Died :


At her fathers home In Opelou-
sas, La, on July 18th, 19o4, AGNES
MAY ALLEN, aged Is years.
Her death was indeed a shock to
the community. She had been
sick for quite u while OF typhoid
fever, but no one was expecting her
death. On. May 10th, 'o4. May
graduated at the Opelousas Insti-
tute. Those WHO were present at
the graduating exercises say that
she specially " distinguished herself,
Her future was indeed bright, and
we cannot understand why God
saw dit to call her up higher; but
we know He makes no mistakes
aFor all things work together fei
good to those who love the LORD!
ats Gods way; His will be DONE
We certainly trust that Gods
richest blessings will rest upon tne
entire family.
1t is hard indeed to give her up,
/ YeSft is sweet to know
That we can meet her where she''
gone,
that bright and shining shore

That is the condition OF Company
B., First Battalion L. S. n. G., of
Opelousas, the crack command
that challenged the admiration and
plaudits OF the people OF New Or
leans, and Of the State at large, on
the occasion Of the New Orleans
carmen strike; the fellows who OUT
drilled everything, pulled .tug-o'-
war" with veteran marine soldiers,
struck terror Id the hearts OF the
strikers, and came home the hero
of the occasion, are now private
citizens. The beautiful silk flag,
che gift OF a proud home people, il
folded, silent and companionless.
The guns are being packed and
sent to the State armorer-it's dead
for keeps.
The Dick Law, which, it is
thought, is a nefarious scheme OF
the Republicans to get control of
the State guard, aud in hands OF a
thing like Roosevelt, use them to
enforce his damnabIe negro policy,
AS well as other rotten policies di-
rected against the South, is doubt
less the cause of the demise OF this
splendid company.

company, is now on the staff oi
