Merry Christmas

Before the next icsue of the Chief
makes it's appearance, Christmas, the
greatest and most sublime and i'm
portant Of all the holidays in the
calendar, will have come and gone.
The day is the feast of the Nativity
of Our Lord Jesus Christ. It is the
anniversary of the most momentuous
day in the history Of the world; the
day, nearly two centuries ago, when
God, in His infinite goodness and in
finite mercy, took the shape of man
was born upon earth, lived, suffered
and died for the redemption Of the
human race. 1t marks the dawn of
the Christian era. On that day the
Christian people in every part of the
globe, lay aside their ordinary cares
and devote themselves to feasting,
rejoicing and making merry. 1t is
in every sense, a day of peace, and
good will by man towards his fellow
men.
The Chief takes occasion to ex-
tend sincere good wishes to it's many
friends, patrons and readers for a
very Merry Christmas. 1t trusts that
all will join in the spirit of the oc-
casion and that the day will be spent
in good cheer.

Norman Walkers Dream.

Norman Walker, managing editor
of the Times-Picayune, made a trip
to North Louisiana few days ago,
and while lodging at hotel in one of
the upstate towns one night, he had
a dream to the effect that John M.
Parker would sweep the state on elet:-
tion day and capture the Democratic
nomination for governor. He hur-
ried back to New Orleans and in a
long article, with big fare-heads,. ap-
pearing on the front page of his pa
per yesterday, regaled the friends and
followers of Mr.. Parker with long
and fictitious story which, however,
he handed out as straight goods. F"
Mr.. Walker, be it remembered, is in
the habit of having those dreams just
a few weeks before the state prima-
ries, and only Oh one occasion in the
past thirty years did he hit the mark.
This latest dream of Mr.. Walker,
which is intended for political effect
will have no influence on the people
of Louisiana in the coming primary
and Col. Stubs will capture the
nomination for the office Of chief ex-
ecutive by a majority three times
greater than that by which Mr.. Wal
ker dreamt would be given Mr.. Par
ker.

Esnaault..Guichet.

Edmond Esneault, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Rene Esneau1t Of Faubourg la
Pipe, and Miss Claudine Guichet,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Gui-
chet, of this city, were happily mar
ried last Tuesday evening at 5
o'clock. The ceremony took place at
the Catholic, church in the presence
of few relatives and friends of the
happy pair, Rev. C. NJ. Chambon Of
ficiating. Camille Esnesult, broth
er of the groom, acted as best man,
and the bride was attended by her
sister, Miss Rose Guichet, as maid of
honor. After the ceremony a sup
per was served at the home of the
brides parents, and many toasts
were proposed to the future good
health and happiness of the young
couple. Mr.. and Mrs. Esneault have
taken up their residence in one of
u. c. Babin's cottages in Opelousas
street. The groom is an automo-
bile mechanic by occupation, and is
employed at D. Ohlmeyer's garage
lin this city. He is hard working
land industrious young man, and en-
joys the confidence of all who know
him. The bride is the oldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Guichet, and was
up to a short time ago, employed as
la saleslady at David Israel's dry
goods store in Railroad avenue. She
lis possessed of many charming traits
of character which greatly endea1
Ter to a large circle Of friends. The
Chief extends congratulations to the
young couple, with best wishes 70,
La long and happy welded life.s

SYCAMORE TREES A NUISANCE.

The sycamore trees along some OF
the streets of the city are great
comfort in summer. The shaoe
which they give when their leaves
are green afford relief from the rays
of the sun and they are, in other re-
snects. an ornament to the town.
But in the fall of the year, when
thew begin to shed their leaves, they
lose their beauty and usefulness and
become veritable nuisance. Ihe
leaves accumulate in the yards, on
the banuuettes and in the streets;
They clog up the cutters ana
bitches and seriously interfere with
the drainage of yards and streets,
and during very dry weather they
burn like paper, and become serl-
GUS fire menace. Persons in whose
wards or near whose premises these
trees are located, are kept busy
nearly every day gathering these
leaves and disposing of them; while
the town must keep a force OF men
at work removing them from the
cutters to prevent interference with
| the drainage, and this is an expense
to the taxpayers which is not com
pensated by the shade afforded by
the trees during a few months OF
sp1 ing and summer. It has been
suggested that the sycamores be cut
down and replaced by trees whose
LEAVES are green the year round:
While it will no doubt be source OF
regret to many to see the old syca-
mores go, as matter of economy
and safety their removal might
eventually have to be decreed.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
(Communicated.)

Inclement weather yesterday caus-
ed the postponement Of tag day which
was to be for the benefit of the
school.
The school closed yesterday for
the holidays A timely program was
rendered. School will reopen Jan.
Is.
A two-day short course in tree
culture will be given next Monday
and Tuesday. The course will be
given by specialist in the work
from Baton Rouge, assisted by J. Q.
Montegut, parish demonstration
agent.
| The course has been planned to
afford every one Interested an oppor-
tunity to visit neighboring orchards:
inspect the fruit trees for diseases
and pests and receive proper instruc-
tions in the methods of spraying
trees.
This work has been neglected by
farmers in the past, so the course
should prove to be highly instructive
and interesting.
Many of the pupils of the school
intend to join the party which will
assemble at the school building next
Monday morning at 9 o'clock.

MORE BURGLARiES.
Two Stores and T. and P. Ticket Of
fee Broken Into Thursday.

The clothing store of Wolfson
Bros. & Polner at the corner ol
Railroad avenue and Charles street,
the dry goods store of Hablb Shaneeh;
at the corner of Railroad avenue ana
Claiborne street, and the Texas and
Pacific Company's ticket office, were
b11rgaIarized at an early hour Thurs
dav morning. 1t was about 5 O'Clock
when Mrs. S. T. Samuelson, wife OF
the manager of the Wolfson stole
who occupies the upper story OF the
building as a residence, was aroused
by loud noise of crashing glass.
She awoke her husband and the lat
ter rushed to the front of the store
lust in time to see man, presuma-
bly negro, run away from the front
part of the establishment in Rail
road avenue. He Immediately went
into the store to investigate and
found that one of the large plate
glass show windows had been broken
with a brickbat and one pair OF
trousers, valued at $11, carried
away.
The noise made in breaking the
glass attracted the attention OF the
night watchman Of Jasmin TOBIAS
store, at the next corner, and ne
rushed to the scene and tried to in
tercept the robber and called on
him to halt, but the latter, who was
fleet-footed, ran away and made his
escape. -.
Habib Shaheen, upon opening his
store early Thursday morning,
found that one of the glass show
windows had been smashed, and two
pairs of shoes valued at SIS pair
stolen. q
The glass window of the Texas
and Pacific ticket office, was also
found broken Thursday morning
but an investigation revealed that
nothing had been taken from the
place. ,.o =.
The officers were notified of the
burglaries and at once began an IN
vestigation, but have been unable to
learn anything which would Lead TO
the apprehension of the culprlts:
The supposition is that the three
burgalaries were perpetrated by the
same person or persons. 1t IS pe
lieved that they entered the railroad
Office first; next broke the Shaheei.
show window and finally attacked
the Wolfson store from which place
they were frightened away and
made their escape.

New Restaurant to Open.

In an ad appearing elsewhere in
this issue of the Chief, John Oubre,
the progressive proprietor of Oubre's
Sanitary Barber Shop, in Railroad
avenue, announcing that on Christmas
day he will open a restaurant in the
south half of the building in which
his barber shop in presently located.
Mr.. Oubre has employed comfe.
tent and experienced chef who will
be on hand to prepare short order
meals at all hours. Special orders
will be taken for delivery on short
notice. The prices of all meals and
orders will be reasonable, and first
class cooking and polite and quick
service in assured. The location is a
most desirable one for restaurant
and there is no doubt that the place
will enjoy a full measure of public
patronage which the enterprising
proprietor respectfully solicits.

Killed on His Doorstep.

Johnny Thompson, a colored man
who was. engaged in conducting a
service car in this city, was found
dead on the steps of his residence in
Churchville, at $50 o'clock Friday
morning with load of buchshot in
his head Neighbors heard shot
fred at about II O'Clock Thursday
night, but paid no attention to it.
Upon opening the front door of the
house yesterday morning, Thompson's
wife found him lying in pool of
blood, dead She notified Sheriff
Hanson and he together with Chief
of Police r. E. Dill went to the scene
and made an investigation but could
find no clue to the identity Of the
perpetrator of the crime. In explain
alton of possible motive for the
crime, it is said that Thompson had
been on rather familiar terms with
an Italian girl in this city and had
been warned to desist, but failed to
heed the warning. The presump-
ton is that deceased was re-
turning home from his days work
and was just about to open the front
door Of his house when shot from am
bush.
The Donaldsonville chief., 1919-12-20
Jos. Gonzales for House.

In a card appearing elsewhere IN
this issue of the Chief, Joseph Con
zales, police juror from the fourth
ward, makes formal announcements q
his candidacy for the house Of repre-
sentatives, subject to the Democ"a-
tic voters at the primary election.
Mr.. Gonzales is no stranger to the
people Of the parish of Ascension. a
native and lifelong resident OF Con
zales, he is known to every man, Wo-
man and child in the New River sec
tion. He began at an early age TO
| take an active interest IN politics.,
and was elected police juror from the
seventh ward during the adminlstra-
ton of Governor Foster, and served
on that body at different times Tor
period including his present term, OF
about twelve years and was at one
time it's president In 1903 ne was
elected one of the representatives
from this parish and served during
the administration of Gov. Sanders.
! He is farmer by occupation, and
for many years also conducted gen.
eral merchandise store and operated
cotton gin at Gonzales. He always
took a conspicuous part IN all mat
ters of public interest. he was the
promoter Of the town of Gonzales,
which has made rapid strides in the
past few years and is fast becoming
center of population IN the New
River section. He is friend OF pub
lie education and good roads, and
was one of the leaders in the move
ment to raise funds for the establish
ment of a 100000 high school build
ing in the village which bears his
name. He took very active part
in the campaign for the special tax
voted sometime ago to provide about
$4,000 of the amount and was
largely instrumental in securing from
the police jury an appropriation OF
S25, 900 to supplement TIE SAID tax.
He was also one of the leaders in the
movement to create the New River
drainage district, which dredged that
river and gave good drainage to that
section.
He worked hard and earnestly in
the creation Of the road district in
New River, through the means Of
which there will be built in the course
of a short time system Of, gravel
roads connecting all Of the important
points of the seventh and eighth
wards with the river and which will
make travel possible throughout that
section at all times and under all
weather conditions.
He has large family connections
and many friends throughout the
parish, whom he feels confident will
show their appreciation Of his past
service to the parish and the people
by giving strong support to his can
didacy on the day Of election.
