VINCENT BARRAS.

Saturday morning at ten O'Clock
Mr.. Vincent Barras died at bis
home in this town at the age OF
II years.
H. was buried ut eleven O'Clock
Sunday morning and his remains
were followed to the grave by q
large number of relatives and
friends.
In the death of Mr.. Vincent Bar.
ras we lose one of our citizens oil
whom there are few of such char
acter and disposition.
Mr.. Barras was not a man of the
world or of society, but a man de-
voted to duty, and his family re.
sponsibilities, and his life wac
spent in fulfilling that duty which
he owed to his country and those
dependent upon him.
At the opening of the war with
others of his young friends he re-
sponded to tho call of duty and
shouldered his gun in defense of
his country.
After the war he returned to bis
plantation and gave his attention
to farming and stock raising and
when in time of prosperity none
around him was allowed to suffer
as his kindness aud charity knew
no bound and had no limit.
He was a man brave and firm in
character. but his amiable and
kind disposition made him the
friend of every one.
Two or three years ago when
MIR. j. f. Bertrand and bis wife
died within the short time of fif-
teen days, Mr. Barras who Was the
father of Mrs. Bertrand and his
good family came to town to take
charge of Mr.. aud Mrs. Bertrand's
smaller children aud raised them
As their own children.
A good man has gone to receive
the rewards of a life that was spent
as a devoted Catholic, a good hus-
band. a loving father an a true
friend.

Practical Young Men.

CHARLEY GRAPEWlN

Charley Grapewin, the unusual CO., median, who will appear here at the Elks Theater December l. in a new i lay Above the Limit, disproves in the old adage that it takes three gen. erations to make gentleman. for in the short period of five years he deV- elops the dirty, erinmy, slangy, though happy, Jimmy Hicks into as polished a gentleman as one could wish for This does not mean that he changes the clothes of Jimmy Hicks for Mr Hicks. but he improves himself mentally as we'll This trans action is the theme if the little com edy, filled with heart interest as well as ianumerable funny situations. Tn the character of Jimmy Hicks, Mr. Grapewin's portrayal of an uncouth disciple of slang who realizes that his ignorance in the one barrier which would prevept his marriage to the girl he loves, and who, by sheer determination educates himself, is one of the best examples of acting that has been seen on the stage This Is the verdict of the critics who have seen MT. Grapewin's performance in his new play.
