We learned this week that Mr.. John
Emmett Biggs of Bellevue several weeks
ago went to Southwest Texas with view
Of settling there. He is making this
change in the hope of benefitting his
failing health.
A lively visitor in this community at
present is our little friend, Miss Marga-
ret Thompson, daughter of Mr.. w. A..
Thompson of Hosston, and granddaugh-
ter Of Mr.. A. R. Thompson of near Col
linsburg. She is at present a guest at
Linwood, the country home of Mr.. and

Mr.. R. w. Hanks and family of Red
Water, Texas, came in Sunday for visit
of ten days or two weeks with relatives.
Mr.. Hanks is native of Bossier Parish,
is well known among our readers, and
was formerly agent for the Cotton Belt
Company at this place. He is son of
Mrs. M. H. Hanks.
Mr.. J. w. White, until recently the
Cotton Belts local agent, is spending
two weeks in Missouri hunting and fish
ing. His present address is Kenneth,
that State. We are told that when he
returns to the parish he will have en-
ployment at Bolinger as conductor on a
logging train to be operated by the saw
mill company there. AS the train will
be operated partly over the Cotton Belts
track it is necessary that it be in charge
of conductor who is a telegraph ope-
rator.
A Premature Death.
Miss Lima Tidwell, eldest daughter OF
the late Maj. Thomas J. and Mrs. Emma
(Arnold) Tidwell, died Tuesday after
noon at the home of her mother, some
miles south of this place, and was laid to
rest the following day in Red River
graveyard. She had suffered for some
time from a malignant type of illness,
and her death was no doubt not un-
expected.
Miss Tidweli was all her life God
fearing, full of dev otion for parents and
other near ones, of meek, loving ant
charitable disposition, traits common tt
her family, and was loved and respected
by all who knew her. 1t is indeed a sac
blow to the family that one so gentle, 81
tender and SO loving should thus b.
gathered into that fold above while We
in the morning of life.
She is survived by her mother, two
, sisters-Mrs. T. w. w. Stinson and Mis-
, Sallie Tidwell two brothers - Messrs
w. S. and T. A. Tidwell-and numbe
of other relatives. Mrs. Sallie M. Smis
, son and Miss Alice Arnold, both of thi
parish, are aunts of the deceased, ant
Mr.. J. M. Arnold of this place and Mr.
G. w. Arnold of Reagan County, Texas
uncles. The children of the late Mrs
Luda Brownlee of this place are cousins
To the grieved relatives the write
offers coincidence, and hopes that the.
may find solace in the thought OF lif
we'll lived and a reward for the just il
that home not prepared by mortal hands
