In Memory of John w. Daniel.

Another one of the brave band who
wore the Gray in the Sixties has passed
away; gone to join the innumerable
hosts in the great Beyond. Our COM
rade, John w. Daniel, in whose memory
we offer this tribute, enlisted in the
Third Company Of the Eighth Battery
of the Louisiana Heavy Artillery early
in the war. The command was first
stationed at a fortified point on the
Mississippi River, below New Orleans,
called Chalmette. After the capture
Of that part of the State by the Federal
Army, the Battery to which our COM
rade belonged was sent to Vicksburg
where it remained till the fall of that
place, July 4, 1868, during all of which
time he was in active service. As mem
bers of the same company we had he
opportunity to become thoroughly &C
quainted with his character as Il man,
| q soldier and a comrade. There was no
duty that he was not ready to perform,
| and in camp he was a loyal friend and a
boon companion. e ready to render
| assistance to the needy and give wise
| counsel to the erring. Being actuated
by a devout Christian spirit, he was
always an opposer of evil and a promo
tor of good. During the memorable
seige of Vicksburg he was ever at his
post, ~unf1inchingly and accomplishing.
". doing his duty. Being director of
one of the heavy guns, his position in
battle was one of the most exposed to
danger, yet such was his gallantry that
it ELECTED tho compliments of his supe-
| riors in office and the praises of his
fellow soldiers. He was never known
to complain of the hardships of a sol
diers life, but cheerfully encouraged
his comrades to bear the ills of their
lots and do their duty. After the fall
of Vicksburg he had a few months
| respite, as a parOlled prisoner, at his
home i'm Louisiana. On being ex-
changed he again entered tho service
with his command which was then as
signed to duty at Fort Bulah, on Red
River, inst above Alexandria, La,
| where he remained till the end of the
federate forces, he reunited with his
family on his plantation, situated on
Bayou Boeuf, in st. Landry Parish, La,
| where he reclaimed his estate from the
desolation of war, and reared and edu-
Gated a large family of girls and boys,
seven of whom, three daughters and
four sons, survive him. 1t had been
his greatest effort and desire to stamp
upon the lives of his children the same
Christian integrity that had always
characterized his own life, and it was a
great consolation to the old man to
know that they had all grown up to be
useful and respected citizens in the
communities where they resided. The
death of our beloved comrade occurred
at the old home ahaVe described, on
the fourth day of November, 1905.
Peace be to his ashes, and a crown
of glory in Heaven be his reward. We
feel assured that all the other members
Of the old company would join Us in
this tribute to his memory.
Respectfully and fraternally.

Hold Your Cotton for Is Cents.

To the holders of Cotton in Louisiana;
We asked for Eleven Gents and we
got it. Now we ask for Fifteen Gents
and aUe are going to get it, Ii we do not
it will be because you who W the
Cotton do not want Fifteen Cents fol
it and will not help us to get that price
for you. Ii you do help you may be
sure that you will receive the price.
The %spinners will not be hurt by hay-
ing to pay Fifteen Cents for the balance
OF this crop. They have already bought
the biggest half of it at around IL
cents and now il we make them pay
10 cents for the balance it will bring
the average price of the whole crop at
about 12a cents and that will not be a
high price for a short crop like this,
especially when the best informed
people claim that they have been sell
ing the manufactured goods on a basis
of IA cents raw cotton aver since last
Spring.
We are going to ask you to sign a
pledge to hold for 30 days unless the
price reaches Is cents before then. The
wording OF the pledge, a plain business
proposition. follows:
We the following named citizens
0f..--.....Post Office Parish,
Louisiana, hereby agree to use every
power at our command to hold thenum-
Der of bales of cotton stated opposite
our respective anne for ninety days
from date and refuse to sell any of said
cotton within that time for less than
Fifteen Gents per pound, basis middling,
at our market points.
The names of all signatures will be
confidential and none given out to the
public by the Association, only the
aggregate number of bales from each
county held.
Mail above pledges when signed
promptly to Southern Cotton Associa-
ton, Atlanta. Ga.
II your parish is not organized it will
he necessary fof a few of your large
holders OF Cotton to get together and
make arrangements to have a canvass
of your parish made securing pledges
from everyone who still has cotton and
who can hold for ninety days, in order
quarters at Atlanta. Ga. as soon as
possible. The quicker Mr.. Jordan can
announce to the world that he has
the pledges signed in his Office the
quicker will the price of cotton go to Is
cents. Therefore write or wire me at
once for blank pledges, sign them your
self and get all your neighb0rs to sign,
SO that we may tie up the cotton at
nee and hold for ninety days if neces-
sary to get our price. / earnestly ask
the cooperation of every man who
still has cOttOkyin Louisiana to join Us
in this movement because | know it
will mean money to him If he does. Let
me hear from you.
Yours for Fifteen cent cotton,
