TH OF JOSEPH VACcARo'

Il Joseph Vaccaro died in the Odd
Fellows Home, at Crowley, on last
Friday afternoon, and interment was
made at that place.
I Coming to this country when
mere lad, Mr.. Vaccaro lived in Varl-
Gus portions of the South until 1897,
when he moved to West Felic1aha
Parish and made this place his nome
most of the time until about two
years before his death. He took
out naturalization papers in st. Fran
Icisville and cast his first vote FOR
president buchanan.
At the outbreak Of the war between
the states, Mr. Vaccaro enlisted IN
Capt, Tooraen's company Of infantry
from West Feliciana and served sew
crab years with distinction. He only
consented to quit fighting when he
had become so badly wounded that ne
was unable to follow the march.
Mr.. Vaccaro was a carpenter ana
builder and the skill with which ne
followed these avocations is remem-
bered by most Of us here.
In 1902, after having become OH
and gray, Mr.. Vaccaro decided he
would return to his native home IN
Italy and spend his declining years
amidst his boyhood environments AT
irving there he found he had grown
awav from the old thoughts ana
ideas, and that he was stranger III
/ 2 strange land He remained there
a short time and returned to Bayou
Sara. About two years ago, having
no close relatives to look after NH
in his declining years, he decided
to enter the newly completed Od'
Fellows Home at Crowley. He was

Since living in Crowley Mr.. Vac

Many years ago in San Francisco
there was bookseller who had an in
innate knowledge of fiction prices, but
who was all astray when 1t came to
general literature or scientific works
A customer having selected a volume
would ask the price and, without 80
much as bothering to look at the title,
If he saw that 1t was not a novel,
the seller would roughly weigh 1t on
his hand and name the sum. Many
bargain was picked up in that way,
but as the bookseller also bought on
the same principle, he never lost any
thing to speak of.-San Francisco
