close promptly at this office follows:
IlkANS.ATI. ANTIC MAILS
The Progress. (Shreveport, La.) 1892-1900, 1897-02-27

ment but it is fact that Shreve-
port needs at least four funerals.
And when these do take place-if
a kind providence brings them
about--you will see that The Prog
ress will shed no crockodile tears,
nor say that a useful citizen has
been taken away.
The Progress. (Shreveport, La.) 1892-1900, 1897-02-27

officials kept up with all who come
and go, he interviewed several of
them and a private citizen, with
the following results:
Mayor McKellar-"I am of the
opinion we have from $500 to
5000 more inhabitants than we
had is months ago."
Hon. Isaac Barron, (who keeps
about as we'll posted as any man
in Shreveport. ~ think Mr..
Mcclellan is about right in his
estimate. The increase is fully
$500. l think also that within the
next is months it's population will
increase 5000. Everything is
favorable to it's rapid growth
Chief Nelson-It is a part Of the
duty and business o. the police
department to keep wei informed
as to who comes and who goes,
hence the words of Chief Nelson
arc entitled to moro than ordinary
consideration. He said: "The in
crease is fully 1900. regard that
as a very safe and conservative
estimate"
Councilman j. G. Wimbish--.
His duties as chairman Of the i'm
provement committee necessitate
his going all over the city and
suburbs, and his means of in
formation are abundant. He is
a very wide-awake man, and here
is what he says: "The increase is
fully 5000. am quite sure it is
that much.''
Our reporter did not deem it
necessary to see any others. These
four gentlemen come as near know
ing what they are talking about as
any other four men in Shreveport.
Now, take the average figure,
z, 800. Allow Ave to a family, and
we have 500 families. 1t is not
surprising that more than 200 new
dwelling houses have been built
within that period of about Is
months, and that more are needed.
Shreveport has grown, is grow
ing now, and will continue to
grow. Mr.. Barron is right, the
conditions are favorable to a more
steady and rapid growth during
the next year or two.
The Progress. (Shreveport, La.) 1892-1900, 1897-02-27

We still say that no fair-minded
editor will clip an article and credit
it to Eek. And this is true though
it be the Picayune or New York
World which does the unmanly
and discourteous act. That is the
way The Progress views the mat
ter and it really has no respect for
a newspaper which will deliber-
ately do it.

Sisters and Brethren!
You will remember that at our
last meeting, held atLake Charles,
it was decided that our next
meeting should be held at a place
to be designated by an executive
committee to be apo inted by the
President. Some of the members
have already expressed a prefer
ence for New Orleans, at a time
Immediately preceding that on
which the Western Associatio N
would assemble at the same place,
assigning as reason that this
would insure a larger attendance
from our State on that of the Wes-
tern Association. But Brother w.
G. Chevis, of Baton Rouge Advo-
cate, has made a suggestion which
l think demands your serious con-
sideration, and one on which all
should express themselves. This
is an excursion by river steamer
from New Orleans to ST. Louis;
while Brother Dicharry, of Inte-
rim, has proposed a railroad ex-
cursion to Nashville, Tennessee.
Efther, it occurs % TIE, would be
immeasurably instructive as we'll
as enjoyable, and as the cost can
be reduced to n figure sufficiently
low-And Brother Chevis thinks
1t can be, not more than S20each, l
think the members would do well
to take the matter up.
What do you say? Suppose l
appoint q committee of three to
ascertain what each of the trips
will cost? You, in the mean time,
by personal correspondence with
me as we'll as through your papers,
expressing your choice of the two,
or objection to both? Provided of
course-if you vote aye, that the
cost will not be more than $50
each.
OF course in Investigating the
matter the committee will have to
know about how many will go, as
this will govern the price. There
is plenty of time, but bring the
subject up now so as to have it
freely discussed.
am aware that this move on my
part is a little irregular, but when
it is done to let oil have n voice in
the matter, for the benefit and en-
ioyment of the members solely,
feel fully persuaded that the Assoc
citation will sustain me herein.
Yours Truly 2nd Fraternally,
G. D. HICKS, President.
