The Superintendent read his report
for the quarter ending December 31st,
which is as follows:
To the Honorable School Board Of Bos-
sier Parish, La:
OF the eighty -one schools let out by
your honorable body at the July term OF
1904, ffty-hve are in operation. OF
these seventeen are taught by third
grade teachers, nineteen by second
grade teachers and nineteen by first
grade teachers. These schools were
opened at various times during the year
and are by no means in the same degree
OF advancement as regards the work OF
the school term.
l have found it impracticable to com
mence my regular tour Of the schools fol-
the reason that SO few have as yet been
opened. The law requires at least one
visit to each school, and l thought il
prudent to wait until majority of them
were opened and under fair headway
before commencing my regular visits.
| have, however, visited the schools a,
Midway, Benton, Antrim, Alden Bridge
and Plain Dealing and found them,

bill-book? See his ad. elsewhere.
The Banner ventures the assertion
that we have had some rain!
When you go to Shreveport the first
thing in order is shave. A good place
to get it is at Strube's. He's now in
new quarters in the First National Bank
building, Milan street entrance.
An important meeting of Cypress
Lodge No. 80, F. and A. M, will be held
at the court house in this place next
Thursday afternoon at 2 O'Clock. All
members are urged to be present as
full attendance is most desirable.
On last Friday deal was closed by
which Mr.. J. M. Montgomery transferred
to Mr.. S. T. Taylor his livery stable in
terests in this place. Mr.. Taylor will
consolidate the two stables here and win
occupy Mr.. Montgomery's old stand.
Munich Robinson, an obstreperous and
unruly negro, was killed in Benton
Monday afternoon by Mr.. J. M. Mont
gomery. The act was in self protection.
The negro owed Mr.. Montgomery and
when urged for settlement he became
angry and drew pistol, which prompted
the shooting.
In view of the recent incendiary fires
at this place and Gold Point, large
number of the most influential citizens
of the community met at Benton yester-
day and organized Law and Order
League for the purpose of assisting the
officers of the law in suppressing incend-
iarism, and protecting the lives and
property of our citizens.
Hugh Lyles, colored, an employe at
Barnett's road camp, now located mile
north of Benton, was attacked by a mule
Monday morning and had his right knee
dislocated. He was brought here for
treatment, and DR.. w. D. Lassiter soon
had the injured limb in place. 1t seems
that he entered the corral to bride the
mule when, without warning, the brute
turned and attacked him. After knock
ing the negro down the mule began
paving and kicking at him, and if help
had not arrived no doubt he would have
> been killed.
E0~ After being solicited to do SO,
Assessor j. M. Mading has agreed to
represent the Banner when making his
tour of the parish, which he expects to
begin at an early date. Mr.. Madine
will not be an actual agent as the term
goes, for he will not solicit, but will re-
ceive and receipt for subscriptions paid
through him. He has with him a printed
duplicate of our subscription list and
knows just how each subscriber stands
We hope this arrangement will be OF

prietor) and expect to see many delin-
quents 'tget right" with the Banner.

TWO DISASTROUS FIRES.
Half the Bushes Portion Of Benton In
Ashes--GoId Point Store Burned.

Half the Bushes Portion Of Benton in
Ashes--Gold Point Store Burned.
On Tuesday morning about 4 o'clock
Mr.. J. M. Montgomery's store was dis
covered to be on fire. An alarm was
quickly given and every one responded.
By faithful work the flames were con-
fined to one side of the street and the
Benton Hotel and the old Star Hotel
building (also on the same side of the
street) were saved. Everything else
was consumed, and in but a short while,
as all the buildings were frames. The
flames would no doubt have crossed the
street and burned the remaining portion
of the town if it had not been that the
Benton Mercantile Company's brick
building served as kind of fire wall.
The old drug store and the buildings
below it were saved by the use OF wet
blankets.
The fire is supposed to have been of
incendiary origin.
The losses are as follows:
J. NJ. Montgomery Store house and
stock of merchandise, valued at Sc, 600,
nothing saved; insurance, $4,000.
]. A. Silliman-Stock of groceries,
most Of which was saved; loss about
500.
DR.. C. H. Irion-Stock of drugs, most
of which was saved; loss about $500.
Cypress Lodge No. SO, F. and A. M
Two-story building, valued at $500.
Oak Leaf Camp No. 231, w. o. W.
Two-story building, valned at $500.
Capt. S. M. Thomas had just moved
out of the Sprott building, but still had
about 500 worth of furniture in his
| room, which was total loss.
I'D. Sprott-Building, valued at $50
On Tuesday night the store and stock
of merchandise at Gold Point plantation
was destroyed by fire, the whole being
total loss. The building was LEASED
and the business being run by Mr.. E. D
Taylor for his brother, Mr.. P. G. Taylor
who lives here. This fire is also claimed
to have been of incendiary origin, a!
the safe keys were found in the open
safe door after the fire had died away
Mr.. Taylor is sure that he locked the
safe before retiring and put the keys in
his pocket. The natural conclusion is
that the store was plundered and Later
fired to cover the first crime.
Mr.. Taylor sleeps in the store and il
is said that he barely had time to dress
and make his escape from the burning
building after being walked.
The value of the stock of goods was
about 81 600, and of the building about
