BEREAVEMENT

More grievous than words can ex-
press was the tragic death on Tuesday
last, of young Grafton Dickson. In an
hour of pleasure, while enjoying the
heathful exercise of river bathing, he
was stricken, and, in spite of the heroic
efforts of his young companion, he sank
beneath the waters, never to rise, save
in death Oh, the tragedy of the river,
how grievously sad, how heart breaking.
Only twenty years of life in this world,
yet implanted in his soul and mind were
the loftiest ideals and aspirations. Graf
ton Dickson was, indeed, an exceptional
young man Nobility of purpose char
acterized him, and throughout his in
tercourse with others ran the golden
CLEAN of kindness, consideration and
justice.
How tender is the memory of his
record as a student in our public
schools, ever the trusted pupil, making
for himself place of honor by hon
esty, industry and respectful obedience.
Entering the public schools of New
Orleans, to which city, his devoted
mother temporarily removed when the
eldest son began the study of medicine
at Tulane, and in order that she might
not be separated from her boys, he was
graduated with honor in June 1903. The
following September, he entered the
law department of Tulane, and there
his record will ever remain a shining
one, winning only that to which he was
entitled by his perseverance and am
bition
In the home was his worth most ap-
preciated. Loving and beloved, consid-
crate above all else of his mother, and
the revered grandmother, thinking cor
stantly of what would give pleasure to
others, it is unutterably sad that such
a life should be cut short. The love of
Christ was his treasured possession and
the Golden Rule his guide.
Grafton Dickson was the second son
of the late George Bennett Dickson
and Mrs. Lucille Coty Dickson. His
mother and two brothers, George and
Donald Dickson, and other dear ones,
are left to lament his loss. At Green
wood cemetery, in sight of the beauti-
full home of his birth. he was laid at
rest. A great crowd of sorrowing
friends witnessed the last sad rites.
The deepest sympathy is extended the
sorey bereaved family. A FRIEND.

A NOBLE GIFT.

The Daughters of the Confederacy
have cause for deep thankfulness. The
noble gift of $25oo from Captain Peter
Youree to erect memorial column on
the Veterans ground in Greenwood
cemetery, enables them to at once un-
dertake a part of the work planned, for
which they are now devising ways and
means, the erection of memorial coli
umns to the Confederate dead in each
of the city cemeteries.
The gift is made by Captain Youree
to his comrades-in-arms of the Leroy
Stafford Camp u. c. ", and Shreve-
port Chapter U. D. c. jointly, and to
them he entrusts the fund, which shall
raise heavenward column comElem-
orative of the valor and self sacrifice of
the Confederate Soldier.
This munifcent gift relieves the
Daughters of years Of anxious work
and Encouragement, and makes the way
clear for the accomplishment of their
hearts desire. All, we'll for us all that
there are men of wealth with generous
and noble impulses, who build for pos
terity.
No government raises shaft to the
memory of the soldier of the Confed-
eracy, only through commemorative or
ganizations, and individuals has it been
done. And we should so impress the
children of Confederate soldiers, that
they will esteem it their right and sa-
cred duty to guard and preserve these
memorials as they would their birth
right.
The Veterans and Daughters have
indeed deep cause for thankfulness and
gratitude for this noble gift, from one
who ''wore the gray" who reveres tbs
principles for which Southern men
