One of the saddest incidents that has
ever occurred to cast vail of gloom over
Our community happened this week,
when two lovely young school girls we're
suddenly ushered into eternity by drown

Miss Margaret Barker and Miss Clara
Poe, who with Miss Cora and Miss Alma
NARROW were wading in Phelps Bayou
when all four suddenly fell into a deep
hole made by the recent high water. The
two NARROW girls being just behind Miss
Barker and Miss Poe, succeeded, after
after heroic effort, in getting out of the
hole, but the two girls ahead sank to the
bottom. The Misses NARROW Immediately
sounded the alarm and assistance soon
rushed to the scene and men dived into
the fatal spot and quickly gathered up
the postrate forms, Mr.. G. L. Clark bring
ing out Miss Barker and Edward Buckner
and Bob Middleton recovering Miss Poe.
! Medical attention were given the drowned
girls at once on the bank Of the bayou
and everything possible was done to re-
sussitate life, but in vain, the vital spark
had fled, and two young and beautiful
souls had returned to their Maker.
The sympathy Of our entire parish goes
unstintedly to the grief-stricken one swith
the prayerful hope that they may find
comfort in the blessed thought that "He
doeth all things WE'LL"
