both MAYOR
AND CLERK
Give Covington the Slip and
Marry in New Orleans.
A Double Wedding at St.
Theresa s Church.
Ending With a Dinner at the
Monteleone Hotel
And a Luncheon Next Day
at Spanish Fort.

A double wedding occurred al St.
Theresa's church in New Orleans,
last Saturday. Rev. Father Molo of
ficiating, in which the people of Cow
ington are more than usually inter-
ested, from the fact that one of the
grooms is mayor of Covington and
the other town clerk.
We never thought that such promi-
nent officials of our town would ever
run away from us to get married,
and we can only justify their con-
duet by the suggestion that they
must be much more timid in matri-
mcniaf affairs than in politics. But
while Covington may feel the hu-
initiation of having been discarded
OF such an important occasion, the
additional influence in the establish
ment of the much-needed Office of
vital statistics. the Importance of
which it has hitherto been so diff
cult to impress, may do much to heal
the wound.
The weddings were those OF DR..
F.. G. Marrero, mayor ofkCovington,
to Widow Charles Thiery, and N. nj.
Hebert, town clerk, to Widow Paul
SECOND. The Mayor stated that while
his marriage was in anticipation for
seTe time, its immediate occurrence
was due to the request his secretary,
Town Clerk N. M. Hebert, several
days ago for leave of absence. When.
he learned that the object of that
leave was the marriage of Mr.. Hebert
TO Mrs. SECOND, he made up his mind
that If MrS Thiery would consent to
an mediate marriage there should
Be doubls instead ola single we'd,
Sn dIIig Y a conference resulted favor-
Miss Nellie Kelley went with 7eHthhi
and stood for both couples.
After the wedding dinner was
served at the Monteleone Hotel and
OH Sunday at Spanish Fort, where
lyery pleasant time was enjoyed, after
which the happy couples returned to
Covington, where they received
seedlings and congratulations from
their many friends.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

Attention is called to the changes
in the schedule of the st. Tammany
and New Orleans Railways and Ferry
Company. Cars leave terminals on
the half hour instead of on the hour
as heretofore, an hourly achedule is
run in the afternoons, and late car
, leaves Vaudeville at 1000 p. m. and
(Ccvington at 1900 p. m. THESE
changes enable close connection to
! be made with boats to and from New
| Orleans, and give the patrons hve
more trips day each way.

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING.

Editor Farmer:
Much has been written ON this
subject, but all wide of the mark.
On January l, 1911, there were l.
000,O03 drummers. Since then six
have died and Is have been appoint
ed. SO there are now 1,000,013 3
drumnlers, or hand-shaking nui-
sances. 100000 would be ample to
do the work, we'll throw in the odd
number, leaving 100000 unneces-
sary drummers-oh! beg your
pardon, "traveling men," For it is
as wrong to call a dummer a
drummer as it is to call cambillite
Campbillite. The average cost oil
drummer to his house is $1,000 9
day. Do you see the point! We are
paying $9,000,000 a day for unneces
sary drummers.

leans little more than a week ago
and happened to meet H. L. Himel,
an attorney, and j. B. Dornier, chief
deputy sheriff, and candidate for
sheriff, who are the leaders Of the
voters rs and Joe Gnglielmo, candidate
for assessor They told him they had
ccme to confer with the Governor,
and asked him to join them. On
the train that night when he return
ing home he met them again, and
they told him they had seen the
Governor, and that he had promised
20 give the Himel-Dornier faction the
appointments in St.James. you've
been oposing u.s." one of them said
to Poche, :" and unless you take Off
your coat and line up you'll be kick
ed out" Dornier told him that he
had been authorized by the Governor
to notify him (Poche) 70 be in
Baton Rouge the following Tuesday
night and report to Gov. Sanders.
There will be no further notice to
you, either" Dornier is said to have
| added
Tuesday night Poche, prepared to
obey this reported behest of the Gov
ernor, boarded the train at Lutscher
Dornier got on at Convent They
continued on to Baton Rouge, and
Dcrnier was one of those present
wien the interview between Poche
and the Governor took place. The
Governor, according to reports, told
Poche that Dornier and certain OF
Dornier's adhereants in St. James
had offered him (the Governor) theil
support, and that he had accepted it
Dornier has always lined up with
the Governor. but the adhereant:
spoken of had been rather uncertain
so this was given to Poche by way
OF explanation. DOrnier and hi!
! friends, the Governor continued
!, would get all the appointments, so h,
J wanted Poche to line up with tina
, faction. Poche had been a Sanders
, man, but he was supporting hi
cousin, Chris Roussel, against Dorm
ier for sheriff. He told the Govern
! or that he couldn't support Dornier
: as Dornier had voted for the Re
} publican nominee in the last con
gressional election. Dornier said h
voted for Dupre, the Democratic can
5 didate. 81 can't tell how you cas-
your ballot replied Poche, ''as tn
: ballot is secret. but know that yo
, supported Loisel." He continued t
4 speak his mind freely, and while th
: Governor is said to have given hir
three days to make up his mind t
support the Dornier-Himel faction, G
e something would happen not exactl
to his advantage, he and the other
S who took part in the conference le
e on apparently good terms. Dornit
/. and Poche even went back to S
James together, it is said.
}. On reaching his home town of Be

70 the Governor, and it was suggest,

DIVORCE PROBLEM EASY.
Time When Separation Coupon Ma!
be Attached to Certificate.

From the Forum.
Nowhere in the United States is divorce
SO costly that only the rich can buy JUS
tice. Nowhere does divorce mean to a
good mother the loss of her children. A
comparison of the laws of Europe and
the laws of the United States invites the
question. On which side of the world is a
loftier ideal of marriage shown? Where
are the rights of women and children the
better protected?
The solution of our divorce problem lies
in securing a better relation between
men and women in ever department OF
life 1t is an anomaly in this republic
that there should be any distinctions or
account of sex. 1t is absurd that women
should receive lower wages than men
for equal work performed or equal serv-
ice given. 1t is unfair to deny women
their share in public housekeeping. 1t is
unjust to tax them and at the same time
refuse them citizenship.
American women are as we'll educated
as intelligent, as moral, as conscientious
and. within their opportunities, as eff
cient as American men. Once this is fully
recognized; once the last vestige of sex
prejudice and sex contempt vanishes from
custom and from the statute books
once the same standard of morals is rec.
ognized in society as it is in the law
once it is made at least as easy for
women as for men to earn an honorable
living; once marriage on absolutely equal
terms is made possible-no moral OF
physical advantage on the side of the
husband. no parasitism allowed on the
part of the wife-then it will be perfectly
safe to attach a divorce coupon to every
marriage certificate with permission for
both parties to tear it of at will.

RATES FOR TINE FUNDS FALL
Advances of Between One and Two
Points In Most Stocks-NOrfolk and
Western Makes Another Big Gain.
Buying of Steel Common By Large
Interests Continues.

New York, Jan. T.-There was to-day
the broadest and strongest security mar
ket seen since the beginning of the pres
ent year. The rise was most notable, ma
turally. in stocks. but in bonds, too, a
new record for the year. in point of VOL
ume of transactions, was made, and the
upward tendency was no less pronounced
than in the market for shares proper.
Two considerations seemed to be at the
bottom of to-day's results-one the ex-
treme ease that has developed, and the
other the highly favorable impression
made upon investors and spectators
alike by the Improvement in the coun-
ury'S foreign trade.
As regards money, rates for time funds
to-day fell one quarter Of l per cent for
nHariy all dates. so that funds were lent

ures comparatively little higher for

Grain Markets Stronger.
The grain markets were a little stronger
to-day. having been weak for a couple
of days previous.
Advances of between one and two points
were so common in stocks as to de-
prlFe the movements of any particular
feature Mention must be made, how
ever, of net gain of 3ai points in
Norfolk and Western common following
upon an advance of rs points yesterday,
and based. as was yesterdays rise,
upon rumors varying from supposed ad-
vance in the Norfolk and Western divi-
dend rate to 6 per cent TO a possible lease

Pennsylvania railroad through the me
dium of Pennsylvania subordinate cor
poraton the Pan Handle.
Activity in steel.
Buying of steel common was also ac-
lively conducted. Spectators for the de-
cline are many of them engaged in
fighting the rise in this particular stock
because of their inability to discover any
change for the better in the iron and
steel situation. But il is believed that
recent buying of the stock has been for
he account of large financial interests
and has been based upon the proof given
