Born in Baton Rouge, where she
resided until 1872, che had been a
resident of Opelousas since that date,
and had endeared herself to q wide
circle of friends and relatives in this

born and reared, and these will long
retain a vivid recollection of the
virtues that adorned her noble char
acter, chief among which was char
ity, sweet charity" Not only did
she never tarn a deaf ear to the cry
of distress. but she was always seek
ing out those who had been dealt
with cruelty BY the hand OF Fate and
whose sufferings always appealed
with irresistible force to her tender
heart.
n her long life she had tasted Of
the sweets Of the haIeyon days when
the country was happy and prosper

NO PLACE NAMED FOR
MEETING OF Sd And
4TH CLASS PMS
Opelousas is Pitted Against
New Orleans for Position,
with No Result

The Third and Fourth class POST
masters met in convention Wednes-
day, in New Orleans, and passed many
eommendabIe resolutions.
Opelousas, through Dr.. Hawkins of
Palmetto and H. u. Ealich Of Chicot,
made d desperate fight to secure the
next convention Of these postmasters,
New Orleans being the competitor
for the honor. The fight was so
close that it was decided to leave the
matter Of selecting q meeting place
t the Executive Committee.
Speaking OF the fight for q meeting
place, the Times-D Democrat report
says:
THE only contest during the con-
yention arose when the matter of
selecting the next place Of meeting
was brought up. A resolution had
already been adopted endorsing a
plan for holding joint annual sessions
with The League of First and Second
ClassPostmasters and the appointment
of a committee to effect this purpose
had been authorized. Then when The
matter of selecting tbe next place q
meeting arose. immediate opposition
developed to naming a place and
date. because it might frnstrate the
holding Of a combined meeting Of the
two leagues in 1911. Henry Erich
Of Bayou Chicot sought to carry tbs
convention to 0pelousas, IN spite q
this opposition and New Orleans va;
also nominated By Burton Leblanc d
ST. Gabriel. Finally after a sharE
debate, motions to name the place
ana date we're tabled, and selection
lsft co the executive committee.

sufferings Of their sorely tried coun-
trymen. Then came again the bright
days when she saw growing np
aronnd her and filling places Of honor
and usefulness the descendants Of
her sisters and brothers, to whom
she was ever unselfshlY devoted and
who reyered her almost al a mother.
With a heart filed with the hope Of
a blessed Immortality and with graft
tude to the Giyer of all good gifts
Gho had permitted her to fill her
days with SO much of elf-abnegation
and self-sscrifce, she passed peace
fully and painlessly away to that
mysterious land whence none have
ever returned. May her soiourn be
everlasting in the regions of the
blest.
