More than ten years have
elapsed since the first issue of.
our paper. As we began, so
have we, continued plodding.
along attentive only to our own
business and letting others
alone. For somewhat more
than two years of the war the
publication of this paper sus-
pended owing to circumstances
impossible to control. But for
the balance Of the time we have
endeavored to DO justice to our
patrons, to ourself and our
community BY issuing regular
Iva clean sheet in every sense
OF, the word. We fatter our
self that our Typography has
been equal in neatness and cor
RICHNESS to that of any paper in
the State. Perhaps our paper
has not been at all spicy, but
we have thought it better to
leave out all seasoning rather
than throw in such condiments
as abusive and pugnacious
cards, obscene inuendos and
sensational news. Oftentimes
we feel ashamed that our sue
cess has not been equal to that
of many papers i'll our centers
OF trade; but when we reflect
on the short lives and irregu-
larlty Of issue of the majority
OF country newspapers, we feel
rather proud even of our mega
tive virtues Of long life, neat
ness and regularity, Our pa
A
irons have stood by us thus far,
for which we are thankful. AS
our past has been, SO we will
endeayor to make our future,
as long as We publish this pa
per, a good parish paper we
hope to continue.
5 Since the war there has not
been the mail facilities through
out the parish as was formerly,
and consequently the citizens
have not proited as much by
the Banner. But let us hope
for better times in that regard.
And now kind patrons, We
will mend our pen, grind our
scissors and make a new ''rol-
ler," preparatory to future la
bors.

The formation of four new I


parishes by the last Legislature
has created a strong desire in
would-be Office holders to make
every little settlement a parish.
We are continually hearing of
endeavorS that will be made to
] get the Legislature at it's COM
4 ing session to cut up these four
northwestern parishes into
several more smaller ones.-
Every one is continually crying
out for reduction of taxes and
yet many are perpetually adj
vocating those measures that
will increase our burdens
Where is the imperious neces-
. sity of creating smaller par
ishes +? The parishes in this
section of the State are about
, of average size with the cOun-
ties of our most fiourishihg
States. A glance at the map
will show that New York,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
! Alabama and indeed a majority
of the States have large COIN
, ties. England is old in expe-
rience in this matter, and many
of her counties are larger than
Bossier parish, Yorkshire for
, instance, with two millions of
inhabitants. If this custom of
creating small parishes should
continue, our posterity will be
+ compelled to unite several into
f "a county and let the parishes
: stand in the place of the pres
= ent wards.
But the great popularity OF
f these propositions for new par
D ishes is, that the people to be
: effected are never consulted.
i, Petitions are never circulated,
| but strange to say, subscription
t lists are, on the sly. Occasion
ly we hear of a certain PROPOSE
: ton as being bound to &C
} through, because SO much has
n been raised to affect the Legis-
I lature. ' ~
J. Now, in a body so large as
h our Legislature, some few may
i have extremely itching palms
e but we cannot believe that the
majority are so affected. And
how little and mean must oul
parish-makers estimate oul
: Legislature when they think
that five or six thousand dollars
> would bride them.
The proposition affecting
Bossier are two: One is, t
. take that portion of Bessie
northwest Of Bodcau and tina
portion of Caddo north of Sod
Lake and form a parish, Will

THE ELECTION IN MISSISSIPPI.
-Alcorn has been elected Gov
lernor of Mississippi. This, Will
no doubt be received by the Rad
icals as most significant triumph;
and so at first glance it would APP
pear. Is it true? In the election
of Alcorn what have they achiev-
ed? The defeat of Democracy!
No! for the Democratic party was
notpresuming toenter the canvass.
They did not contest the race
They had no favorite in the field,
and though many of them sup
ported Dent, they did it as the
choice of two evils. In Mississippi
pi, as in Texas, the would.be
leaders of the Democratic party
discouraged and frown down all
attempts at Democratic party OF,
ganization. They abandoned all
principle. They formed unho!y
alliances, and became parties to
an unnatural coalition. They de-
based themselves by becoming
the advocares of a policy which
they knew to be wrong, and, which
they would excuse to their friends
by saying "that it is the best we
can do" Had Dent nave oeen
elected Governor Of Mississippi
we should not have claimed it as
a Democratic success, because
Dent, himself, never claimed to
be Democrat. Now that Alcorn
has triumphed, we SHALL no adj
nit it as a Democratic defeat
The result may be. briefly stated.
In the election of Aleorn we have
