Mr.. Francois Charpiat, one of

of franklin, died at his residence
On last Monday at the age of 80
years. He was native of France,
but came to this country and
made Franklin his home in the
year Of 1858. Here he outlived his
generation; for there is scarcely
one living here now who had
reached manhood when Mr.. Char
plat landed in Franklin. He was
% honest, industrious and thrifty
citizen. and during all the years
Of HE long life held the good. will
Of oil his fellow.citizens.

session on last Wednesday. It
being the final stated meeting Of
that body this year, there was q
great deal of regular business
transacted. A delegation of Flo.
rian Cornay Camp of United Con.
federate Veterans, appeared be.
fore the Police Jury and asked
that it assist in the erection of a
monument to be placed on the
court house square in memory of
the Confederate soldiers who en-.
listed from this parish and fought
in the war of 1861.65. The dele.
CATION asked for an appropriation
of fifteen hundred dollars, payable
in four equal annual installments
for four years. The veterans were
treated with the utmost courtesy
and consideration by the mem
bers of the police jury. Capt. R.
w. Allen, commander of the 10.
cal camp, presented the request
and with tender pathos referred to
the faithful record of his comrades
who had passed over the river of
Death, and to whose memory they,
with the other citizens of St.
Mary, are trying to erect a suit
able testimonial on marble. Then
Clerk of Court w. H. Kramer in
an intelligent statement explained
in every detail to the jury the
cost and manner proposed to pay
for the monument, and made an
urgent appeal to the jury to adopt
resolution appropriating the
amount asked for by the veterans.
The police jury after discussing
the matter properly, calmly and
fairly with a view, if possible, to
favor the proposition, concluded
that their obligations would not
permit them as public officers to
adopt the resolution as written.
Mr.. c. N. Frost, president of the
police jury, explained clearly and
fairly why they could not grant
the request-why their sense of
duty forbade them from antici.
ting their revenues SO far ahead
for SO large an amount. The
veterans present appreciated the
good feeling expressed by Mr..
Frost and recognized the force of
his remarks. After the resolution
was lost President Frost stated
that he thought the police jury
should make as liberal a donation
as their means would permit to
the Confederate monument, and
suggested that some member of
that body offer a motion to that
effect. Mr.. Jno. r. Drackett then
moved that the police jury donate
five hundred dollars for that. pur-
pose. The motion was unani-
mously adopted. The veterans
thanked the president and the
members of the police jury for
their generous and satisfactory
action.
