The death of Mr. Z. B Williams
occurred last Thursday afternoon
after an illness that lasted nearly
three years from the effects of a
paraly tic stroke. from which many a
younger man would have succumbed
long before. Mr.. Williams was born
in Alabama in 1929, but in his early
manhood moved to Louisiana settling
first in Union parish where he lived
only a few years, then moved to
Winfield where he was prominent in
public and business affairs. for many
years having been parish recorder a.
treasurer for several terms and :re-
presented that parish in the Constitu-
tional Convention of 1879.
During the reconstruction peEiod
Mr.. Williams took an active nart
doing much for the redemption of the
South. and his personal experiences
and "reminiscences would fill MOST
interesting book. He had many inter-
ests not only in this but in adjourhing
parishes and was not only one of the
largest planters but real estate owners
in North Louisiana "Mr. Rich' as
everybody knew him was a wonder
fully active man, as up to the time
of his illness he personally, supervised
his many business interests and
though in his eighties, he was in the
saddle early and late and could ac-
complish more hard work in day,
than many one half of his years.
His was a kind and benevolent
nature, one that was interested in
tht welfare of his fellow men, land
the esteem in which he was held was
testified to by constant attention that
was shown him tn ough his long ILL.,

that followed the remains to their
last resting place in the American

The news that on Thursday last
the New Orleans Academy OF
Sciences met and reorganized after
the lapse of almost quarter of q
century is noteworthy. This or
ganization is one of the oldest OF
the sort in this part of the coun-
try, and was once we'll known in
scientific circles. Organized about
1850, it was fourishing center OF
scientific activity for about ten
years, until the civil war put q
peremptory stop to everything oil
that sort in the South. 1t was not
until 1880 that the scientists were
able to revive the association, but
in the next ten years it was again
active, publishing a number of i'm.
portant bulletins, for among its
members were DR.. Joseph Jones
DR.. Joor, MIR. Kruttschnitt and
other enthusiastic students in the
natural sciences.
Again it became moribund after
1889, for so maLy years that few
realized that it still existed. -Four
of the members, however, met
last week at the call of the presi-
dent, DR.. Brandt Won Blarcom
Dixon and reorganizing, chose
new officers and committees. The
growth of Tulane University, with
its chronological and medical de
partments and the new School of
Tropical Medicine, and of Mar
quette University, with its new
Medical Department and its seis-
biological observatory, make this
an excellent time to revive an asso-
ciatlon which will enable all the
workers in these various lines to
meet on the common ground of
their interest in natural sciences
and the study of natural laws. 1t
IS significant of the broad intellec-
tual foundations on which the new
organization is to be based, that

Natchituches horses did themselves
proud at the State Fair last week In
carrying off honors thick and fast.
Birdie Grey the beautiful young mare
of DR. Harrington's won not only the
first prize but the ChampiC nship for
being the best combination saddle
and driving horse in the female class
while Bohemian Lad, the magnificent
stallion of Dr.. keator, carried off the
highest honors in his class.
A little incident in connection with
Birdie Grey is worthy of mention as
it shows the wonderful intelligence of
the animal that was SO human like
that it excited the applauding atten-
ton of a great many. This little
mare is family pet and has received
much notice from Mrs. Harrington
whose twin sister Mrs. Clemnons Of
Minden is strikingly like her, and
while Mrs. Clemnon was in attend
ance at the Fair, she happened to
pass stall when the friendly neigh
ing of a horse attracted her attention
and the antics when she stopped, in
duced her to fondle the animal who
could hardly contain herself for JOY
as she thought she recognized her
mistress Upon inquiry Mrs. Glenn
mons learned her name and then
knew whose horse it was, though she
did not know that it was to be in
Shreveport. Birdie Grey will be a
greater pet than ever for the Won
derful intelligence she displayed in
recognizing this family resemblance
in that great crowd, in such a great
rush.

One OF the best features that the

the headliner for the first half Of this

party of clever young girls and one
young man, and their act is filled
with plenty of singing and funny stu
atoms and nice scenery. In the act is
introduced Raymond Paine and Miss
Hazel Mckee, two clever vaudeville
people, who have plenty to do. It is a
cleyerly arranged musical melange.
Miss Virginia Richards has another
new novelty song which she renders
very well and makes a hit at each per-

well pleased and responded to several

pleased with these three from the cell

opens and closes with Professor Co.'S
