Taxes will soon be due again.
We thank Mrs. W. j. Dawson for some
delicious pears.

The Baptist protracted meeting has been

Miss Daphne McCool, of Shreveport, is

Mrs. J. E. Burt, of Belcher, is spending

Mrs. R. E. Wyche. Of course, she has
that fine looking baby boy with her.
Mrs. A. G. Wrenn, of Shreveport, is here
on visit to her father, Rev. J. M. Brown,
and the other members of his family. She
is accompanied by one of her sons, Master
Goodwin.
The baseball fans have asked us to an
nounce that there will be a game here this
afternoon between the home boys and one
Of shreveport's City League teams that
promises to be good and fast.
Yes, it is pretty hot, but let us at least
be thankful for the pleasures that are still
not denied us. You can partly avoid the
heat by going where you please to rest and
recreate and this you couldn't do two years
ago on account of the quarantine.
During the summer the writer has driven
over number of the public roads of our
parish and it is a pleasure to note that they
are growing better from year to year. This
fact should be a source of pride to our
home people and inviting to both home
seekers and capitalists. Let us resolve to
keep striving in this direction until finally
We have roads of the very best possible
here and constructed of material that
won't wear fast. Good roads can be had
anywhere and nothing else is better in
vestment for an agricultural community
or surer evidence of thrift and pros
perity. And we'n have the best some day.
These are the so called dog days and
those who have dogs of value or to which
they feel much attached should be doubly
watchful of them until the days grow
little shorter and cooler. Feed them but
little in the morning and at noon; let their
largest meal be given them after night.
Provide them a comfortable and cool
place in which to lie around during the
day as we'll as at night, and it would be
best to have this enclosed. Dash water
into and under the kennel and the dogs
will soon learn to scratch holes in the
moist spot which offers cool and restful
bed. It is said that of the great number
OF dogs that are killed each year that are
believed to be rabid less than five per cent
Of them are thus diseased. But the fact
remains that the dog has some disease of
the mouth that causes him to run around,
snap at everything he sees, otherwise act
queer, slobber at the mouth and-get
Killed. If you have dogs that you value,
lake.our advice and keep them within an
enclosure for tha tima hoinr

We regret to state that up to this time only $3.50
has been subscribed toward the Bellevue Cemetery
fund. We do not believe, however, that this is
account OF indifference or lack of reverence for
the spot where loved ones lie sleeping. 1t simply
illustrates how well scattered are the former resi-
dents OF Bellevue and that community. No doubt
this sum will be more than doubled within week
or two. The present list is as follows:
