DEAR DEMOCRAT.
Everything is lovely and the goose
hangs high here, we come again. l
trust you will allow us short space in
your valuable columns. We have been
having some awful cold weather and if
it continues much longer thereis no tell
ing what will happen. Oh my / have
forgotten it is Leap Year, and oh how
happy would be if some fair one of the
feminine gender would just hint word
that she wanted partner for life, ]
would accept sure, especially during
this cold snap. "Dick" says he wouldn't
object to one himself, but think he is
rather young yet, but he knows best.
We are sorry to learn that our esteemed
friend Hon. Jno. D. Currie and family
who have been with us for the last ten
years, will in a few days bid us adieu,
and take up quarters in our sister town
of Vile Plate. Mr.. Currie will start a
business of his own, and we wish him
much success and prosperous year in
his new enterprise.
Capt. Sam Haas accompanied by our
nominee for the Legislature, Maj. F. w.
Wharton, departed yesterday for your
town, to be absent several days. We
wish them pleasant trip during their
absence. Mr.. Sam Holly, son of our es-
teemed citizen, S. j. Holly, Esq, of
Canada, arrived in town a few days ago
pleased with the Sunny South, and f.
nally concluded tomake Same his home.
Our String Band under the able man
agement of Messrs. Holly, Erlich, Mar
shall & Co., still remains in full blast,
and they often treat their friends to
a serenade during these beautiful star
light nights. Our public school under
the management of our worthy and
highly esteemed citizen, Prof. Bingham
CushmaD, is in Furnishing condition,
although to-day Monday morning, be-
ing freezing, we learned he had 25
scholars in attendance, with fair pros
pect Of Is or 90 more. DR.. James III.
Parker left few days ago to complete
his Medical studies at Louisville, Ky.
Miss Belle Hawkins also departed to be
gone several days in New Orleans,
W there she goes to visit her school mates
and teachers for few days of recrea-
ton and pleasure.
Respectfully,

An individual applied to deputy
clerk Of court Mayo, for license to get
married. He asked him if the lady
had ever been married-he wanted to
ascertain if she was widow or maid,
that he might put in the license Mrs. or
Miss, as the case might be. The apph
cant replied She haint never been
married accordin' to law, but accordin
to matrimony she has,"

A young lady was married in Ala
bama, in 1860, and her husband shortly
afterward went into the army. He was
reported killed in the first battle of
Manassas; and in 1865 his supposed wi

are the fruit of this marriage. Recent

husband is alive, and the second hus-

The Sixteenth sections Of public
State land belong to the public schools.
In this parish a good many of these
sections have been sold and the money
turned over to the State treasury the
State pays interest on this money, and
the interest now due this parish, on
this account, amounts, We believe, to-
about six thousand dollars, about half
of which is in the hands of the parish
treasurer, and the balance not drawn
from the State treasury. This money
is not to pay teachers, but to build
school houses in the townships COM
prising the same sixteenth sections
that have been sold. The people who
reside in these townships are the inter-
ested parties, and they should take
steps to have school houses built with
this money. If there is now public
school house ia this parish, built with
public money, we have never heard of

Since January first, up to last Thurs
day morning, ffty-six marriage licenses
we're issued by the Clerk of Court,
The applications for license, or bonds
were signed by the proposed grooms.
Of the fifty-six who got licenses this
gear, only eight of them were able to
sign their names. 1t does not require
education therefore to get married;
in fact, there seems to be less marrying
among educated than among uneduca-
ted people. Education seems to beget
tastes and wants that operate against
matrimony. 1t takes so much money
to run a poor man with cultivated
tastes that he can not invest in the ex-
pensiye luxury of cultivated wife.
