Outside duties, an unusual amount of
Office work and our frolic of Tuesday
have thrown the Banner late. All this,
coupled with the crowded condition OF
our columns, forces us to leave out the
reports of two of our correspondents,
which we regret.
The Banners old friend Col. ]. S.
Swami celebrated his eightieth birthday
anniversary to-day by giving a dining

country home-Swannhaven. The only
guest present from Benton, SO far as we
know, was Mr.. Joannes Smith.
Our old friend Mr.. w. M. Wilson, who
lives way over on Bodcau, while here
Tuesday came in to see US and ordered
the Banner mailed to his nephew, Mr..
C. N. Elliott of Birmingham, Ala, for
which he put up dollar as an evidence
of good faith. Some of our friends seem
to be determined that the Banner shall
circulate everywhere. Thank you, sir.
