A Splendid Example.

Supt. E. A. Thbodeaux and the
efficient crew of employees Of the
municipal power plant are to be con
graduated upon the attractive ap-
pearance of the grounds in front
of that institution, in Mississippi
street. Due to their energy and
public spirit, the sward is kept close
~ moved Oh the neutral strips along
the sidewalk and in the center OF
the street paving, and the flowers
and shrubs planted in the latter
space are well cared for and in a
flourishing condition. The little plot
is one of the brightest and neatest
in the city, and forms a most inVit-
ing foreground for the handsome pow
er plant, which is itself kept as neat
and shining as new pin. All the
travelling statesmen for electrical ap-
pliance and machinery companies who
come to Donaldsonville, as well as
various experts who have inspected
the local plant, pronounce it to be
one Of the most serviceably design
ed and best conducted they have
seen, and as the equipment is Of
the most modern type throughout,
it can be seen that Donaldsonville
has full reason to be proud of
this well-managed and up-to-date pub
lie utility and the efficient corps of
employees in charge thereof. The
latter is composed of E. A. Thlbo-
deaux, superintendent; Ward Poche,

Death of Mrs. George {. Bent.

The sorrowful tidings that came
from the home Of Mrs. Glenn. Bin
nings Tuesday morning, that hel
daughter, Mrs Ge orge E. Bent, hae
passed away at sos o'clock, filled the
hearts OF the entire community With
| deepest sorrow and brought desola
ton to the many friends OF the pop
ular and lovable young woman
While her health had bt en- in q
)recarious condition for some time
past, there was not the least pre-
monitiOn that the end was so near,
and in fact she was up and about
until Sunday, when she was attack
ed with the spell which resulted in
her death. Blessed Inconsistencies
shielded her from all knowledge of
the final scene in the tragedy CT
life, the transition from this world
into the realms of eternal bliss being
peaceful and painless, with loving
forms grouped about her bedside tc
bid her last farewell.
Mrs Bent was tWenty-three years,
seven months and nine days of age.
AS Lille Binnings she was one of
The community's fairest and most at
tractive young women, universally
beloved and admired for her many
charms of person and sweetness Of
disposition Why one so youthful
and gifted, Oh the very Threshold
of buoyant life, should be called from
those who loved her is one of the
inscrutable dispensations of Provi-
denee which rends the heart, but al
CO Il +1ro@
is brighter world to which her gen
tie soil has been removed.
The last services were held at the
Episcopal church at 8 o'clock We'd
nesday forenoon, with Rev. r. Fl.
Prosser officiating, and were beau
tifulin their simplicity and i'm
pressiveness. The sacred edifice was
filled with friends and neighbors who
came to express their appreciation
of the beautiful life that had been
taken from among them and their
deepest sympathy for the loved ones
SO bereft. Her last resting place in
the Protestant cemetery was embow-
cred in fragrant floral emblems Of
every hue, which bespoke in their
own beautiful way the profound
grief caused by her untimely death
and the profundity of the sympathy
felt by the whole community for the
sorroWing family.
Deceased was married about two
years ago to George E. Bent, now
employed as travelling representative
Of the Tioga Gravel Company of
who survives her, togeth-
er with an infant son, one year old.
Others left to mourn her loss are her
devoted mother, five brothers, Glen.
New Iberia, Earl and Her
bert Binnings of Alexandria, and Ro
land and Wi1fred Binnings, Of this
city, and a half-sister, Mrs. Thos.
Jeffrey, of Alexandria. To these,
who have suffered a grief SO weighty
and overpowering. The Chief ex-
presses its profound sorrow and ten
ders it's warmest sympathies. Time
alone can mitigate the poignancy of
such a loss.
