A Brilliant Wedding

The following, from the KaplaD (La
Times, will be read with interest by the
many friends of the families of the two
contracting parties in St. Landry:
DR.. p. w. Hampton Stagg and Miss
Valentine MonCla were united in mar
riage at St. Mary's of the Holy Rosary
Catholic Church last Thursday evening
at 6 O'clock.

Father A. j. Maltrait in the presence Of
the relatives and IL few OF the intlmaik
friend of the contracting couple.
Promptly ut 6 O'Clock the bride ~
tered the church, leaning on the arnFof
her father, DR. Leon MOncla. The bridal
party was met at the altar 10y the
groom.
After a few appropriate remarks
upon the duties and obligations of the
new life entered npnn. the Reverend
Father pronounced the words that
made the happy couple one.
The bride was handsomely gowned in
white silk mule trimmed with rare old
lace. A veil and wreathe of orange
blossoms served but to add to the
beauty of the fair young bride.
The groom was dressed in cOnven-
tional black.
At the conclusion Of the ceremony a
dinner was rendered the happy couple
at the residence Of Mayor and Mrs. o.
II. Deshotels that was attended by the
following: DR.. and Mrs. Forest, grand

dore and Henry Moncla of Chataignier,

with cut flowers and fairly groaned be-
neatl. the weight of good things that
had been prepared in honor of the occa-
sion.
DR.. Stagg is a rising young physician
and surgeon of st. Landry parish, and
his lovely bride is the accomplished

Mathematics Poor Stomach.

The worn-ont stomach of the over

the evils attendant on he possession of
great wealth. But millionaires are not
the only ones who are afflicted with bad

among the tOilers. Dyspepsia and indi-
