Galley Terminates Profitable Season

Leo Gaudin, Of barrow, passed
through Donaldsonville Monday on his
way home after completing another
successful season as chief sugar-boil-
err of the Oakley factory in Assump-
ton parish, in which capacity he has
served with conspicuous ability for a
number of years past. The cane
ground at Oakley this season aggre-
gated 33,442 tons, more than 10000
tons in excess of the 1916 crop. The
increase is accounted for by the pur-
chase of considerably more "outside'
cane than was handled during the pre-
vious campaign, the new crops bought
including those grown by Willie Ber-
geron, Rufin Walton, and Mr.. Lal-
lande, of near, Lockport. About two
thousand barrels Of yellow clarified
sugar were manufactured, the re-
mainder of the output being planta-
ton granulated and high-grade molas-
SEES. The factory was in operation
fifty-eight days without stop, ex-
cept for brief delay Of about thirty
hours during the final week caused by
an interruption in the delivery OF
cane from Mr.. Bergeron's Wildwood
place. Van Gaudin, formerly OF
GSmoke Bend and now located at
Garyville, assisted his brother in tax
ing off the crop.

CHARLET--POCHE.
Pretty Ceremony at Catholic Church
Unites Well-known Young Couple.

An interesting event in social cir
cles during the current week was the
marriage of Miss Juanita Marie Poche
to Honore W. Charlet,. which was
solemnized at the local Catholic
church on Wednesday forenoon at
eleven-thirty of the clock, Rev. C. M.
Chambon officiating. At the appoint
ed hour and to the strains Of the beau
tiful march from "Poet and Peasant"
rendered withtmuch expr ession on the
organ by Mrs. w. A. Poche, the bridal
party entered. First came the maid
of honor, Miss Ophelia Charlet, a sis
ter Of the groom, charmingly gowned
in navy blue satin with trimmings Of
white, and wearing large dropping
white satin hat. She carried a sheaf
of white roses and ferns.
Next came the dainty little ring
bearer, Miss Virlie May Brnes,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. w.
Byrnes, whose winsomeness was en-
HANGED by her pretty white frock Of
lingerie cloth and lace.
Lastly came the bride, leaning on
the arm of her father, her girlish
beauty made more apparent by a
chic and becoming suit of midnight
blue. She wore a small hat of taupe
velvet and cream lace with touch of
ivory to match her shoes and other
accessories, and her flowers were ex-
quisite bride roses and trailing ferns.
They were met at the altar by the
groom and his best man, Coxswain
James Poche Of the United States
navy, brother of the bride.
During the signing of the register
Mrs. Poche and her daughter, Miss
Eunice Poche, sang an cave Maria"
from the opera Mauritania" and as a
occasional a march from "Aida" was
played.
At 1921 p. m. the newly-wedded
couple left via the east-bound Texas
& Pacific train for honeymoon trip
to New Orleans, upon their return
from which they will take up their
residence at Plattenville.
The bride is the pretty daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Willie Poche, Of this
city, and is a young woman Of charm
and vivacity, whose circle of admir-
ing friends is bounded only by the
extent Of her acquaintance. The
groom, son Of Capt. E. M. Charlet,
Of Plattenville, is young man of es-
Unable qualities and enjoys the good
will and respect of all who know him.
The Chief joins in extending con-
ordinations and good wishes to the
happy pair.
