GORDON-HUNTER.

One of the most interesting events
of past week was the marriage of
Miss Evelyn Marie Hunter of Water
proof, and Mr.. John Thomas Gordon
of Newellton, on Sunday, May 9Th.
Miss Hunter had been attending
L. S. N. completing her course in
music, and came home on a furlough
on account of illness of her mother.
While here she was married very
quietly by the Episcopal minister, Mr..
Lennie-Smith, at the home of Mr..
Gordon's sister, Mrs. Willie Muir, near
Newellton. Mrs. Arthur Rhodes and
Mrs. Willie Muir stood with the bride,
and Mr.. Arthur Rhodes and Mr.. Ed
ward Buckner with the groom.
The brides queenly form was robed
in an afternoon frock Of grey and
blue with hat, gloves and shoes to
match.
Miss Hunter was justly considered
during her maidenhood one of the
sweetest and most attractive girls
Of Tensas parish. She is a daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. R. N. Hunter of
Waterproof. Mrs. Gordon is one Of
those fortunate girls in whom are
united charms Of person and charac-
ter and wonderful musical ability,
and is well loved by all. Her mother
was Miss Adele Hillyer Green of
Vicksburg, and her father son of Mr..
N. B. Hunter of Waterproof. John
Thomas Gordon is from one of the
most prominent and aristdrcatic
families Of Tensas parish, is honored
and respected and highly thought of
by all who know him. His mother
was Miss Alice Percy and his father a
life time planter Of Tensas. This
happy young couple will make New
elton their home, and all who know
them are delighted.
Reception.
Mrs. Arthur Rhodes and Mrs. Earl
Hunter of Waterproof entertained
the Hunter Gordon bridal party with
reception and shower Wednesday
evening, May 18th, at the beautiful
home of the brides parents. The
guests were met at door by Mrs.
Louis Buekner, Miss Rose Guice and
Mrs. Henry May, and from there were
received by Mr.. and Mrs. Randall
Hunter, Miss Josie Gordon, Mr.. and
Mrs. N. B. Hunter, Mr.. and Mrs.
Earl Hunter, Mr.. and Mrs. w. T..
Lanius and her matron, Mrs. Arthur
Rhodes, and groomsmen, Mr.. Edward
Buckner and Mr.. Arthur Rhodes.
Punch was served by Misses Evie
Greaves, Eola Porter, Essie Marks
and Louise Martien. The guests were
served with delicious ices and cakes
by Mrs. F. Vale, Mrs. Chas. Merry
man Mrs. M. Kullman, Mrs. Harry
Goldman and Mrs. N. Rogillio.
A number of beautiful and costly
presents were received. A basket was
brought in by Miss Marie Louise
Kullman and Miss Edna May and the
cupid, little Miss Fay Louise Rhodes,
and was placed in front of the bride,
and Master VIM. David Hunter and
little Miss Lila Lanius presented the
bride with the contents. Her appre-
citation and enthusiasm was freely
shown by the smiles and expression
from her girlish lips.

THE NEAR EAST RELIEF FUND

An erroneous idea having gained
circulation in this parish that the
quota of funds of Louisiana for aid
of the starving children of the Near
East had been reached, it would not
be necessary to ask for further as
sistance for this cause. That this
story is not true is established by the
following letter, received this week
by lady of st. Joseph, who has been
active in collecting funds for relief
of the starving ones in the. Near East.
The letter in question follows:
New Orleans, La, May 6, 1921.
Mrs. X. T. Hazlip,
st. Joseph, La,
My dear Mrs. Hazlip:
Replying to your letter of May 4th
beg to advise that you have been
somewhat misinformed as to suffi-
cienE funds having been collected for
the Armenians. The following tele-
gram has just been received from our
National Office of Near East Relief
in New York City:
ION account desperate need
in the Near East we plan to
ship a cargo of rice and other.
food stuffs from New Orleans
about May 10th. Mobilize i'm
mediate all available rice and
other commodities. Critical need
for food. Situation especially
critical in Armenia. Famine will
increase with lapse of time"
This shows that the need is very
great at this time in the Near East
and so we are making an urgent ap-
peal for all the funds that we can
secure with which to purchase rice to
ship Immediately from New Orleans
to Constantnople.
Thanking you for your cooperation
in this great movement of caring
for the starving children of the Near
East and hoping to hear from you
soon, we are
Yours sincerely,

ANNOUNCEMENT.

Having retired from management
of the Mound" place, near st. Jo-
seph, and being less occupied in agri-
cultural pursuit than heretofore, /
have concluded to enter the real es-
tate business, and am identified with
the Alluvial Land Association, or
ganized at Memphis for exploitation
of the landed interests Of the South,
and will henceforth devote my time
largely to real estate, believing that
present low values are only tenn
porary. 1 have lived in Tensas parish
for IS years, deyoting my entire
time to agriculture, and believe that
I am to-day better acquainted than
a stranger can possibly be with true
value of any property in this parish.
With this preliminary 1 wish to
announce that l will be pleased to
list any properties that owners may
care TO dispose of and will be glad
to hear from the interested. Have
already in my possession a list of
prospective buyers Of river lands, a
number of whom are expected here
this summer. wish, however, to i'm
press on our people that it is useless
to hold lands at top prices obtaining
last year, and which prices were con-
siderably above true value. Fair
valuation, based on annual returns,
is much closer to true worth and
will insure easier and earlier sale.

1t does seem to us that there ought
