 The Ouachita Telegraph
Saturday, August 11, 1888
Page 2, Column 1

Gov. Hawkins, for a number of years a turbulent negro politician of Madison
parish and a purchasable commodity in the Louisiana legislature and
democratic caucuses, is dead.  By his vote in a Democratic caucus, it has
been said, Mr. Eustis was made a United Senator and Mr. Jones was defeated
at the same time for the same office.
