MRS. CLEOPHA RENOIT.

News of the sudden death of Mrs.
Cleopha Benoit, which occurred Tues
day night at 9:15 o'clock, came as a
severe shock to the entire commUn-
itv. Although Mrs. Benoit had suf-
fered considerable at times since IN

lively good health up until the day
Of her death. Monday she was out

was not considered alarming until

Eroussard, she was born at Lacassine,
near what is now Hayes, in old Cal
casieu parish, in the month of Au-
gust, 1859. She would have been SO
years old on the 18th day of August
of this year. She was the only
daughter of the above union. Of
her three brothers, Dulva Derouen is
the only one surviving. She is also
survived by her husband, three sons,
Messrs. Aristile, Simeon and Dulva
Benoit and two daughters, Mrs. W.
E. Byerly, now resident of Stuttgart,
Ark, and Miss Amy Benoit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Benoit passed theiI
fortieth wedding anniversary on the
| 4th of last January.
Mrs. Benoit had many traits o.
character that endeared her to those
who had the pleasure of her &C
Quaintance. Among them her great
love for the members Of her family;
keen interest in the welfare Of her
friends and neighbors. She was at

Sour Stomach.

This is mild form of Indigestion.
1t is usually brought on by eating
too rapidly or too much, or of food
not suited to your digestive organs.
If you will eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly, eat but little meat
and none at all for supper, you will
more than likely avoid the sour
stomach without taking any medicine
whatever. When you have sour stom-
ach take one of Chamberlain's Tab
lets to aid digestion.
