Wilcox. I A man, who in the quiet walks of life, has always done his duty, cleaving tothe right as God has given him to see the right-that man is George H. Wilcox, generally esteemed and liked by all who know him. Born at Oak Grove plantation, West Feliciana parish, Jan. 13, 1847, Mr.

Wilcox has spent his entire life here except in the time of war when his duty called him to other scenes. He was but a boy when the Civil War came on, but yet in 1862, at the age of fifteen, he applied for en listment in Logan's Battery, but was refused on account of his extreme youth. Nothing daunted, he made app)lication to entei Cockerham's Battery, during the same year, meeting with success in this second attempt at putting on the panoply of a soldier boy. The next year he was trans ferred to Co. First Louisiana Cavalry, with which company h( remained in active service unti the close of the war.

He sur rendered his arms at Gainesville in 1865, but before he turn ed his face homeward he became very ill, and but for the tender care of a Southern lady there would have been another victin ks of that unnhappy war. His life was spared and he returned so as home to find that his mother was ru iat dead, and the plantation entirely broken upl, only two negroes left of all out of one hundred and ten that tip had formerly been owned by the 11 family. pl 13, A veteran of war, but still a his boy in years, he. had now to face the aftermath of battle and deled spoliation. He started to school 7as to make good the loss of educaTar tion, but his health, undermnined the by exposure in the army, pre-.

en- vented his continuing to study. out He came home and went to work. ex- He has evolved a competency ed, from his endeavors, not a rich ter man if you will, but a good and the honest citizen, whom no one can ess say has ever wronged another. ing He married Miss Mary E. oy.

Thompson in 18S3 and they have two sons, Fred C. and Albert W. Ana Wilcox. Mr. Wilcox is a memhe ber of West Feliciana Camp, U.

ntil C. and at all local Confeder- t' ate gatherings, his gentle, kind- ille, ly face may be seen, a silent but irn- intelligent and appreciative par- Mme ticipant in all acts of loyalty to der the memory of the Lost Cause; ere and upon his coat he wears the tim Southern Cross of Honor. In Memory of Little Stella. On Saturday, 24, at the old home cemetery of Mr. Fish- I burn Carney, we tenderly laid away to rest to await the resurrection morn little Stella Carney.

She did not stay with us very long, but long enough to entwine herself around our hearts and her going away has left our hearts all broken and bleeding. Little Stella budded in this life to blossom in eternity. I. have often thought that heaven would not be complete without children and the Bible says, "And the streets of the City ahall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof." The heavenly Jerusalem will be full of such gladness and freedom. In the other world children will have changed less, than those who are older and farther from heaven and let us remember that He who watches over the little ones here will not neglect them in heaven.

Little Stella will be kept safe in the kingdom of our Father until our home coming. Let us so live in this life that we may be permitted to live in the life to come. Many friends sympathize with fhe bereaved parents. Pinckneyville Notes. Pinckneyville voted solid for Bryan! Mr.
