new coke ovens very shortly The

tons.
There are sixty-five coke ovens and
they occupy twenty three acres of the
thirty acres of filled in land made by
the dredge New York and located to
the south and east of the blast fur

SUPPL IANTS ROUT
MRS. GARY
Stay in Chicago Becomes a
Nightmare of Telephone
Calls.

New York, Oct. 2S.-Constant ringing
of the telephone bell and scores of
messages that ended with pathetic ap-
peals for charity drove Mrs. Ebert H.
Gary from Chicago to New York. Not
that the wife of the head of the United
States Steel corporation is not charit-
able-she is, and therein lies the secret
of her flight. The Garys arrived today
and took up quarters that have tele-
phone connection. They will remain
for the winter.
Asked why his wife had fed SO sud-
denly from Chicago. Mr.. Gary said:
1T may seem strange to you. but the
telephone bell actually drove her away.
1t rang at all hours of the day and
night. There was not a moments rest.
Hard to Refuse Appeals.
+ Every tinlxle of the bell announced
an appeal for contributions Tor some
charity. They were all such earnest
appeals that it was almost Impossible
TO refuse.
'She stood it as long as she could
and then to protect her nerves we
had the telephone taken out. At last
were able to get a good nights rest
But the appeals came in other ways
and simply swamped us, so we came
to New York"
1t was Mrs. Gary's reputation as q
liberal siver to charity that started the
stream of appeals. She has been identi-
fed with many of the great national
philanthropic movements
Mail Occupies Several Secretaries.
Mrs. Gary was held up In hotel cor
ridors and ca rds enough to fill a bushe
basket were sent up to her rooms every
day. Her mail was SO large that hal
a dozen persons would have been need.

COlIiHS-Kemper.

The marriage of Mr.. Robert

q member of the Barton family of
Lafourche. The groom is we'll
known throughout the State as the
able assistant supervisor of public
accounts during the administra-
ton of Governor Sanders, and
under the present administration.
He is son of the late Captain w.
R. Collins, who served with great
bravery in the Cival war-first in
the celebrated Dreaux Battalion
and subsequently in Vinson
Scouts.
Never was a more beautiful
wedding witnessed in Franklin.
The crowded church was brilliant.
ly illuminated, and beautifully
decorated with the sweetest
flowers.
AS the bridal procession entered
Gods house moving to the strains
of sacred music and melody, lead
ing the way-and as the fair
young woman passed through
this bewildering scene of lowell
ness and beauty to take her place
by the side of him who before the
holy altar awaited her cooming,
every heart there beat with the
sacred influence of the old, old
sweet music of love-always
beautiful and new, and when the
solemn nuptial benediction was
pronounced, and as they twain,
one in love, in hope and in destiny,
hand in hand and heart in heart
passed joyously "Neath floral
arches" out into the world-their
now blissful world-to solve to-
gether the mission and destiny of
life, the earnest and tender prayer
for success, swelling up from every
heart, went with them.
Such is the sincere wish of the
BANNER. May their journey
through life lead them ia paths
where the flowers of happiness
ever bloom-where the shadows
never fall, and where the, sweet
and trustful communion of gym
pathies ever lead to and bless q
life Of complete love and faith and
Joy.

Death Of Judge Jas. G. Patterson.

Judge James r. Patterson, a
native of St. Mary Parish, died At
Lafayette on Wednesday last at
the advanced age of 81 years
Born here in the year 1929, he
reached his early manhood before
the ending of the first half of the
last century. He was one among
the foremost who made the history
of Franklin. He saw it grow, and
helped it to grow, from a little
village of a few buildings to it's
present wealth and population
He held the Office of Recorder in
the Parish of ST. Mary continu-
ously for thirty years. He re-.
moved to Lafayette in the year
1880. There he was connected
with the Louisiana Western Rail-
road then being built-now part
of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
He was for a number of years
general agent of the Morgan's,
Louisiana and Texas Railroad.
In late years he was agent of the
Pacific improvement Company
and vice.president of the First
National Bank of Lafayette He
was the father OF Gen. Jno. r.
Parkerson, late of this parish, now
d resident of the city of Baton
Rouge. Judge Parkerson was a
Confederate soldier, having served
in the St. Mary Cannoneers, and
as Quartermaster of the Second
Louisiana Cavalry to the end OF
the war between the States.
By the death of Judge Parker
son another one of the few that
remain of the old school of South
err gentlemen has passed away.
He leaves a large family of chill
dren and great.grand children to
mourn for him. To them the
BANNER tenders it's deepest
sympathy.
