JAMES LAFAYETTE PHILLIPS.

A man we'll known throughout
this parish was Judge James l.. Phil
lips, of Vaudeville, La, who died
recently in New Orleans, from an in
Jury received in an accident.
Judge Phillips was a native of
Ocean Springs, Miss, having been
born there October IT, 1843, but
resident of St. Tammany parish since
1864-more than half century.
Since he lived a great part of this
time in Vaudeville he was a familiar
figure to all who live there.
He was Confederate veteran, hav-
ing served in the Civil War when a
young man. On his return from the
war was married to Miss Catherine
Birch, who preceded him to his final
resting place six years ago.
Mr.. Phillips spent a very active
life, even to within a short time OF
his death. Most of his attention
was paid to farming and cattle rails
ing, at which he was successful. For
many years he was Justice of the
Peace at Vaudeville. On any ques-
ton of Importance was always known
to be accurate in his decisions.
His death was caused by an in
Jury received in an automobile az
cident in New Orleans, being severely
bruised it was necessary to amputate
his leg. The operation was perform
ed in Touro Infirmary, Where he re-
NAMED for eleven weeks, enduring
untold suffering from which he was
released on January Fl, 1919. His
body was brought over to Vaudeville
and buried in the family burial lot
ct Chinchuba, La, on January %.
He is survived by one brother,
Zach Phillips, of Lacombe, La, and
six daughters, Mrs. H. Wenzel, of
New Orleans; Mrs. w. T. Loomis, of
ST. Adams, VT; Mrs. E. E. Sharp,
of Covington; Mrs. A. B. Spangler,
of Houston, Tex; Mrs. c. W. Owens.
of Shreveport; Mrs. ]. Sambola, New
Orleans; three sons, J. R. Phillips,
Vaudeville; S. F. Phillips, Lacombe,
and G. E. Phillips, Beaumont, Texas;
thirty-seven grand children, one
great grand child, and host Of
friends who mourn his loss.

O'Clock last evening, and within
few minutes the place was filled with
smoke.
The fire department turned out
and soon had two streams of water
pouring into the basement, while
willing. hands quickly cleared the
store Of considerable equipment and
stock.
The basement was not badly dam
aged, but the blaze was hard to get
at, owing to. it's location, and the
basement of The Pioneer was flooded.
Opened at both ends, the store was
quickly cleared of smoke and looked
little the worse for the occurance.
