Haukht0n Happenings.

DR.. Killen NJ. Hodges of Sweetwater,
Texas, is visitor in our town.
Prospects for a good rice crop on the
Sligo plantation are most flattering.
Mr.. J. A. Edwards of Benton spent
Sunday here with his mother and sisters.
Mrs. Lou Sibley of Shreveport is
spending several days here with rela-
tives.
Mrs. J. B. Hall, jr., of Ivan, is visiting
her parents, DR.. and Mrs. Paul Law
renee.
Mrs. w. M. Burch and children have
gone to Ruston to spend several weeks
with relatives.
Mrs. Aline Hall Bland and little
daughter Of WINFIELD are the guests of
Mrs. BANDS parents.
Miss Nettje Smith has returned home
from Sweetwater, Texas, where she has
been visiting for a month.
We had nice rain Sunday evening,
which will prove beneficial to gardens
and settle, for a while, the miserable
dust.
Miss Ethel Elston and little brother,
Robert, left to-day for Hattiesburg,
Miss, where they will spend two weeks
with friends.
Miss Alicia McCarter, who has been
pleasant visitor in our town for several
weeks, left last Thursday for her home
in Lufkin, Texas.
The McDades, Moores and Fulliloves,
with their family connections, compose
about 80 per cent of the population of
Bossier south of Lake Bodcau.
Mrs. Rosa E. Allen and children left
last Wednesday for Hynson Springs,
Texas, where they will spend several
weeks for the benefit of their health.
Miss Julia and Master Joe Elston spent
last week with the family of their uncle,
Mr.. H. P. Moore, on the river, where
they enjoyed house party, composed
entirely of kinsfolks.
Messrs. f. H. Woodfn and J. w.
Cavanah Of New Orleans, large stock
holders in the Gulf Coast Oil Company,
are here watching developments Of their
well, and will remain two or three weeks.
Operations at the Oakland oil well are
still making slow progress, but there is
no weakening OF faith by the promoters
in the ultimate outcome. The apparent
slowness is on account of extra precau-
ton on the part of the driller to avoid a
disastrous blow out.
Miss Lula Hickman White, one Of our
most popular and beloved women, died
suddenly Saturday morning at two
o'clock, from heart failure. The remains
were inferred in the family burial lot in
Fillmore Cemetery Sunday morning. A
large concourse OF sorrowing relatives
and friends were present at the funeral
which was conducted in most solemn
manner by Rev. w. F. Henderson, the
former pastor of the Methodist Church
here.

The Polar Victories.
From the New York Times.

Commander Peary discovered the north
pole April 6. in the present year. His
distinguished fellow discoverer, DIR. Fred
erick A. Cook, announces that his dis
covery was made nearly year previous
ly. 1t is a startling coincidence that the
two discoveries should be announced to
the world at so nearly the same time 1t
is also astonishing that two explorers,
with separate expeditions, should have
lived to tell the tale, after SO many others
have lost their lives in attempting to
reach 1t. But the one thing certain is
that the north pole has been discovered
hv an American exnlnrer

thing toward civilizing them. They call
themselves Inuit,' which means men, and
they ought to be made worthy of the
name by teaching them cleanliness. There
are only $50 Eskimos and they should be
taken care of by the people OF this coun-
try. ship should be sent up there with
workmen and machinery and houses OF
concrete built for them. Houses built Of
wood will not do, as the Eskimos are i'm
provident and would use the wood for
fires If the houses are made of concrete
the Eskimos would always have shelter.
Those poor. unsophisticated men OF ma
ture should be rewarded for their share
of the work of discovering the north
pole
Anthony Fiala, who commanded the
Aiegler arctic expedition: 1T seems that
Peary has got there. too. We certainly
ought to be sure of the pole. now that
two Americans have reached 1t. We
have it by right of discovery, and /
might also say. by the right of colonial
ton. There Is practically no difference
in the methods of Cook and Peary. Both
Of them depended upon dogs and Eski-
mos. They were not believers in new
tangled schemes, like balloons or vehi-
cles on wheels or trained bears, or any
thing of that sort. They both depended
upon savages. but very intelligent ones,
and they knew how to use them INTEL
ligently. Peary must have started north
