CHAS. PECOT,
City Marshal.
Mr.. Frank Valenti, for a long
time resident of our town, died
suddenly at his home on Saturday
evening last. His funeral took
place from the Catholic Church on
Sunday evening at o'clock. He
was a member of the U. A. o. D.,
and was followed to his last rest
ing place by the members of that
organization. The BANNER ex-
tends it's sympathy to the grief
stricken wife and children of the
deceased.
The crop prospects continue to
be extremely favorable, and our
planters are enjoying the rather
usual peace of mind which good
cane crop confers. Some few
complaints have been registered
during the past week to the effect
that the weather has been too dry,
and a good rain at this time would
undoubtedly be welcome and
beneficial. At the same time the
crop is not suffering for lack of
moisture and the ground is in
such splendid condition that it
can stand drought exceptionally
