Removal Of Bossier PARISH
Seat.
Read and Consider !

Read and Consider
TO THE VOTERS OF Boss1ER PARISH.
On Friday, September 7th, next,
you will be called on to decide
whether or not your Parish Seat shall
be changed. If majority of you
on that day shall vote For Removal,
the Court house may be removed,
under the law as passed by the last
Legislature, to one of five places
designated in the act, but to which
one of the five no man can now tell
with reasonable certainty. This an
certainty should prompt every voter
that does not prefer any one Of these
five places to Bellevue, to vote, at that
election, Against Removal, for the
probabilities are that, if removal be
carried, the Court house will be locat-
ed at point which is not the choice
Of a majority of the voters of your
parish.
Although Bellevue is about four
miles from the Eastern boundary, it
is nearly on a line drawn east and
west through the geographical cen
ter of your parish, and, while each
ward of the parish, Except ward one,
which contains the fewest) has about
the same number of white voters,
majority of the voters, both white
and colored, reside south of this east
and west line. Hence Bellevue is near
er the center of population than any
place mentioned in the act providing
for this election. Suppose the Court
house should be removed to Alden's
Bridge, or Benton, it is evident that
the people south of Bellevue will be
compelled to travel at least 16 miles
further than they do now, and, if the
final election should be in favor of
Haughton, Their, all people north of
Bellevue must travel 10 miles further
to Court house than they now do
Many Of the citizens of ward one
live 80 or 40 miles from Bellevue
Do a majority Of the voters of Bos-
sier wish to make them travel 16 or
Is miles further to Court at Alden's
Bridge or Benton' Many of the cit
zens of wards 3 and 4 reside Is or
30 miles from Bellevue. Is it the
wish of majority of their fellow
Pensioners to force them to travel
10 miles further to Court at Haugh-
toni These examples of inconven-
fence as to distance apply to Bossier
City, although in less degree.
But it is urged that the two Rail
roads running through the parish
obviate these objections. The an
swer to this is plain and pointed. A
large majority of the people who are
called to the Court house cannot
travel thither by rail, and Courts do
not regulate their business by the
arrival and departure of railroad
trains. A citizen in the northern
portion of your parish, summoned to
Court, would not likely ride to de-
pot on Shreveport and Arkansas road,
await the arrival of a train, remain
over. night in Shreveport, and travel
over ", S. and P. Railroad next day
to Haughton to Court, and the Court
would not likely tolerate such easy
stages of travel for witnesses, or
jurors The same reason would apply
to those going to Alden's Bridge or
Benton from southern part of the
parish. Jurors and witnesses in
Bossier win not as rule 60 to Court
By rail. They come now in wagons
sud on horseback, and a majority Of
them viii continue to do SO no matter

No fountain so small but that
Heaven may be imaged in IS bosom.
Little duties are golden ins to faS'

An ounce of generous praise will
do more to make a manyour friend
than a pound of fault.
Riches take wings, cmforts van

There are words that can seperate

The eyes of other people are the
