A Good Man Claimed by Death.

The family and many friends OF Mr..
William j. Dawson of this place were
painfully shocked early last Sunday
morning when it was learned hat he had
been very suddenly called from the walks
Of this life to enter upon the realities OF

horse and drank cup of coffee and lay
down again to wait until breakfast was
ready, and died within few minutes.
Mr.. Dawson was native Of England,
and about fifty-five years of age at the
tine OF his death. For the past forty
years he made his home in Caddo Parish
and at this place. He was an active and
useful citizen, quiet and unassuming.
