in Vidalia Saturday afternoon, April
Both, at 8 O'Clock, when Mr.. Jno.
w. Conner and Miss Ludie Graves
were married by DR.. j. j. Chisolm,
of Natchez. The ceremony occurred
at the home of the groom's brother,
Mr.. H. B. Conner, cashier of the
Bank of Vidalia, and was a very
quiet affair, owing to the illness of
the BRIDES mother. The groom is
a promising young man, popular
with all who know him, while his
bride, who is from Fayette, Miss,
is a pretty and attractive young
lady. The Sentinel wishes them a
long and prosperous voyage through
life.
st. Joseph enjoyed the honor of
a visit on Thursday and Friday from
the Ri. Rev. Bishop Van de Ven of
Natchitoches, who came on invita-
ton of Rev. Father Degnan, Rector
of st. Joseph church, to admins
ter the sacriment of confirmation to
class composed of Misses Beatrice,
Ethel, Elizabeth and Florence Thorn
burg and Elise Hazlip and Mr.. Sam
Hazlip. At this service the Bishop
delivered very strong sermon, full
ly explaining the significance and
importance of the Rites of Confirm
alton.
On Friday night the Bishop de-
livered a most interesting and i'm
pressive lecture at the Court House
that approached the dignity and
depth of sermon and was attentive
ly received by a large and intelli-
gent audience, whose untiring inter-
est was best marked by the rapt at
tention accorded the speaker thro'-
out the very able discourse, at the
conclusion of which many express
sions of pleasure and appreciation
were offered alike by Protestants and
Catholics.
AS was to have been expected the
representatives of the st. Joseph
High School acquitted themselves
most creditably in the Rally Day
exercises at Baton Rouge last week.
Mr.. Sam Hazlip in the 22O yard
low hurdles won third place in
80 1-5 seconds, and would certain
ly have won first but for the acct
dent of tripping on last hurdle. He
also made the 100 yard obstacle
race in 55 seconds, again gaining
third place. His speed, however,
was best shown in the 80 and 100
yard dashes, which he clipped off
in 6 2-5 and IL 2-5 seconds respect
lively. His record at this meet won
for him two certificates which will
be of advantage when he enters l..
