Death ot Capt. F. M. Hanks.

Captain Francis M. Hanks died at his residence near Midway, in this parish, ou last Monday evening, of heart disease; aged about 52 years. From his early manhood he has been closely identified with the growth and progress of Bossier par­ish, and the beet years of his life were devoted to that end.

To a large circle of friends, among whom he was popular for bis bright, happy nature, and respected for his truly noble character, Capt. Hanks’ death came with a sense of personal loss and grief, while in his own home there is desolation and sorrow, which those who knew him can sin­cerely appreciate and simpatbize with.

Those who knew of the great hap­piness of his married life for the past twenty-two years; of how de­voted the husband and wife were to each other, how congenial in every taste and wish, can sympathize with his wife in her grief.

In the shelter of his home bis placid life was a dedication to a man’s nearest, dearest duties and cares. There the beauty of his character was the joy and blessing to those who were of bis home cir­cle. Devoted to his home, its com­fort aud happiness was his daily care. Death has cast a shadow across the brightness of a happy home, and the one whose care kept it full of comfort and sunshine is no more. In the prime of life, with all his thoaghts and ambitious centered on the future, with his life full of promise, he has been suddenly taken from the scene of his usefulness and happiness.

Capt. Hanks filled several posi­tions of honor and trust here, and in all these discharged his every duty faithfully and conscientiously.

We have known Captain Hanks since 1858, and throughout his early maubood as well as throughout his mat urerdays there was always much to attract and admire. He was pop­ular with all classes and made frieuds wherever he was thrown.— He was liberal, candid and sincere. He loved to make friends, and it was ever his earnest desire to hold them.

A good man, a useful citizen, a gallant Confederate soldier, a true Masou aud a devoted husband and father has gone from us. May the balm which the merciful Father fiuds for such sorrow be given to his bereaved widow and children; may their grief, now so terrible, be soft­ened by the thought that he loves them now as ever, and that he has goue to that home “ not made with hands,” where he awaits them.

Tennie Stinson, infant d au g h ­ter of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. W. Stin­son, died after a long illness at the home of her parents, near Benton, on Wednesday evening, October25, 1893, aged about 14 months.

In the death of this little child a happy home has been invaded by the grim destroyer, its sunshine darkened, and hearts made heavy with grief. Her bereaved pareuts in their affliction should be consoled by tbe words of Him who said : “Suffer little children to come onto me and forbid them not, for of such is tbe kingdom of heaven.”

In Boston alone wowen pay taxes on more than $120,000,000. They pay into the city treasury annually in taxes about $1,500,000, which is expended by the representatives of men, nine-tenths of whom pay only a poll tax of one dollar, and some not even th a t

Baltimore Sun : There is no more important lesson to be impressed upon young children than that if they would be loved they must love, that if they would be helped they must help and that in all the rela­tions of life obligations are mutual.
