his mother and father. Industrious.

loved and priced by all who knew him.
He was favorite of his family at home

His infinite wisdom saw fit to take hin
from this world of pain and sorrow, 70
this life is only deep sea of trouble
He bore his affection with so mucl
grace, seemed to be submissive to any
thing that would come on him, ane
there is nothing that can be more con
soling to his loved ones left behind thar
his testimony. He said he would love t.
be restored to health again, but as il
was Gods will for him to go, he was
prepared, was at perfect peace with his
Saviour, and only dreaded the sting oil
death and passing through the dark
| valley and shadow of death, but had the
blessed assurance of gracious God to
guide him through, that only a few
struggles. and then in the fullness OF
heaven, there to enjoy peace and love
throughout eternity. Then take cour-
age, mother, father, brothers and sis
tiers, for in this bereavement there is a
cause for rejoicing, and if you will only
live for Jesus during this life, you have
the sweet promise of going to him
where you. can rejoice together and
never have to part again. What grand
thought that should be. He can never
come to you again, but you can go to
him.

Wide the shining gates are opened.
For his loved ones left at home,
And to them back comes the echo,
Oh. suffer them to come!
In glorious robes of brightness
Is the dear one now arrayed,
All unstained by earth the Wilderness
Such little time he stoyed.
He's gone from every stormy wind that
blows,
From every swelling tide of woes.
Enjoying peace and sure retreat,
Living with Jesus at the mercy-seat.
Gone to place where Jesus will shed
The oil Of gladness on his head,
To be with loved ones that are so sweet,
And be with Jesus at the mercy-seat.
Gone to home where his spirit blends,
Where he holds fellowship with friends.
Gone from us here, but by faith we'll
meet,
And life with Jesus at the mercy-seat.
Gone above evermore to glow,
Bathed in the dews of heaven,
Ciasped on the stem of love,
And eternal joys are given.

His life was serene, filled with peace and
love,
Till the angel Of heaven whispered:
Your home is above

w. A. PLEASANTS
He Has Crossed Over the River to
Rest Under the Shade of the Trees

W. A. Peasants was born in Virginia
in 1871.
His demise occurred at the residence
of his sister-in-law, Mrs. F. A. Leonard
on Sunday, June ii, at 4 pm. He died
of Bright's disease.
He located in Shreveport soon after
the historical conflict between the states,
and from that time he became fully
identified with the progress and the wei
fare of this city and section.
From clerkship, he gradually rose
to membership. in the firms with which
he was connected-Conway, Buckelew
and Pleasants-which succeeded each
other in their commercial career, when
he became the head of the firm of w. A
Peasants Hardware Company, Limited,
one of the largest and most substantial
In the State. He devoted all his energies
to his affairs, especially since his beloved
consort departed this life nearly a quar-
ter of century ago, and he had become
infatuated with his office where he could
be found at his desk, generally busy but
always genial and ready with the glad
hand of welcome and smile for his
personal friends and the friends of the
hrm. He was regarded by many, espe-
clally those who did not know him, as
being dlffldent, somewhat reticent, but
he was generous and was man of
broad views and synpathies and pro-
gressive. He never could be a dress
parade man. but he was ever true and
sincere; he was reliable
As citizen he fulfilled his duties
quietly but effectively.
As a friend and man his hand was
always opened to good deeds.
He was a member of the A. O. u. w,
which teaches Charity and good will.
He was a Sir Knight of the Order of
St. John and Malta, an organization
in which leading citizens are enrolled
IN its membership, an order which is
neither political nor sectarian, but whose
eaehings are founded OH the broadest
of Christianity, practical fra
ernity and The advancement of morality
ind virtue
he was Confederate soldier, one of
he gallant band who constituted the
lrst company Of Richmond Howitzers,
whose guns Numbered victory as well as |
ieflance on sangui11ary fields in Viz |
yinla. From the day when, as beard |
ess youth, he volunteered in the defenset
# the South to the end Of the drama at !,
ApeomattoS, he was always actively en- !
ragged in the tllickest Of the conflicts. He

he Seven Days battle before Richmond. i
It Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Spotsyl-
fania Court House, in a word in the |
errihc engagements which appalled, the
world and challenged admiration for the

But he IS no more. He has answered

hoicest spirits who. holding their con-
c1ence unmixed with blame, have been,
n all conieetures. true to themselves,
