The late cool nights have been
somewhat injurit q to small gar

has caused corn to change its
color. But q continuance of warm
weather and q little rain mixed
with (which the farmers are
patiently waiting for-will go q
long way towards bringing about

Married:

At tie residences of Mr.. N. W.
Sentell, April 21st, 4 P. NJ, Mrs.
Lizzie Greaves Stinson and Mr..
W. j. Brown.
Only few of her most intimate
friends were present, yet the dec
orations of the hall and parlors
were beautiful and artistic, and
the ceremony, by Rev. W. A.
Zeigler, was most solemn and i'm
pressive. They stood and receiv-
ed the congratulations of their
friends, then babe adieu to all, in
order to catch the northbound
train for their future home
Stephens, Ark.
Mrs. Stinson has won many
hearts since her stay among us,
and she will be sadly missed in
our Church and social circle, and
we were 10th to give her even to
the fortunate gentleman who was
lucky enough to win her heart
and hand. Yet we feel that she
is in good hands, as Mr.. Brown is
a noble, heightened gentleman,
and has been in our midst long
enough to be liked and respected
for his many good qualities, and
is quite popular.
"Miss Lizzie" is from the old
est and best families of Baton
Rouge, and is we'll known and
loved all over Louisiana.
The groom was accompanied
by his brother, Mr.. D. A. Brown,
a successful planter OF Stephens,
Ark. They were met at the train
by crowd of friends, and left
amid a shower of rice and good
wishes. And we pray that Heav-
ems richest blessings will rest
upon them during their voyage
through life. M. B. C.

Corporal Ouinn's Literalness.

Corporal Quinn's Literalness.
A good story comes from the Philip
pines. Some time ago Lieutenant-Col'
onel @. A. Williams, Twenty-eighth In
fantry, commanding the post and prl-
son at Lingayen, issued an order that
all animals dying in the vicinity OF
the town should be buried at least two
feet under ground. The first burial un-
der this order was done by some native
prisoners, under command Of Corporal
Quinn, of Company NJ, Seventeenth
Infantry. The body was dragged to
large cocoanut grove and deposited In
q shallow excavation, but in such a
way as to leave the rear half Of the an
imal above ground. This action was
regarded as a violation Of the order
and Corporal Quinn was placed under
arrest. When asked to plead to the
charges he stated with rare confidence
that he had obeyed the order literally.
and as it required that animals should
"be buried two feet under ground" 1t
would have been a violation Of the or
der II he had put all four feet of the
animal under. The defense was re-
garded as sufficient, and the corporal,
who was undoubtedly Irish. was re-
leased from arrest-Washingto Star.
