looks Of our town.
Plain Dealing claims to be the best fish
ing locality of any section in North Louis
lana. Something like 5000 pounds of fish
are shipped weekly-3,OOO pounds were

money in circulation.
}. H. Harrison, jr., young man of
somewhat inventive turn, has constructed
at Miller's Bluff, on Red River, gasoline
boat that is pronounced beauty. The
boat is large enough to carry twelve or
fifteen persons, and will be used for fishing
parties and to ply in the river and lakes.
Master Tilman Demoss, the ten year old
son OF Mr.. q. w. Demoss, while gathering
persimmons last Saturday afternoon had a
severe fall, falling distance of some
twenty feet, breaking both bones in one of

L. N. Keoun and the little sufferer is now
getting along as well as could be expected.
A double wedding occurred at Bolinger
on the Goth. Miss Mississippi Purcell and
Mr.. E. L. Ramsey and Miss Oma Pur-
cell and Mr.. A. H. Evens were united in

The writer extends congratulations to these
we'll known and popular young couples
and hopes that throughout life heaven
richest blessings may be showered on
them.
A meeting of the Directors of the Bos-
sier Parish Fair Association has been
called to meet to-day to wind up the affairs
of the last fair. That little $500 check that
we have been working for, offered by the
State for the best parish display at the
State Fair, has been received and we are
all somewhat elated thereat. Whenever
Bossier goes after a. thing she usually
gets it.
Suppose Plain Dealing had progress
sive league that would get out and hustle
for the town as much as the Bossier Parish
Fair Directors have done to build up their
fair. Who can conceive the new enter
prises that could be established right here
We have the material right at our doors
to manufacture handles of all kinds, berry
boxes, crates and innumerable other
things, and also one of the best locations
in the South for a canning factory. Who
will lead the movement?

Trying to Recover Cotton Tax.

Some weeks ago Col. J. H. Hamiter, of
Bradley, Ark, made visit to Benton in
an effort to arouse interest in the matter of
recovering cotton taxes illegally collected
by the Federal government during the
Confederate War, mention Of which was
made in these columns at the time.
Represented by ex-United States Sena-
tor Marion Butler, of North Carolina, ex-
United States Senator James K. Jones, Of
Arkansas, and coterie of other lawyers
and laymen equally as well known and
equipped, the State of Georgia will en-
deavor to recover from the Federal gov
eminent the 100000 of cotton tax that
was illegally collected from her citizens
during the war. The State, Of course, has
no direct claim on any part of the money
Her citizens are, however, directly inter-
ested, and the State will simply act as
agent for them. 1t is believed that by thus
presenting a solid front there is indefinitely
more likelihood of recovering the tax than
| if so many claimants acted individually.
! Practically all the other Southern States
will cooperate with Georgia in the move.
ment that will be led by Senator Butler
1t is understood that North and South Car.
DINA, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana
Arkansas, Texas and Virginia will place
the claims of their citizens in the hands O
Senator Butler and his associates.
Col. Hamiter has made trip to Wash
ington to better acquaint himself with thu
situation and would be pleased to cores
pond with those having claims with view
to acting as their agent in the matter. Tb'
Colonel himself has a claim amounting t
nearly S15, 900 and, very naturally, feels
keen interest in the matter In fact, now
if ever, is the time to recover this tax, an
we would advise that all claimants at one
take the matter up with him.

Grave of a Bossier Confederate.

We have received the following letter
from Mr. William H. McClendon, of Amite,
under date of the 25th, and take pleasure
in giving it space in our columns, hoping
that it may be the means of helping some
one still resident of our parish in locat-
ing the last resting place Of a relative:
Editor Bosser Banner, Benton, La.
Dear SIR: At the Camp Moore Gene
terry, near Tangipahoa, this parish, there
is pine head board which marks Con-
federate grave, which board being of heart
pine and having been painted white and
lettered in black has withstood forty -six
years of exposure and is now practically
intact. The paint over the lettering on the
board has acted as protection to the wood
under the letters, SO that the letters have
now the appearance of and are really
raised, the wood not otherwise protected
by the paint having worn away, so that
after an hour of patient scrutiny, with the
assistance of d boy with good eyesight
was enabled to read every letter on the
board.
AS it marks the grave of one of the
Bossier boys l enclose copy of the in
scription in the hope that it may reach the
eye of some living friend or comrade OF
relative.
On yesterday a beautiful monument te
the Confederate dead buried at Camp Moore
was unveiled, with appropriate ceremonies
The graves so far as practicable are now
all marked with marble headstones, paic
for by the State. Respectfully,
w. II. MCCLENDoN.
The lettering on the headboard, referred
to by Mr.. McClendon, is as follows:
