OBITUARY.
Died, at his office, in this place,
on Sunday evening, 25th instant, of
typhoid fever. Dr. I. L. SPLAWN;
aged thirty-one years.
Dr. Splawn was born and raised
in Catahoula parish, Louisiana,
where he resided for twenty-seven
years, and so consistent and upright
was his course as a child, a youth
and a man, he had not a single ene-
my among an acquaintance which
extended throughout the entire par-
ish, but all who came in contact
with him became at once warm and
admiring friends.
In 1872 he commenced the study
of medicine at the Medical Universi-
ty of Louisville, Kentucky,where The
graduated with the highest honors
in 1874. During the period of his
college life he was noted for his ar-
dudus attention and close applies
tion to studies.
After graduating, Dr. Splawn came
to Elmo and commenced the prac-
tice of medicine, and although a
perfect stranger, it was but a short
time until he displayed such ability
in his profession that he soon classed
as one of the most eminent and suc-
cessful practitioners of the South.
During the past four years his
popularity as a physician has grad-
ually increased, and the people of
this section had a decided preference
for his services, notwithstanding
there were other able and expe-
rienced physicians among them.
“As a citizen, and in all his deal-
ings with his, fellow, man, ho, was
scrupulously honest and upright, and
liberal to a fault. He was energetic
and enterprising not only in his pro-
fession, but in all mattersthat would
redound to the good of the public.
Dr. Splawn, in all probability, sac-
rificed his life in performing what he
conceived to be his bounden duty
as a physician, for even after he
had been stricken down with the
fever from which he died, he con-
tinued to respond to the calls of suf-
fering humanity and to ameliorate
affliction so long as his weak health,
and worn constitution would permit
him to do so.
In his death, society is bereft of a

Aleman; the poor a noble and free-
hearted benefactor, and the medical
fraternity one of its most useful and
skillful members.
On Monday evening his funeral
services were conducted by the Odd
Fellows of Elmo, Terrell, Lawrence
and Wills Point, of which order he
was an influential and useful mem-
ber. The procession was the largest
ever witnessed in this place. Rev.
J. W. Brice, who preached the funeral
sermon, paid a deserved tribute to
“e many virtues and kind deeds of
the deceased. .
“Tuesday morning the remains
were temporarily buried in the yard
afached to the office of the deceased,
and will be removed to Louisiana at
sime future day. |
The death of no citizen, however
prominent, could have occasioned
such universal regret as that of Dr.
Splawn, and his many virtues and
consistent course will ever live in
memory of the people of this vicini-
ty, and wherever he was known.

tion to his fellows. 110

--Mr, J. M. Lindsey announces in
this issue for County Treasurer.
He is honest and well qualified to
fill the office. As County Commis-
sioner Mr. Lindsey has been a faith-
ful and consciencious officer, and has
guarded the interests of the people
zealously, and we believe that he
will receive the endorsement of a
majority of the voters of the county
at the coming election: He is a life-
long Democrat, and no word of sus-
picion has ever been whispered
against his private or public charac-
ter. Mr. Lindsey will canvass the
