We b I'd grand wedding 1t Bonfouca
last Saturday. Miss Celine DubourQ,
second daughter Of the well-known tloc.
tor Of that name, and Mr.. Edward Du.
buiSs0n, were married at the doctors
residence, BY Father Lavaqucry. They
hal nuptial mass at 3 O'Clock, and the
house WAS crowded with invited guests.
The alter looked like hank of flowers.
The bride, tall and slender brunette,
looked beautiful In cream colOred silk
dress, which was made with artistic
skill and lifted her splendid figure to
perfection. 1t WAS trimmed with costly
lace. and she wore . wreath of orange
blossoms, and bridal veil that fell In
folds to the floor. The bridesmaids
were Misses Lena Ceutlivre and Liiia
Penn; they were dressed In white, and
all three wore satin slippers. The
groom was attended by Emile Fsciane
aud Ad0lph DubuixsOu. There was
splendid array Of handsome and costly
cake was served, then al had breakfast.
after which many left, but the greater
portion spent the day In boat riding,
rambling through the woods, etc. At ,
O'Clock sumptuous dinner was served
ny Madame DubOurg, assisted by her
daughter Marie and the three Misses
Dubuiss0n, excellent young ladies.
At night the flres were LIT up all around
the house, and music and dancing fol-
lowed. At midnight supper was an
nounced, which surpassed anything Of
the kind ever known around here. I
heard some people say It was 3 good
thing the doctor had only one daughter
to marry now, for II he had . large fam
lily, and gave such receptions, he would
soon be poor man. Those who came
from . distance were Mrs. J. @. Abel,
nee I.awlef, from I.apice, La, Mrs. r.
T.. LAWYER, from McCalls, la, and two
beautiful young ladies from GOulds-
borough, Misses Winnie Kennedy and
Katie O'Driscol. They went home Sun
day and were delighted with this part OF |
the country. The boys want them to |
come back again. There were guests |
from New Orleans, but the only ono I |
knew was Mrs. TOomey, Of 3 Port 1t.
Judge Mc0loin was here ON Sunday. |
He addressed the people on ssThe real |
presence Of our Lord In the blessed /
and how nothing IN impos-
sible to God" There was not q very
large attendance, nor at mass either,
but this was owing to the bail at Du-
bOurg's. I guess the people were
asleep 1t that time, when they ought to
have been Ut church; hut they should
that Il n . mortal ain to ab.
vent themselves from mass without q
Just cause; and our good Father La-
'aQuery coming 50 far, from Bayou La
,ombe, to give them the blessing Of the
mass, and to inset with 20 few. An, Il
3 q shame.
was present ct wedding hack here
n the woods, some three weeks
lgo. There were about 100 people
'resent, all relatives Of the bride. The
most Of them were from Hickory
srove. They tell me there n no school
here, and the children are growing up
D ignorance. There arc about - Of
hem, between and Is years old. This
oOks bad for the using generation Of
L. Tammany parish.
Budd Jones met . sad death. He had
cen sick Saturday. and toward morn !:
q took spasms, which did not leave
Inn till he died, IN about 50 hours. He
sayes wife AMI four children.
