A PROMINENT VISITOR.

Southern Sentinel: Col R. G. Pleas
ant, city attorney Of Shreveport, was in
the city last Monday circulating among
his many old friends and schoolmates,
and incidentally letting them know that
he would like to take charge of the legal
portfolio of the next administration, in
other words he is a candidate for At
torney General
Colonel Pleasant was born and reared
in Union parish. He was a student at
Mt Lebanon College, at which large
number of the boys and girls of Winn
parish attended; from there he went to
the Louisiana State University, and it
was from there he entered the volunteer
troops that enlisted from Louisiana. He
became Lieutenant Colonel of the First
Louisiana regiment. After the disbald-
ment of the regiment, he returned home
and afterwards went to Shreveport and
commenced the practice of law. He
was soon elected city attorney, which
position he now holds We feel salts
| fed that North Louisiana will give him
their hearty support.

earnest fight against the mail order bus
mess for the past few months would re-
verse teir tactics and begin to refer to
shortcomings of the local merchant it
might have a different effect on some OF
them. The newspaper editors have been
so determined not to do anything
against their own town that they lost
sight Of everything except boosting en-
terprises and institutions. The result
| is that a number of merchants have dis
continued their advertisements in local
papers and are now investing money in
cotton futures Or some other form OF
gambling that they have been paying the
printer for honest labor.

IN MEMORIAL.

Died-Miss Sallie E. Nelson, at her
residence on Grand avenue, June 7, 1907.
For months past the failing health OF
Our loved one caused those nearest and
dearest to feel that the sands of life
were ebbing fast for her, and in a short
time her sweet spirit must take its flight
to the God who made her. So when
the sad message ''she has gone" came to
us we were prepared-our tears flowed
and hearts ached that SO true a friend,
so staunch a citizen, had been called
| from us. She was aware of her condi-
ton and expressed willingness to the
Masters call, only regretting leaving
her dear brother Willie, to whom she
was so devotedly attached.
Miss Nelson had spent her life in
! Shreveport for the betterment and up
| lift of our city, and for her memory
CLEANS a shining star-for she was es-
teemed most highly and loved as friend
and teacher by many She received a
| finished education, was scholar, a
musician, and an able teacher, occupying
the chair of mathematics in the Kate P.
| Nelson Seminary during its existence.
She was a sister of the late Kate P
Nelson, Captain Willie Nelson, aunt of
Mrs. Quinded and a close relative of
Nelson Page, the writer.
| With loving hands and sad hearts we
placed her dear body beneath the sod,
covering the mound with beautiful flow
distributes of love and esteem, and
| turning homeward we felt truly she is
at rest. Our deepest sympathy goes
out to Captain Nelson, who has been SO
patient and devoted, leaving nothing un-
done to try to restore to health and for
her comfort and to dear Rilly (Mrs.
| Quindedl on both of whom she had be-
slowed a life of love and devotion.
She was loyal Daughter of the Con-
federacy, and the flag she loved So well
was placed on her casket
For years a devoted member of St.
Marks Episcopal church, and at one
time most active in the work, we feel
her life was not in vain, and hear by
faith as her sweet spirit enters the por-
tails Of heaven the Masters loving
words
REST, rest for the weary,
Peace, peace to thy soul,
Though life may be weary,
Earth is not thy goal
o lay down thy burden,
O come unto me,
| will not forsake thee,
Though all else should flee.

GOOD ROADS.

In their report to the Police Jury the
committee-R I. Douglas, w. T. Craw-
ford and Jules Dreyfuss, with R. Fur
man, chairman presented clearly and
intelligently the question Of good roads,
which as been discussed and reviewed
from personal and public interest by
those concerned in the use of highways
for individual qualification and for the
practical purpose of trade and traffic
As authorized, Mr.. Furman and Mr..
Douglas journeyed to California, where
they inspected closely the highways that
have been and are being constructed by
an improved method and in which crude
oil IS one of the most important of its
component parts These gentlemen in
spected the Macadam highways of Tex
as and of California, and from the album
dance of their sources of observation
and observation, have suggested trial
|of road-naking which has elected the
approval of all progressive citizens, es-
peclally the farmers who haxe expert
enced the disadvantages of roads which
would try to the swapping point the pa
tience of Job and the meekness Of
Moses.
It IS not possible to over-estimate the
value of good roads, and whatever
money may be applied to practical de
monstration in the construction of ont
or two miles of roadway by oil or an,
other practical and substantial process.
will be approved by the people
To Mr.. Furman and Mr.. Douglas i.
due the fullest credit for the informa
ton they have impaired on their obser
yations and information obtained il
their inspection of the good roads dis
tricts of California and Texas.
