Death of e. P. Munsot1.

E. p. Munson, one of Louisiana's
most prominent and successful sugar
planters, died at his home on Glen
wood plantation, Assumption parish,
at II o'clock "a. m. last Sunday, June
25, aged fifty-seVen years. The fu-
neral services were held Monday
forenoon at Christ Episcopal Church
Napoleonville, Rev. Quincy Ewing Of
ficiating, and were attended by
remarkably large gathering Of rela-
tives, friends and acquaintances, the
size and character Of the immense
cortege attesting in some measure
the degree Of esteem and admira-
ton in which Mr.. Munson was held
by his fellow citizens, and the depth
and sincerity Of the sorrow occa-
stoned by his. untimely demise.
Mr. Munson was connected with
many large enterprises in the sugar
district, and was in every respect a
progressive, public-spirited and worthy
citizen. Nowhere has his passing
away created greater or more lasting
regret than in Ascension, where he
had wide circle of friends who join
in extending assurances of profound
sympathy to the bereaYed family.

merous expressions from leading clt-

Board Of Health, adds his valuable
and competent judgment of approval
in the following unequivocal terms:
esThank you for the marked copy
containing Meat and Milk Inspection
Needed You are certainly to pc
commended for the position you are
| assuming. Several of the smaller
towns in the state have already
4 nroyided for this character of in
spection-it is most essential.
In direct line with the proposed
/ system of meat inspection and as
necessary adjunct thereof, is the
proposition that central abbatolf
i be. established where all cattle, sheep
and hogs whose flesh is to be Offered
I for sale would be required to DC
slaughtered under official direction
and surveillance and in accordance
with the best rules Of sanitation
thus guarding against the use Of AM
