Since our last meeting our worthy
Chairman has died. His death, which

leaves a void in our midst difficult to
supply. William Marshall Prescott
was born and reared in the Parish Of
St. Landry. He was an upright man,
devoted husband and father, and a
lifelong member Of the Democratic
party, being the Chairman of this
body at the time of his death. When
a mar such as he, dies, public ex-
preston Of regret at his demise
should be extended TO his family and
the community of which he was a
worthy member.
Therefore, Be It resolved, by the
Parish Democratic Executive Commit
tee now in session, that we sincerely
deplore the death of the late Chair
man Of this body and extend to his
family our coincidence in this the hour
of their great grief.
Be it further resolved, That as a
mark Of respect, these resolutions be
ordered spread upon the minutes Of
this body; that copies thereof be
the local papers for publ
and an attested copy be mail
ed the family Of the deceased.

the city Of New Orleans on the 18th

numerous friends throughout this

the high duties conferred upon
him by the electorate Of this parish,
by reason Of illness, which he strove
nightly 70 overcome, lis family and
trends are cast g i%mpenetrable
over his u.timsly taking off.
Is evidence of the high regard in
