schoolable Children in Grant.


Mr.. @. H. Mcknight has just complet-
ed an alphabetical list OF the schooiabie
children OF Grant parish, in order that
Assessor J. NJ. Anthony may furnish q
list OF the same to the school board be-
fore receiving his pay. This is in accord
ance with the law, and was only accom-
plished after three or four years OF earn
est and persistent effort looking to this
end. The list Is naturally inaccurate as
vet, from q number OF causes, the main
ono being the stnbbornness with which
many ignorant people decline to give in
their children, foolishly supposing that
it may add to their taxes. However, the
people are rapidly becoming enlightened
on the subject, and most persons now un-
derstand that all of the children in their
community must be listed il they are to
receive their full share OF the public
school fund. The officers also have a
better knowledge OF what their duty is
and how to perform it, and, with the as
sistance OF the school patrons, teachers
and local trustees. it ought not to take
more than another season to secure q
reasonably perfect list of the schoolable
children Of Grant parish. From the re-
capitulation Of the list we extract the
following statement rs to the number OF
white and colored children OF schoolable

Miss \. Leila Edwards, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. p Edwards, of this
city, solemniZed at the Christian
church, by Rev. DR., Murphy, pastor
of the Baptist church, was one of the
most brilliant social events that has
taken place in this city in many day.
The invitation to witness the cere
mony at the church was general to
the friends of the young people, and
long before the appointed hour for
the ceremony TO take place, o clock,
the house was packed to its utmost
capacity. During the day the church
was handsomely decorated with cut
flowers and evergreens, ferns, white
lilies and other delicate plants. Mrs.
W. f. Walton presided at the organ
and to the sweet strains of Mendel-
sohn's wedding march, the bridal
pair passed down the aisle to the
altar, where they stood under floral
arch from the top of which was sus-
pended a white dove. There were no
attendants. The ushers were Messrs.
Walton Steele, Chas. Frank, Chas.
Clardv, Fred Young and Walker
Cannon. The bride. a charming and
accomplished young lady, was attired
in a gown of heavy ivory satin and
veil of tulle, never looked prettier
than she did on this occasion and she
was the recipient of many conpli-
ments from her young friends present.
! The ceremony over, the happy
couple, accompanied by immediate
| relatives, returned to the elegant
| home of the brides parents where a
| reception was held and ali elaborate
| supper was served.
| The welded couple took their depal
ture on the night train for Columbia
