PERSONALS.

Mr.. j. NJ. Lee, Jr., land agent for
the v, S. q =. Railway company,
paid The PROGRESS an appreciated
call Thursday. We are always
pleased to meet our friends, among
whom it gives US pleasure to number
Nc. Lee.
Mr.. o. B. Colquitt, editor of that
sprightlv paper, the Times-Star, of
Terrell, Tex, dropped in on HE
PRoGREss during his visit to this city
last week.
We were extremely pleased to
meet Prof. Joseph l.. Johnston, OF
the Mentor, published at Plain Deal
ing, last Thursday morning. Mr.
Johnston is not only editor of a
sprightly weekly journal. but is like
wise principal Of the Pioneer High
School, one of the best equipped in
stitutions of its kind in this country.
He is a polished. genial gentleman,
such as gives one pleasure to con-
verse with.
Rev. j. Nj. Porter, of Colmesneil,
Tex editor of the Parsonage Record,
paid The PRoGREss a pleasant call
Monday. AS a memento of his visit
to Shreveport. he left the effect of
two sermons, full of life and hope
for eternal habitation in that Beauti
full Land.
Mr.. Howard G. Smith, editor and
manager of the Animal Herald of
of New Orleans, La, paid The PRoG-
REss an appreciate d call Wednesday.
Mr.. Smith was in former years con-
nected with the morning Democrat of
this city as travelling agent while the
editor and manager of The PROGRESS
were city editor and manager of the
same paper. We had an agreeable
chat with our old friend, who with his
wife, was on his way to visit friends
and relatives in Bossier parish.

DON'T BE BASHFUL.

With the exception OF MIR. blan-
chard. the aspirants for Congressional
bonors in the Fourth district seem
to be leading a kind of still hunt; a
sort of "how-do-y outhink-l-would-
suit-the-people" queried to different
ones of some local standing in each
community, or getting some local
paper to suggest their names for the
office and note how it will take with
the dear people. Oh, these poiIti-
clans are sly, they are very sly But
gentlemen, if you want MIR. Dlan-
chard's place, just come out in the IHE
PRoGREss and say so. You may be
hiding your light under a bushel'"
your modesty may be keeping an ex
cellent man out of Congress, thus
preventing the people from selecting
the best man. Now consider that the
people have rights which you should
respect, and give them an opportunity
of sending you, the man they want,
instead of some one who is not their
choice. but must be taken from neces-
ity.

LOUISIANA FLOUR.

The PROGRESS is in receipt of a
package Of flour, sent us from Mans
field. The wheat was raised in De-
Soto, and the grinding was done by
mill at or near Mansfield. This
-four is in every way equal if not su-
perior to the very best to be found in
our markets, and does but show that
ia North Louisiana there is no reason
why grain should not take the place
of cotton to great extent.

DHAYMEN'S PARADE.

The annual parade of the Dray-
mems Benevolent Association took
place yesterday, and was quite a
creditable affair. On these occasions
numerous enterprising business men
take advantage of the situation to &C =
vertise the various items in their lines
of trade, and it is an interesting study
to note, by them, the different ideas
of taste and ingenuity Of the men
themselves. Some of the floats and
drays we're tastefully set off with bar =
ners, flags, streamers, etc, while the
wares themselves were arranged in
an exceedingly tasteful manner, and
others were gotten up with a reckless
abandon.
Among the displays worthy of spe-
cial notice were those of Mr.. L. M.
Melton. Bnckelew & Peasants, The
Southern Hardware Company, Mack
Wellman, "The Fair Howard and
Martin, negro blackshiths. who had a

To the Public:
SHREVEPORT, La, Aug. 2, 1092.-ln
reference to the affair batween Mr..
G.. d. Hicks and myself, l desire to
make amends for my hasty actions.
lam now convinced that | erred
greatly in preferring charges against
the Messrs. Hicks, as they were but
doing what | and every Southern gen
tleman would have done under the
circumstances, viz: protecting their
family from insults, and shonid our
positions have been reversed, shonld
have as quickly resented the interior
ence as did they, even though an Of
iicer was the one so dong.
In reference to my article pub
lished in Sundays issue OF the Times,
now admit that my attack on MIR.
G. ID. Hicks character was unjust
and unwarranted, and / hereby re-
tract the charges contained therein,
and withdraw the sentiment 1t ex-
pressed. / am sorry to confess that
my actions did lay me liable to the
inference drawn by The PROGRESS,
but 1 did not appear in my true light,
which is a due respect for ladies, and
the man who will protect them; and
shonld the emergency arise, L Will be

PROGRESSIVE FARMING.

Several stalks Of corn ten and
twelve feet high with nice full
grained roasting ears on them at
tracted considerable attention in the
front of TIE PRoGREss office Thurs
day. They were left there by Mr..
W. T. Monkhouse and were the re-
suits of corn planted in May and
June on the same glolnd that
crop of Irish potatoes had been
Used from, and was cultivated without
the use of a hoe, but with plows after
the manner described by "Jewella
Farmer" in The PRoGREss some
months ago. This is progressive
farming indeed.

SOME FINE CORN.

Our friend Mr.. w. 7. Monkhouse
left at The PRoeREss Office, two ears
of corn which would delight the
fancy of any farmer. They are the
Giant Broadgraiu variety, and are
certainly we'll named. Not only are
the grains large, white and well
formed, but the ears are mann
moth IN size and length, and
certainly sets at naught any assertion
that North Louisiana is not a fine
corn producing locality.

NJ. A. BoYNTON.

Referring to the difference above
noted, there seems to have been
mistake in the use of language. OF
ficer Boynton now states that he did
not make the charge against my
brother and myself at all, and simply
entertained those preferred by the
negro, and though he told me that 1t
was he (boyntou) who had done SO,
he simply intended to convey the idea
that he was the one who received
them when they were made. tie
says it is the custom of officers at the
station to simply record the name OF
the one so appearing as witness,
while the officer signs the charge.
This being true, I cheerfully with
draw what have said or written rel
alive to Officer Boynton's being the
champion of the negro brute:
