In Memory of Mrs. Ada Harrison.

The New Year is not happy one to
DIR. T. j. Harrison and his children this
year, for on Dec 80. 1918, Death enter
ed their home and claimed Mrs. Harri-
son.
Miss Ada, as she was known, was
taken away while she was wonderfully
young at heart, though comparatively
old in years. She was Miss Payne,
of Natchitoches, before marrying DIR.
Harrison and coming to Montgomery
to reside, having lived here many years
before her death. Montgomery in los
ing Mrs. Harrison. not only lost one of
its first citizens, but lost one of its
best, both socially and religiously, and
though years may sIretch their weary
lengths between, still her memory will
be held dear in many heart, and often
will we who are left wish that our ex-
ample might be as beautiful and our
lives as unselfish as hers. Mrs. Har-
rison, in spite of the untold pain that
she suffered months before her death,
stood bravely and endured it all with
out murmur. In fact, she was so
patient that the end came rather unex-
pectedly to every one. She had quietly
led her life, living it mostly for the
happiness of others, and just as quietly
did she lay it down and enter life SC
much greater the life eternal!
Her remains were laid away in the
family section of the Montgomery
cemetery. The weary bones rest where
so often she has gone to take flowers
to the graves of her loved ones. Sc
many times has she gone alone. enter.
ed the solitude of the Garden of the
Dead, and. breathing prayer to God,
placed the sweetest of his flowers to
wave over the graves of dear ones.
Now she sleeps in body, but lives in
soul with those kindred souls and awaits
the coming of the ones left here to
mourn her loss. God, in his goodness
left her long time, fifty eight years,
with US, then took her back to himself,
thus giving her the reward that she
constantly worked to obtain.
Rev. Father Lambertz, of Colfax,
held the funeral services after the or.
der of her faith, after which the re.
mains were put in their resting place.
She has crossed the Great Divide
Why should we be sad when we know
that loving Savior with outstretched
arms received her, and that he prom
Uses US that same eternal joy?
She leaves two daughters and three
sons besides her husband, all of whom
mourn her loss greatly. A host OF
friends extend all the sympathy of hui
man hearts to those folks at home ano
to that noble son in France. Some
time may they stand reunited in the
light of a perfect day.

Grant Parish Road Bonds Bring Big
Premium.

The proceedings of the police jury IN
the Chronicle this week will be- found
of universal interest. The long defer
ed sale of our road bonds has been
contaminated and all necessary ar
engagements made by the board Tor the
State to take over operations on the
jefferson Highway, and the money is
ready to start to work on the short lat
eral roads.
At the meeting this week President
Brownlee opened the bids for the sale
of the second SIS, 900 worth of the bonds
voted by this parish for the building of
the Jefferson Highway. The highest
bid was made by w. l.. Slayton 4 Co,
of Toledo, o.. $50, $50, and accrued in
terest from January l, 1919, beng the
amount of their Did for the S75, coo is
sue. This is the second sale of Grant
parish bonds made at the same hand
some premium to these same people in
about SO days, and the two sales give
the parish the sum of $l6l, 800 TO be-
gin work on roads.
The police jury also adopted a reso-
luton accepting the offer of the state
highway department. to aoportion Grant
parish $50, 900 from state and federal
funds available for 1919 and $50, 600
available from the funds of 1920 This
additional 100000 gives Grant parish
approximately $26l. 500 in hand for
road construction.
The police jury by ordinance mas
provided a maintenance fund of sever
al thousand dollars year, which puts
the parish in line with the state and
federal requirement of a maintenance
fund that must be provided for all
roads constructed under government
supervision. This maintenance fund
is specially stressed by State Engineer
Duncan Buie in all contracts and agree
ments which are let by his department
The outlook is therefore bright for
work to begin on the jefferson High
way in Grant parish at an early day
and the thirty-three miles through this
parish will be pushed to completion
without material interruption.
