Rev. Ord. E. Bright, at the residence of
Mr., E. F. Connel at Fillmore, Mr.. HEN
RY 5. EINDSLEY, (of Lebanon, Tenn, to
Miss MARY BASHIE ATKINS, of Bossier
parish.
Our acknowledgements are due for some of
the delicacies of the wedding feast.
The occasion was one not soon to be for
gotten by the many friends of the fair bride.
The stars shone brightly upon their bridal
night, and the soft Southern wind whispered
only songs of love.
May no shadows fall around them,
And no storm cloud ever lower;
May their lives now bIent together,
Be as bright as in that hour
May he love her when the freshness
And the bloom of youth have fled,
When the almond flower bloOmeth,
Purely white, upon her head.
Fondly may he ever guard her
Guard her safely from every i'll;
Through all time and through all changes,
May he love his darling still.

SoUTH WESTERN OFFICE,

SoUTH WESTERN OFFICE,
Shreveport, April ID, 1870.
The business OF the past week
has been marked by no peculiar
features. Taking into account the
season of the year, when most of
the cotton has been marketed,
and when the planters are busy
'pitching" their new crops, bust
ness has not been duller than
might reasonably beexpected.. In
fact, as we have before said, there
is greater activity in trade, much
greater, than there was at this
time last year. The amount of
cotton yet to come from the inte-
rior is variously estimated at from
ten to twenty thousand bales.
Without having any accurate
means of information we are dis
posed to think that fifteen thou.
sand bales would cover it, depend
ent greatly npon the condition of
the small streams in Eastern
| Texas. There is said to be a large
quantity of cotton on the Trinity,
Neches and Sabine awaiting ship.
ment by way of those precarious
streams; most of which will likely
find its way to Shreveport.
During the week cotton has not
f1uctuated more than, if as much
as, usual; while, by reference to
our files, we find that there was
no change in our banking quota
tions in gold-110 buying and liz
selling price-from the 18th of
March to the 10th of April, when
it went up to 111tO113. On the
18th it was 112to114.
On Wednesday, Thursday, Fri.
day, Saturday and Monday low
middling cotton was quoted at 194
to20c. in curreney-the sales Of
Wednesday footing up 610 bales
the heaviest for some weeks.
The cotton market opened active
yesterday morning at our previous
quotations, but unfavorale advi
ces from New Orleans became dull
and heavy at inside figures:
