Bond Amendment Defeated by Majority

Bond Amendment Defeated by Majority
of Three-Light Vote Polled.
The election Tuesday passed off
peacefully and quietly in Ascension
parish, only 500 votes having been
polled out Of total registration Of
1859. No campaign whatever was made
on behalf of the Republicans and
only an eleYenth-hour demonstration
by Democrats, intended to save the
school bond proposition from defeat.
There was no interest manifested in
any of the results involved except in
the case of the bond amendment, on
which warm fight was waged, The
vote in this instance was exceedingly
close throughout the parish and it took
the official count to determine the final
result, which proved to be the defeat
bya narrow margin OF Blanchard's pet
scheme. The vote on the other pro-
posed amendments to the state consti-
tuition shows that Nos. 2. 4, and
were also defeated, the rest having
carried.
The total vote on the amendments,
other than No. /, was as follows:

 The service was very beauti- fully said by Dr. c. Pope and in- cluded the ring ceremony and kneeling of the welded couple for the blessing of the Divine upon their future lives.
 Tanhauser's march was used for the recessional, the party leaving the church in twos through the center aisle.
 RECEPTION FOLLOWING WEDDING.
 Mrs. Robert Dorsey, who is ever gracious hostess, had planned an event in honor of the popular young couple, and her home was thronged with a crowd of friends anxious to express their congratulations. Dr. and Mrs. Walker received in the par Tor, which was elaborately deco rated in magnolia blossoms that hung from the chandeliers and greeted the eye at almost every turn.
 Delicious ice cream in heart figures, cake and lemonade, the refreshments being in harmony with the color scheme of green and white, were served in the dining hall, where a wedding cake formed the central attrac- tion of a prettily decorated table.
 The cutting of the cake by the wedding party proved a source of much fun and merriment, all being willing to run the chance of landing the Hateful darning needle to try for the ring and dime.
 The bride and groom were the recipients of wealth of pres ents, handsome furniture, costly silverware, pretty china and cut glass remembrances of friends and family who wish them all the blessings and the feWest possible sorrows of life.
 The bride was never prettier, and this is saying much, for she has been recognized as one of Newport's fairest daughters of the blond type. Beloved by all who know her for her many sweet traits of character, her for tune is now cast with a young man of promising future, whose genial temperament and high character have made him a gen. eral favorite. Both are of promi- nent Jackson county families and have host of friends who join in the Independents con- gratulations and good wishes for their complete happiness.
