—Officers here were notified
Wednesday that the much-hunted
and fiendish negro, Monk Gib
son. who committed the quinary
murder at Edna last week, was
seen at Hills Prairie headed this
way. The officers put no cre-

as it was practically impossible
for the fugitive to have gotten
in this section, but thinking per-
haps it might be another wanted
criminal a sharp lookout was
kept, but no suspicious person
seen.

FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN.
The sudden death of precious
little Dorsey Douglas, the fivt
year old son of Mr. and Mrs. T
E. Lynch, was a sorrowful blow-
to the devoted parents, who have
the sincere and unbounded sym
pathy of all Bastrop, in this their
greatest hour of affliction. Sweet
in disposition, remarkably intel
ligent for one of his age, ever
smiling and cheerful, he spreat
bright sunshine and good cheer
throughout the household, and
so kindly and affectionately was
he by nature, he was dearly loved
by old as well as young playmates,
and now that he is gone, how
sadly he is missed, and how deso-
late is the home he made so
happy during life. Indeed,
"amiable, he won all; intelligent,
he charmed all; fervent, he loved
all; and dead, he saddened all."
"Heat in peocn, thou gentle spirit.
Throned above-
Souls like thine with God Inter,t
Life and lore."
Next Wednesday begins the
IN MEMORIUM.
Dikp. At hsr h«me, one mile north
of Mustrop, at 1 o'clock, A. M., Sept.
12!Kh, Mrs. M. J. Berriun, aged IS2
years, ti months.
Again the pale boatman has crossed
the mystic river, anil borne from our
si^ht the light and life of another home.
Early in life Mrs. Berrian came with
her husbanJ and infant son, to Bastrop,
and became identified with the commu-
nity. Here she lived, here her throe
daugnter* wore bom, and grew up to wo-
manhood : — here, she fought life's bit-
ties bravely, and, here "the broken
thiea ieof her life dropped apart," and
she passed into the Great Unknown.
Sixteen yeurs ago, one bright summej
afternoon her husband was suddenly
called from earth, leaving her with the
care of four helpless little ones. She
lovingly guarded the sacred trust, and,
by almost superhuman exertion, raised
them with tender watchfulness.
She was a woman of rare good sense,
and independence of character, never
permitting another to do for her what
she could do for herself. During hor
last sickness, which was of long duration
and full of suffering,she never uttered a
word of complaint, and, so appreciated
every little attention, that it was a pleas-
ure to minister to her wants, and. an ob-
ject lesson.of great value to those who
witnessed her submission to the will of
the King of Kings.
The tragic death of her yonngost
daughter, Katy. so weighed upon her
spirits, that life had no «r charm
for her. and, she wolcoir he call to
come up higher.
She was a loyal momb '^e Epis-
copal church, and, never forgot its sacred
obligations, though circumstances for-
bade her attendance upon its public min-
istrations.
at
'We know she is safely at rest in
Heaven,
There in its endless and radiant bloom;
But death is death, and its shadow lin-
gers,
In her empty chair, ana silent room."
Very improssive funeral services were
held at the home, at ,'f o'clock P. M.,
on Friday, Sept. 29th. by Rev Cullora
H. Booth, pastor of the M. e. church
in Bastrop. A lartje concourse of
friends and acquaintances testified their
esteem and sympathy.
Then, a long procession, wended its
way to Fairview, and. laid the remains
beside her loved husband and two
daughters.
May the God in whom she trusted,
provide some balm for the wounded
hearts that mourn her loss, and, bring
them together once more in that, ''Laud
that is fairer than day."
