WALTHER-MOTLEY.- the residence of
Mrs. C. F. Moser, in Port Barrow, Ascension
parish La, on Tuesday, March 8, 1885, by Rev.
r. s. Stuart, Mr.. ERNEST F. WALTER of the
Clark place to Miss MARY MOTLEY of Bayou
Sara.
We had the pleasure of being one of the small
party of friends and guests that witnessed the
suspicious ceremony above recorded. and we
take occasion to repeat in an editorial capacity
the good wishes already extended the young
couple individually. Mr.. Walther is the head
blacksmith on Mr.. Beirne's Clark plantation,
and is not only tirst-class mechanic, but
young gentleman whose genial nature. str'ct!n-
tegrity and manifold good qualities have won
him the respect and regard of all who know
him. The bride is an amiable and charming
young lady from West Feliciana, whose attrac-
tons Of person and character. have made her
a favorite in large circle OF friends and &C
quaintancee. Owing to the recent bereavement
sustained by Mrs. Mose--the brides aunt-the
wedding was very quiet affair, attended by
only few intimate friends of the contracting
parties, but to the congratulations of those In
attendance will be added the fluctuations of
host of absent we'll wishers. Mr.. and Mrs.
Walther are stopping in Port Barrow for the
present, but will next week establish them
selves in little cottage on the Clark place,
near the railway station. where we hope they
will have home as happy as any IN the land.

A. B. s. P. A. OF LA.-The monthly
meeting of the Ascension Branch of the
Sugar Planters Association of Louisiana
was held at the rooms of the organization
last Tuesday. A report was submitted by
the committee of public health showing
Donaldsonville and vicinity to be almost
completely free from disease, barring few
cases of pneumonia aud bronchitis of be-
nign type. The committee were without
sdvices from other portions of the parish.
DR.. McGalliard handed in the meteorologi-
cal report for February from which ap-
pears that the total rainfall during the
month was 2.61 inches; maximum temper
ature, IS degrees, on the 9Th; minimum,
% degrees, on the 18th. A general discus
sion concerning plantation work was had,
and the reports with reference to the pro-
Rress of planting operations and the con-
dition of the cane were uniformly favor
able and encouraging. The growth of the
staple has been somewhat retarded by the
cool weather, but few warm days will suf-
fee to remedy this slight drawback. Both
stubble and seed are sound and the outlook
is all that could be expected or desired at
this season of the year.
