An Oil Mill in Bossier.

The Caucasian of the 18th gives
the following:
The Caucasian man has interview
ed Mr.. Will Mccormick in regard to
tho new oil mill that has been spoken
of in the past few days, and he in
formed him that he had sold fifteen
acres of ground to Messrs. Culberson
& Harmon, representing a large syn
dictate who already own four or five
oil mills. The ground purchased is
at the intersection of the Cotton
Belt and Vicksburg, Shreveport and
Pacific railroads, opposite Shreve-
port, in Bossier parish, the price paid
being $500. The company will
erect three buildings the largest four
stories high; one for the oil mill,
one for seed and ono for refining.
the number of men employed will be
from 125 to 15O The mill is to be
$50 ton capacity. Mr.. Culberson is
manager of the mill at Paris, Texas
The gentlemen named have beed en-
deavoring to close a contract with
Mr.. diff for brick, and yesterday de-
sired to have him sign a contract to
furnish the amount of brick necessary
for the building, but Mr.. diff hay
ing the contract for the Kansas City,
Shreveport and Gulf shops on hand,
and other contracts, had not given
them final answer. Mr.. Culberson
said they will begin work as soon as
the brick contract is secured, and he
expects to be able to rnu the mill by
the first or middle of October with
machinery of the latest improvement.
This enterprise, although located
in Bossier, will contribute to the ma
terial prosperity Of Shreveport, and
is only the beginning of other great
industries which are to come in the
near future.

Letter From Mack.

Have been rusticating for a few
days around the old home near
Midway, and find crops very much
parched for want of rain. Went
fishing in Cypress but had very poor
luck.
Found the public roads almost i'm
passable, and hope the time may
soon come when we may have better
ones, They say time changes all
things, but | can't see whore the last
eight years have changed our roads,
except for the worse.
I did sec many changes, however,
in the old neighborhood. Many OF
those we once knew are there NO
more. Some are dead, others have
moved away, and still others have
moved in This is the case in every
neighborhood, I suppose, but it is
more ssnsibly realized by one who
visits seldom. These things remind
US that we are changing every day.
In the battle of life we all strive
to keep on top, and when the battle
is over, we are but little better of
than when it began, and many of us
not SO well off especially in morals
We are moving all the time, every
one of US are either growing better
or worse. In which direction are
you tending, my brother?
To-day have been watching some
little children Of tender years as
they are launching out on life's
troubled sea. They are innocent
/ pure and spotless now. What viii
forty years of the trials, troubles, ups
and downs of life bring to them
How kindly should we deal with
them. How lovingly should we al
monish them knowing that they
must fill our places soon, and leac
others to glory or despair.

The Democratic Nominee.

For the first time in the history
of American politics man has won
the nomination for the Presidency
by oratory, and for the first time in
the history of American politics has
man less than 40 years OF age re-
ceived the nomination for the Pres
idency-those are the accomplish
ments of William Jennings Bryan,
whom the Democratic party on last
Friday selected rs the party's stan
dard bearer. The nomination of
Bryan was one Of the many surprises
of the tremendous silver wave
Although there was not moro earn
est or ADLER exponent of tho silver
cause than the young Nebraskian,
still until Thursday, when be doliv-
cred his famous speech, he was not
looked upon even as q possibility.
But it was that speech that placed
him at the head OF his party and we
lope at the head of the Government.
If Bryan ever had any Presidential
aspirations, or ever entertained the
slightest idea before the Convention
assembled of being nominated, it
was never mado public, There were
others, whose longer years of service
to the party gave them more claims
to the nomination. Bland, tho father
of the silver movement, was under
the circumstances, the most logical
candidate. But the popularity of
the principle to which the Missourian
was so devoted was due in a measure
to Bryan's eloquence, and when in
the very height of his glory, having
witnessed in the Convention the
result Of the silver ground swell, he
delivered that silver Grafton, the
climax was reached, and with q won.
derful spontenaiety there was rally
to him, and the honor, unsought and
unexpected, was thrust upon him.
As an orator, he is without a peer
Possessed with great personal mag
netism, strong physically and intel
lectually, aggressive in every sense
of the word, it is doubtful if the Con
vention could have selected mar
better qualified for the fight that is
in store for the party.
