Death of a Loving Mother.

The all-wise and powerful Creator has
seen fit to call Mrs. w. H. Huckabay
from her earthly home to her everlasting
home IN heaven. God knew best when
He separated these two congenial souls,
DR.. w. H. Huckabay and his devoted
companion.
Pearl Magnora Poland was the only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Nick Poland,
of Monroe, and was born at Sparta,
Bienville parish, September is, 1875,
and died at her home in Koran, Bossier
parish, November 81. 1904.
She was united in marriage to DR..
w. H. Huekabay December Is, 1894, at
Vernon, jackson parish. Their married
life was blessed with five chihren-two
girls and three boys-the last being a
boy, the mother living only three days
after his birth.
She was devoted mother. and under
her genial ministrations was developing
in her children the same winsome and
ennobling characteristics that she pos
sessed.
When in Sparta she gave her heart to
God and joined the Baptist church.
Several years later she re-joined by
letter at Koran and remained faithful
christian up to the time of her death.
In faith, in feeling and in her practical
life she was most perfect christian
woman. Only those who knew her best
and could look into her inner life can
realize what noble character has been
taken from among us. She was the
sunshine of her home and her soft, sweet
voice welcomed all alike.
| To the children and the SORROW smit-
ten companion, bearing the Creates
grief that can ever come into their lives
we offer our heartfelt sympathy. Wher
lonely and you sigh "for the touch of ;
vanished hand and the sound of voice
that is still" we can only say, look ant
trust in God and after while you will
meet your loved one in heaven.

BANK OF BENTON
Capital Stock $4,000
BENTON, LOUISIANA

TIE who earns a small salary and
IL saves part of it is better Off
than he who earns large salary
and spends all of it. Saving small
amount regularly is laying the foun-
dation of a fortune. Hundreds OF
men have become wealthy in this
way while hundreds have been kept
poor by spending all their earnings.
The wise man chooses the better
course and places part of his earn
ings in the bank. The steady &C
emulation of funds that are i'm
mediately accessible in case of an
emergency gives one that confidence
which comes only from the knowl-
edge of ready money in safe place.
As the bank account grows the in
evitable 1'rainy day" loses its terror.
I We earnestly solicit the patron
age and influence of all, and espec-
tally the citizens of Bolster parish.
This bank is destined to become of
great benefit to the town and parish,
and from it.every citizen will derive
a benefit-directly or indirectly. A
prosperous bank denotes prosper
Gus country; therefore, it is to your
interest personally to patronize the
Bank of Benton, which affords every
safeguard for its depositors and
every convenience for its patrons.
Pronpt and courteous treatment to
all. Correspondence solicited.

Upright and honest bus mess men,

maliciously attacked with the sole
idea that money might be influenced
from them TO the Golfers of the gang

The editor further declares the
firms he recommended we're fraudu-
lent and country people we're there
by defrauded OF thousands OF
dollars.
just why this incident should
cause "vast amazement' Is "a
puzzle. Thousands of newspapers"
exist solely upon such gratis as that
TO which the New York editor con-
fesses. Hundreds OF socalled
financial papers--the higher In
rating the better blackmail the
public by insisting upon paid
nd dvertisements In return for editorial
endorsement. Particularly among
mining journals Ia this '0rt OF thing
common. Not all mining journals
follow this line Of business" but
scores Of publications, printed In
the outward form and garb Of
legitimate class journals, are In
realty published by firms OF pro
mUters wherein the boldest lies
are printed, and wherein the editors,
like the self. f.confessed swindler Of
New York, prostitutes his talents
and lies ~ we'll as steals.
"Vast smazement " NAV be
created by the fact that these things
are 30, but "vast amazement" were
a heap better now than a rified
pocketbook lator on.

The federal court will hold its first
