The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1888-09-13

AT meeting of the North Louis
lana Agricultural Society at the Elk
perimental Farm on the Both ult.,
the following action was taken:
Resolved by the North Louisiana
Agricultural Society, That the recent
combination known as the bagging
trust is another scheme to fleece the
farmers, the supporters of the world.
Resolved further, That we recon-
mend to farmers every where to coun-
teract said scheme as far as possible
by adopting any material as cover
ing of their cotton even at an increas-
ed cost.
Resolved further, That we heartily
recommend q radical change in the
manner of wrapping cotton for mar
ket; that it should be pressed into
100-pound bales and wrapped with
cotton itself; that while the cotton
would be handled more easily and
decently, the demand for the material
would Increase and better prices for
cotton would follow.

The Caldwell Parish Waterman
says: "Most of the bacon handled
by the merchants of this town during
this year has been bought from the
farmers of this and adjoining par
ishes. The meat was all mast fed,
but was very fine, and the price re-
ceiyed, which was, we believe, very
fair, was all clear profit, as it costs
comparatively nothing to raise hog
in this country"

half as badly taken in as Alse Hyames
last week. Mr.. Hyames traded a fan
ming mill to Will Crosby for yearling
steer, neither of them seeing the prop
ertv before the trade. Mr.. Hyames
went after his calf and proceeded to
blindfold it in order to lead it from an
elevation into the back end of his
wagon After accomplishing the feat,
Judge of his astonishment when, on re-
moving the bandage, he found that the
quadruped was stone blind, and as he
afterward learned was born so; but
Alse says he is satisfied for all that, as
the mill which he traded to Crosby
wasn't worth darn.

The Knitting Factory.

A visit TO the Paw Paw knitting fac
tory, located in the lower story of the
town hall, discloses a scene of busy ac-
tivity and well pays the visitor for time
and trouble. The work is all done by
ladies except the running of the spool
ing machine which is manipulated by
Claude Snow. Some of the boys may
think he has soft snap" among so
many girls, but neither he nor they have
any time for play, as the great piles of
work, both finished and in process OF
completion, bear ample witness. The
company have not yet put in an engine
although they contemplate doing so at
some future time. The work done at
this institution is of superior quality,
much better than the ordinary run Of
knit goods, and will compare very IA
vorably with goods made in the old
fashioned way in the days of our moth
ers and grandmothers. The ente~
ing promoters of this ne
are in "A fair way TO achieve thD
they certainly merit.

Not "A NimrOd.

We have been shown letter written
by Geo. M. Ferguson, formerly of this
county, now of Eureka, Cal, describ-
ing hunting trip in which he recently
participated. The letter is evidence
that Mr. Ferguson can hardly be de-
scendant of Nimrod, or if he is, he sad
ly fails in maintaining the reputation
of his ancestor, that mighty hunter OF
ancient times. The hunting party he
describes consisted of four persons, one
of whom was an experienced hunter,
the other three being amateurs. Dur
ing the trip, which was brief one, the
old hunter killed thirteen deer, the
other three barely one. Mr.. Ferguson
had fifteen shots, shooting at one deer
six times, and never got smell. He
speaks of seeing the animals in droves
and says, there are more deer in this
county than there are sheep in Van
Buren county" 1t is quite evident that
no game law is needed to protect them
from such hunters as friend Ferguson.

For the Benefit OF Creditors.

Our people were surprised and panied
to learn, on Thursday last, that Harris
Oppenheim, dealer in hats, caps, boots,
shoes and gents furnishing goods, had
been obliged to make an assignment
Northrup is the assignee and, under his
skilful management, as much will be
saved as is possible. The first claim to
be satisfied, we understand, is chat
tel mortgage given TO Bangor parties
for advances made with which to carry
on the business. During his residence
here, Mr.. o. has made many friends
who all regret his business misfortune
and hope that there are better things
i'm store for him i'm the future.
