EdWards-SWann.

Sheriff J. F. Edwards many friends
throughout the parish will have occasion
to congratulate him when they next see
him. Yesterday he and Mrs. j. S.
Swami, who recently became a resident
of Shreveport, but who was for years a
much beloved resident of this parish,
were united in marriage in New Orleans.
A special from that city to the Shreve-
port Times, dated the 23d, reads in part
as follows:
"Mrs. James Singleton Swami of
Caddo Parish and Sheriff J. Ford Ed
wards of Bossier Parish were married at
high noon to-day at the home of Miss
Sallie Spyker, cousin of the bride, 144e
Joseph Street, Rev. Roberts. COPELAND,
rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, Of
ficiating. ...... .....
"Among the guests present were Mr..
and Mrs. Theodore Wilkerson, DR.. and
Mrs. Bruins, Mrs. Col. Smith of Harrods-
burg, KY, and her hostess, Mrs. Man
gum. After the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs.
Edwards left for Florida and will visit
Cuba and the Panama Canal before re-
turning to Shreveport in April.
"The bride is one of the most loyeable
women of this State, and her country
home, Swannhaven, is the most beauti-
full in North Louisiana, where she reign
ed with queenly grace and unbounded
hospitality. With charming personality
and a generous heart she has made
friends wherever she went, since she was
always veritable sunbeam"

A Good Woman Gone,

Mrs. Nellie Martin, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. J. D. Rogers, was born in Bos-
sier Parish June II, 1878, and was mar
ried to Mr.. R. P. Martin February IL,
1895.
With delight and enthusiastic joy she
embraced Christianity, and became a
member of the M. E. Church, South,
early in life, from which time she was
favored with a particular manifestation
of the love of God, and being charac-
terized by an answering and uncom-
promizing devotion to her profession,
while she yet lived she reared her own
monument in the hearts of all who
knew her.
She often thought of her home here,
with its happy surroundings, sweet in
fluences, and pleasant companionship,
and enjoyed living on an earth carpeted
with green and flowers, waving with
bountiful harvests and spreading trees,
girted with glourious mountains, glad
dened with laughing brooks, ribboned
with rivers that wind in beauty about
the rocky promontories, and girted
about by the ruffled seas. But she saw
that in Christ's immediate presence was
her true home, and on February 5, 1916,
the city of unchanging blessedness
| threw open its gates of pearl for her ad-
mission, and she enrolled amoug princi-
palities in the eternal empire, where she
now has an everlasting session with
Jesus in that home of uninterrupted
love, and being forever free from satanic
invasion, she wears the engraved gem of
celestial privilege and honor, amid lib
critics and securities day without end.
Her remains were laid to rest in Plain
Dealing Cemetery, amid the tears and
lamentations of relatives and friends,
Rev. G. D. Purcell officiating, and pay
| ing a beautiful tribute to her memory.
Now, to the broken hearted husband,
four sons and three daughters, and all
relatives who sit in sorrow where her
footsteps will never again find echo, let
me say freely, "She cannot come to us,
but we can go to her." So, if necessary,
let fortunes pass, let earthly comforts go
unenjoyed, cast honors and titles aside;
but let not the privilege go by of seeing
her face to face again and becoming an
immortal king and coregent with the
lamb in the Golden City of the New
Jerusalem. j.

Must Have Help.

Uncle Sam says he must have help.
He wants stenographers for his offices in
Washington and throughout many OF
the Southern States, at entrance sala-
ries of from. $40 to $1,000 per annum.
He has some vacancies in his PHILIPPINE
Offices and in Panama, for which he pays
an entrance salary of $1,000 to $500 pei
year. He advances on merit. If you are
competent you will soon draw a most
attractive salary and only work from
nine am. to 4:30 PM, with thirty days
vacation during the year, with pay.
Several different examinations were
held here in our city during the past
year by the Civil Service Department,
to secure help for the Government.
Special letters were received by our
school, urging that our graduates take
these examinations. We prepare stud
ents to pass examinations for several
departments of Government work.
Owing to America being the great
department store of the world during
the European War, Uncle Sam will need
far more help this year than ever before.
Young men and women ambitious to
succeed should give this Civil Service
work prompt and serious consideration.
The position is certain, the salary good,
and the pay sure.
Business men desiring efficient Office
help-bookkeepers, stenographers, Sec
retaries or operators, at salaries in keep
ing with the quality of service rem
dered-should phone or write us just
the kind of help they want and we will
take particular pains in selecting it,
