Ascension Boys Like Iowa.

/ Claiborne Leroy, one of the Don
aldsonyille boys who is holding dow1
a job with an Illinois Central rail
Iowa, writes the following interest
ing letter to A. J. Esneault of The
Chief staff:
"Primghar, Iowa, Aug. IL, 1914.
/ Mr.. A. J. Esneault, Dona1dsonvil1e.
Dear Friend:-We are all still
getting along fine with the Yankees
/ and enjoying nice, refreshing breezes
This has been the coolest and mos
pleasant summer l have ever ex
perienced. The people here are The
finest I have ever met. They do al
they can to make us feel at home
and there is no excuse whatever
for not sticking to our jobs I'll
be here to see the ice and snow.
| The farmers are now threshing
their oats and barley. Reminds me
of the rice fields at home. The
corn and Irish potato crops are mag.
| nificent. In fact, everything on the
farms, from the skirts down, is
| beautiful.
| Saw the farmers ship out fine
hogs, cattle and horses Nearly
every one has an auto. It looks odd
l not to see large plantations, negroes
and mules, as in sunny south. The
farms here are worked entirely by
the farmers and their families. Now
and then one of them will hire a
man or so Horses are used instead
of mules.
Il believe if Louisiana lands would
be divided into small tracts and
worked as are the farms in Iowa,
We would have one of the best states
in the union We have a big ad-
vantage over them when it comes to
climate, being just about two months
ahead of these people. We can raise
crops earlier than they can, and we
have pasture longer for the cattle
Reckon it will begin to get cold
here about the middle Of September,
for the mornings are quite chilly and
the days are not warm. We had
about one week of hot weather since
We shave been here, and it was far
from being as torrid as at home.
Enclosed you will find photo
graph of four good-lool1ing Faubourg-
la-Pipians. Every Sunday Camille
and Edmond Esneault spend the day
with us. Our cook, Emile St. Mar
tin, fixes us up a swell spread Ca
mile and Edmond are looking fine
Ellie (Leroy) and Edmond are some
sports. You ought to be here on
Sunday to see them.
There will be a fair at Sheldon
the latter part of this month. Shell
don is nice town II miles from
here. Our hospital is located there
With all good wishes to you from
the Primghar Camp, and especially,

FaIcon--Giardine,

Miss Mary Giardine, adopted
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Lucien
Acosta, Sr., and Adolph Falcon, a
well-known young man of White
castle, were married at the Catholic
church at 5. o'clock Wednesday after
noon, in the presence Of a large as
semblage of relatives and friends,
Rev. Benedict Stetter officiating. The
bride was given in marriage by her
foster father, and had as her maid
of honor Miss Maude Loumiet, OF
Port Barrow Rodolph Gomez, OF
Whitecast1e, attended the groom as
best man. In honor of the event Mr..
Acosta entertained the bridal party
and a number Of his relatives and
close friends at an elaborate dinner
at his home, upwards of forty guests
participating in the pleasant function
The newly married couple left via
the T. & P. Railroad at 7:49 p. m.
for Whitecastle, where they will
make their home.
The bride is an amiable, accom-
plished young woman with numerous
virtues which have been carefully
cultivated by her devoted foster par
ents, and has a large number of
friends who share her happiness and
join in extending fluctuations and
good wishes to her and her husband.

CARD OF THANKS.

"E CAN NEVER express in mere words the
w depth OF our gratitude to our friends and
neighbors and the good people of this community
generally for the many kindnesses and tokens oil
sympathy extended to us in our sore grief over
the death of our beloved mother. No sweeter
memory can live in any heart than that of the
tender ministrations of friends and sympa-
thizers in the dark hour of death and desolation
and to those who comforted us by their presence
and acts of thoughtfu1ness, and whose sympa-
thies were conveyed in many beautiful floral Of
ferings, we are lastingly indebted and shall ever
be grateful The waves of sorrow must break
upon every shore. and we can but hope that
hearts as true may gather around all these dear
friends when death inyades their homes

Death of an Ascension Patriarch.

Another of the old landmarks of
Ascension parish has closed his mis-
sion on earth and joined the great
majority. Drausin Killing, Sr., a ma
tive and lifelong resident of the
eighth ward, after a life we'll spent
and replete with good deeds, sank
into the long sleep at s o'clock We'd
nesday morning, Aug. 5, at. his home
two miles from DutchtoWn. Deceased
had attained the venerable age of
eighty-four years, four months and
eight days, and was one of the old
est citizens of the parish, as he was
one of its best known and most hon
ored. He was a soldier of the south,
and served his native land faithfully
and well throughout that memorable
period of the country's history Be-
sides this badge of honor, he was a
good man of clean character and
lofty purposes, who fulfilled life's
every duty in a conscientious and
honorable manner, and at the end
passed to his reward with a smile
on his lips and faith in his heart.
The remains of this lamented pa
triaIch were laid to rest in the Cath
olic burial ground at Prairieville on
Thursday, Aug. 6, at 10 O'Clock a.
M, after services conducted by Rev.
J. c. Gonon, pastor of the Corner
view Catholic church The funeral
procession was one of the largest and
most imposing which has ever been
seen in that community, the line of
mourners in buggies and other We
hicles who came to escort the body
of the venerable gentleman to it's
last resting place extending nearly
a mile. Both the size and character
of the cortege gave evidence of the
degree of esteem and respect in
which the deceased was held, and
the widespread sorrow caused by his
demise.
Mr.. king is survived by his devot-
ed wife, who had been the faithful
partner of his joys and sorrows for
the long span of 50 years, Il months
and 8 days. His descendants include
seven daughters, two sons, fifty-four
grandchildren and fifty great-grand-
children, besides whom he leaves a
large number of other relatives and
family connections
His passing away removes another
of those heroic characters who lifted
this country out of the gloom and
desolation of the reconstruction pc
riod and prepared it for the era of
development and prosperity now i'm
pending.
Peace to his eternal sleep.
The Donaldsonville chief., 1914-08-22
