MUNICIPAL PRIMARY.

There will be held tomorrow a pri
mary election for the nomination of a
candidate for counci1man-at-large and
for councilman from Ward Nine to
fill vacancies. The primary will be con-
Quoted under Democratic authority.
AS a nomination is equivalent to an
election, it follows that the friends Of
the respective candidates will strive in
their efforts for success
The candidates for councilmar-at-
large are John Carson and H. B. SEQ
field, and for the Ninth Ward Charles
Deal and Thomas Hodge. Excepting
in Ward Nine where there has been and
there is a strong rivalry, little interest
has been manifested in the primary. 1t
is all important that the qualified voters
shall be alive and active in the discharge
of their duty.
= It is true that in this primary there
is cropping of animus or more or less
silent feeling of antagonism connected
with the issue of prohibition, which has
been settled in the law which is being
enforced.
AS neither of the candidates were pro-
hibitionists, there can be little sense in
such efforts or attempts at arousing re-
sentiment, and this trick of the politician
should have little effect, if any, on men
of fair intelligence and understanding.
What is needed in the Council are
men who will rise from the plane of
pickering and personal or individual ad-
vantages in matters of no import to the
people What is wanted are men who
have greater interests in the general
welfare than in any success they may
achieve over any opponent in the Coun-
ell, and therefore the voter in deterrnin-
ing his choice should be swayed by the
fitness of the best man who can con-
tribute the greatest good for the city's
welfare.

NEWS AND NOTES
Interesting News Items Gathered by
Caucasian Representative.

The branch of the story-tellers league
presided over by Mrs. Billingsley and
Mrs. Beattie met at the West End read
ing room last week and were delight
fully entertained by Miss Scoheld, in
structor OF drawing in the city public
schools, and Miss Schuster, principal of
the central school kindergarten. The
children, ready always for story, lis
I tened with mute attention as Miss SEQ
field told them of the death Of Bladder
the Good the god Of sunlight, spring
and gladness. This popular old Morse
story gains fresh interest every time it
is told Children never fail to condemn
the Wickedness Of the evil hearted Laki,
who, when he found that neither stones
nor sticks nor anything else, save the
mistletoe, could harm Ba1der, and jeal-
Gus that the gods so loved him, gathered
a sprig Of nist1etoe with which he made
the blind god Holder slay the beloved
Ba1der.
Quite different and Accordingly inter
esting was "The Lady Petunia's Story
told by Miss Schuster. "Once upon
time" she said, when all the world was
new, all flowers were white and none
wore the. beautiful colored dresses that
you see these days. The queen of the
flowers was an exqisite white rose. She
grew in the center Of the garden, and
grouped around her were flowers of
every kind-pinks, nasturtiums, peoples,
plox, daisies, daffodils-and, oh, every
kir1d-but all like the queen were
dressed in pure white.
In telling how the flowers got their
colors the pretty little science lesson IS
brought out about the ripening of the
seeds and how the gold dust. of the flow
ers had to be carried from blossom to
blossom. A gentle breeze passing by
whispered to the queen rose that bees
carry pollen dust, but they will not come
to the white flowers They love the red
and blue and violet co1ored cups-then
the secret was told that the sunbeam
fairies could bring every color of the
rainbow, which they did, and we have
the blue violet, the yellow dafodil,
crimson peoples, purple lilacs and all
the beautiful shades and tints that are
seen in the sweet peas, and SO the sun
beam fairies gave the flowers their col
Eors. This charming little story belongs
to Madge Bigham series Little Folk

schuster could not have made more

PERSONAL MENTION.

Mrs. Guido Marburg who has b@n
visiting Mr. Marburg's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. H. E. Marburg, left Friday to join
her husband in Washington, D. c. Mrs.
Marburg came to Shreveport month
ago, especially to attend the beautiful
Golden Wedding celebration of the be-
loved parents and during her visit was
the special guest at a number of de-
1ightful social affairs. She is charm
ing woman, gifted in mind and person,
and fitted to grace any function. Her
departure was rather hurried, as Mr..
Marburg had been called to Washing
ton from his home III St. Louis to as
sumo the business management of Mr..
Charles Richmond's dramatic company,
and would probably go from there to
New York. It is of no little interest to
Mr.. Marburg's many friends and adj
nirers in Shreveport to know that his
translation and adaptation of several
Spanish plays fer the stage has been a
@zeat success and that in the line of
Shsness manager for theatrical COM
panies his ability is highly recognized.
Coming back to us over years of pleas
ant aequaintanceship is the recollection
of the bright, ambitious boy Guido, ever
ready TO serve friends and the public
with his remarkable Evolutionary talent.
None of these old friends have forgot
ten him and all will rejoice that his life
is happy and successful.

DEATH OF MRS. B. WITHER-

At Buena Vista, DeSoto parish, the
homestead of the Witherspoon family,
the devoted mother, Mrs. B. Wither-
spoon departed this life, Wednesday
May 26, aged So years. This announce
ment carries sorrow to many hearts
Throughout this section, where members
of the Witherspoon family are known
and loved, and to these, VIII by friend
ship were privileged to come within the
charmed circle, of her home, where hap
piaess radiated from the influence Of
the beloved mother, there comes the re-
collection of what her life was, and what
it meant to others best expressed, per-
haps, in these few words-"the gentle
woman, the Christian mother. y She
lived this life, which meant kindness,
consideration and courtesy to others.
Never will the picture of her gracious
presence fade from memory nor the
refinement, simplicity and beauty of life,
expressed in her home, be forgotten by
those who have partaken of her hos
pitality. The honored head Of the
family, the late Captain Witherspoon,
was man whose line of life ran
straight and true in every matter, the
good friend and neighbor, the Christian
gentleman.

And hear across the meadow lands the

Over there 7 knew a path with apple
blossoms covered,
Whose scent stills all the longing, all
the unrest of the soul;
And little stream flows by there,
through the sun and fickery
shadows,
Whose naurnnur for season brings
oblivion to the soul,
My heart has heard the calling through
the gray, care ridden city
Mine eyes have seen the falling of the
blossoms through my dream;
I must fling behind me memories of
cramped ambitions,
And seek me out an orchard path be-
