Yesterday in Shreveport at the home of
the brides father, Rev. J. M. Brown, Miss
Sallie M. Brown was united in marriage to
Mr.. R. P. Newton, Mr.. Brown performing
the ceremony.
Until recently the groom merchandised
at Yellow Pine, but he and Mrs. Newton
will make their home in Doyline, his
former place of residence. He is man
of prominence in the social and CONNER
cial world and in his home community
numbers his friends by scores.
The brides father was resident minister
in Benton for eight years, and the young
lady is we'll known, admired and loved by
many of our readers. AS both assistant
teacher and principal in our high school
she attained marked success. She is of a
lovable disposition, refined and cultured.
Her many friends here and living else
where in the parish are loath to part with
her, but one and all congratulate Mr..
Newton over his good fortune.
The writer extends his best wishes and
will be joined in his expression of good
feeling by many who see this in print.
Long live you and yours, Mr.. Newton, and

lesson that many elder and wiser, have no
yet learned, but which was said to be the
beginning of wisdom-loving the Lord.
Our little brother did not grapple with that
grim monster for long, but long enough
to win victory over it. On Thursday he
was learning the lesson Of development
in earth's school,; the following Satur-
day he was in that great school above,
learning more perfectly that beautiful les
son Of love to God, and praises to the
Lamb. Weep not, parents, as for one that
was lost, but if you weep, let it be for more

Thouuhtless Clerks.

Every business has good will cap.
and every satisfied customer is feath-
er in that cap. Trained men at high
salaries are employed to keep tightly
in place the feathers that are already
there and to add new feathers. 1t Is
the advertising department that is
most conspicuOusly engaged in the
feathering process. while the adjusting
department is most Enthusiastically
employed in keeping the pums firmly
anchored. Both of these depart ments
are maintained at a large proportion
ate expense, which goes to show the
value Of feathers. Who, then, in the
organization OF business could be
miscellaneous enough to pluck the feath-
ers from the good will cap? Who, in
deed? Yet all day long here and there
throughout some stores peck, peck,
peck. 80 ruthless beaks, impelled by
raven brains in the heads OF vacuous

Painful.

A little story comes from way back
concerning Forrest, the tragedian.
1t was during his last appearance
at Niblo's Garden, in New York At
the time he was suffering untold tor
ture from the govt. a sort Of run
way had to be constructed from the
stage to the dressing room, for he was
quite unable to step up or down stairs.
The performance had been "COrio-
lanus," and Forrest was petulant from
pain and tired with his work. He
stumbled against the runway, causing
such a twinge in his toe as to make
him cry out with the pain.
A young actor standing by unfOrtu-
nately addressed the tragedian at the
wrong time, saying:
Dear me, Mr.. Forrest. that must
have been exceedingly painful"
"Not half so painful as your acting
was the crusty response.

"Never Too Late to Mend"

Most of us associate the phrase Its
never too late to mend with Charles
Reade's famous novel, and very like
~ some Of US think he invented it.
But it is really one Of the most an
cient gems of popular philosophy. A
correspondent Of London Notes and
Queries has discovered it in a petition
from the commonalty to the mayor
and aldermen OF the city in 1888. 1t
must have been of n respectable age
even then. seeing that it is quoted as
one Of the proverbs" of the period.
