stop Croaking-

There is yet a great deal of croaking
going on in our city about the dullness
of the times and complaining that busi-
ness is not as good as it ought to be.
Who does this come from? Is it not
from those who are always complaining.
no matter how good the times may be?
You don't hear the active. wide-awake
merchant complaining: he has no time
to be standing around waiting for some-
thing to turn up, but is around trying
to turn up something. Most always we
hear the ones complaining who haze
made all they have right in the town
they are always abusing. When it
takes little rustling around to make
ANYTHING they begin to complain. If
you can't say something good about
your town or locality don't say anything.
and if things are as bad as you say they
are why don't you move out and give
room to better men who will take YOUR
place and not always be finding fault?
1t would be a good thing if some of our
old kickers would back themselves up
in corner and kick themselves to death
some day soon or quit.

The Success Of A Young Physician.

To chronicle the success of our
friends is an agreeable task to the
journalist, and it is with personal
pleasure that we announce the recent
election of DIR. I. Edgar Schumpert as
chief surgeon of the Charity Hospital
of Shreveport.
DIR. Schumpert is the only son Of DR..
j. |. Schumpert, of Greenwood, and his
professional career claims five years of
usefulness. He is graduate in medi-
cine of the University of Louisville.
where he studied for three years and
was instructed in surgery las speciality
by Drs. Roberts and Yandell. DR..
Roberts, recognizing the promise of
his pupil, offered DR.. Schumpept a
fatteriGg opening in Louisville. but the
young physician, with commendable
patriotism, preferred to return to
Louisiana. DR.. Schumpert's first prac-
tice was at Springridge, and in the
past two wears he has twice visited
New York to take special courses in
surgery at the Polytechnic. More than
a year ago, DIR. Schumpert became as
sOciated with the management of the
Shreveport Charity Hospital as assist
ant surgeon, and upon the recent resig-
nation of Dir. j. w. Allen. chief sur
geon, he was elected to that RESPONSE
BILE position. In his charge, the offices
of assistant and chief surgeon have
been merged into one.
DR.. Schumpert is "a young man of
bright attachments. He is able and
ambitious as "a physician-is possessed
OF sterling character and marked sa-
voir-vivre. He enjoys the esteem of
the medical fraternity here. and in his
promotion to the place of chief surgeon
of the Charity Hospital, an honor has
been wOrthlly bestowed.
