vice Mr. Dennis Kelly resigned. dis commission arrived yesterday. The pointment has caused dissatisfaction the Fourth ward. It seems that the riends of Mr.

John Lawless circulated petition, and had thirty or forty citiins of the Fourth ward to sign same. hey say that Mr. Stafford had no on, and yet was appointed, and say lat they can't see why the will of the ople should have been entirely overoked by the Governor. All the citins we have spoken to admit that Mr. afford will make a good Councilman, say further that they would just as adily have signed his petition as that of Lawless.

What they are kicking pout is having their petition set aside ad a citizen without a petition getting appointment. Hotel Arrivals. EXCHANGE HOTEL. B. F.

He informed us that he first visited Monroe forty-seven years ago, when it was but- village, though he had, since then, passed through. He has farmed in the parishes of Union, Jackson and Grant, but says that Rapides is the best parish, and that last year he gathered fourteen bales of cotton from ten acres of land, and that this year, his crops are fair, and his sweet potato crop is the finest he ever raised or saw. He left by last evening's train, favorably impressed with the Parlor city, which he will probably visit again soon. -Monroe Herald, Aug. 22.

on SaturAugust 17, 1895, M.ME. EUGENIE nee Lamarlere, relict of A. G. A. Lemee, aged 88 years.

It is our sad duty to report the death of this estimable old lady, one of our oldest residents and the progenitor of one of the oldest, largest and most influential families in North Louisiana. Mrs. Lemee was born in Baltimore, in March, 1807, and was married in New Orleans on the 19th of March, 1829. In 1832 she became a resident of Natchitoches where she lived until her death. She has had 135 lineal descendents, 98 of whom are now living and 37 dead.

She leaves two song and rive daughters, all now residents of Natchitoches with the exception of one daughter; 46 grandchildren, 43 great grandchildren, and 2 great great grandchildren. Mrs. Lemee was a true type of the Southern Creole lady, a woman of culture and refinement, and a consistent and practical Catholic through all the long years of her life. She was the golden link that bound the family more closely and nearly than most large families are bound; exerting in her gentle, happy way an influence for good that has had a wondrous effect in the past and will never be forgotten in the future. Death is too terrible under any circumstances to be borne with anything like resignation, but the removal by His stern decree of one who bore the tender relation of mother unto five generations, is an affliction which truly rends the heart.

Death is not always unkind; to some it is a relief after months of torture, and they hail it with joy, but those who are left behind cannot view it in that light. They only know that a great grief has come upon them, that shadows have crept into the household, and they can only hope for Time, the great healer, to lessen the pain, while now they bow their heads and humbly say "Thy will be done." -Natchitoches Enterprise. Mrs. Lemee was the grandmother of Mrs. L.

B. Baynard, of Alexandria, and also related to Mrs. C. S. Searing, of this SEMINARY For Girls and Boys, CASSON PLACE.
