The Experience of Avoye!les.

Our secretary is in receipt Of
a letter from J. w. Joffrion OF
Marksville, La, district attorney
of Avoyelles parish, giving his
opinion of prohibition in that
parish. The letter reads:
DEAR MADAM:
Yours of the 9Th inst. duly
received. [ note that you are in
the midst of a fight for prohibi-
ton. Avoyelles Parish voted
prohibition in the year 1900, and
to this date I don't think that it
has cause to regret it's step. AT
ter experiencing both license and
prohibition, the last vote taken
by the parish on the question
evidenced the popularity of pro-
hibition in AvoyeIles. This vote
was taken in 1906, after six years
trial of prohibition, and the re-
suit of the election was approx
mately nine votes for prohibition
to one for license.
In my capacity as District At
torney I have had the opportuni-
ty to see the full effects of liquor
and the good results of prohibi-
ton. Under the prohibition re-
gime | have found a decided de-
crease in the commission of
crime. I went into Office just as
prohibition began. I remember
the first five felony cases which I
had. 1t was just on the heels of

r.Krumbhaar Wedding.

The marriage of Miss Marga
ret Minor of Terrebonne parish
and Mr.. Charles Krumbhaar was
celebrated Wednesday evening
in New Orleans at the home of
Miss Minors aunt, Miss Kate
Minor, in Napoleon avenue. The
wedding although very quiet was
of much social interest, uniting
as it did two of the most promi-
nent families in the state. Only
the relatives of the bride and
bridegroom and the most init
mate friends of both were among
the wedding guests. The cere-
mony was performed by the Rev.
Gardner l.. Tucker of Houma,
La, at 6 o'clock in the evening.
Mr.. Penn Krumbhaar was his
brothers best man and Miss
Mary Minor, the brides sister,
was her maid of honor. The
young couple left Immediately
after the informal reception
which followed the ceremony for
San Francisco, whence they will
sail for Hawaii. They will reside
for the next two years in Hama,
kautoko, on the island of Maui,
where Mr.. Krumbhaar is in
business.
