offered by the State Fair. There will be
better premium offered this time than
before. Would you like to have it? If
so, come along and let's go after it.
I noticed in the Shreveport Times,
and also in the Banner, that Messrs.
S. H. Bolinger and Louis G. Buckley led
an automobile tour through Rossier last
week. Well, that's fine! Just think!
Ten years ago it was almost dangerous
to travel the Bossier roads in an OK cart,
and, as matter of fact, it was expen-
siye, and now automobiles can be safely
and successfully run over them, making
twenty-five to thirty miles per hour.
Well, boys, that's coming some. Now,
if should have met that crowd OF autos
while riding old Beck, guess | would
have been going some, too. She would
have damned me round the first saplin'
she came to and snapped all the buttons
off my overalls against the next one.
tell you, fellows, them things stirred the
dust, and they can jest naturally outrun
anything in these parts.
Come again, autos, we are glad to
have you. u. i. MAYS.

CartervilIe.

Well, things having turned round for
better opportunities we all feel some
what revived.
The election held on Saturday, the
18th, "for or against five-mill special
tax in School District No. Is" resulted
as follows: Thirty-three votes, repre-
senting S19, 900 worth of property, were
voted for the tax, and twenty-seven
votes, representing $4,000 worth of
property, were voted against it. Am
glad to say at last the people Of ward
four, in said district, have acted wisely.
Give us more schools, bigger schools
and better schools and we will give you
better community in every way-a
better country-a better citizen. In the
name of the community, l wish to again
thank Prof. E. T. Harris and Prof.
w. A. Fortson for their valued visit and
able discussion on this question. Allow
me to say that this great State has one
man in Office that, according to my
Judgment, is filling we'll his place. The
good, even, fair and just work Of Prof.
Harris will be seen and felt by the needy
citizens of old Louisiana for years yet
to come.
We are now looking and listening for
the honorable School Board to step out
and say where we may build the house.
After this is done there will be nothing
left for the patrons to do but to get busy
and erect nice building to care for this
first-class graded school.
Mr. J. T. Many, foreman OF the North
Bossier road gang, has just finished
working in ward four, leaving our roads
in good shape for the farmers to do their
fall hauling. All we lack now is the
produce to haul.
Well, boys, it's time you were getting
ready for the Bossier Fair. Curry your
colts, look after your calves, feed the
pigs and make their hair shine. If you
don't the blue ribbons will go to the
other fellows. Am proud to note the
interest taken by B. F. Avery &: Sons.
They are the right kind of people to
make things go. They will be on hand
at the fair to make demonstration OF
the work of their agricultural imple-
ments, and will give pillow as pre-
MUM for the best sixty ears Of corn ex-
hibited.
Yes, am going to try to be there with
sixty ears of the right color, the RICH,
kind and the right quality. I'll be aftel
that pillow, for it's the right kind.
While we farmers have been so very
busy all the year growing our crops ane
attending to our live stock, now the time
is drawing near for us to come up ant
show the results of our labors and good
! Judgment. 1t will be an enjoyable out
