What / Live For.

I live for those who love me,
Whose hearts are kind and true,
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit, too;
For the human ties that bind me,
For the task by God assigned me,
For the bright hopes left behind me,
And the good that can do.
l live to learn their story
Who've suffered for my sake,
To emulate their glory,
And to follow in their wake;
Bards, patriots, martyrs, sages,
The noble Of all ages,
Whose deeds crowd history's pages,
And times great volume make.
I live to hold communion
With all that is divine,
To feel there is a union
Twixt natures heart and mine;
To profit by afhiction,
Reap truths from fields of fiction,
Grow wiser from conviction,
And fulfil each design.
I live to hail that season,
By gifted minds foretold,
When men shall rule by reason,
And not alone by gold;
When man to man united.
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall be lighted
As Eden was of old.
I live for those who love me,
For those who know me true,
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit, too;
For the cause that lacks assistance.
For the wrong that needs.resistance,
For the future ia the distance,
And the good that I can DO.

Parish Site Removal Question
Again.

Why change our parish site
again /? Have we not already had
enough contention over this mat
ter? For years and years-be-
ginning in the fall of 1866-the
removal of our parish site was
the vexed questionable burning
issue with us, to the detriment of
all public enterprise or progress.
Constantly menaced, Bellevue
could not build up-could only
stand still until its final over
throw. When this took place,
those of us who were forced to
abandon our homes and the sacred
resting places of loved ones, fond
" hoped and believed that the
issue was settled, at least, for our
day and generation. But not so.
We were hoping against hope
With only a few years of rest from
agitation and not much more than
time to pay for our new homes,
we are again confronted by this
hydra headed, and it seems, ire
pressible, monster, "Removal."
Certainly the good citizens of
Bossier parish have had enough
of this suicidal issue, and are en-
titled to a long and much needed
rest from any further parish site
agitation. We have all the nee
essary public buildings here-new
and in excellent condition and all
paid for by the people and for the
people. Benton is conveniently
located; has an abundance of
both wood and water-wells, cis-
terms and springs. It has never
experienced a "water famine, -
like many cities and more preten-
tious places. We have a school
unsurpassed for excellence any
whore outside of a large city
good churches and a citizenship
worthy of any town or city. The
town is young, vigorous and
healthy, and though its progress
may not be as rapid as some may
desire, itpromises a slow, but sub
stantial growth. Why not let
well enough alone, Give and let
live," and give the citizens OF
Benton a chance to hold their
homes and improve their town.
They are here in good faith, and
are certainly entitled to better
treatment than the destruction oil
their homes and firesides.

Article 278 of the Constitution

The editor of the Banner hopes
that the parish site removal con-
test viii engender no bitterness or
ill-feeling among our people. It
is not necessary that it should,
and will profit neither side.-
Speaking for ourself, while we
shall be earnest and determined
in our opposition, we entertain a
friendly feeling only toward those
who are seeking to build up their
town, and in doing SO are striving
to secure the parish site; but in
this contest we are fighting for
our homes and firesides, and will
do all that we can fairly to defeat
our friends who favor the removal
OF the parish site, and are in the
tight "from start to finish''-can-
didly believing that a majority of
the voters of Bossier parish are
with US, and will cordially help us
to thoroughly ''finish" our Bos-
sier City friends on the removal
question. After that is accom-
pished, the Banner wishes them
Godspeed in all their efforts of up
building and advancement, and il
needs be, will lend a helping hand,
tor the Banner is ever disposed
to be friendly to every locality in
the parish, and all of it's people.
