Wedding Bells.

Married, on Tuesday night, April 26th, 1881
at the residence of the brides brother Mr. j
N. Platt, near Fillmore, Mr.. w. T. MCDADE
and Miss JULIA ALINE PLATT; Reverend
j. A. Biggs officiating.
Another bright star from the galaxy of fe-
male beauty casting its cheering rays and add
ing its softening influences on the pathway of
happy mortal. Another benedict calmly
surrendering to the matchless charm of wo-
mans smile. Truly there is no grander hour
than when manhood in the prime ofits strength
stands before the hymenial altar plighting
troth with gentle, trusting, lovely maidenhood
Thus it was on this happy occasion, surrounded
by large gathering of friends, proud and
noble groom-a confiding, loving and charm
ing bride were mated for life-to share its
pleasures and divide its cares.
Both of the contracting parties are natives
of Bossier parish, having been born and rear
ed here, and enjoy the love and confidence of
hosts of friends. We tender both our best
wishes that their future life may be one of I'M
interrupted prosperity and unalloyed happi-
ness.

its twentieth volume. Nodemocrat-
&c Journal is more highly respected
throughout the State. Its editorials
are marked by sound sense and lust

more generally copied by the press
than those of any other rural journal

nearly twenty years, has never low.

hope his true hand may bear it aloft
Tor many years to come.-T Lake
Charles Echo.
For nineteen years our esteemed
friend w. II. Scanland, has owned
and controlled the Bossier Banner.
and in that time has written much
that rebounds greatly to his credit
as an able journalist, a good citizen
and a man of pure morals. Such
papers as the Banner do much to-
ward the elevation and Improvement
of society. May Bro. Scanland live
to publish the Banner many years
longer.-[ Claiborne G9afditsa.

were we not compelled to give our

we would surely be present on the

ic paper, retaining all its eclectic features, dis
GUESSING society, finance, the drama, railroads,

to 81 80 per annum, or 5 cents a number
As have placed all my means in the reor-
ganized enterprise, and propose to devote all
my time to it, have no hesitation in asking
my personal and political friends to give me
the benefit of their prompt aud active co-opera-

We're cast for Gen. Hancock in the city of Phil.
adelphia alone on the ID of November, and in
Pennsylvania 400, 600, and in the country at

to be ready and liberal response to the
scheme of an Independent Democratic weekly
paper OF the higher class in Philadelphia.
The hour of Democratic defeat. procured by
open purchase of suffrage, and by deliberate
intimidation of the dependent citizen, should
