Married, at the Baptist Church, in Plain Dealing,
La, on the 10th instant, Mr. j. E. Murray and Miss
Gay Nell Cochran, Rev. E. Mack officiating. The
church was beautifully decorated with ferns and
flowers. The building was crowded, until there was
room for no of the host of friends of the bride
and groom. Mr.. G. P. Murray acted as best man;
Miss Allie Montgomery maid of honor; Misses
Maud Mckenzie and Evelyn Carstarphen maids of
the bride, and little Stella Boggs like snowy angel
from the fowery fields of Paradise, was flower girl;
DR.. E. E. Martin, DR.. J. s. Boggs, Lester Mckenzie
and Elmer Walker were ushers.
AS the notes of the wedding march foated out
upon the evening breeze, exquuisitely rendered by
the skillful touch of Mrs. M. B. Curry, the bridal
party entered the church, the bride vision of love-
illness, leaning her fathers arm, and at the altar
gave her hand in marriage. The bride is the ac-
complished and gifted daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. S.
H. Cochran, of Plain Dealing. The groom is a
popular young business man of Shreveport.
The popularity Of these young people was shown
by the number of presents given them, consisting
in part of silver tea set from Ards Co., while
other friends gavethem numerous household articles
The happy couple took the o'clock train on an
extended bridal tour, visiting the Fair at ST. Louis
aed other Northern places of interest.
May their lives be ever as sweet as the fair young
bride, and love guide them gently over the waves
of time, and when called to lie down in that dream
less sleep, may the rustic of angel wing be heard

Judge Gear in his time has played
many parts but last evening he oficiated
as cook in public restaurant. He sue
oeeded in spelling a good steak and in
other ways promoting success to crime,
but he did not fail to give the dinner
patrons of the Union Grill an immense
amount of fun.
FIizzoner seated himself at his favor

menu, especially the steaks, Mine Host
Lycurgus genially remarked ~ the
Judge couldn't cook better ones, where
upon Hizzoner jumped to his feet, de-
ciared he would show that restaurant
what a good sreak looked like and made
his way to the kitchen, peeling off his
coat as he went "Hurroo," he yelled
to the chef; "bailiff remove him" and
upon that he got in front of the range
and began pi1ing steaks on 1t. The chef
rescued all but one and then got out OF

egg on the chefs head, TO baptize him,

Meanwhile the Judges steak began

and wrenching off the top he poured the
whole mess Oh the hot stovetop. In
minute the restaurant was -well-nigh
untenable. Everybody sneezed at once
and the hoarse, raucous roar of the judi

the general din in the kitchen. 1t took
about ten minutes to get the smells out,
whereupon the Judge came into the din
ing room with steak that looked like
a piece of buggy top and tried to bite
it, He wore a cooks cap and greasy
apron.
''Yes, we had hot tine,1 said one of
