the family.
We point to our new school building

Portable, and improvements are still
being made.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. D. Calhoun of Bel
cher and their little son, Austin, we're
guests of Mrs. Calhoun's parents, Prof.
and Mrs. Jos. E. Johnston, during the
week.
Fishing is better in Clear Lake this
season than for years past, due no doubt
to the overflow, which furnished an
abundance of water during the spawning
season.
How's your crop, young man? Will
your exhibit at the coming Parish Fair
be good enough to entitle you to the
Banners prize?-a handsome 20 caliber
Winchester repeating rifle.
We learn from Prof Ernest j. Barker,
Principal of the Linton School, that the
school opened with an attendance of
fifty pupils, and that the enrolment will
no doubt be eighty or ninety month
later.
Miss Nita Whited, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. F. T. Whited of Alden Bridge,
expects to leave tomorrow morning for
Washington, D. c., where she will re-
enter the National Park Seminary. Her
father will accompany her as far as St.
Louis.
During the past few weeks many re-
ports have reached the Banner Office as
to the number of young quail to be seen.
No doubt they will be as plentiful as last
season. A friend has also told us that
,. on two occasions he has seen fine
bunch of young turkeys, but we haven't
|, said where.
We wish to remind our North Bossier
t friends, and especially those living in
Plain Dealing, that Mr.. w. P. Allen Of
that place is still one of our agents, and
is authorized to receive and receipt for
subscriptions and solicit and collect for
advertising. He has our rates; call and
talk advertising with him.
i Rev. C. E. Reid of Haughton, the
= Baptist minister for this district, was
here Sunday to fill his regular appoint
ment. He was accompanied by Rev. Mr..
Hunter, who preached in his stead. II
T was the purpose of Mr.. Reid to begin q
: protracted meeting on this date, but
8 owing to the fact that the Teachers In
|. stitute was in session here for the week
e and other things to invite public atten-
ton, he postponed the date until thu
7 time of his next appointment here-tht
y third Sunday in October.
