MARRIED on Sunday, june Is, 1879,
by Rev. ID. H. Davis, j. Walter Hen
men, and Miss Lutetia Pickenpaugh, of
Laurel Iron Works, Monongalia coun.
ty, w. Va.
Walter is good boy. He has been
working in the New DOMINION office
on Prest. Thompson's Educational
journal for about. five months and we
do say that he is splendid compost
tor. Industrious, energetic and cor
rect.
Walter is son of our old lifetime
friend, Thomas j. Hennen, of Palatine
Marion county, whom we have known
since he was a little boy, So high, and
we never knew anything wrong about
him. Walters wife we don't know, but
know her father, Rein Pickenpaugh,
and have known him all our life, and
know him to he good honest man.
We wish the young couple all the
happiness possible, although Walter is
young not quite 81, but we have been
there. We were married young, and
we know that he will be better man
hereafter, although there is not much
room for Improvement.

We had quite severe storm pass

1879, long to be remembered by some.
About o'clock p. M. black cloud
hung heavy towards the west and
soon came near, and about one mile
wide and hail with it for about ten
minutes just swept nearly every thing
that was in its way, twisted off large
apple trees and carried them fifty
yards, blew roofs away, and wheat
shocks out of the fields, blew down
J. n. Bakers house chimney and the
poplar tree that has been known to
stand the storms one hundred and
twenty years. The above tree stood
near Ices ferry and near the Sulphur
spring below the road in the field.

Little Minnie was a sweet child of

great favorite both at home and

lovable disposition sometimes so
marked in children, which always
makes friends at sight. Her mind
was exceptionally bright, and it was
a great pride with her to excel in
all her studies. 1t is said Death

The Views Of a Farmer.
GRANT PARISH, La, April 10, rs

GRANT PARISH, La, April IL, rs.
Editor Chronicles:
As your columns are open for
thoughts on the conduct of the
State constitutional, convention, /
have to say that we should 60 back
to ante bellum or the constitution
OF 1852, when the good old Demo-
cratic and Wing parties were in
their purity, and when men held
office for honor and not for greed
OF the high salary. Then taxes
were not felt or talked about, and
only amounted to l6s cents on the
hundred dollars. some say there
was more taxable property, we
were richer, etc. That IL the very
reason why we need reform, why
we should cut down high salaries.
Do away with the district court
and let the parish court of each
parish do all the work, both pro-
bate and district, bat do not raise
the salary of the parish Judge, it
is too much now. Let appeal cases
go up to the Supreme Court. Let
us rival some of our sister States,
whose pay is only $4,000 to their
supreme judges. Throw out the
fraudulent bonds. Iwould ask, is
it dIshonorable to refuse to pay
debt the State does not owe? The
carpet-baggers, and some of our
own people who joined in with
them to rob us, have spirited away
the archives of the State so as to
hide their rascality'and corruption
and have foisted a debt on us that
neither we nor our children are
able to bear. Increase the juris-
diction of justices of the peace i'll
both criminal and civil cases. Let
the laws be made plain SO the far
mers can understand them, and
then we will have more help at the
pillow handles from the ranks of
Jack-leg lawyers. That is what is
the matter, We have too much law
Less law and plainer would suit
the taxpayers better.
I now have great hopes. Both
branches of Congress are Demo-
cratic, our beloved State has passed
from the corrupt rule of carpet
baggery and is Democratic, there
fore we may expe I reform. l hold
that we should have new election
when new constitution is made,
not that we do not endorse Mich
oils. but because the precedent of
electing full ticket LAS beeu es-
taDlished. / hold that the levee
bill is an unjust thing to a large
portion of the taxpayers. Two
thirds of this State IS upland, and
a legislature has just as much
right to pass an act to fertilize the
hill portion of this State as it has |
to do what it has done. We pay
four mills tax to build levees Oh
the Mississippi, which does two
thirds of the State no good, and
the levees break worse every year.
j. A. B.
(Our correspondent is referred
to an article headed "Unearthed |
in another column. It
will MT now he such a difficulk |
matter to identify the fraudulent
bonds. We do not agree With the
proposition Of electing an entire
ticket. That is q matter that we
think rests entirely with the con-
