We are pleased to note that North
Louisiana is receiving recogni-
tion. Our esteemed friend w. w. Bat
tie has recently received an appoint
ment to a position under Collector Will
kinson in the customhouse department.
We not only congratulate friend VIII
in his securing this position of trust,
but think Collector Wilkinson has ex'
ercised good sound Judgment in select
ing so efficient an officer. He is thor
oughly qualified to fill the sSsition ac'
ceptably to all concerned. 1t is hard tc
tell where these government plums viii
drop, yet we will be satisfied if they fal
at all times into the hands OF so worthy
appointments as w. w. Battle.

In Heavens Bright Land.

It Is with unspeakable regret that
we write OF the death of little Cal
Hicks Daughtry, which occurred very
suddenly Tuesday afternoon last at !
O'Clock. at the age Of 6 years and .
months.
Monday morning this little inno-
cent was well and apparently in sound
health, full of vigor and healtbful,
childish pranks and pleasures, but 1t
seemed like the last rays of a sun
gliding the West with its incompar-
ably beauteous hues, before he turns
the world over to darkness complete:
because on the morrow, the beautiful,
spiritual soul ceased to illumine NOR
tality's abode, and little Cal was with
her God, while mother, father, sisters
and brothers are bowed with sorrow
deep, fearful and full of anguish.
1t is always hard to give up those
we love. Even that consolation which
the Great Comforter alone can give
fails of its power in the first days of
affllction, and all the world seems to
weep and join in the sorrow save
when some seem to laugh in dervlsh
glee over the woe of the sufferers.
Little Cal was a child of exception
ally bright spirits and mind and with
the healthful frame which seemed to
bs hers, had often tempted Futurlty
to promise an enviable career, but the
withering blast of the fevers breath
blew up from tho East, it kissed the
sweet. fair cheek of the beautiful lily
and the flower faded, withcred, died
To parents, no one can offer words
of consolation under such trlbulation
and we shall not try. While this
death serves likewise one of the ten
der cords in our own breast, while we
are very close to the family of Mr.
and Mrs. +. A. Daughtry. the griei
stricken parents of this sweet child
still even we feel it to be triflina
with the sacred ties of father anC
motherhood to attempt to use words
to assuage the deep, uucontrollabl'
grief.
1t is our namesake the Father ha
called away, and in that better lan(
it may be that she will be the Star o
Bethlehem to teach the family anC
us, the old story of the birth of thu
heir and King who shall one day
Judge between .he quick and th'
dead, and may the story be proftabl'
to us all.
In conclusion friends, We do extenc
to you the hand of friendship in thi
darkest hour of your lives.

Look Here, Farmers +!

Last Saturday morning gentle
man by the name of J. n. Coyle, liv-
ing near Ansel p o., Bossier parish,
stepped into The PRoGREss office and
modestly inquired if we would like
to purchase some good country lard.
This took Us by surprise. We could
hardly gain our equilibrium for few
moments; when we did we wanted to
know where il was. Mr. Coyle said
that il my wagon standing in front of
your door and finer pair of mules
we have not seen in many day.. He
told us that he brought over 400
pounds of lard and $40 pounds of
country hams, the product of Mr.. l.
Rogers, a farmer living near Ansel.
He had sold all of his hams, which
brought him 1870 pound and had
about closed out bis lar1 at IL &c n
pound. The PRoGREss has been urg-
ing the farmers TO be independent
along this line; of establishing their
own smokehouses in Louisiana in
stead of Kansas City and st. Louis.
If every farmer in North Louisiana
would make up his mind that he
would not purchase anything that he
could produce, we would soon be like
our neighbors from Bossier bringing
in their surplus and disposing of it
at good prices at season Of the year
when the farmer needs money most.
Farmers of Caddo, make a note of
this and take lesson from this Bos-
sier farmer.

Valuable Hints.

Why don't some of our gardeners and
fruit men get move on them and be-
gin to organize that association, and
better their condition in the way of a
better market for what they raise.
Farmers, this has been a profitable
year to you in more ways than one.
You have learned to live on less, and
make your crops on less. Keep on
learning and you will soon be the most
Independent people on earth.
Farmers read the article with the
caption "look here, farmers." Read ii
over twice and see how many of you
will supply Shreveport market with
lard, bacon, etc, of your own home
raising next year. There ought to be a
premium offered by our citizens to the
man who brings in the most.
If we would only devote half as much
time to the development of our soil, ,culti-
walton of fruits, and produce, that we
d to politics, we would soon far exceed
California that has worldwide repu-
tation. We have a long ways better
country, both in so1 and climate, and
don't YOU ever forgAt it.
