the memory of John N. Hicks, who died
at his home in this city on Thursday,
March ri, haye reported to Judges Bell
and Murf and their Association as fol-

May 1t Please Your Honors:
Your committee to whom was COM
mitted the painful duty of drafting suit
able resolutions expressing the feeling
| of the Shreveport Bar upon the death of
our deceased brother member, John N.
Hicks, now come TO make this report:
The subject of these resolutions, our
/ deceased brother, John n Hicks, was
born at Shelbyville, Texas, on the 22nd
day of December 1916, inc of the chill
dren of Judge A. w O. Hicks, who
graced this bar and adorned this bench
for many years as the records of this
court will attest
The deceased was admitted to the bar
in 1866 and actively and honorably prac-
ticed his chosen profession until a few
years ago, when i'll health required him
to cease the active pursuits of the
forum
His father, Judge A. w O. Hicks,
preceded him to the grave but short
while ago, having attained the ripe old
age of OF years.
The deceased has been a citizen of
Shreveport and member of this bar
since 1866. Coming here from the State
of Texas soon after the termination of
the Civil War, he and his father began
the practice of law under the firm name
of Hicks & Hicks. This was before the
advent of the stenographer and type
writer, when the good scribe was much
in demand, and being an excellent pen
man he was frequently called upon to
assist in the work of the court and of
the clerks office, and the judicial record
as well as the conveyance and the mort
gage records of Caddo parish will long
bear evidence of the symmetry and
beauty of his penmanship.
The predominant traits of character
of our deceased brother was generosity
and kindness He had no desire for
wealth or fame. The spirit of CONNER
cialisn could not dry up nor pollute the
well-springs of his genial and kindly
disposition
The contentnent and montgomery oi

and satisfactory to him than the fierce

 Radford Leicester sat beside Olive Castlemaine, and all admitted that they were the most striking looking couple in the room. Had they met in some brilliant society throng, they would have been just as noteworthy. Moreover this was one of those nights when Radford Leicester found him- self in a mood to exert himself, while Olive Castlemaine, as hostess, na- turally desired to be agreeable.
