Editor Of Banner: While appre-
ciating the compliment paid me in
the last issue of the Banner, I feel
that my duty as physician requires
my constant presence amongst the
people with whom I have cast my
lot. With the earnest hope that a
trusty servant will be chosen by the
people of Bossier to represent them
in the next General Assembly, and
with feeling of profond obligation
to the gentlemen signing the "call,"
and to the editor of the Banner, I am,
Very Truly Yours,

how the game was being worked and
he would have nothing to do with the
convention, and would not support
Mr.. Boggs. That leaves Mr.. Boggs
seven votes.
Opposed to Mr.. Boggs would been
Messrs. Snider, Belcher, Fleming,
Sentell, Campbell, Burks, Herring,
with three votes, and myself-10
votes; and probably large majority
of those participating upon the
motion of the magnanimous Mr..
Boggs."
1t will be readily seen, Mr.. Editor,
that Mr.. Boggs deserves great praise
for his overfowing harmoniousness-
under the circumstances.
AS to the assertion of his friends,
Col. Snider and DR.. Irion, that there
was no authority for such conven-
tion," I corrected Mr.. Boggs at the
time, but it seems to have escaped the
attention of his secretary. Neither
Col. Snider nor myself made any
such assertion. We referred Mr..
Boggs to his having defed the con-
vention which selected Mr.. Wallace
as the candidate of the anti-Lottery
Democrats to make the race in the
primary election for the nomination,
and of his having entered the field
IN opposition-we did not think it
necessary to refer him to the result
of the race-under the laws of racing
he should be ruled off the track for
being distanced.
We denied, most emphatically, the
right of Mr.. Boggs to come before
any Democratic convention to ask for
a nomination after having defed
previous convention. In strict regard
for the truth I have made this state
ment.
Respectfully,
G. Fl. IR1oN.

Proverbs.

A FOOLS lips enter into contention,
and his mouth calleth for strokes.
A fools mouth is his destruction.
and his lips are the snare of his soul.
A frOward man soweth strife, and
whisper separateth chief friends.
The rich ruleth over tue poor, and
the borrower is servant to the lender.
A true witness deIivereth souls:
but deeeittul witness speaketh
lies.
The way of life is above to the
wise, that he may depart from hell
beneath.
Better is dinner of herbs where
love is, than stalled OK and hatred
Herewith.
The heart of the wise teacheth
his mouth, and addeth learning to
his lips.
Let thine eyes look right on, and
let thine eyelids look straight be-
fore thee.
A scorner loveth not ono that re-
proveth him; neither will be 90 unto
the wise.
It is an honor for a man to cease
from strife, but every fool will be
meddling.
A wicked man hardeneth bis face:
but as for the upright, he directeth
his way.
The rich and the poor meet to-
gether; the Lord is the maker of
them all.
The soul of the wicked desireth
evil; bis neighbor fndeth no favor
in his eyes.
Through wisdom is an house
buiided; and by understanding it is
established.
The way of man is froward and
strange, but as for the pure, bis
work is right.
