who were the recipients of flood of Warmest
CONGRATULATIONS and many more tangible EVIL

Of valuable and useful presents. The groom is
son of that highly esteemed and venerable
citizen of upper Ascension. Mr.. Adlard Landry,

looking young man in the parish. The fair
bride is the charming daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fulgence Bourgeois of the Souvenir place. q

brides dress was of white satin, very rich and
tasteful. There were no bridesmaids or grooms-
men, but the couple were attended at the altar
by little sister of the bride, prettly arrayed In
white and bearing bouquet of lovely flowers.
A private reception and dinner took place at
the Souvenir residence after the wedding cere-
mony, and at its conclusion the newly welded
couple proceeded to their future home In the
first ward, where the groom has built and fur
niehed neat little residence adjacent to his
place of business, the Philadelphia Point store.

earnestly hope no one will hurt his feelings by
disputing bill or deferring payment. If we

we will be enabled to enlarge and otherwise
improve our paper, making it still more inter
eeting to its readers and credit to the commu-
nifty. number of accounts have been allowed
to run several years without a settlement, and
the accumulation will perhaps give rise to
dissatisfaction in some instances-pa particularly
il any of the delinquents have acquired the
strange hallucination that a newspaper is
printed only as matter of personal amuse-
ment to the proprietor and that advertisements
are put in to improve the appearance of the

GouRRIER & MoNAIR.-The death of the
late Major Henry V. McNair caused no
interruption of the insurance business con-
Quoted by that we'll known Baton Rouge
firm Messrs. Courier &..McNair, and they
are prepared as heretofore to take fire,
marine and life risks in the best companies
at the most favorable rates. Representing
number of companies, with combined
capital of over one hundred millions of
dollars, they can offer the insurer a con-
siderable field for selection and place his
risk with such corporation as he may prefer.
In fact there is no agency, in the State
New Orleans not excepted-that can afford
superior facilities or inducements to those
who desire to insure their lives or property
and all such will find it advantageous and
profitable to consult Messrs. Courier &
McNair before taking out policies else
where. The Office of the agency is at the
corner of Laurel and Lafayette streets,
Baton Rouge, where member of the firm
may always be found during business
hours, and letters addressed to them at
that city will be as promptly considered aud
inquiries answered as if the applicants had
called in person.
