Observation-Disclosures.

The wedding of Miss Bertha Love
Plaisance to Rufus Breitling was sol
emnized at the Catholic church last
Saturday forenoon at IL O'Clock, and
was very lovely affair in every de-
tail. The ceremony which made the
happy couple man and wife was per-
formed by Rev. J. M. T. Massardier in
the presence of large assemblage OF
relatives and friends, and was most
impressive and beautiful. The bride
; was attended by her sister. Miss Rose
Plaisance, while the groom had as his
best man Louis Sch arfschwerdt, the
other attendants being Fl. Miller and
Miss Mabel Thibodaux and John Bar
tells and Miss Anna Schepp:
After the ceremony the bridal party
were driven to the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Prosper Plaisance on ST. Emma
plantations where delightful recep.
ton and dinner was rendered them.
Later Mr.. and Mrs. Breitling drove to
Donaldsonyil1e and boarded the after
noon train for New Orleans, from
whence they departed for two weeks
honeymoon trip to Florida.
The bride is the charming daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Prosper Plaisance,
and is young woman of rare accom-
plishments and attractive personality,
possessing numerous virtues of mind
and person which have endeared her
to all who have the plasure of knowing
her. The groom is chief clerk to j.
Kemp RfdgeIy, division passenger
agent of the L. and N. Railway, and
is young man of marked ability and
vide. popularity. Upon their return
from Florida Mr.. and Mrs. Breitling
will take up their residence in New
Orleans.
The Chief joins their many friends
in extending them hearty congratula-
tions and cordial good wishes for
long and happy married life.

A Destructive Storm.

Shortly before O'Clock Tuesday
morning Donaldsonville was visited
by wind of cyclonic velocity, accom-.
panied by terrific hail storm, a
brilliant electrical display and a tor
rent al rain. The disturbance contin
ued for about half an hour, and was
climaxed with a tornado-like gust of
wind which uprooted trees and shrubs,
bowled over lenses, tore down in
secure signs and ''played the deuce"
generally. The big frame building in
Opelousas street known as the Knights
of Labor hall and used as private
school for negroes, was blown from
its six-foot found ations and toppled
over on to a small frame cottage stand
ing in the next lot, the latter structure
being partially crushed by the impact
A negro family of three people who
were residing in the school building
were caught in the ruins, and as the
doors and windows were jammed when
the structure turned over they were
unable to make their way out Neigh
bors rescued them within short while,
however, and it was found that by a
miraculous chance all of them had es-
capped injury.
The hail stones which fell during the
storm we're as large as pigeons eggs,
and great damage was done to win
dows and vegetable crops by the frozen
missiles.

Returning Immigrants.


It appears from recent statement
issued by the Department of Commerce
and Labor that in the twelve months
ending October /, 1908. Immigrants to
the number of 724, III came into this
country, while TT .8l4 returned to their
former homes.
It would be both interesting and in
struetive If We could know how much
money those returning carried with
them. There Is no question but that
the drain of cash was considerable,
and in the condition in which our Fl.
nances were during that year this was
al item to be reckoned with. It is
pretty safe to assume that few, if any,
failed to carry some cash, and it is
probable that the majority carried
several hundred dollars each. On the
other hand, it Is by no means lmprob.
able that very large proportion OF
the more desirable of those returning
home will come again to our shores
and bring families with them. Future
developments and investigation may
lead to conclusions regarding this
changing tide of United States imni-
grafton that are not apparent at first
blush.

Law abiding people all over the
country will view with satisfaction the
outcome Of the trial OF eight of the in
famous night riders of the Reelfoot
Lake district of Obion county, Tenn,
who so brutally murdered Capt. Quen-
tin Rankin several months ago. Six
of the assassins have been found
guilty of murder in the first degree,
which entails the death sentence, and
two are convicted of murder in the
second degree, with punishment fixed
at twenty years in the penitentiary.
Although one of the jurors developed
a case of measles during the closing
days Of the trial and had to be carried
in and out of the courtroom, he pluck
lily stuck to his duty until the celebra-
ted case was brought to close. This
is notable victory for law, order and
civil cation, and it was needed to
make obion county fit place for hui
man habitation.

'sHooligan in New York" thrill
ing four act comedy drama, will be
seen at the Con dram theatre next Mon
day night, the 18th inst. It is said to
tell consistent story aud is as full OF
laughs and tears as any play e7er
staged. The author, Sam Morris, has
taken for his theme the incidents made
famous in cartoons of 'Hooligan'
and has woven around the char acter 3
story OF metropolitan life that is
unique in the manner Of handling and
presentation. Any story that deals
with the mysteries of New York life
has peculiar element Of interest in
it. In spite of the newspapers, the
police courts and the city authorities,
hundreds of crimes are committed that
are never heard of, hundreds of dramas
in real life are enacted proving that
TRUTHS sometimes stranger than fiction.
Here and there in the newspapers you
may see a paragraph th at puzzles you.
Could you solve the mystery you
might tell story of human passion
and interest, of love and hate as
strange as any evolved by drama
list. Such a story Is "Hooligan in
New York" and the author has not
gone far field IN plot and situation,
to tell his tale.
The locale is laid among the Ten
derloin resorts of G otbam and some of
the equally notorious landmarks
of the seamy lower east side, which
include the once dreaded Five.Points, a
Chinese opium den; Cherry street at
night, showing a view of the Brooklyn
bridge illuminated; thieves den; ex-
terror of the Tombs prison, and the
historic bridge of signs" OF course,
'Hooligau" is the central figure OF 1t

their efforts to obtain the fortune of

times and at others equally sensa.

is the rescue of ''Hooligan' in the

"Mrs. Temples Telegram" the ia
nous farce comedy which had such a
record breaking run in New York city
and Chicago, will be the attraction at
the Gondran theatre on Sunday, Jan.
II. AS healthy, fun-provoking
farce, bubbling over with laughable
situations at every turn, this noted
production is superior to any play OF
it's kind produced in. recent years, and
is being greeted with crowded houses
in every city where it appears. It is a
succession of complications of the
most absurd kind founded on an in,
nocent falsehood originally told by
Mr.. Temple in order to save himself
from the wrath of his wife, and is re-
plete with funny stu ations ard side
splitting climaxes. Don't fail to see it.

years and assisted in building the
home in which he spent the remainder
of his life.
He was married to Miss Henrietta

golden wedding anniversary of the
we'll mated and devoted pair was cele-
brated with much eclat three years
ago. Mr.. Lusk was elected to the Office

pacity to the time of his death. He
was veteran of the civil war, having
fought In the Confederate army during
the entire period of the sanguinary
struggle.
His death, while not untimely,

which he lived and carried lasting
sorrow to the hearts of an exception
ally wide circle of friends and &C
quaintances. He is survived by his
wife, one daughter, Mrs. NJ. E. Bar
man, and a granddaughter, Miss Idle
O. Barman.
