A Strict Enforcement of Law Needed.

A stlict and prompt enforce
ment of the law would be the best
thing to stop lynching. As long
as influential people with soft
hearts can throw aside reason and
urge the Communication Of death
sentence to long Imprisonment or
a life term, just SO long will pee
pie lynch. All know that man
cannot commit crime so bad
that time will not soften public
feeling against him, and if' the

Big Auction Sale of Real Estate.

Capt. T. A. Frierson, of Atlanta, Ca,
one of the most successful and widely
known land auctioneers in the United
States, is now in Shreveport and will,
on the 10th, 2ist and 22d, auction off
property in Bossier City and West
Shreveport. The first two days of the
sale will be in Bossier City and the last
day in West Shreveport-at Murray
Hill.
Big crowds are expected on the three
days of the sale and extensive prepara-
tions are being made for their comfort
and entertainment. Four lots and two
tickets to the st. Louis Exposition are
to be given away, to say nothing about
the barbecue, music, rides to and from
the city, and other necessities and COM
forts, which are all free. 1t is the inten-
ton to see to it that the visitor and pur-
chaser is well cared for and in no way
Inconvenience.
Capt. Frierson comes to Shreveport
we'll recommended, and has been in the
real estate business over twenty years.
Several Of his sales,' says the Buffalo
IN. W Courier, "such as Hartman,
Cardiff, Kimball, Lookout Mountain, ST..
Louis, New England City, Kensington,
Knoxville, Chickamauga, Chattanooga,
Huntsville, Fort Payne, Roanoke, Va;
Evansville, Ind; Ashville, N. c.; Au-
dubon, N. c., and others, were attended
by men now living in Buffalo, who de-
clare that they were wonderful, and, all
things considered, were never equaled
in the world.
"In four months, during the spring of
1880, Capt. Frierson sold over Sc, OOO, 600
worth of real estate, and in the same
time was forced to decline twenty mine
large sales that were offered him all over
the United States, from the lakes to the
gulf and from ocean to ocean.
He conducts his sales on the high
plane of dignity, truth and fairness, to
which, together with his vast experience
and great skill, is due his matchless sue
cess and record.''
