Mayor Hamley has put on duty a night marshal for the balance of the winter. The duty of the night mar shal is one of very great importance and we hope the mayor told him what was expected of him. The night mar shbal's place is on the streets and not in houses. We know that it is very cold for him, but he has accepted the place, and he must attend to it. The large funeral of Prof. J. A. Harris on Friday last showed the high esteem in which he was held by hie people. The procession was very long, and over one hundred pupils of his school followed the remains to the Providence Cemetery. Presiding Elder Chinn, preached the funeral services, in which he eulogized Prof Harris as a scholar and educator. On Saturday evening last our friend Tom Gllham of Way-a-Way, broughi us in the finest treat we have had It many a day--it was a 16-pound plece of venison, fat and juicy.

II. W. Knicker bocker of Lake Providence, La., offi ciating. - Mr. Amacker comes from an old and well known family of Amite parish, La. His father, an able lawyer, has for years been a prominent factor in State politics. Mr. Amacker fol lowing in the footsteps of his father, adopted the law as his profession and has already established a lucrative practice in New Orleans, where be makes his home. Knowing his tal ents and energy we feel safe in pre dicting for him a foremost place at the bar of Louisiana. The lady of his choice is well known to the people of our parish. She is of Scotch parent age and possesses to an exceptional degree the gentle, though sturdy, and reverent characteristics of her people. The salient features of her character are purity and sweetness. And, though it be not so in all cases, her soul seems to have molded her body into perfect harmony with itself, and in her case Emerson's position isemi nently true, that "the material is but the dial-plate of spiritual." In her presence one breathes an atmosphere untainted by the sordid and earthy. Whatever the future has in store, Mr. Amacker will never have greater cause for congratulation than for hav ing won the hand of this fair lady. The wedding was quiet yet elegant. The parlors were exquisitely decorated with green house plants, ferns and chrysanthemums. During the playing of a beautiful wedding march the hap py pair advanced into the room and in the solemn hush that followed, they were pronounced "man and wife." The spirituelle beauty of the bride was emphasized by her simple dress of white silk, trimmed with ;chiffon and lace, and her ornaments of pearl. After receiving the congratulations of their friends the bridal party and guests drove to Chattanooga where a sumptuous lunch was served. At 6 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Amacker left for Atlanta amid showers of rice and good wishes. After a few days at the Exposition " they will be at home to their friends at 2823 Baronne street, New Orleans. It is reported to us that a certain ri gang in the lower parishes of the it levee district will try to have Judge o W. G. Wyly ousted from the Board or a keep him from being re-appointed fi by the next governor. It is said Judge cl Wyly has done something on the p board that has displeased certain per- ft sons and that they have it in for him. S Judge Wyly is the best levee man in u the State, and we do not believe that I Governor Foster would do anything c I so foolish as to remove him or not ap- C point him again to the same position F that he has filled with so much credit to himself and to the people that he I represents. Should be not be re-ap-j pointed the people of East Carroll t would rise up in arms and insist upon the Governor giving him a place on rthe board, to which he has done so much honor. The popularity of Chamberlain's rCough Remedy and the high esteem Sin which it is held leads us to believe I Sit to be an artile of great worth and I Smerit. We have the pleasure of giv- I Sing the experience of three prominent I Scitizens of Redondo Beach, Cal., in the Suse of the remedy. Mr. A. T. Trudell Ssays: "I have always received prompt Srelief when I used Chamberlain's 1 Congh Remedy." Mr. Tames Orchard says: "I am satisfied that Chamber lain's Cough remedy cured my cold." Mr. J. Batcher says: "For three years I have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in my family and its results have always been satisfactory." For Ssale by J. S. Guenard.

It possesses some I medical properties that relieve the lit. tie sufferers immediately. It is, in my r opinion, the best cough medicine in the market." If this remedy is freely given as soon as the croupy cough ap pears it will prevent the attack. It is also .n ideal remedy for whooping cough. There is no danger in giving it to children, as it contains nothing inuorous. For sale by J. S. Guenard.

Albeit Harris. the principal of the Lake Providence colored school, died on Thursday evening, the 28th of Nov. 1895. Professor Harris was a native of Virginia. having been born in Spotsylvanla county about thirty-two years ago. His parents early removed to Washington, where he had the fullbenefit of the excellent public schools of that city. He graduated with honors at the High school of that city and began his public career as a teacher in his native State. As an eduestor he occupied Sa .high place among the public school teachers of that state. In the year 1890he came to this parish and taught the Home stead public school two sessions, and his i reputation as a teacher becoming known to the Board of School Directors he was offered and accepted the principalship. of the Lake Providence colored school. This school proved a fine field for the display of his excellent talents as an educator, and he seemed to make the most of his oppor I tunities. He gave universal satisfaction to f the patrons, and Directors of the school, and under his guidance the scholars made rapid progress in literary attainments. He devoted his time and talents to the building up of the school, and assisted in 5 organizing an Educational Association to a awake the citizens of the vicinity to the needs of educational work. Under the ardent and excessive work of f the schoolroom, his health began to decline S early in the year, and it was seeon perceived , that the fell-destroyer Consumption had taken bold of his form, and his strong eon stitution began to rapidly decline until the end peacefully came on the 28th ultimo. During his short stay of three years in 9 our community. Professor Harris won the respect and confidence of both races of this community, and in his death we sus tain the loss of a good citizen and the Board of School Directors sad patrons of t the school an able and eeaaent teacher. e itequlescat in pace.
