AN OLD RESIDENT COMES "HoME"

On Monday afternoon at half past
two o'clock, the mortal remains of
Mrs. Alice Elizabeth Thompson, widow
of John c. Lombard, were brought here
and laid away in Grace Cemetery. Her
death took place at her home near
Covington, La, Saturday, Sept. IL. She
had complained of not feeling well that
might, but insisted on her sons going
to bed, which he did, hearing nothing
further from her during the night. But
when she did not arise at her usual
hour, next morning, Mr.. Lombard, ON
going to her bedside, found that she
had been dead several hours. The end
seemed to have come peacefully from
a heart attack.
Mrs. Lombard was in her SEVENTEEN
year, and if we mistake not, was
native of West Feliciana, and had lived
here a part of her life. She became a
widow in 1872. but spent ten years Of
her married life and widowhood here.
Later she lived In Plaquemine and New
Orleans, and more recently in Coving-
ton. Her son, John Slack Lombard,
and her daughter, Lille, now Mrs.
Henry Britain of Atlanta, Ca, wer7
devoted to their mother, and were the
pride and comfort of her life Her
brother, Mr.. Albert Thompson, is a
prominent planter of Grant parish.
Her sister is Mrs. George Wilcox of
st. Francisville, and her occasional
visits here kept all the old ties of
kindred and friendship intact, so that
it was appropriate that she should be
brought back to the well-remembered
scenes and laid to rest beside her
mother and the husband of her youth.

1t is not often that two funerals take
place in the same day here, as was the
case Monday afternoon when Mrs
Lombard and Mrs. J. c. Ball were
buried in Grace Cemetery, both brought
as far as Slaughter, at least, on the
same train. Mrs. Lombard's funeral
had precedence by prior arrangements,
but many friends of both families never
left the church-yard between the two
services. The last time there were
two funerals in one day was that of
Mrs. Mary Tenney and little Mary
Forester.

ST. MATTHEW, 6:24.a4

| No man can serve two masters: for
either he will hate the one, and love the
other; or else he will hold to the one, and
| despise the other. Ye cannot serve God
and mammon.
Therefore | say unto you, Take no
thought for your life what We shall eat, or
what We shall drink; nor yet for your
body, what We shall put on Is not the
life more than meat and the body than
raiment?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they
sow not, neither do they reap. nor gather
into barns; yet your heavenly Father
feedeth them, Are We not much better
than they?
Which of you by taking thought can
add one cubit unto his stature?
And why take We thought for raiment?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they
grow; they toll not, neither do they spin:
And yet l say unto you, That even Sol
oman in ali his glory was not arrayed like
one Of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of
the field, which to-day is, and tomorrow
is cast into the oven, shall he not much
more clothe you, o We of little faith?
Therefore take no thought saying, What
shall we eat? or, What shall we drink?
Or Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Cen
tiles seek:) for your heavenly Father
knoweth that We have need of all these
things.
But seek We first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you
Take therefore no thought for the
morrow: for the morrow shall take
thought for the things of itself. Sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof.
