We clip the following compliment
tary netice Of the wedding Of Cap. A.
+. Hotard and Miss Lillian Thibodaux,
from u New Orleans contemporary,
the Democrat, and we cordially
endorse tie sentiments therein X
pressed and unite in wishing the hand
some couple many years of unalloyed
happiness:
st. Jeseph's Church was the scene Of
JOY and happiness Wednesday morn
ing, April %, when two loving hearts
promised to love each other until death
do part them. The contracting par
ties were Capt. A. f. Hotard, IA gallant
and heroic young gentleman and Miss
Lillian ~Thibodaux, ono OF our fairest
young daughters. The bride, az she
passed up the aisle, elegantly costumed
and leaning III the arm of her future
husband, presented a picture never to
be forgotten. The bride is an accom-
plished and highly esteemed daughter
OF Theophile Thibodaux, Esq. The
attendants were Mr.. Theophile Berse-
ron and Miss Julia Thibodaux, DIR. j.
Gazzo ana Miss Evelyn IIotard, Mr..
Chas. Morse and Miss Lou Thibodaux.
Among the sweet faces noticed was
Mrs. Arthur Landrodie and Miss Nal
vlna Hotard, The grOom's sisters, who
are so much admired for their charm
ing ways and winning yraces. After
the ceremony the bridal party repaired
to tho residence of the brides mother.
where All elegant breakfast had been
prepared, and where with sparkling
wines the future happiness of the cou-
pie were toasted. At 12:1j Capt. Ho-
tard, with his beautiful bride, and ac-
companied by bis charming sisters,
boarded the train for Allcmand. where
they found the steamer Joe Webre
awaiting to take them to their future
home i'll Bayou Hoeuf. Upon their az
rival there a large circle of friends
gathered to offer their congratula-
tons and wish the young couple joy
and prosperity. SUI per had been pre-
pared, the table bein. tas,etully de-
coratcd and loaded with all the deli
cacies of the season. The groOm's
mother, Mrs. Iiotarl, received her
guests with her usual hospitality. She
was ably assisted by Miss Etfie Por-
teous of New Orleans. The presents
were costly and numerous. The gal
liant young captain and his bonny
bride are wished all the happiness
that this world can give, and all hope
that the captain will steer the lifeboat
as successfully us he has the Joe
Wehre, which he commands and guides
SO skillfully through the waters of his
native State. May the future of the
young couple be naught but sunshine.
and may the angels Of heaven whisper
a solemn benedlction for their harpi-
ness is the wish of all their friends.

We had th4 pleasure of inspecting
during the week an assortnlent OF
c~hinaware just from the Louisiana
Porcelain WORKS., To Mr.. Il. Il. Me
Bride, the cnteglrising dealer at the
corner of Ma ket aud 81. Philip street,
the credit is dR, at Introducing in IL
town the splendid products Of Il purely
home indxStry. We compared the
Louisiana porcelain with the imported
French china kept by Mr.. Mcbride,
and to our uneluclted eye there was
absolutely no difference between the
two articles, thus indicating that when
Americans make up their minds to
compete with foreign manufacturers
they succeed in the undertaking. By
all means give Mr.. Mcbride a call and
he convinced.

these trains are, and will be, the latest

Let the acreage be large, let the seeding
be done well. Every county in Texas

the great Importance of seeding.
Every letter that leaves the state Of Texas

Upon the envelope OF every business or
