Mr., STAYBOLT ASSANTA CLAUS
Some Things He Would Like to Give
If He Could.

"Do you know the Christmas pres
ent I'd like to make if could?' salu
Mr. Staybolt. I'D like to give cheer
fulness to the downhearted, courage
to the timid, and strength to the weak
the power of self-denial to those WHO
yield too easily, and desire TO WORK
to the lazy.
81 have often thought what a pity
It Is that you can't buy all these
things, these helpful qualities, already
nut up and at such a price as to put
them within the reach of all; canned
cheerfulness, bottled hopefulness'
courage in tablets, and strength say
in the form of powder, and SO on,
or you might, I suppose put ELI dill
I'D canned, for that matter.
But in the absence of such market
nrenarations and our consequent IN
ability to buy such things and send
them as gifts to those whom they
MIGHT most benefit perhaps you Will
hermit me to offer to each a word OF
suggestion.
ITO the dispirited take a cneeriu,
view TO the downhearted, don't owen
on the doleful side. To the tlmld
don't be afraid. To the weak, or those
who fancy themselves so, try your
strength. You'll be surprised to nnc
how much you've got.
To those who yield too easily Gen!
Yourself once, and again, and feel IN,
l iov and strength that will come oac'
, to YOU. To the lazy, get JOB WIN
shovel, in a gang of laborers, under
driving boss; and if you are not sla
-. To get back to your present job to q
the best you know how at it. mis-
3 ~ can't send you these things
e cans or bottles; but If anyone OF 20
). will take my advice and SUCK 10
You'll think that Mr.. staybolt was
n very kind Santa Claus"

Perkins. Mcqueen.

A surprising but wholly pleas
ing event thrilled the community
on Thursday when Miss Matte
Mcqueen and Mr.. Jas. G. Per
kins we're quietly married at
four o'clock, that afternoon at
Grace Church, by the Rev. R. R.
Claiborne. The ceremony was
witnessed by only a few friends.
The BRIDE wore q brown tailor
made suit with hat to match.
Later in the evening, the young
couple drove out to her parents
home, Forest plantation, where q
bountiful family supper was
ready for them. They returned
to town yesterday and will reside
for the present with Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Hochenedel of Bayou
Sara.
The marriage is q complete
Waterloo for the I-told-you-so
fend, for besides the parents
and a favored few, none really
suspected the seriousness OF
their intentions, though their
partiality for each others society
was, evident enough. Both Mr.
and Mrs. Perkins are great so
cial favorites, and have many
friends and relatives to wish
them we'll. The bride is the
| daughter of J. W. Mcqueen the
successful planter, and the
groom is a salesman at M. Cohe1
& Co.'S. large dry goods store il
Bayou Sara. He is member o
the Perkins family, prominen
in both the Felicianas.
: The True Democrat is fond 0
. both and will take the creates
t interest in their future happi
ness and prosperity.
