We call the attention of our readers e
p. the reduced terms eli the WEEKLY SiiRtNE
:. roRr TIMrs. We have so often in thcs
\, columns expressed our opinion Of til
\, Shreveport Daily and Weekly Times tina
q, We think il now almost useless To max
any repetition. No paper is better know
n, to the people of Claiborne. For man
p. years it was the only journal that We coul
T., look to with reasonable certainty for III

At the meeting of the Executive Con
G. mitt.c on Wednesday last an address WI
II prepared, which is published in this pap"
Decidedly the most pleasant event Of III

be. Capt. Webb has by this act shown
Inc faudabie willingness to stand by the resu
bad and unfair as it may have been.
l. deserves praise for refusing to take n
steps that would break up the party. v
