The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1877-06-28

was clear, elegant and appropriate,
While the manner of delivery was de-
cldedly pleasing.
AT the close of the Address, which
was listened to throughout with pro-
found attention, Col. P. w. H. Cum
ming, of Shreveport, begged few
minutes indulgence while he placed
before the people the advantages that
would accrue to our parish from the
establishment of the North Louisiana
Agricultural and Mechanical Fair AS
ISOLATION. This was not down in the
bills, but the opportunity was a good
one, and the Col. was too much of
business man not to see and improve
| it. We learn that 80 shares of stock
were taken in about the same number
of minutes.
| The dinner, served in a grove near
the church, was heartily enjoyed by
all. 1t had been many hours since
breakfast, and for this reason, the
juicy barbecued meats and the other
substantials and delicaeies spread out
upon the ample tables, were rendered
all the more palatable.
After dinner, the Ball was opened,
and music and dancing chased away
the flying hours, until midnight warm
ed the jewellers of the Sabbath's dawn.

g The Rev. DR.. Baker, of Jeffer-
son, Texas, reached our town on Thurs
day last, and since Friday, has been
preaching nightly and holding morning
prayer meetings at the church. He
is over so years of age, and is quite
feeble, physically, though his intellect
seems unimpaired, and he breaches
with force and effectiveness.
DG Thomas J. Lay, an old citizen
of our parish, died at his residence, OH
Friday, June 22d, 1877. Mr.. Lay was
a quiet, unobtrusive old gentleman,
respected for his truthfulness and hon
