A Tribute to the Dead.

In a recent issue Of the Shreveport
Times appeared the following tribute to
the late DR.. w. L. Dickson of Shreve-
port, written by Mr.. H. H. Huckabay Of
the Vivian Mercantile Company of Wv
ian. DR.. Dickson must indeed have been
we'll liked and much admired by his
friend Mr.. Huckabay and his life's
record appearing very exemplary to
have such commendable things said in
his priase both before and after death.
He was indeed a genial, good fe)low-a
worthy friend-of honorable department
and possessed many other admirable
traits. We knew him as such. Mr.
Hackabay's eulogy follows:
ssIn the death of Dr.. Will Dickson oil
your city, North Louisiana loses one Of
its very best and most useful citizens
Truly, it can be said of him that he wal
one of Natures Noblemen. He was a.
kind and gentle as woman; generous
and loyable in his dispositions mai

years OF age. He was for many years
resident of this parish.
Mr.. Boney was man of wide ac-
quaintance, and wherever known was
loved and respected. He lived his life
free from hypocrisy or deceit. He was
a friend to humanity, kind-hearted and
generous.
He was man who loved his family.
He loved home and in it was as kind and
gentle as woman-a devoted husband
and benign, indulgent father.
He got his education in the hard school
of experience. Without the advantages
of even a common school education, he
entered upon life's struggle, and during
the greater part Of his life was sue
cessful merchant and planter.
During later years he encountered
many reverses, but unflinchingly met
them and undaunted he arose to begin
life's battles anew. An optimist he was
in the fullest sense OF the word. Hard
ships only served to strengthen his de-
termination, and the writer has never
seen him for long at a lime that he did
not see a smile on his face or hear him
utter words OF hope and cheer.
Mr.. Boney is survived by his wife
(whose maiden name was Louda Gilmer)
a grown daughter-Miss Gertrude-twc
| young sons-Gaston and Jack-twc
brothers-Mr. Dick Boney of Shreveport
and Mr.. Lacy Boney Of Gahagan-and
two sisters-Mrs. Williams and Mrs
Landrum, both of Shreveport.
When his friends could see so much
good in him and feel his death SO deeply
how sad must be the loss to those lovet
ones whose welfare was his sole aim il
life. To them the writer, joined by
numerous other friends, extends ten.
derest sympathy and feels that the all
merciful God who has seen fit to sepa
rate them will one day allow them ;
happy reunion where troubles and worr!
do not exist. J.W.
