cutive Committee of the Louisiana Bar

fore the convention this year. The subject
has been divided into five sections and
as many speakers will read papers COW

the usual Association banquet at one OF
the noted restaurants OF New Orleans, a
reception at the Country Club, automo-
bile rides and other special features.
Hotel headquarters will be established
and provision made for the proper care
of the visitors.
AZ this is the first time New 0rlean,

ance from the country will be exception
ally large.

toners. They have one of the larg-
est and most select stocks of shoes

The very sad and sudden death OF
Raoul Elgutter, second son of Mr.. Leo
pold Elgutter, OF Newellton, after an i'll
ness of less than twenty-four hours,
came as thunder-bolt to his friends
every where in this parish. Raoul was a
very bright boy and universally popular
and gave promise of making a splendid
man, and his premature taking, almost
at the threshold of young manhood, is
a blow that his father especially will feel
with anguish of disappointed hope that
none save he can fully appreciate. The
Natchez Democrat gives the following
account of the DEATH,
Raoul Elgutter, aged l6, died at the
home of his father, Mr.. Leopold Elgutter,
Of Newellton. La, yesterday at 2:30 p.
M, following brief illness. The body
will be brought to Natchez Sunday,
the funeral to be conducted from Foster
Undertaking Parlors upon the arrival OF
the train about 1890 p. m.
News OF the death of Mr.. Elgutter will
be received with the deepest regret by his
friends throughout this section. The
young man was taken i'll Thursday but
lis condition did not become alarming
until yesterday morning. A congestive
hill yesterday afternoon hastened the
nd in spite Of the efforts of skill physi-
clans.
Besides his father, the deceased is sur
vived by two sisters and three brothers,
his mother dying some years ago.
The sisters: Mrs. Ed E. Morris and
Miss Rosa Elgutter; the brothers, Mich
ael and Gus.
