William Gardner, a we'll dressed

VIOLET MEETINGS
NEARING CLOSE
Evangelist Urges Hearers to Accept
Christ Before it is Too Late.

The interest in the Violet meet
ings increases every day and the
evangelist preached Sunday morning
on The Resurrection of Jesus to
an appreciative audience. The new
tent is such good one that the
downpour early Sunday morning did
not in any way make it uncomfort-
able for those present. After the
morning service, the regular COM
munion service was partaken of as
is and always has been the custom of
Christ's followers on the first day of
the week.
Sunday night the evangelist preach
ed to packed house, which shows
the popularity of Mr.. Violet and the
great plea which he is presenting to
the people of our CITY, Whatever is
thought of the evangelist personally,
all have to admit that he is sticking
close to the Bible and has treated all
of the denominations in the spirit of
Christian. He preached wonder
full discourse on Prepare to Meet
Thy Cod reading from the ninetieth
Psalm.
The Thank Offering Sunday evening
was even better than was expected,
amounting to $12S.20. Most of those
giving signed their names so that it
IS known that persons from all walks
of life helped to make this meeting
one of the most phenomenal in this
particular of any meeting that was
ever held in the city. The church
officers have only asked the public
about ten times during this entire
series for an offering and they have
been complimented by the business
men for the novel plan adopted. All
interested desire to thank each and
everyone that has made it possible
for them to carry on this work.
Last night the evangelist preach
ed on Jesus in the Home reading
from Luke, tenth chapter, and John,
eleventh chapter. In the first chap
ter, the evangelist showed where
Martha had the opportunity to en-
brace the teachings of the Master
that she had to learn at the death of
her brother Lazarus, and in the lat
ter chapter he showed the Master in
the home of Martha and Mary in their
great hour of need, and urged upon
his hearers to accept Christ while
the hour of opportunity was before
them and not put it of until the hour
of necessity overlook them when it
might possibly be too late.
Two more came into the church
last night, making total of sixty
nine during this campaign.
Tonight will be the last meeting OF
this series and Mr.. Violet will preach
upon the pure in Heart, reading
from the Fifth chapter Of Matthew.
Tomorrow night he will deliver his
lecture at the tent on EGYPT and the
Holy Land showing some OF the new
slides that he has just recently had
made.

Creston sent him to Gardner and told
him to tell Gardner he wanted to
see him. They met in a saloon and
Claxion says Creston offered to let
the matter drop if Gardner would
give him a ticket to Memphis.
w. C. Alexander, saloon man,
testified that Creston told him of the
alleged Gardner robbery, but he said
at that time that it occurred in a
Third avenue saloon, while he and
Gardner were drinking together Mrs
R. L. Austin told of the men being at
Gardner's room later in her dining
room and of their enjoying glass of
beer together, but denied the charge
that Gardner had robbed Cresron.
She says the men were never seated
close enough together while they
were in her company to give Gard
ner an opportunity to grab money
from Creston's hand, as charged
Gardner denied the charge in toto, de-
claring that Creston had offered to
drop the whole matter If he would
give him q ticket to Memphis and ten
dollars. This Gardner refused to do

At Rest

The Chief is called ,.pen this week To-
perform the sad duty Of chronicling the
death of two of the Oldest and most
highly respected residents of this com
munity, Mrs. Aristide Genazzini and Mrs.
Dominique Variant, Sr., both of whom
were born in Ascension parish and had
made their home in Donaldsonville
throughout practically all of their long
lives.
Mrs Genazzini was found dead in bed
Monday morning at her residence in Rail-
road avenue adjoining the Methodist
church, having apparently passed peace
fully away during the night from the eff
fects of an attack of heart failure. She
was seventy-eight years, seven months
and twenty-one days of age, and was be-
fore her marriage Miss Elmire Landry.
Her remains were laid to rest in the
Catholic cemetery at 5 o'clock p. m. Mon
day, after impressive services at Ascen-
sion Church. The following children sur
vive her. Mrs j. H. Matthew, Mrs. Eugene
Landry, Mrs. Octavie BailIy, Mrs. Angela
Bailly, and Charles Genazzini.
Mrs Variant, whose maiden name was
Marie Martinez, died at 8 o'clock p. m.
Tuesday, Aug. 8, at the residence of her
daughter-in- law, Mrs. Dominique Variant,
Jr., in Chetimaches street, at the ripe old
age of eighty-nine years, four months and
seventeen days. Her candle of life had
burned to the socket, and when the flick
ering flame was quietly snuffed out by
the gentle hand of death she was pre-
pared for the end and passed peacefully
and painlessly away iFs the consciousness
of life well spent and duty nobly done.
The funeral took place at o'clock We'd
nesday afternoon and was attended by
large concourse of sorroWing relatives and
friends. Services were held at a Ascension
Church and interment was made in the
family tomb in the Catholic cemetery.
Mrs. Variant is survived by large num-
Der of grandchildren, great-grandchildren
and other relatives.
To the bereaved families of these two
venerable and highly esteemed Christian
women who have passed from their tenn
porary abode in this life to that eternal
home beyond the skies, The Chief, in COM
mon with the entire community, begs
leave to tender assurances of sincere
sympathy.
