We are deeply panied to learn of

this parish. Mrs. Sistrunk died
about two weeks ago at her home at
Jackson, Miss. She was truly a good
woman and kind and noble mother
and sincere Christian. She has WIS.,
tied her sons in Tensas parish on
several occasions and is remembered
by many of our people. To her two
sons and daughter, Miss Carrie Sis
trunk, their many friends here ex-

We are greatly pleased to an
nounce that the condition of Master

suffered such severe attack of dyp-
iberia the past week as to cause
grave alarm, is now so much i'm
proved that his recovery is assured
and he will soon be able to get up.
This is indeed gratifying to the
many friends of the little man, who
is universally popular with all &C
quaintances. and the devoted and
anxious household and attending
physicians have been the recipients
of much fluctuations from our peo-
pie upon the recovery of the little
patient.
