II is explained that the bond of ad-
ministrator is usually placed at twice
the amount of the personal property
OF the decedent. AT best the entire
amount of Mr. Gould's personal pTpp.

Forty-Nine Years Ago!

Forty-nine years ago yesterday the
Banner was established in Bellevue by
its present editor and proprietor, then
youth of only seventeen years. Many
have been its reverses and many have
been the trials to overcome by its ever
industrious and struggling champion.
To-day the Banner still fills a field OF
usefulness, in which it is becoming more
strongly intrenched as the years pass.
It's beardless editor, now grown gray in
service, we are pleased to say is still
actively engaged in the work dearest to
his heart-his life work-and is sur
rounded by children and grandchildren,
and willing and loving bands who are
ever ready to help keep afloat this
sturdy old craft, long since grown dear
to the hearts OF scores upon scores here
in Bossier Parish, ever its home.
We propose three cheers for the Ban
ner and our Cap'n. Won't you join us!

At Rest.

On Wednesday of last week the Death
Angel again visited the home of Mr..
Charley E. Matlock and took away his
beloved and loving wife, to whom he had
been married only little more than
three months. On Monday, the 0th, she
was taken seriously and almost suddenly
i'll and struggle between life and death
began. She suffered greatly for days
and, in spite Of all that devoted physi-
clans and loving administering hands
could do, on the tenth day the Lord said,
"It is enough, come up higher
Oh! how sad is death! How sad the
lonely home must be! But God knows
best. He has only taken back his own.
She lived devoted christian life from
her early girlhood and her dying tosti-
mony is witness for her loved ones that
she is now sleeping the blessed sleep Of
the redeemed.
She was loving wife and a devoted
mother, though she had no children of
her own. Her three step-chiidren, two
of whom are old enough to know the
great need of a mother, had learned to
love her for her kind ways and sweet
disposition and it was like tearing their
little hearts out to have to give her up.
While we bow in humble submission
to the will Of God, the writer extends her
deepest sympathy to her dear companion
and other loved ones and prays that God
will give them strength to bear their sad
affection. Though a sister-in-law, we
| failed to meet here on earth Gas the OPP
portunity was not presented me to visit
her during her last illness) | know that
in that blessed beyond, beaming in the
sunlight of Gods eternal love, we shall
meet and "know each other there"
With this promise be comforted. dear
loved ones. She has only gone before
to await our coming and no doubt she
will be among the first to welcome us to
that blessed cline where there will be no
more pain and sickness, no death, but
life everlasting.

Rev. Holiday at the Walker graveyard
