Smith. Dardenne Wedding.

The wedding of Miss Willie
Hines Smith and James Oar
denne, Of Plaquemine, took place
Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock
at the residence of the brides
mother, Mrs. F. j. Smith in st.
Francisville. The engagement
had not been announced, but the
young mans prediction for the
handsome brunette was apparent
to the most casual observer dur
ing his employment here with
the Bayou Sara Brick Co. Nor
is it surprising that he could not
forget the beautiful girl, though
most of US hardly realized that
she was more than a child.
The wedding was a very sim
pie one. Mr.. A. Villeret, clerk
of court, performed the ceremo'
nv. The bride wore a dainty
and girlish gown of white lawn
elaborated with soft lace and EN-
broidery. Only relatives and 9
few friends were present. The
happy pair left on the L. R. & N
train for their home in Plaque
mine, where they will go to house
keeping at once. Mr.. Dardennt
is a clever and excellent young
man, of pleasing appearance ant
manners, and many of the BRIDE
friends are his also. They con
. graduate him on winning one o
| the prettiest girls that ever live
: in St. F'rancisville. He mus
promise to be very good" t
e continue worthy of her.
!, The True Democrat hopes ths
n they will be very happy an
prosperous.

Mr.. Wickliffe'S Secretary.

Hon. R. G. Wickliffe, congress-
man-elect of this district an
nounces this morning the ap-
pOintment of Thomas Alexander
East, of East Feliciana, as his
private secretary. There was a
large number of applicants for
the position from all parts of the
district, but Mr.. East's friends
presented a strong endorsement
in his behalf, besides claiming,
and quite justly, that as East
Feliciana had given Mr.. Wickliffe
the largest majority of any one
parish in the district, Mr.. East's
appointment would be a just
recognition of the loyal support
which Mr.. Wickliffe received in
the Felicianas.
Mr.. East was born in East
Feliciana on Nov. IA, 1888. He
| is the son of the late Thos. Per-
kins East and Miss Belle No. :
wood, and a grandson of the late
Col. Thos. L. East, who for many
years was clerk of the court in
East Feliciana parish. His grand
father, maternal, was Col. Alex
ander Norwood, of East Felici
ana. He is related to the Trotter
Du Bose, White, Wall and other
prominent families of East Fell
ciana.
Although young in years, Mr.
East is an expert stenographel
and has held positions of trus
} and Importance at Wilson, La
and Vicksburg, Miss. Mr.. Eas
t was educated at the Louisian
State University and is also
graduate of Soule.

MAY FORM
NEW BOARD
Of TRADE
If Goodall is Re- elected
Sentiment of Oppo-
sitiOn.

Should r. E. Goodall, president Of
the chamber of commerce, be. re-
elected to office in that oreaniza-
ton, number of business men, de-
clared to represent some of the
largest business interests of the
city, will Withdraw their support
and membership from that body.
This is in accordance with state,
ment made by influential business
men of Spokane today.
Aside from these, there are
known to be various men of less
influence in Spokane's business
realm who will withdraw their sup
port because of alleged dissatisfac-
ton with Mr.. Goodall. There is a
possibility of the formation of a
new business mems organization,
of trade, by this seeding faction of
the present chamber of commerce,
should Goodall be reelected presi-
dent or general manager, such as is
now being proposed by his friends.
Among those most stoutly OPP
posed to Mr., Goodall's reelection
into the chamber of commerce are
generally to be found the fast
friends of Congressman Poindexter.
Gathering little here and a little
there, it is evident from the atti-
tude of Goodalls opponents that
they are impressed with the belief
that Goodall used his official capa-
city as representative of the Spo-
kane business men in opposing
PoindeXter few months ago; Gre
ating considerable seemingly in.
eradicable enmity between the
congressman and others of the ma
tons prominent politicians.

If you can imagine the family OF
the "Old Woman Who Lived in a
Shoe then you can imagine the
celebration at the orphanage. II
was as one big family. At noon the
50 children, ranging in age from
one and a half to IA years, were
served bounteous dinner.
In the evening they were assem-
bled In the kindergarten room
where they had beautiful Christ
mas tree loaded with gifts for the
boysf and girls.
Through the generosity of some
Spokane women and friends of the
homeless children, each child was
remembered with three or -four
presents and many little hearts
were made glad by the realization
of their dreams.
After all there is nothing which
makes the yuletide SO happy as the
joy of giving and the satisfaction
of making others happy, especially
the children.

again, with the same Joy and happy
remembrance as on former occa-

PARKS
UNION LABOR ENDORSES
THE $1,000, 1000 PARK
BOND ISSUE.

Union labor is In favor of
better parks for Spokane. The
Spokane park board may still
get that 100000 bond issue
which was turned down at the
last municipal election. The
labor unions have now ex-
pressed themselves as defin-
iteIy in favor of the bonds.
At the meeting Of the central
labor council last nigh treso-
Iutions favorins the issue of the
bonds were passed. The dele
gates to the council expressed
themselves as favorable to the
proposition.
The action was taken upon a
communication and set Of
resolutions sent by the board
to the labor men. After some
discussion the resolutions we're
adopted as they came from the
board.
This is the same question
which came up before the CEN
trial council some months ago.
At that time the unions did not
Sc fit to take hold of the mat
ter actively, although the most
