(COmnlunicated.1

The sympathetic chords Of the
hearts Of our people are deeply
touched at the loss of one we have
ever regarded with the greatest af-
feetion, and the memory of whose
value and virtue we will ever hold
sacred. David Herman BraWley, born
Nov. %, 1868, died Friday, March %.
1912, at the home of his only brother,
G. M. BraWley, of Galvez, with whom
he had resided all his life. Funeral
services were conducted by Rev.
Brown, of Port Vincent, interment
being made in the beautiful burial
ground at Prairieville. The obsequies
were attended by a large concourse
of sorrowing relatives and friends,
tie funeral cortege, by its size and
character, attesting the esteem in
which the deceased was held ard
the degree of sorrow occasioned by
his demise
Although Mr.. BraWley will be
missed by his loved ones, it is q
great consolation to them to know
that he has gone to that beautiful
home where his dear mother awaited
his coming. He lived Christian life
and set a noble example for his loved
ones to follow. Now he awaits on
that golden shore to welcome the
coming Of those he has left behind.

LAF OURCHE DAM SAFE,

Big Embankment Pronounced in Sat
isfactory Condition, After carefu
Examination by Levee Board OF,
ficiaIs-siphons to be Started
Shortly.
V. NJ, LeFebvre of West Baton
Rouge, president Of the Atchafalaya
Leyee Board; Capt. Victor Maurin of
Donaidsonville, president of the La
tourche Levee Board; Hon. Honore
Dugas of Assumption, member of the
Atchafalaya Board, and Major f. M.
Kerr, of New Orleans, member of
the State Board of Engineers, made
careful inspection last Wednesday
OF the dam at the head of Bayou La
fourche, cutting off that stream from
connection with the Mississippi river,
With view to ascertaining whether
the structure has been weakened to
any extent because of the water Seen
Ing through it at its base. Alarming
reports had been made to the leVee
board officials that the seepage
through the dam had been unusually
coplous since the beginning of the
present rise in the river, and some
apprehension was felt that the big
earthern barrier might be weaken
ing under the immense strain i'm
posed upon it. After a very careful
examination, however, Major Kerr
states positively that the seepage
this year is not any greater than in
former periods of high water, and
that the dam is as strong as it ever
was and capable of Withstanding a
much greater pressure than has yet
been thrown against it.
1t was announced by the levee
board officials that the battery of
slphons across the dam, whereby
fresh water is conveyed into the
bayou from the river, would be
placed in operation within the near |
future. The boiler in the pumping
plant on top of the dam is out of |
commission, and as soon as new
one has been installed the siphons
will be started.
