LIVE STOCK ASSOCIATION
MET LAST THURSDAY

The parish Live Stock Association
met at the court house in Jennings
last Thursday in regular session. The
principal deliberations of the associ-
alton surrounded the raising Of suffi-
Gent funds to pay the salaries of the
inspectors In the different wards, and
a committee was appointed to wait on
the Police Jury to ask them to supply
the necessary funds.
The pay of the ward inspectors IN
the tick eradication work has been
fixed at the nominal sum of 5000
per month. As it is necessary for
these inspectors to spend nearly their
entire time with the work in order to
properly care for it, the salary paid
them ib deemed entirely inadequate
In nearly every section of the par
ish it is reported that the dipping
rules are being followed to the letter
but in a few localities the stOckmen
are not taking the interest they
should, although in no part OF the
parish is there any open opposition
! to the dipping measures.

MAYOR AND MRS.
GABBERT CELEBRATE
18TH ANNIVERSARY

One of the social events of the week
was the surprise given on Tuesday,
June 18th, to the Hon. Mayor VIM. b
Gabbert and his good wife in honor OF
their twenty.fIth wedding annlver-
Sary. The crowd which numbered l35
of their closest friends gathered at the
hOSpitable home of Mr.. and Mrs. K. 5.
Greer, from whence they all proceeded
to the spacious residence of our mayor
where all received hearty welcome.
1t seems the news of the friends in
tentionS became known to the gentle
man that afternoon when childish an
ticipation of the visit caused Harold to
tell, but to the lady it was a genuine
surprise,
A large white bell was suspended in
the doorway and the couple escorted
beneath it, where the mock ceremony
was performed to the great enjoyment
of the guests. Rev. A. H. Cullen per-
formed the marriage rites,
The crowd then repaired to the din
ing room where a handsome tray of
silverWare was presented in very
able manner by Mr.. j. M. Booze, who
recalled some incidents of bygone days.
Mr.. Gabbert responded with few
well chosen and appropriate remarks.
A regulation bridal cake was un-
covered and the "25 year old" bride
and groom were told to each cut
slice; the one cutting the thinneSt and
prettieSt slice would be the boss
throughout the remaining years OF
their lives (of course the bride will be.)
Delicious refreshments of pink and
white ice cream and numerous kinds
of cake were served. after which came
water-a very scarce commodity in
that neighborhood mot that they use
anything stronger, but Booze was
there and his every word Was drank
in.)
The crowd left at late hour ex-
pressing the wish that all would be
with MIR. and Mrs. Gabbert to help
them celebrate their tiftieth wedding
anniversary.
Mr.. Wm.B, Gabbert and Miss Tudella
Allison were married at Augusta, Kan
SaS, June 18th, 1892. They spent some
time at Decatur, Illinois, from whence
they came to Louisiana, settling hrSt
on a farm near Roanoke fifteen years
ago last January, In 1906 they moved
to Welsh.
MIR. and Mrs, Gabbert have always
taken an active part in the social and
religious affairs, and worked hard for
, the upbuilding of the communIty'S
morality. They are always counted in
on every progressive movement, no
matter what the effort or the cost, and
thus when they have occasion to re-
, ioice the whole community rejoiceS
with them.
Mr.. Gabbert has always been very
active in business circles and is al
, present carrying on large rice plant
: ing project. He is prominent poiiti-
cally too, having just been reelected tc
1 serve a second term as Mayor Of
: Welsh. He has served as Trustee sew
: eral terms, and it is only fair to him tc
4 say here that great deal of the schoo
improvement in this school district has
been accomplished while he was
member of the school board. The com
munitieS' educational facilities are one
of his greatest hobbies.
. The Journal extends congratulation'
= aud expresses the fond hope that i
may be permitted to announce TIM
tlftieth wedding anniversary OF Mr.
and Mrs. VIM. B. Gabbert.
