Anniversary Celebration.

A shower is always enjoyed,
but one that comes like clap of
thunder out of clear sky, like
the grocery shower with which
its friends celebrated the first an
niversary of the opening of the
Sanitarium last Wednesday, was
a delightful surprise that proved
beyond question that practically
everybody appreciates The value
of this institution and wishes to
substantially prove it. There
were packages of sugar from one
to fifty pounds, -four, meal, grlts
and rice by the sacks; canned veg
etables, fruits. meats, fish syrup,
etc; fresh eggs, baskets of fruits
and flowers, that filled the great
pantry to completion and hidden
away. among the edibles, were
linens of many kinds, sheets, pill.
low cases, towels, etc., ard ex-
pressions of good will and best
wishes for the future.

Mrs. Harris Jaffa

A message from New Orleans
Monday night, announced tn e
death in that city of former
resident of Natchltoches which
was learned with sorrow as the
deceased had many friends here
who knew and appreciated her
real worth.
While Mrs. Jaffa was born in
Prussia she was very young when
she came over to join her brother
in New Orleans and shortly after
wards married, came to Natchito-
ches to make her home where she
lived forty odd years, returning
to New Orleans a few years ago
after her husbands death, so az
to be with her children who re-
side in that city.
She was truly mother in
Israel; a great hearted woman
whose deeds Of charity were many;
friend in need to one and all, a
woman Of intelligence and char
acter, whose keen sense of humOr
and sweet graclousness endeared
her to all who knew her.
She leaves two daughters. one
son and several grandchildren and
many friends who will long hold
her in tender remembrance.
