A Card.

We learn that certain parties are
reporting through the parish, for
political capital, that we Will not
vote for our nephew, W. B. Boggs,
who is now a candidate for Repre-
sentative, and trying to leave the
impression that we do not consider
him worthy and that, if his own
uncle, with whom he has been rails
ed, will not vote for him, no one
should. So, in justice to him,
(Boggs), We will here state that such
report is entirely false, and that
those who know him best are his
strongest supporters, and that we
shall support him, and know him to
be worthy of the support of every
voter in the parish of Bossier.
Very Respectfully,
s. A. BOGGs.
F. M. BARNETT.

With this number the Bossier
Banner enters npon its 9th volume.
The first number of the Banner was
;.sued July 1, 1859, and we have
oublished it regularly ever since
accept when suspended during the
vsr. from September q, 1862, to
July 16, 1S65-with this exception,
N. missing a number of the paper
daring all the many years of its ex-
;aeuce, nearly twenty-nine years.
This is q long time in the life of an
Individual or an enterprise, and the
oouseouent changes in that period
must necessarily be great and many.
Goyeruments rise and fall-empires
crow into splendor and power and
are shattered into pieces-great men

lutiouize the world with their match.
less eloquence and disappear for
ever-many pass away and others
step forward to take their places
and 90 on through the countless
phases in the great drama of these
many eventful years. In all this
time midst all the startling events
that nave occurred abroad and at
home the Banner has lived and pros
oered in the affections of the people
vbom it has endeavored to serve
frst, last and all the time. With
out being charged with egotism we
do not hesitate to say it could MOI
be otherwise-for in sunshine and
in shade it has been their constant
and devoted friend, and these years
Of repeated confidence and patron
age through the same channels is
living testimonial of their best
aud highest appreciation. For
more than a quarter of a century
the Banner has fought the peoples
battles, and it is equipped, we hope,
for many years more of the same
kind of service. We have made it
our business to find the news and
print it, to learn the truth and tell
IT. No good cause has ever lacked
the support of the Bossier Banner
No bad cause has ever knowingly
had its aid.
At other periods similar in char.
acter to tho present we have,
at length, referred to the many
changes in this parish as the Banner
year by year deepeued its shadow
on the dial, and shall not make a
repetition of these now.
/ SO far as the Banner is concerned
. retrospect OF the past twelve
months furnishes gratifying results
and It we fully understand our rela
tive duties to its readers, we promis
TO bring to the discharge of the new
volume the best efforts of our mine
and heart. This done, we feel tina,
as 10 the past so in the future, W
shall grow in their appreciation an
thus obtain their signal endorse
ment and enCOura pement.
