truth of situation that is menacing

is no use in binding the fact that the |
southern democracy is in the saddle |
and Is riding like the devil in a fierce |

JNO. D. WALLET.

The community was greatly
shocked on Tuesday afternoon by
the announcement of the death of
Mr.. Jno. ID. Valet, of Loreauyllle.
There were very few who had
heard of his illness. He was tax
en- violently Ill on Thursday of
last week. DR.. Valet, of New
Orleans, his cousin, was called in
consultation and he diagnosed his
trouble appendicitis, and advis ed
an immediate operation. Accord
iDgly, he was taken to New Or
leans on Sunday. His condition
was such that the physicians
would not undertake the operation
just then, and the end came on
Tuesday.
Mr.. Valet was 43 years old and
was prominent figure in the
merchandising, planting and poll.
tical spheres of this parish. He
was one Of the leading merchants
of the Fausse Pointe section, with
many years experience through
the most trying conditions the
country has known AS a planter
he was well acquainted with prac
tically every i'll, handicap and
misfortune which could possibly
beset the hopes of farmer, from
adverse reasons to adverse Da-
tional legislation. AS a political
leader he was conservative and
equitable in all judgments, but
was energetic, forcefnI and az.
gressive. He was a leader by ma
ture and men seemed confident in
following him that success would
be theirs.
He leaves a widow and three
children to mourn their great IN.
timely loss. His wife is a daugh
ter Of Mr.. Adrien Gonsoulin, of
Loreauville, and his brother, Prof
Louis A. Valet, If parish superin-
tendent of public education.
His remains were received on
Tuesday nights train, just after
midnight, and were taken out to
his home. The funeral took place
on Wednesday afternoon from ST.
Josephs Catholic Church at Lo-
reauville. A number of gentle
men from this city were among the
great number who we're In attend

Here's truth as old as the oldest
book
And truth as young as today:
TITS better to say something good of o
man,
Or else have nothing to say.
For the gall you fling and the slurs
you sling
May sully fair renown,
But you'll never 20 up ON the ladder
of life
By running your neighbor down.
If a name is bad you can make IL
worse,
But what will It profit you?
II a name is pure as the driven snow
You may soil it a little, too.
But the cross you lay In your brothers
way
Won't help you to win the crown.
For you'll never go up on the ladder
of life
By running your neighbor down.
You may frame your speech in the
deftest style
That's known in the gossiping art
But the world will know that the
words you speak
Are the words of an envious heart;
You may win Its smile for little
while,
But the smile will turn to a frown,
For you'll never 60 up on the ladder
Of life
By running your neighbor down.
