Grant parish and the Paramount com
munity has suffered a severe loss in
the passing of Clara Price Dean. She
was born in Rapides parish near Pine.
vile, La. Jan. 26. 1856, and departed
this life at Paramount June Is, 1915.
Her early life was spent in this parish.
While child she united with the Meth
odist Episcopal Church South, and has
been faithful and consistent member
during all these years.
She was united in marriage in the
year 1875 to Albert Allen Dean, one of
the most prosperous citizens of this
parish. From this union ten children
were born. Three of these have pass
ed into the beyond. while five devoted
sons and two affectionate daughters
survive her. Each one of these chill
dren having been upheld and given
wise counsel by this consecrated and
consistent Christian mother have sue
ceeded well in life. The hearts of the
people Of this parish unite as one, to
offer sympathy to this broken hearted
father whose very soul was entwined
about the calm and beautiful life of
his loving companion.
Amidst the cares and perplexites of
life she was as calm and peaceful as
the gentle brook. which flows on with
its rhythmic music to the great sea.
Having performed her life's work well
she was prepared to depart. During
her last days she experienced such a
mellowing and ripening of spirit. that
even in her dreams she thought of
heavenly things and thought she stood
in church and sang Come Ye That
Love the Lord and Let Your Joys Be
Known" For her beloved companions
sake we take the liberty to revise his
favorite verse:
For her our tears shall fall,
To her God our prayers ascend,
Ever in memory we will hold her dear
Till tolls and cares shall end.

ROAD OFFICIAL TEs1lFlEs.
Vice President Of Atlantic Line Says
Profit Is lmpossible.

Des Noines, July 27.-When the state
railroad commission inquiry into the
affairs Of the Atlantic Southern Rail-
road Company was resumed today,
DeRoo Weber, vice president Of the
company, was to take the stand. The
road has not been in operation since
the first of the year, and testimony at
the frs. session of the hearing yes
terday afternoon tended to support the
states contention that the new COM
pany did not operate the road in the
proper manner.
Weber was expected to testify that
the road can not be operated profit
ably.
His company bought the southern
section of what originally was the At
lantic North and South road at the
receivers sale last year, at which time
the northern section was sold to an
other concern.
William Osborne, formerly superin-
tendent of the original Atlantic North
and South road. told the commission
yesterday afternoon that the road was
doing well up to the time operation
stopped, but that the new company
had made no improvements. E. Craw-
ford, Of Atlantic, said the road had
been doing good business before it
was turned over to the new company.
