The reports of lands seeded to
wheat in Upton county during the
past month are certainly gratifying.
Many who had thought it too late have
changed their minds and planted and
others have increased their acreage,
and it is now estimated that the acre
age in the county will be above % per
cent greater than last year. The fall
was a poor one for wheat seeding be-
cause of dry weather, which made
breaking of land impossible. Farmers
in the wheat belt in 0bion and Glib
son counties will continue planting
as late as the 10th of December an
less they can get their entire crop in
before that, so we learn. We are
nearly hundred miles south Of them,
and can at least plant as late as
they can. It would have been better
earlier, but better now than not at
al.

BERWICK MANS PARENTS
CELEBRATE GOLDEN WE'D
DING.

Ne. and Mrs. A. L. Boudreaux Of
Berwick spent Sunday in Franklin,
participating. in the surprise party
and dinner which was given to the
parents Of MI. Boudreaux on their
50th wedding anniversary.
Neville Boudreaux and Alvina
Price were married near Houma,
La. in Terrebonne parish on Jan.
9Th, 1867, and have spent the en-
tire half-century in South Louis
lana. For more than score of
years they have been residents Of
Franklin. At this time Mr.. Boud-
eaux has retired from business ac-
tivities and is spending the sunset
years of his life mid pleasant sur
roundings with his children.
Mr.. and Mrs. BoudreauX have
been honored with nine children,
five boys and four girls, all of
whom are alive today. They were
all with Mr.. ard Mrs. Boudreaux
Sunday. In addition to their sons
and daughters, there were 20
grandchildren, five daughter-in-
law and 2 sons-in-law present at the
gathering, making total of forty
present, all in the mediate family.
1t was strictly family gathering.
The old folks were not aware
that there was to be any celebration
in honor of their golden wedding,
as those in charge of the affair had
n laid their plans well. They all met
in Franklin and went in body to
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Boud
reaux where sumptuous dinner
wss served and the day spent in
fluctuations and "reminiscences.
Mr.. A. L. Boudreaux stated to a
Review reporter this morning that
it was one Of the disappointments
of his life that the weather was
such that it was impossible to OBJ
tain a group picture of the entire
gathering.
To enjoy SO years of welded
bliss Sand to see nine children grow
to splendid manhood, and to charm
ing womanhood is a Joy that come
to few in life, and the congratula-
tons of the entire parish is theirs
in this their happy hour.
