Promptly at high noon the bridal party
marched in to the inspiring strains OF the
wedding march rendered by Miss Glars V

caught mp in glad Anthem by the har-
monious voices OF Mrs. Conn. Miss Ruby

The bride wore an exc uisite gown OF

chiffon and orange blossoms. The at
tendants were charmingly attired in
white silk with accompanying decorations
OF pink. baby blue and nine green.
The Synagogue was appropriately deco
rated in white roses, lilies. ivy and

For the Constitutional Convention.
THE PROGRESS believes Caddo
parish should have some country
man for the Constitutional Conven-
ton. There is splendid material
in every ward OF our parish and
it is time that the country should
be recognized. For instance, there
are Messrs. JIM. Hoss. S.G. Spear
man and w. III. Adams OF Ward
One; Hon. H. II. Hockobay. w.
N McClendon, Rev. L. d. Ivans,
L. 4. Crawford, j. S. Jolly. OF
Ward Two: Hon. j. S. Noel. r. F.
Cole. NJ. H. Sharpe, r. w. George,
j. r. Mccain. A j. Parnell. W. e.
Wasson, OF Ward Three; Hon. L.
b. Phillips, DR.. F. L. Johnson, S.
a. Alexander, OF Ward Five;

\ -illiams, DIR. Gus Hendrick, John
"A. Hudson, E. c. Robinson, DR.. j.
/. Schumpert, OF Ward Six; Hon.
l. w. Perkins, w. A. Hendrick,
F.. p Keith, George a. Colquitt, o
of Ward Seven; Hon. A. B. Crow
der, John l.. Gale, VIM. Robson,
w. j. Hutchinson, John NJ. Robert
son, j. V. Hughes, DR.. j. r. Moss,
of Ward Eight, and many Others
in each ward which we do not re-
call, would make excellent repre-
seTtatives of the people.
No. these are not lawyers; not
one OF them is; but they are sensi-
bic, thinking men, men who think
and act for the best interests OF the
people, as a whole, and that is
what we want in the Constitutional
Convention.
The editor of THE PROGRESS be-
longs to a family of lawyers, but
while he honors the profession, he
does not believe that all the learn
ing belongs to and is confined to
that class, and hence our paper
favors some farmer for one. at
least, OF the members of the Con-
stitutional Convention from Caddo
or this District.
