HARvEY-sMITH.

Mr. Walter Ernest Harvey of Free
land and Miss Ophelia G. Smith Of
Wayside we're married at the home
of the brides father, Mr. Caswell
Smith, Tuesday evening, Dec. %. Al
though very pretty wedding, it was
most unpretentious and quiet, being
witnessed by only the closest friends
and relatives. The rooms we're deco.
rated lavishly with Christmas green's,
and amidst them, the tall and stately
bride moved like a poets dream of fe-
male loneliness. She wore a gown OF
white satin, over which fell tunic, in
the fashionable outlines, of soft lace
richly embroidered White flowers
formed her bouquet and the ornaments
for her hair. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Mr.. Mccain of Nor.
wood The members of the bride
groom's family present were his sis
tiers, Misses Irene and Pearl Harvey
and his brother, Willis Harvey. The
young couple will be guests at the
Smith home for week or more when
their own pretty little home at Way
side will be ready for them. They are
among the most deserving young PEG
pie in the parish, Mr.. Harvey being
an energetic and promising young
planter, while his bride, prior to thu
time when she fell victim to Cupid''
arrows, was one of the best of thu
parish teachers. Indeed it was while
prettily playing the role of earnes
young teacher at Freeland that SHIT
evidently won the heart Of her lover
A sweet and gracious girl-the transi
ton is natural into the good and faith
full wife.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

On Wednesday evening, Dec. 81, at
eight o'clock, at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Willis Daniel in the ninth
ward, Mr.. Jesse Daniel and Miss Irene
Wadsworth were married, the Rev. S.
L. Riggs officiating. The pretty little
home was gorgeous with bloom, as If
December had suddenly been meta
morphosed into May in honor Of the
nuptials, except that the flowers were
camellias instead of roses. The recep-
ton hall was decorated in white and
green, the living room in green and
red and the dining-room in green and
pink, the flowers in each instance be.
ing camellias, and the lamps in the
rooms being shaded in colors to match.
About seventy-five guests assembled
to enjoy the occasion, Mrs. w. S. DAN
iel, the groom's mother, Mrs. J. E.
Wadsworth, the brides mother, Mrs.
Bob Daniel and Miss Sallie Daniel
receiving.
At the hour appointed, and before
the bridal party appeared, Mrs. Austen
Daniel sang charmingly, 81 love you"
This was followed by the sweet famil-
lar strains of Mendelssohn's wedding
march played by Mrs. Walter Mary
man, accompanied by Miss Irma Mat
tingly on the violin. To it's notes, the
entrance was made into the hall,
where an arch Of evergreen with white
flowers, Illuminated by innumerable
candles, invited them to pause for the
final plighting of vows. The little
flower.girl Mamie Drew doll Baby
Daniel came first, scattering rose
petals from silver basket. Her white
embroidered frock over pink with pink
ribbons enhanced her baby charms.
Mrs. w. R. Daniel, the brides sister
as nlatron of honor, came next, look
ing a picture of beauty in gown of
pink chiffon over pink silk tissue de
luxe, and carrying bouquet of pink
roses. The best man, Claude Daniel
and the bridesmaid, Miss Ella Daniel,
entered together, followed by the
bridegroom and his bride. The for.
mer wore a girlish gown of white
crepe de chine, elaborated with filet
lace, pink satin sash and pink roses
The brides gown was an exquisite
creation of white satin, en- traine
trimmed with rich real lace, family
heirloom, and bands of seed pearl EN-
broidery. From beneath wreath Of
orange blossoms, her veil of illusion
fell and fioated about her. A shower
bouquet of white hyacinths and aspar
agus fern was carried, and later was
divided into smaller bouquets, which
she presented the guests as souvenirs
This sharing of her bouquet was char
acteristic of her charm, signalized al
ways by a gracious manner, more en-
dearing than mere beauty.
During the signing, Mrs. Auster
Daniel sang appropriately: ITO Have

DEATH OF MRS. CARRIE DoHERTY
SMITH.

The body of Mrs. Carrie Doherty
Smith was brought here for burial,
Saturday, the funeral taking place in
Grace Cemetery. Mrs. Smith had gone
to the Natchez Sanitarium to undergo
an operation which proved fatal on
Thursday. She was the daughter of
| l.. W. Doherty, ST., and a sister of l..
| w. Doherty, Jr. and Mrs. r. w. TEN.
| pei Of this place. Prior to her mar.
riage she was trained nurse, and re.
Gently when circumstances entailed
upon her the necessity of supporting
herself and her two little daughters,
she returned to this work, in which
she was admitted to be remarkably
| apt and efficient, being both conscien-
tious and intelligent in the discharge
of her duty. This is the unreserved
opinion of Baton Rouge physicians, in
which city most of her professional
work was done.
In this connection it is interesting
| to note that during Mrs. Smiths re-
cent connection with the Baton Rouge
Sanitarium, several incidents display.
ed her force Of character and devotion
to nursely duty. The most striking
was when a member of the recent
constitutional convention was strick-
en- with mortal illness at an hotel. Ad-
mission was sought for him at the
Sanitarium, and refused by the head
nurse for lack of room. Mrs. Smith
Immediately gave up her room, saying
that she could stay up, that this dying
man might receive proper attention in
his last hours. For this, charges of in
subordination were brought against
her, but before that Highest Board,
the Eternal Bar of God, such charges
could never hold. Nor do they hold,
where human hearts feel human pity.
1t is indeed sad that she should
have died in sanitarium, away from
home and friends. But the good God
Is able to make all things right for
those who have, in any measure, done
the work on earth that lay at hand.

sARRoW.HARALsoN.

Following the custom of several
years past, that of there being always
bride to stand beneath the Christ
mas decorations in Grace Church, a
popular young couple, Mr.. Robert
Ellason Barrow and Miss Maud Har.
alison, plighted their marriage vows,
Tuesday, Dec. 80, at four o'clock in
the afternoon. Only the immediate
relatives and the w. H. Richardson
family were present, as the aim was
to keep it as simple as possible.
AS Mrs. o. Leonard struck the first
notes of the wedding march, the bride
entered the church with her father,
Mr.. Bertrand HARRISON, and was met
by her bridegroom and the rector at
the chancel steps. During the cere'
mony and signing, low, sweet music
was played by Mrs. Leonard. The
bride was chic and charming in mid.
night blue suit with hat to match, and
never looked better than when in the
light of happiness she stood at the
marriage altar with the handsome
young man to whom she was commit
ting her love and her future. She car
ried snowdrops and asparagus fern
arranged in a graceful bouquet.
After the ceremony the bridal party
repaired to Myrtles plantation, the
home of Mrs. H. M. Williams, a cousin,
where an informal pleasant time, was
had, the relatives only being present
The spacious parlor was decorated
with vines and white flowers, and the
dining-room in Christmas greens. An
immense bell of white flowers was sus-
pended from the center of the parlor,
and beneath it the young couple re-
ceived the family greetings with their
natural grace and charm.
Supper was served, thirty covers
being laid, and a sumptuous menu was
enjoyed. Later there was dancing,
one of the features being the dancing
of an old-fashioned quadrille by the
older members of the family. The
bride, whose unfailingly cordial man
ners is one of her greatest charms,
was, with the bridegroom, the life OF
this family circle, enlarged by their
marriage.
The young couple are guests of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert H. Bar
row, at Resale, until he begins farm
ing at the Phillips place. Some pretty
and useful presents were received
Relatives from a distance for the oc.
casion were Mr. and Mrs. Wilson
Rumble and Miss Katie HARRISON OF
Natchez, Miss May HARRISON, Mrs
Bryson Stirling and children and
Reeve Barrow from Baton Rouge.

CHRISTMAS TREE AT WILHELM.

On Christmas night, the Methodist
Church Sunday School at Wilhelm
gave Christmas tree for the benefit
of all the children in the community.
A very nice program was rendered,
and, while all the children who took
part acquitted themselves very nicely
there were a few who evoked special
applause.
The tree was tastefully decorated
with beautiful she'll glass horns, balls,
bells, festoons of tinsel and other at
tractive ornaments. But, best of all,
it was fairly burdened with lovely
presents. Santa Claus came in, ring
ing his sleigh bells, and greeted the
children and the audience in his ac-
customed genial mood. He then pro-
ceeded to distribute the presents
among the children
Although the weather was incle-
ment, and the night was dark, and the
roads bad, the little church was crowd
ed beyond it's seating capacity. Chill
dren, young folks, adults, all spent q
delightful evening, and doubtless many
| little folks went home and dreamed
that night of dear old Santa Claus
whom they saw and who had been so
good to them on two consecutive
nights. X. Y. H.

waukee, Wis, Dec. Is, 1918, at FIVE
o'clock in the afternoon, Edward w.
Upham of Detroit, Mich, and Miss
Ruby Phillips we're united in marriage,
the Rev. Frank Stedman officiating.
Mendelssohn's march announced the
arrival of the bridal party in the sa-
cred building, which was exquisitely
decorated in white and yellow, against
a background of ferns and palms. A
tiny ring-bearer headed the bridal pro-
cession followed by the brides matron
of honor and the groom's best man,
the bride with her attendants coming
last. Ever graceful and charming, she
was vision of loneliness in her gown
of purest white satin, en- traine, with
corsage and skirt trimmed in rare old
lace caught in festoons with lilies of
the valley, and embroidered in rhine
stones. Her veil falling the length of
her train, enveloped her, heightening
the artistic effect of love In a mist.
She carried a shower bouquet of lilies
of the valley and white roses and wore
no jewels, except the gift of the groom,
a diamond necklace with pendant.
After the betrothal, DR.. E. w. Miller
sang the following exquisite marriage
hymn, Beloved it is Morn:
Beloved, it is morn,
A redder berry on the thorn,
A deeper yellow on the corn,
For this good day newborn.
Pray, sweet, for me, that l may be
Faithful to God-to God and thee
Beloved, it is day!
And lovers work as children play,
With heart and brain untired Away,
Dear love, look up, look up and pray
Look up and pray.
Pray, sweet for me, that | may be
Faithful to God and thee.
Beloved, it is night,
Thy heart and mine are full of light,
Thy spirit shineth clear and white
Clear and white
God keep thee in his sight
God keep thee in his sight.
Pray, sweet, for me, that | may be
Faithful-faithful to God and thee.
The continuation of the impressive
Episcopal marriage service was then
carried out. A reception at the home
of DR.. and Mrs. Miller followed the
wedding.

confetti, left for their home in Detroit
at half past nine. o'clock There, they
went to housekeeping in lovely home

that her marriage, the elimination OF
a romance begun in high school, will
be the source of continuous happiness
to them both, throughout the years.

Of multimil1ionaire whose conduct is
said to have been under investigation
by a Chicago federal grand jury in
connection with alleged violation of the

a Mann act investigation had been
made by the grand jury into the ac-

Shortly after noon the grand jury re-

which gave color to a belief that the
