Grand Jury Report.

We, the Grand Jury, take
pleasure in reporting that but
few crimes have been brought
to our knowledge, committed
since the last term Of court,
and Of these none are Of great
magnitude. We hope and trust
that a better state of morals
now exists in this parish than
has for several years past, and
that the improvement will con
tinue. The strict bringing to
justice Of all offenders against
the law, which seems to be the
determination Of not only our
officials but of the public gen
orally, we are fain to believe
is what accounts for the i'm
provement.
The roads in the parish are
generally in wretched condi-
ton, caused mainly by the
excessive and long continued
rains. Knowing that the over
seers have been unable to have
the roads in proper condition,
we have presented none of
them for dereliction Of duty.
How to have excellent roads
kept up in the thinly settled
portions Of the parish is a
problem hard to solve. But
to keep in good repair the road
from Benton to Shreveport
would not require each road
hand On it to work as long as
the average do on the hills.
This is the most travelled road
of the parish, and is now
hardly passable.
Both the dungeons of the jail
we find in need Of repairs, the
ceiling being torn off and the
floor torn up in several places,
and the timber below begin
ming to decay from water heed
lessly split by the prisoner.
Three good new locks are
needed for the Jail doors.
The brick floor Of the Court
House is much in need of re-
pair. Many panes of glass in
the Court House windows are
broken out. and new ones are
needed. The shutters Of the
office windows, except the
! clerks, are pretty we'll broken

We approve Of the above &C

publication of the laws in coun-

vored by the Board with such
a contraction which we now
thank them-we have always

as we thought there was hope,
worked for its repeal. We ac-
cepted the public printing for
this parish and State in good
faith, but with the distinct I'M
derstanding that it should in
no wise conflict with our jour

agreeing, according to the law,
to do the same Gin a workman

please the Board to rescind it.
We now cheerfuIly abide by
its action. 1t is a step in the
right direction, and the Board
are entitled to credit for it.

The following important de-
clslon was rendered in the SUPERB
or District Court of New Orleans
by Judge Hawkins, and we copy
it for the information of our nler-
camille friends
State Of Louisiana VS.. Louis
Damaie. This was a suit to claim
a license of $50 from defendant as
an additional license to the one of
S15 paid by him to the State as
retail grocer.
Defendant contends that selling
wines and liquors in quantity less
than a gallon does not make him
a coffee-house keeper, nor subject
him to any other than the general
retail license of SIS; that in order
to constitute a coffee house, guests
must be received at the house or
store, and refreshments there
served and consumed; that it is
the occupation that is taxed; and
that a retail grocer, selling III less
quantity than gallon, is pursuing
his Legitimate occupation as a re.
tail grocer, provided that
he does not sell by the glass, OF
entertain guests in the store and
serve them refreshments.
The court sustained the defense
and gave Judgment in favor OF
Louis Damele.

The following items we clip
from the Ouachita Telegraph
Of the Goth inst:
1t is gratifying to us to
state that corn is in very poor
demand. We have never
noticed so little brought to the
market any season befoIe.
Shows in the Rocky Noun
tains. unusually high water in
the Southwest, high taxes,
and late work on the farms
what a prospect for 1874?
The river has risen about
six inches on an average for
several days past. Six feet
will bring the water to the
highest mark reached since the
war, and the probability is it
will be reached and passed.
--latest advices from upper
Mississippi report rains, with
a previous light fall in the
river. The levee is broken in
two places above Delta on the
Louisiana side, and the water
! is pouring through, insomuch
that the Tensas and Macon
swamps are inundated.
The railroad is running a
train from this and also the
Delta end Of the road, a gap
OF seventeen miles intervening
between the termini, which is
covered by water and is tray
ersed in skiffs. The passage
over this overlooked district is
rather tardy, but the novelty
OF the transit almost compen
safes for the annoyance.
The Picayune says "The
spring Of 1874 opens full Of
promise TO our planting inter
ests )" and concludes an ar
tlcle OF some length as follows:
'Altogether the outlook for
1874 in the Gulf States is most
promising" Which goes to
show that a paper published
where the land is all paved,
ought not to speak hastily Of
crop promises.
The weather has been very
unfavorable the past week for
planting operations,o on account
OF excessive rains. The ground
is full Of water, cold, and of
course in no condition for the
pillow. Although past the
middle Of March, but very lit
tie corn has been planted.
That that has come up seems
to meet with no favor from the
cut-WOrmS, and as to their
number we only have to state
that one gentleman has in
formed us that he found sixty
seven at one time under a
single stalk of mustard. What
has been done in the cotton
land, we are not advised, but
suppose most of the land has
yet to be bedded up.

Volume Thirteen.

NUlu1!1S IA ISs1!.
With this number we begin
volume thirteen of the Bossier
Banner, The first number of
the Banner was issued in this
place July .2nd, 1S59-near fif-
teen years .ago-since which
time we have never missed an
issue, excepting the time Of
suspension during the late war.
We make our bow to our
friends and patrons, and thank
them for the kindness and sup
port awarded us in the past.
We have striven for years
worked hard with both brain
and muscle in order to instruct,
interestand amuse our patrons,
and if we have not come up to
their expectations we are con-
fdent it has not been our fault.
AS to the excellencies of the
Banner we leave the paper to
show for itself, and believe that
real good sense dictates that
we allow other people to be
the judges of our merits. We
therefore do not toot our own
horn and fill our paper with
seE-praise. five are meritor-
ious the people have intelli-
gence enough to discover it
themselves, and if we are with
out merit any boastful claim
will not change the fact or
public opinion.
Self-praise in newspaper is
too much like the little boys
picture Of a COW, under which
he found it necessary to write
"this is a COW" in order to have
his sketch understood. A jour
nal without excellence has
need of writing in it, ''this is
an excellent paper" but one
that might with truth make the
assertion, has no necessity to
make it. If the little boys
picture had correctly repre-
sented a COW, the words under
meath would have been out Of
place.
1.-THE Banner is not worthy
of patronage we are too indie
pendent to beg for it. AS in
the past, so in the future, we
shall plod on in the even tenor
OF our way, patiently looking
forward to the day when our
unfortunate, impoverished and
tax-ridden State will stand ere
deemed and disenthralled." -
May He whose ENERGY endur-
eth forever" speed the day Of
good government, order and
peace-which will restore con-
iidence, protect the people, es-
tablish Internal improvements
andinvite an acceptable i'm
1migration-is our earnest
prayer and abiding hope.
Weather clear and pleasant.
