Death Of Mrs. ]. S. Raymond.

DIR. and Mrs. j. G. Lilly were
called to Washington, Miss, on
Monday last by the illness of Mrs.
Lilly's sister, Mrs. Raymond, wife
of Prof. J. S. Raymond, President
of Jefferson College. Mrs. Raymond
has been an invalid for number
of years and little hope for her re-
covery has been entertained for
some time. Upon the arrival of DR..
and Mrs. Lilly it was apparent that
the end was not far off, and death
relieved the patient of her suffering
on Wednesday evening, at the age
of 55 years.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Ray
mond leaves one daughter, Miss Jo-
sephine Raymond, who is SO we'll
known to and highly esteemed by our
people, having served as member
of the faculty of the st. Joseph High
School last year, and to whom the
deepest sympathy of her many
friends here is extended. She is
also survived by two sisters and one
brother, Miss Mollie Grafton of
Natchez, Mrs. Lilly of st. Joseph
and Mr.. Kirby Grafton of Natchez.
The deceased was a daughter of
the late Major Grafton, in his day
a distinguished writer and journalist,
and came from two of the best fam
lilies in Mississippi.
The great army of students who
have attended Jefferson College dur
ing Mrs. Raymond's utilization with
that historical institution, and to
whom she was ever most kind, will
be deeply grieved to hear of her
death and will drop a tear to her
memory.
The Natchez Democrat pays her
the following much deserved tribute:
She was a woman of brilliant mind
and accomplishments, charming hostess
at all the affairs at the college, and she
was always striving to do some good and
eager to lend her assistance to every
movement for the uplift of humanity.
Her death is a severe blow to her hus-
band, gentleman of most lovable char
ter, to whom the deepest sympathy Of
this community and all who know him
will be extended in his bereavement.

Mrs. Mary Niche, widow Of the
late Mr.. David Niche, has presen-
ed the Sheriff's Office at st. Joseph
with a daguerrsotype showing an
excellent likeness OF group of gen.
tlemen who were prominent citizens
and officials Of this parish in ante
bellum days. The groupis composed
Of: Judge Reeve Lewis. lawyer and
jurist, Capt. w. G. Niche, for
many years Assessor, Mr.. Chas. B.
Routh, planter and influential cit
izen, Mr.. Ed Snodgrass, Clerk Of
Police Jury and deputy Recorder,
and Mr.. George Williams, for more
than twenty years Sheriff of Tensas
parish. The picture was taken in
1878 and is remarkably well pre-
served. These gentlemen were all
prominent in the life of the parish
in the days that have past, and
were intimately associated with all
that made for the public welfare
Having served their country faith
fully and conscientously in war and
in peace, they have all answered the
last RON call and joined the silent
majority. Peace to their ashes.

The surviving members of the
Constitutional Convention of Louis
lana Of 1898 are arranging for a
Reunion at the Grunewald Hotel in
New Orleans On 18th May. The
members of that famous Convention
are rapidly diminishing in number
and it is sincerely to be hoped that
the few survivors can arrange to at
tend this gathering and renew the
friendships made thirteen years ago,
when they served together for nine
ty-four days to the great and last
benefit of the State.
Tensas was represented in that
Convention by Hon. R. H. Snyder,
who like 30 many other faithful
servants OF the Commonwealth, has
gone to his reward, and Hon. Thos,
M. Wade and Senator &C. Cordill,
both Of whom are yet at the zenith
Of their usefulness. 1t is probable
that both these gentlemen will at.
tend the Reunion.

Dogs Instead Of Wolves.
(Times-Democrat.)

Are the animals which are caus-
ing so much CONSERVATION among
the farmers and planters of Tensas
parish by their killing Of small ami
mails and fawns really nothing more
than semi-savage dogs? This is a
question which is being argued
among the interested people of that
vicinity and the officials Of the
Game Commission, who have been
asked to give their aid in extermi-
mating the pests.
Until recently no one questioned
the statement that the animals were
real wolves. But few weeks ago
one Of the animals was killed, and
was discovered to be a dog with
just enough Of the wolf character
istic to prove that he had lived with
the varmints" for several years at
least. Whether this an obsolete case
or not, is a question which will be
settled when the wolf drive, which
IS being planned by the Game Com
mission for the next month or SO,
is held.
1t is a known fact that the wolves
were at one time very numerous in
this part Of the State, but ten years
ago they seemed to be scarce. 1t is
only during the past five years that
they have become so numerous as
to make an appeal to State officials
necessary. The lawns are being
killed in great numbers by the So
called wolves, and the small live
stock Of the farmers is unsafe unless
protected by strong fences.
Inasmuch as this dog appeared at
a distance to look exactly like the
other marauders, it is not thought
that there will be many examples
Of the subject matter of Jack Lon
don's Call of the Wild" found
when a wholesale slaughter of the
"varmints" takes place.

Continued nom ard psgeJ


in the year that the law relating to cross
ing the levee with syphons, and flooding
the land adjacent to the levee would be
enforced. The Board of State Engineers
have drawn up plans and specifications
for bringing water over the levee 50 it
will work the least possible hardship con-

It is therefore thought that all rice
planters should meet the levee authorities

and public spirit to assist in taking care
of, and protecting the levees which all
must recognize as Of vital Importance,
and the property Of the whole public.

To the HonV. Judge of the Tenth
District Court, Parish Of Ten
sds, State of Louisiana:

To the HOnV. Judge of the Tenth
District Court, Parish of Ten
sds, State Of Louisiana:
We, the members of the Grand
Jury for said parish, convened at
this April term of Court, beg leave
to submit this our final report:
We have examined into all mat
tiers brought to our attention. We
have had summoned before US rep
resentative citizens from the differ
ent sections of this parish, and have
investigated all matters brought to
our attention concerning the law
and order, and as a result have
found true bills. We therefore feel
that we may justly congratulate
Tensas parish, its citizens and Of
ficials upon the small amount of
crime, and express both the wish
and belief that a continuation of
the policy that a strict and yet fair
enforcement of the laws, combined
with the growing sentiment for
peace and order may perpetuate
this condition.
We have examined the public
buildings and find them neat and
well kept. In this connection we
strongly urge that the water works,
cess poll and sanitary fixtures con-
nected with the public buildings be
at once renewed or repaired so as
to give efficient services.
We are gratifed at the marked
improvement in the condition of
the public roads in this parish that
has taken place within the last few
years, and strongly recommend that
the Holly Wood Lane, which is a
part of one of the most important
thoroughfares connecting the North
ern and Southern portions of this
parish, be at once widened and bet
ter drained, and that arrangements
be made for the use of the split-log
on this lane. The necessity for Wild
ening and draining this road is ac-
centuated by reason Of the large rice
plants adjacent thereto.
Respectfully submitted,
A. ]. GIBSON, Foreman.
