AS no one else in Benton re-
pairs jewelry and as so few
know that such work can be
done here, it is not amis for

the work. But not so. | do

To the People of Bossier Parish.

In view of the fact that yellow fever
exists at several points in this State, it
becomes the duty of every citizen to
render such assistance as lays with his
power to the constituted health author
tiles in order that we may keep the dis
ease from invading the parish. l, there
fore, call upon all public-spirited citi-
zens to carry out the following instruc-
tions, thus hoping to exterminate the
fresh water mosquito, which is the only
known source of danger:
1. Screen and oil cisterns and barrels
containing water. Screens should be OF
Is or 18 to the inch wire gauze, or good
article of domestic. Coal oil should be
applied to water surfaces every ten days.
2. Screen your houses, and sleep
under mosquito nets.
8. Fill up and disinfect mud holes on
your premises. Pulverized coperas or a
solution of bluestone will thoroughly
disinfect if applied to such places.
4. Oil all ponds or pools Of stagnant
water to destroy the malaria bearing
mosquito.
5. Stay at home.
Quarantine Regulations Of Board Of
Health of Bossier Parrish:
Train inspectors in the quarantine
service of Bossier Parish are instructed
to hold all trains entering the parish at
the parish line--or as near thereto as
practicable-long enough to thoroughly
inspect the train.
Inspectors will see that every passen-
ger is provided with satisfactory
health certificate, stamped by the agent
of the railway company selling the
ticket.
Health certificates must be signed by
the proper health authorities.
Certificates issued by magistrates or
notaries public must not be recognized
as proper health certificates, and per-
sons travelling on such certificates must
be required to furnish inspectors with
other satisfactory evidence that they
have not visited infected points within
five days previous to the date of inspec-
ton.
Inspectors will under no circumstances
allow an infected train to pass beyond
the point where the inspection is made.
Local health officers of the parish are
instructed to see that all strangers tray
cling in their territories are provided
with certificates of health, and in the
absence of such certificate shall convey
them to the detention camp at Bossier
City, taking receipt from the officer in
charge of the camp.

line. An effort is to be made to resume train ser"
vice, as no town that we know of on the branch
in the State has quarantined against Shreveport.
Two young men from Memphis, who could not
purchase tickets at that place for Shreveport arrived
here Sunday. AS they had recently been in New
Orleans they not permitted to stop here. They
left the day by private conveyance for Shreve-
port, and it is said that they now at that citys
detention camp. This is indeed hard on the young
men, but every one should know that during time
when there is much fear of an epidemic of yellow
fever is poor time to travel unless the clearance
papers are all o. k.
The barbecue given in the neighbor of Smiths
MILL four miles east of Benton last Friday has been
voted decided success by all who attended from
this place. There was abundance of meat and
other eatables to satisfy the inner man, all of which
was well prepared. The day passed without rain.
Two baseball games were played between the Ben
ton and Midway mines, the first resulting in score
OF to in favor of the Midway boys and the last
5 to in favor of Benton. During the first game
the battery for Benton A. Lee and w. Scan
land, and for Midway ]. Pilkinton and Hofpauir.
The batteries for the last game were A. Lee and r.
Wyche for Benton, league and Wilson for Midway.

SOUTHERN WAR HYMN.


BY JOHN A. WAGNER of Carolina
Arise! arise! with arms of might.
Sons of our sunny home!
Grid on the sword for the sacred fight,
For the battle-hour hath come!
Arise! for the felon foe draws nigh
In battles dread array;
To the front, We brave! let the towards fly,
TITS the hero that bides the fray!
Strike hot and hard my noble band,
With the arm of fight and fire;
Strike fast for God and Fatherand,
For mother, and wife, and SIRE
Though thunders roar and lightnings flash,
Oil Southrons never fear,
We shall turn the bolt with the sabre's clash,
And the shaft with the seely spear.
Bright blooms shall wave DER the heros grave,
While the craveR-fnds rest;
Thrice cursed the traitor, the slave, the knave,
While thrice is the hero blessed.
To the front in the fight, We Southrons stand
Brave spirits, with eagle eye,
And standing for God and for Fatherland
Ye will CALAMITY do or die

Humming Birds.

When I first crawled in among the
bushes close to the nest the little moth
er darted at me and poised foot from
my nose, as if to stare me out of coun-
tenance. She looked me all over from
head to foot twice. Then she seemed
convinced that 1 was harmless.
She whirled and sat on the nest
edge. The bantlings opened wide their
hungry mouths. She spread her tail
Ikea flicker and braced herself against
the nest side. She craned her neck and
drew her dagger-like bill straight up
above the nest. She plunged it down
the baby's throat to the hilt and start
ed series of gestures that seemed
fashioned to puncture him to the toes
Then she stabbed the other baby until
1t made me shudder. 1t looked like the
murder Of the infants. But they were
not mangled and bloody. They were
getting square meal after the usual
humming bird method of reorganization.
They ran out their slender tongues
to lick the honey from their bills. How
they liked it! Then she settled down
and ruffled up her breast feathers to
let her babies cuddle close to her
naked bosom. Occasionally she reach
ed under to caress them with whisper
ings of mother love.-Country Calen-
dar.

TAG FOR LAUNDRY USE.
Dispenses with the Necessity for Mark
ing the Clothes.

Dispenses with the Necessity for Mark
ing the Clothes.
There are circumstances under
which a housewife protests against
what many fastidious ones consider
the marring of their household linens
by indiscriminate indelible ink laun-
dry marking.
AS the laundry is inevitable, COM
promise is made on the detachable
laundry tag, and some laundries use
these exclusively for all napery, bed
linen and towels. All these devices
partake Of the nature of flexible met
allie holder adapted to be bent over
the edge Of the article and carrying a
piece Of marking tape or linen. One
particular form of recent invention is
illustrated herewith, it's chief merits
being it's simplicity and effectiveness.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1905-09-13

1t consists Of plate over which a
piece of tape is folded, the ends Of the
plate being bent upon itself to secure
the ends Of the tape through their en-
tire width. In order to present a per-
fectly fat surface on one side for
which piece of tape is folded, the
ends bent out Of the plane Of the body
Of the tag to bring their surfaces on
the tape side flush with the surfaces Of
the tape. A slot is cut out of the body
piece to establish a bending line. On
one side Of the plate tangs are struck
up from the inner face and at the other
side cups or sockets are also struck up
in such position as to receive and cover
the'points of tangs when the two sides
Of the plate are pressed together over
the edge Of an article. AS the cloth
lies over the sockets the points Of the
tangs must necessarily pass through
the cloth to enter the sockets. If it
is desired to remove the tag this can
be done by pryfng it open, but the con-
struction is such that the tags when re-
moved do not tear the cloth.

How They Know.

Here is bit of wisdom cleaned
from the head waiter. According to
him the trained observer can tell
whether or not man has been used to
servants all his life by the intonation
OF his voice when calling some one to
walt on him. The person who has
seen used to bossing other people
around says, James," or whatever
the name of the servant may be, with
falling infection, while the one who,
until lately, has been accustomed to
waiting on himself, gives James the
rising infection, as if in supplication.
And that" said the waiter, sis
dead sure sign. A man may cover up
most other tell-tale marks, but he can't
get away from that

The town Victoria was settled
twenty-five years ago by colony OF
Englishmen, who named it in honor OF
their queen. They bought large tracts
of land, came over in body, and pre-
served their home customs as long as
they lived there. But they, after two
or three crop failures, abandoned their
farms and disappeared, and the land
is now occupied by Russian Mennon-
ties, who are growing macaroni wheat
on dry farms with great success.
