Guidry--WaIIior.

On monday evening Miss Edna
Wallior and Mr.. Adam Guidry
were married at the st. Landry
Catholic Church, Rev. Father
Engberink, officiating, in the
presence of a few members of
the respective families. The in
vitations were sent out to the
effect that the wedding would
take place at $50 Tuesday morn
ing, but the couple getting the
''cold feet, = decided that they
would get married on Monday
evening to evade the crowd that
was expected to be present at
the ceremony.
Mr.. Guidry, fearing that a
crowd would be at the depot to
see them off on the evening
tram, asked Mr.. William Stew
art to bring his suit cases to the
Southern Pacific depot and to be
very careful not to let any one
see him with them. But Mr..
Stewart thinking that he would
play q joke on his friend, Adam,
passed through town and filled
up his automobile with boys and
went to the S. P. depot to bid
the newly-weds goodbye, but
upon their arrival at the depot
they discovered that the bridal
pair had slipped one on them
and had bearded the evening
train for Baton Rouge.
The entire affair was con-
Quoted in a puzzled manner, but
the couple had a time getting
away from the watehful eyes
Of their many friends. 9 q

Some OF the people here sale
that they could not vote for the
tax since they could not see how
they could be personally bene-
flied Out of it. What a foolish
thing to say! Why the most IL
lliterate person in existence
could, almost without a thought,
see that a person who has the
welfare of his community at
heart should not beso selfish as
to say that If it did not greatly
benefit him personally he would
not vote a tax, which meant a
source of great deal of good to
his community and fellowmen.
A tax like the Traction Com
pany's, if it does not benefit one
personally it is a sure thing that
it is because he does not want it
to be of any use to him, and If
he does not get dollars and cents
out of the company, he will have
the service and conveniences,
which that enterprise will be
built for. In short, there is no
fear that a tax like the Traction
Company's or the good roads
tax will injure or impoyerish any
one person in the entire parish
of st. Landry.
By voting that tax on last
Tuesday the people of Opelousas
have rendered themselves the
greatest service that they ever
have in all their lives. When
the electric line will have been
completed they will more fully
realize what a good turn they
have done for their city and
those few who voted against the
tax will open their eyes and see
that they have made a mistake.
Every man has a right to have
an opinion Of his own, and those
who voted against the Traction
Company's tax, did really and
conscientiously think that they
were right in voting down the
tax, but It is hoped that they
will at some future date COM
prehend differently and will ever
afterwards feel that it is better
to stand for progressive prin-
ciples.
The election day was very
quiet, although there was a |
great deal of excitement around
six o'clock, as then the votes for
the tax began to pour in and a !
victory for the progressives was
certain.
Mr.. Shackford, Superintend- |
ent of the Louisitna Traction
Power Company, was very well |
pleased over the outcome of the
election and he himself said that |
he would start on the construc-
lion Of his road as soon as he
possibly could and would make
] headway for this city. He
hopes to have the entire road
completed and in running order
within the next few months.
When all the ballots were
counted it was discovered that
he tax had passed very easily
With 230 votes in favor of it and
Is against, while the prorerty
was over $500, 900. 90
or and about SAG, 600. 90 against.

of Remembrance a success.

pROGRESSIVES WON
OUT EASILY TUESDAY
Tuesdays Election Big Victory For Traction Tax
230 Votes Cast For the Tax
And 10 Against.

On Tuesday the citizens O
Opelousas showed the world tha
they were as progressive as any
in the world. For years Opelou
sas has been considered one ol
the most retrogressive cities II
I the state on account of the few
tax payers who held every wei
1 fare of the city in their hands
and would never sacrifice then
selfish interests to allow then
town to grow into a large city,
what Opelousas would now be,
but on the contrary as often as
this city would have the oppor-
tunity of securing an enterprise
which would mean the up-build-
| ing of this community, these
men would go out and wage a
terrible fight against whatsoever
enterprise, which would en-
deavor to enter the gates of Ope-
lousas. However, that time has
passed and now we people of the
little city of Opelousas are be-
ginning to realize that our city
has a great future in store for
her, by the very fact that the
first step to a progressive career
was taken last Tuesday when the
Louisiana Traction and Power
Company's two and one-half mill
tax passed by a great majority.
In the early part of the day the
voting was going on very slowly
and the boosters Of the Traction
company began to fear that the
necessary amount of votes could
not be gotten. But in the after
noon these few men got together
and in the space of a few minutes
there was a crowd of voters who
rushed in at the twelfth hour to
cast their votes in favor of the
tax. The lack of interest taken
in the election in the early part
of the day was due to the fact
that the voters who had to work
were of the opinion that there
would be no difficulty Whatso-
evers In getting the necessary
amount of voters. But to be on
the safe side the admirers of the
Louisiana Traction and Power
Company went out and hustled,
and to them Mr.. Shackford and
the citizens of Opelousas owe
great debt of gratitude, as they
are the ones who secured this
enterprise for Opelousas.
Not one cent Of this tax will
be collected until h e elec-
tric road is actually constructed
and in running order. There is
hope that by the beginning of
next year Opelousas will be con-
nected with the other little cities
and towns around here by the
Louisiana Traction and Power
Company. This move is the first
step to securing something oct
ter for this community and 1t is
now that the progress
sive element has shown itself to
be the more powerful of the two,
that Opelousas will not stop at |
the Louisiana Traction and |
Power Company, but go on ever
with their head up in the air and a |
determination of go-forWardhess.
If this is done this city will one
lay be the ideal little city of any
state, or as far as is concerned,

| He HGlle IeIlOW VINO cauSeC
SO much anxiety and worry, some
eight months ago. when for {
week the 0'Gee was running
from one to two special trains
to SWayze lake each day,
crowded with men from Opelou-
sas and vicinity, who went out
there, some spending one day,
others a couple and some more,
but they were all looking for the
same thing. With anxious and
everWatchful eyes they kept on
eagerly peeping into the under
brush, in sthe canebrakes, even
diving into the lake searching
for the little fellow, whose name
has been in every, lip in this city
and almost on every mouth in
the United States the little hoy
who caused so much excitement
and rejoicing in this city yester-
day afternoon when the evening
Southern Pacific came in-little
Robert Dunbar.
1t has at LAST come to pass that
the little fellow who disappeared
SO suddenly at Swayze lake, DUR
ing the month of August, from
his parents fishing camp and
whom all thought dead at the
bottom of the lake, was not dead
but is alive and in the hands of
his parents, who have spent
their every dollar for the pur-
of bringing back the lost boy to
those who love him dearly.
Now that the battle is won
and little Robert is no longer in
the hands of vile kidnapers the
entire city of Opelousas, as well
the states of Louisiana and
Mississippi, rejoice alike with
Mr.. and Mrs. Percy Dunbar for
the restoration Of the little tot.
who had a rough road to travel
for the last eight months, and
whom the whole world thought
dead.
The people Of Columbia and
Hub, Miss, are the ones who
are responsible for the capture
Of Walters, the stove-pipe
mender, who had Robert Dun
bar in charge, and whom it is
alleged is the kidnaper of the
little ..sellow. When Opelousas
had almost given up the fight,
these people still had IN mind
the missing boy and kept their
eyes on every tramp who had a
child with him, stopping each
and every one and putting him
a severe ordeal of ques-
tions. They were the ones who I
notifed Mr.. Dunbar of the fact /
that there was a tramp in that
vicinity who had a little boy
whose description followed to
The letter that of Robert Dun
oar. To these people Mr.. Dun
BAR as well as the citizens of
will be very grateful.
Mayor E. L. Loeb sent a tele-
gram, in behalf of the popula-
ion of this city, thanking the
citizens of Columbia for all they
nave done in the last week for
Mr and Mrs Dunbar and the I

Duri0--Long.

Mr.. Eddie Durio, the popular
clerk at the Lacombe Hotel,
went to the Crescent City on
Wednesday to get him a charm
ing and fascinating little wife.
The wedding of Miss Hazel Long
and Mr.. Eddie Durio took place
in New Orleans on April 23d.
Upon their arrival in Opelou-
sas on Thursday the wedding
couple discovered there was a
a big banquet being prepared in
their honor at the Lacombe Ho-
tel, one of the best hotels in this
portion of the state. At this
elaborate spread were the many
friends of Mr.. Durio and his
loving wife. Had the weather
not been so bad there would have
been three times the amount of
people who participated in the
grand affair.
The entire community con-
graduates Mr.. Durio in having
as hislife- long companion one
of the sweetest of the New Or
leans bellies.

event.
/ (Sgd) E. L. LOEB,
Mayor of Opelousas.
In this telegram Mayor Loeb
voiced the sentiment of every
mother, and father, as well as
every citizen of this community.
Long before the Southern Pa
.clfic two-thirty evening train
pulled in Opelousas there was a
crowd OF several hundred peo-
pie at the station, patiently
waiting the advent of little Rob
ert Dunbar in his native city.
The brass band was on hand and
produced some very pretty
pieces, thereby keeping the
crowd in happy mood.
When the train came in at
about 2::35 the fire whistle and
the different whistles in the city
began blowing for the appear
ance of the boy who was lost in
the iungles near Swayzee lake
in the month of August. The
crowd began to cheer, as little
Robert Dunbar was lifted off
the train and carried to the FIRE
truck, by Mr.. Paul Mizzi. The
poor little fellow was so fright
ened by the noise, which the
enthusiastic on-lookers were.
making that he started to cry
and positively refused to go ON
the seat, prepared for him, with
out having his father in there
with him. After he was gently
placed into the fire truck he was
paraded down the principal
streets Of the city, to the home
Of his parents, on Union street.
There he found his little chair,
in which he was want to sit, be-
fore his mysterious disappear
ance some eight months ago. As
soon as he was seated there was
a mob of several hundred people
eager to get a glimpse Of the
little fellow, but little Bobbie
began crying once more and in
a few minutes ran away into
one of the back rooms.
The home of Mr.. Dunbar, as
well as the fire truck and the
little chair in which Robert was
placed in was beautifully deco
rated in red white and blue
eolors, together with pretty
native flowers.
This evening there will be a
Dig celebration on the court
mousse square in honor of the
finding of little Robert Dunbar,
from four to seven o'clock, when
here will be men and women
from all over this portion of the
state. Robert Dunbar will be
The center of attraction and the
entire population will join with
he happy parents in rejoicing
over the return of one of our
title Youngsters.

We wish to form q goodly band,
OF the Daughters scattered

Who will revere, for aye and aye,
The memory Of those who
wore the gray,
There are just a few now, left
behind,
And soon, they too, will cross
the line,
And stand before God s righteous
bar,
Beyond the pale Of cruel war.
And there, they'll join their
friends ofyore,
Who have crossed the border
line before,
Who fore the bullets would not
yield,
And laid down their lives on
the battlefield.
All. yes, well revere, for aye
and aye,
The memory of those who
wore the gray,
For heroic deeds OF valor done,
Well remember the men OF
sixty-one.
How many filled an untimely
grave;
So young, SO true, noDle and
brave?
Oh, let us ever be loyal and true,
To the memory of the men of
sixty-tWo.
Grand, noble men, so strong and
upright.
Laid down their lives in de-
fense of right;
So, sacred, let the memory be,
Of the gallant men of sixty
three,
0utdone in numbers. yet they
stand.
A grand, a noble, though rag
ged band;
So we will cherish foreyermore,
The grand old men of sixty
four.
The end is near, so let US pause,
And bow to the heroes Of the
dear Lost Cause
They fought, they believed, for
justice and right;
They did their best, in the un-
equalf1ght.
Outnumbered, four-fold, they
gave it up,
And drank the drugs of the
bitter cup;
So wen remember and ever
strive,
To honor our heroes of sixty
five.
Their souls may be gone to meet
their God;
Their bodies resting meath
the sod,
Yet we, the daughters, of those
brave men,
Will still love, honor, and cher
