register. They so advised their colored
tenantry and laborers, and not only 80
advised them hut actively saw that
they presented themselves for regis
tration. Further than this the anthor-
tiles enlisted the assistance OF all the
influential colored citizens in the mat
ter and had the powerful assistance OF
the colored preachers. Nor should we
forget to give his mead of praise to
the humblest of the colored people for
it is but common justice to say that
they showed no disposition to evade
their duty as citizens but TO the con-
trary came forward like men and good
citizens, instances happening where
old men far past military age and
boys who had not yet reached the age
came forward expressing their viii.
lingness to serve their country.
For these reasons, well informed
men in Tensas of all occupations and
position believe that the number of
"slackers" among the colored popula-
ton il absolutely negligible and that
there is but one white ''slacker" in the
parish.
Believing this the Gazette, in behalf
of the people of Tensas, cordially in
vites the -Picayune to devote
the same time and zeal that it spent
in the Pierson matter to an investiga-
ton of the registration of Tensas and,
il it has not time or cares not to under
take such investigation, to lay the
matter beford the District Attorney
for the United States.
There are no slackers in Tensas, and
as a great moral journal the Times
Picayune owes it to its conscience to
make good its insinuation that Tensas
has not made good.

THE MAN WITHOUT 4 COUNTRY.

The earnest desire of the Gazette to
please all of our readers and to pro-
vide reading matter of interest to
every body, old and young, and to in
tensify the patriotic spirit now so
manifest in the hearts of all true
Americans, has prompted us to pre-
sent this week and three succeeding
weeks that little classic of patriotism
"The Man Without Country, by
Edward Everett Hale. 1t is the story
of q young army officer who, in
rash moment, curses the United States
and hopes he may never hear OF IL
again. Fate DEGREES, and he lives to
see the day when he would give all
the worlds riches for one opportunity
to see and serve and suffer for the
blessed land of his birth.
The Man Without Country" is
one of the most profoundly impressive
stories we have ever read. 1t has
been published in a dozen languages
and has affected millions of lives the
world over. Yet it is simply written
and Short only four installments.
Doctor Hale, the author, wrote the
tale in 1853 while he was pastor OF q
Boston church. He afterward became
chaplain of the United States senate,
and died in 1909 while holding that
position. Although he WAS a prolific
writer, it was the "Man Without a
Countrvn that made Doctor Hale a
literary immortal.

POLLARD .snlIFER.

A very pretty colored wedding was
celebrated at Guilfield Baptist Church
on Tuesday night when Stacy Pollard,
Jr., and Pearl Shaifer were united in
marriage. The church had been very
neatly and artistically decorated with
ferns and flowers and presented very
pretty effect. As the bridal party ar
rived at the church the brides friend
and former class mate, Clara Derby of
Mount Olive, Miss, sang "Dreaming
OF You", which was greatly enjoyed by
the large audience that had gathered
to witness the nuptusl scene, includ.
ing nearly two score white friends
Of the popular couple. Her voice was
strong, clear and distinct and showed
splendid possibilities. The singer was
accompanied to the organ by the
BRIDES brother, Arthur shaifer, who
then played the wedding march ss the
bride entered on the arm of her
brother, Fred Shsifer, who gave her
away. The groom and his best man,
Thomas Ellis, awaited the bride at the
altar. Little Hattie and Mildred Reed
preceded the bride, carrying dainty
baskets of flowers, followed by the
BRIDES maids, Eva Shaifer and Alma
Battle. Upon reaching the altar the
bridal party stood in the center of an
srbor of vines and flowers where the
ceremony was performed by the Rev.
B. I. Scott, who in solemn and serious
tones pronounced the marriage rite
that made them one.
Following the ceremony the bridal
party repaired to the home of the
BRIDES mother where refreshments
were served to intimate friends.
The bride and groom are we'll known
in both white and colored circles of
st. Joseph, and enjoy the confidence
and respect Of every one. They have
the good wishes Of oil their friends for
. happy su6 psospsseas wsddsd Ute.

Sinister Intrigue In America.

LET'S TALK SENSE
(By Ralph Henry Barbour Of the
Vieilantee.)
(Author Left Tackle Thayer,"
Hearts Content" ETC., etc.

(Author LEFT Tackle Thayer,"
Hearts Content" ETC.. etc.
Let's talk sense. folks.
Let's forget this piffle about the war
being over in August or September
Of the day before Christmas.
Germany isn't beaten yet. Her re-
sources OF men, ammunition and food
are still fair. II she went on half
ration tomorrow she could make the
wal last another year. She may never
be beaten. You don't like the sound
Of that, but it's true There's nothing
to guarantee the contrary.
The government has gon into the
war on the assumption that 1t will last
another three years at least, and the
government knows more Of the facts
than do those comfortable, cheerfully
optimistic persons who smile and
ave their hands airily Inc predict
a victory for the entente allies about
the time winter furs come out Of
camphor.
You and I hope as much as we
please.
1t does no harm. Probably it helps.
But the memorable fact remains
that at the present moment there is
every indication Of this war going to
extra innings.
But whether it is ended this year
or three years from now or twenty
years from now. the United States is
in. 1t for keeps. We started slow but
we're going to take a lot Of men and
q lot Of money. Fortunately, we've
got both. But the men aren't going
to do US any good until they're mob
ilized and the money isn't going to be
of use until it's out Of our pockets.
The country needs money al much
as men.
Give it to her. Don't wait for tho
next man to come across. Got there
ahead Of him. Don't talk early peace
and say there'll be plenty of money
without yours. You don't know. II
everyone thought that, there wouldn't
be any at all. Take the word of those
in position to know and count on the
war lasting a long while vet.
II you accept that as a fact you'll
realize the necessity Of mobiltxine
your dollars. along with the others.
Come across folks!
