1t is reported that Mr.. H. D. Kelly and family
who removed from this place to Texas about two
months ago, will return in September. He and his
estimable family will be warmly welcomed back
The Methodists have had fine meeting going on
here for about ten days and it will perhaps con-
tinue the remaining part of the week. The pastor,
Rev. Holiday, is ardent worker for the Lord S
cause.
Miss Grace Stroud requests the children who will
take part in the Presbyterian Children's Day ex-

Rev. Holiday, our Methodist minister, has as
guests his sisters, who from Fort Jessup. Some
weeks ago they had the misfortune to lose their
home by fire, which was caused by lightning strik-
ing the Fort Jessud Masonic Institute, near which
their residence was situated.
Mr.. H. H. Montgomery is organizing an electric
light and waterworks company to supply Plain
Dealing with light and water. If there is any one
thing that would tend to help Plain Dealing more
than another it is good water. The present in
surance rate is prohibitive and putting in of water
would greatly reduce the fire risk. The proposition
is for deep well, and by all means let us have it.
PARISH FAIR NOTES.
AT the last meeting of the Bossier Parish Fair
Association the Secretary was instructed to have
the grounds cleaned off and stumps grubbed pre-
paratory to grading half mile track. The work
has so far progressed to show that we will have
one of the prettiest fair grounds when completed
perhaps to be found in the State.
The management contemplates the use of inn
mense tents far as practicable this season in
order to cut down expenses The grounds comprise
tWCAey- acres, WHICH VIII De 0nClOScQ at once
with substantial fence.
Every convenience will be accorded to parties
who prefer to come and camp on the grounds dur
ing the three days of the Fair, and it is expected
that all who can will do So
The State Crop Pest Commission have signifed
their willingness to make an exhibit and every
facility will be accorded them to do So
The Secretary has already received from party
who lives near Linton notification of his intention
to compete for the Avery & Son Cultivator pre-
MUM, and the indications now are that it will be
holly contested for.
Any one can get up creditable exhibit for
fair when the conditions are favorable but it takes
good farmer to do SO when the conditions are as
unfavorable as they have been this season.
