SUS CRIPTION .RARLY .50
In Astamee.
FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1915.
IEATI IF MIS. R1'T. Y. NEWELL
Seldom has it been our duty to
chronicle a sadder event that the
passing away of Mrs. Bessie Young
Newell, whose death occurred at her
home at Newellton on the 8th
inst. The daughter of the late Col.
and Mrs. Wm. C. Young, she was
well known to and universally be
loved by our entire people.
In 1891 she was married to Mr.
Rob't. Y. Newell, of this parish,
who, with four children, survives
her.
She was a native of 'l'ensas and
her childhood was spent at the fami
ly home on Lake St. Peter. In 1.,'82
when her parents moved into St.
Joseph, this sunny hearted girl be
came a part of the life of this coin
munity. She grew into maiden
hood, beloved by all who knew her.
As the years passed, the woman
fulfilled the promise of the girl,
-sweet, gentle and attractive, un
selfishly devoted to her home and
her friends, blending the likeness of
her parents in a truly lovable char
acter.
Life is just the stuff that tests the
metal we are made of. Through
good fortune and adversity, in pain
and in joy, she rang true and faith
ful,-the metal of which she was
made was refined gold!
To her the struggles and burdens
of life are ended, and we confident
ly trust that like one who awakes
from a troubled dream she has
awakened to see life's endless morn
ing break and knows herself at home
with all the vast throng of loved
ones, missed from earth, safe about
her. Her home instincts were strong
here in this fevered world of disap
pointment. Her affection for friends
and kindred was tender and abid
ing.
Among us all she ranked always
as a woman of culture, refinement,
sympathy, a kind neighbor, devoted
mother and a true friend and with
all a woman of heroic mould in
bravely meeting the stern require
ments and too often the disappoint
ments of life.
Gone from our sight! but becauge
life and love are stronger than death
she is ours still. She is still the
mother of the dear children uson
whom she doted with such clinging
fondness, and the companion still
of him who mourns earth's greatest
loss, and may she not by this very
transition wield over them a strong
er force for goodness and truth than
before.
In the beautiful cemetery at Nat
chez she was tenderly lain to rest
in the narrow house with its cur
tains of fadeless green. Peacefully
she sleep besides her beloved par
ents. May the sod rest lightly-o'er

TIES-PICATIIIES NEW PICTIRESAlL
The New Orleans Times-Picayune
recently started another of its in
teresting Booklover's Picturegames.
This is the fourth game conducted
by the Times-Picayune.
They have always afforded the
players much pleasure and the best
players have found it very profit
able.
This year five thousand dollars in
cash is to be divided among the 256
persons sending the best answers.
The first prize is $1,000, and oth
er prizes range from $750 down to
$5.00.
The Picturegame editor of the
Times-Picayune will be glad to
furnish full particulars and rules for
playing the Picturegame to all in
terested persons.
The game is open to all and en
trants may join at any time up to
the publishing of the last picture
which will be about July 10th.
However, it is advisable to start
early and have ample time to give
your answers careful study.
Bishop Van de Ven of the Catho
olic Diocese of Alexandria, paid his
pastiral visit to our town last Sun
day, remaining over until noon on
Monday. While here, the Bishop
administered the right of confirma
tion to a large class at the sunset
hour on the Sabbath. This was a
singularly impressive ceremony, and
his sermon deeply moved the con
gregation, composed of all creeds,
gathered within the sacred little
church under the cedars. Bishop
Van de Ven spoke feelingly of the
sacred duties of family life, and the
influence of his ringing words will
lhfelt long after his visit shall have
been forgotten.
Bishop Van de Ven and Fath
er Degnan, who accompanied him,
were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. B.
F. Young during their stay in St.
Joseph.
The writer of the article on the
St. Joseph High School Commence
ment published in last week's issue
of the Gazette inadvertently omitted
the mention of an award for schol
arship given in the Sixth Grade of
the Grammar School.
This medal was offered by a teach
er of that grade, and was won by
Miss Marie Louise Ashford. This
pupil has shown such untiring ef
fort and has done such excellent
work that iL is especially unfortu
nate that the omimssion was made.
S Mr. Emile Mayer is visiting his
atmily in NTa, Orleans.
