In Memory Of Mrs. Amanda Ether
edge.

Mrs. Amanda Etheredge was born
and raised in Saluda county. She
was the only daughter Of ElizAb 9TH
and George Addy. She had two
brothers, Messrs. John and Levi Ad-
dy both of whom are dead.
Early in life she joined Corinth
Evangelical Lutheran church and re-
NAMED consistent member Of that
church up until few years ago when
she joined Nazareth Methodist Epis-
copal church with her husband and
there remained true member until
death.
She was twice married first to
Mr.. Clifford Etheredge. To this un-
ion was born four children-tWo Of
them are still living. She was mar
ried the second time to Mr.. Allen
Etheredge and to this union was born
seven children, all Of whom are still
living. Her husband died seven
years ago.
December 9TH Mrs. Etheredge had
a stroke Of paralysis and for days
there seemed to be no hopes of her
recovery but then she rallied and on
Christmas day she was carried on her
chair to the dining room to eat her
dinner. She asked that all the chill
dren be present as that would be her
last Christmas with them. During
her sickness she spoke beautifully
about dying and would often sing and
speak Of how happy she was.
On the night Of January 18th she
seemed so contented sitting in her
roller chair and was engaged in a
pleasant conversation with her chill
dren when she had a stroke Of apo
plexy and although she lived several
days, she did not gain consciousness.
She died February 4, and was buried
at Nazareth church in the presence
Of a large and sympathetic congrega-
tion. Age SO years, 10 months and Z
days.
Dear mother thou hast left us,
Sad and lonely yet are we,
But we feel our earthly loss
Is but eternal gain for thee.
Sweetly you spoke Of Heaven
And of Jesus power to save,
When asked what chapter I should
It was: "The Good Shepherd if
you please.''
We shall strive to meet thee mother
In that happy home above
There together to sing praises
Of Jesus and his love.
Daughter.

WORDS OF PRAISE FOR
SUPERINT TE,NDENT
ARMAS DURIO.

The Clarion stated last week, COM
menting on the election of Mr. Armas
Durio to the superintendeney Of the
0pelousas Waterworks and electric
lights plant, that the new Superin-
tendent had given general satisfac-
tion in Crowley, where he had been
employed In d similar capacity for
several years.
The Clarion,s statement is now
borne out by the Crowley Signal, Of
Crowley, which says in its issue Of
Wednesday Of this week:
Announcement is made that City
Electrician Durio viii resign his po-
sition at an early date to accept a
similar post in charge of the city
electric light plant at 0pelousas at
an advanced salary. Mr.. Durio has
undertaken to put the 0pelousas cleo
tric light and power plant on a pay
ing basis.
"Mr. Durio has been in charge OF
the Crowley electric hight and water
works plant since 1902. When he
took charge of the plant It was in a
very unsatisfactory condition. The
service was uncertain and inefficient,
and the plant was not on paying
basis. Durio in short time had put
the plant on an efficient basis, and
there has been practically no complaint
of bad service il more than six years.
The electric light plant is now on a
self-sustaining basis.
Mr.. Durio has been b hard worker,
and a bard student. He has inn
proved his electrical knowledge and
has made himself competent cleo
trician. He has conducted the af-
fairs Of the city plant with the min
imum friction BIZ attention TO bis busi-
ness and BY being always accomno-
dating. He should succeed ID his
task at 0pelouaas

The vehicle and per capita tax

This is the emphatic declaration Of

Clarion Thursday Of this week.

money will come into the treasurY, Y
continued the Sheriff. & will put
men ii every ward whose duty will
be to see that this tax is paid, and
to report all yiolators. Those out
laWed viii be shown nc mercy I did
not impose the tax, but the law
which am sworn to uphold makes I'll
my duty to collect it. The excuse
given by some for non-payment Of
the tax: that the roads are not work
ed in their wards, does not concern
me in the fulfllment Of my duty. The.
Police Jury is the place to bring such
grievances, not the Sheriff's Office.
16ll bnem all Tor me Gflat they must
come to the quilting.
Sheriff Swords will next week, or
as soon as practicable, place deputy
ii every ward il the parish, whose
duty will be to look after delinuuen-
eies in the road tax. He is right III
his statement that he can play no
favorite in the matter, but that all
must pay alike.
The vehicle and per capita tax are
essential to the maintainance of the
public roads. The heaviest tax paid
by the people is the bad roads. IA
broken vehicle, lamed and sometime
dead horse, the lighter loads that
must be carried in heavy roads, are
the real burdensome tax. The pay
ment Of one or two Of more dollars
is nothing compared tu the eonse-
quences of non-payment, which is re-
sponsible in most instances for inn
passable roads.
The Sheriff is right.
