News reached Lafayette on last Thursday afternoon, announcing the death at Jackson, La, of Aby Demanade, son of Mr Felix Demanade, of Lafayette. The young man had left about three weeks ago for Jackson, La, to enter Centenary College where he intended to pursue his studies. A week after his arrival he became ill and his sickness soon developed into typhoid fever. His mother joined him on the first news of his sickness and remained with him until the last. His father was telegraphed for on last Wednesday morning and left on the noon train for Jackson. The mortal remains of Aby were brought to Lafayette yesterday on the afternoon train and the funeral took place at the residence of his father at 4:30 p.m. The young man had a promising life open before him, which by his indomitable energy and knowledge would have been, no doubt, a successful one; but He who rules the destiny of all mankind called him up higher. Though hard it may seem for father and mother who had centered their affection upon him, yet to Him whose will is supreme we must submissively bow. Our tenderest sympathy is extended to the sorrowful parents in their deep bereavement.
