LEONCE F. L.ASTRA PES.

Died at his farm near town, on
the evening OF the 18th inst,
the cortege leaving the resi-
dence Of his nephew, Sidney L.
Hebrard, Esq. on Tuesday the
17th.
Mr.. Lastrapes was aged SIS
years and 9 months, and was q
scion Of an old and respected
family Of this parish. His daugh-
tiers, Mrs. (Dr. v. K. Iron and
Mrs. (Dr. Dusen, came from
their respective homes in New
Orleans and Texas, to attend the
funeral. In his youth it has
been said by competent judges
that poor Leonce was the hand
soonest man in Louisiana, and
time and trouble had not fully
efaced the lineaments of former
beauty as he lay stretched on his
last bed. let us hope in peace.
His was a gentle nature,
courteous, cultured and refined.
Whatever faults he may have
possessed were fully attoned for
by years Of despair and rayless
hope. If his dumb mouth could
speak, 'tWonld doubtless say:
But now the Arbitrator of
despairs,
Just death, kind umpire Of
man s nliseries,
With sweet enlargement doth
disrnisss me hence. "
And those of his lifelong
friends, who really liked the man
and realized that he possessed a
knightly heart could we'll ex-
claim:
Vex not his ghost: oh! let him
pass!
He hates him, that would
upon the rock of this
rough world
Stretch him out longer. !"
Peace TO his to ashes!
The grave buries every error,
covers every defect, extinguishes
every resentment. From it's
peaceful bosom spring none but
fond regrets and tender receol-
lections.
Farewell! old friend. peace to
your ashes.

THREE KIDNAP SUS
HCT BROUGHT HERE
Evidence Points to be Kfdnap-
pers Of Robert Dunbar

Three prisoners, with strong
evidences to believe that they
| are the kidnapers of young
Robert Dunbar, were brought
here the early part of the week.
Edgar Hooks was brought here
from New Orleans Sunday, and
two Marshalls, Robert and ,Jo-
seph, were brought here from
Baton Rouge Monday. Although
|unabled to be identified BY De
putty Preston King, Mr.. Charles
Thibodaux declares he saw Jo-
seph Marshall on the railroad
while the search for the missing
child was on.
Nothing has been discovered to
give any hope of finding the
child, although there is enough
evidence that the prisoners under
arrest, the Marshalls particularly,
has taken q hand in the kid
naping.
Sheriff Sword and Mr.. G. =.
Dunbar, father Of the child, left
Wednesday morning for Mobile
in response to q message received
Monday night from the author
tiles of that place. Another
man declared to Be complicated
in the kidnapping Of the lad il
held in custody, which viii no
dout bring an end to the long
chase. This is the latest news
obtainable since the the prisoners
have been placed IN the parish
prison here. Up to late hour
last night no news of the Sheriff
or Mr.. Dunbar has beenreported.

had the privilege OF knowing him.
Gut down in the very flower o1
a glorious manhood, aged 81
years, 5 months and Is days, one
well may ask, Why are such sac
rifices necessary? to which the
only reply that can be made is:
It is the will of the Lord.
The death of such a young
man, good friend, devoted broth
er, honest citizen, carries with it
the lesson the good Father Eng
berink so many times in the past
and SO frequently of late has
sought to emphasize in his fun
eral sermons, that Death
cometh like q thief in the night;
that no age is spared; that all
should be prepared for the dread
summons. The death of Raphael
accentuates his good traits and
his memory will be an inspira-
ton to the living; in the words
of in eloquent writer: The
moralist warns us that life is but
the ante-chamber of death, that
as on the first day of life the foot.
is planted on the lowest of a
range of steps, which man scales
painfully, only to arrive at the.
altar of corporeal death. The
chemist comes to proclaim that
from infancy to old age, the
quantity of earthly matter con-
tinuously increases. Earth as
serts her supremacy more and
more and calls us more loudly to
the dust. In the end a higher
will imposes, the bond of union
is unloosed, the immortal soul
wings its fight upward to the
giver Of all being. Earth claims
its own, and a little heap Of ashes
returns to the dust, It was a |
man. It is now dust. Our ashes
are scattered abroad to the winds
over the surface of the earth. |
But the dust is not inactive. I'll
rises to walk the earth again;
to aid in peopling the
globe with fresh forms Of beauty, |
to assist in the performance of |
the vital processes Of the uni
verse to take apart in the world |
life. In this sense the words Of |
Goethe are strictly applicable:
Death is the parent of life. "

for this building. Another fea-
| ture which deferred some con-
tractors from bidding was their
inability to take care of, or carry
the twelve thousand dollars of
Certificates of Indebtedness,
which it was proposed to issue in
order to provide sufficient funds
for the erection of this reinforced
concrete fire. proof building.
Another charge that Mr.. Thib-
odeau makes against me is that
It seems to me that he is rum
ming or trying to run several de-
partments outside OF his own. =
With reference to this charge, !
will say that Mr.. Thibodeau is
greatly mistaken in his surmise,
and I challenge him to name any
business, outside of my official
business, that am engaged IN.
The rest of his statements are
of no Importance whatever, and
on account of the length of this
communication, I will pass them
over.
In conclusion, ] will say to the
taxpayers that I have conseien-
tiously and assiduously performed
my duty as Superintendent of
the Public Schools, according to
law and what considered best,
under the circumstances, for the
welfare of the public schools of
this parish. I have had con-
stantly before me for realization
the establishment of an ideal
school system, and / have spared
no effort to bring such about, as
far as my capacity and the limit
ed means at my disposal would
permit. love children and re-
gard the children as the greatest
asset of this country, and think
that every reasonable sacrifice
should be made that will rebound
to their betterment. The child
ren of to-day are to be the c1tI-
zens of tomorrow, and the only
hope for the perpetuation of re-
publican institutions is to SO ed
ucate the child as to make good
citizen of him. Place before him
lofty ideals for accomplishment.

Manou Growing Rapidly

Since our last visit Is Marnou
in the spring considerable inn
provements have been added and
the town painted but not red,
however.
The bank building then under
construction has been completed
and in operation all the Fall and
has proven an Indispensable as
set to the community. Large
crops Of rice and cotton have put
considerable money in circulation
and all the merchants are doing
d big business.
Many new and handsome resi-
.dences have been built and al
most every week some one buys
either a business or resident
lot. We were informed that Mr..
Theogene Reed, d leading mer-
chant of Eunice, who has been
conducting a mercantile busi-
ness there for the past year, has
purchased a couple Of lots on
Main Street and will erect d
large store building thereon
right away.
On the opposite side Of the
street from Mr. Reed another
large store will be built for Mr..
Euclide Landreneau.
At the time we were there over
a week ago, 2766 bales Of cotton
had been gfnned.
The citizens claim d population
|of 1, 900 for their town and from
appearances this is d correct
estimate.
Their progressive and hOspit-
able spirit has been and viii con-
tinue to be among the principal
causes for the rapid growth of
the town, and there isno getting
around the fact Manous 3 growth
in the future will be as phenoTn-
inal as that Of the past, which
will soon make her Eyangeline' s.

Such an outing was proposed to
the Senior boys by their fellow
student, Doc" Obier and was
accepted.
Accordingly on last Friday
night the boys landed at Docs"
and proceeded to the woods.
Owing to the fact that there was
only one light among them. those
in the rear had many hard falls
as they hurried along the rough
paths, sometimes stumbling oyer

intense darkness.
In spite of their hardships they
were successful in killing five
possums. They returned home
