DR.. Edgar e. Martin.

DR.. Edgar E. Martin died at Rhome,
Texas, on the 9th instant. Deceased
was son of DR.. Robert B. Martin, and
was born near Rocky Mount in 1872.
The death of DR.. Martin removes from
the citizenship of Bossier Parish one of
the most learned, honorable and esteem
ed characters; one beloved by every one
who knew him and respected in every
sphere of life.
In the vigor of intellectual manhood
and the prime of life, his usefulness as
citizen promised much for his native
parish. His career, already marked and
honored, had not reached its zenith,
but continually grew brighter as the
years OF study and experience sharpened
his intellectual powers and ripened his
judgment. Perhaps no man in the parish
was more respected and loved, and all
who knew him as one of Boosters noblest
and purest citizens will unite in the sor-
rows that have befallen his stricken rel
atives.

know that the fruit of our utmost striv-

Death came to him in distant land,

sleeps in a country church-yard where
the pine trees murmur peace and rest to
his grand and noble soul. And to-day,

Mr.. ]. L. Crawford's little daughter,
Jim, suffered very painful accident last
Sunday, getting the index finger Of her
right hand cut nearly off, while crack

along very well.
DR.. r. H. Blackman was hobbling
about in the house last Sunday on
crutches. He hopessto be out again
soon. The Doctors father has been
with him for some time but expects to
leave for his home in Catahoula Parish
as soon as the guarantees are raised.
Our school opened up this season with
t49 pupils and five teachers and is NOV

Quite crowd of Plain Dealing people
attended the funeral of DR.. E. E. Martin,
at Rocky Mount, Monday, which shows
the high esteem in which the Doctor was
held by those who knew him.
John Green and Jake Caldwell, two
colored men living near Plain Dealing,
found in the woods near their homes last
Monday newly made grave. They re-
ported it to Mr.. j. w. Walker and he
and Mr.. Q. Jones went to the grave and
dug into it, finding nothing buried there,
but found that the grave had been dry
some time previous and the supposition
is that the party or parties who dug il
had returned and removed what ever
they had buried there, then refilling the
