the services made their obeisance to
Cardinal Gibbons. who usually recog-

hat. or course, all hats were raised
at every mention of the name of
Christ.
The bishops were seated to the
south OF the altar. and the cardinal was
given seat raised above tho others

Sermon by Bishop Kelley.
Bishop Kelley delivered the address,
which was short. He was evidently
much affected at the death of his
friend, Bishop Van dc Vyver, and
found it difficult to speak of those
qualities which he admired so much,
and which made the dead priest the
much beloved of his people. He

of Bishop Van de Vyver, which brought
him SO close to those who knew him.
In conclusion, he spoke of the memo

people OF the Diocese of Richmond.
Ihen came the most solemn part of
the services. The four senior bishops
repaired to the sacristy. where they
oonned black robes and returned car

Father Donahoe. acting as cross
bearer, they walked down to the aisle
and surrounded the body. one at each
corner. The crucifx was borne to tho

Believe. Him Not Accountable.

1t was with this exclamation that
Mrs Edgar Linnell, mother of Avis
Linnel. received the news that tho
Rev. Clarence V. T. Richeson had BEEN
arrested for the alleged murder of her
daughter. Mrs. Linnell later, however,
voiced the belief that Mr.. Richeson vas
not accountable.
He must have been out of his mind
she said, and then told OF certain pecu-
iiarities of Mr.. Richeson, which .she
noticed while he was a caller at her
home.
Loved Him as Son.
MT Richeson. within loved as son
even before he became formally ensay
ed to Avis. worried us often by al
tacks which he had at our house" sh
said. Although they did not appear
TO be serious, they left him in u high
~ nervous state, and he was often
forced to leave the table because Of
rhem. He worried about this trouble
and once broke the engagement with
AVIS. giving his physical condition as
the reason. Their engagement was re-
newed, however, and Avis. 1 firmly he
lieve. was engaged to him when sha
died"
Between Mrs. Linnell and her daugh
ter Mrs. Vida Mclean. the story OF
the acquaintance of Avis Linnell and
the young pastor was told. Avis was
singer in the Baptist church choir
when Mr.. Richeson assumed the ms
torare there four years ago. She was
only fifteen years old, but the new
minister showed marked attention TO
her. and within Il few months was call
Ing at the Linnell home.
AT hrst i objected, said Mrs LIN
nell, but only because 1 thought Avis
was too young. l liked Mr.. Richeson
ana thought him an admirable man.
ana nnaily consented when Avis told
me that he loved her and that they
were engaged. The wedding was sat
Tor last October but Richeson's nttaclss
troubled him until he broke the engage

A Little Back Talk.

The following communication, mailed
in Cotton Valley Tuesday, reached this
Office that afternoon:
To the Voters Of Ward Five:
l will try to correct the mistake in the
Banner of the 7th inst.
/ have been in the ward ever since
1897; built me little home during 81
and '98 and my place Of residence has
been in the ward ever since.
do not seek the Office because think
l am the best man. 1t is because think
the appropriation has not been properly
divided. If | am elected you will find
me ready to divide the money that is
given to ward i've over the ward-not on
my road, but my neighbours.
To cote for the right man Is euer my
motto. Yours truly,
J. B. BOOKER.
Referring to the issue of the Banner
of the 7th we find nothing contained
therein that makes the slightest refer
ence to Mr.. Booker, except his formal
announcement and the usual compli-
mentary paragraph that accompanies
same, which was run under the head
"Mr. Booker Announces" and was as
follows:
can aspirant to become a member of
the Police Jury who has just authorized
US to announce him formally for the
Office is Mr.. J. B. Booker of the Emma
community, who seeks to represent the
residents of ward five. Mr.. Booker is
not a man Of means; he is poor man.
He is not a political leader, having nc
aspirations in that direction. He is not
a free mixer on all occasions, being q
home man, an industrious farmer, 9
helper as best he can in all church
school and other worthy public causes;
a man of family who seeks assiduously
to provide for them, who believes, a
near as possible, in living on the prod
Iucts of home 365 days in the year; ;
good Democrat and quiet, unassuminl
citizen Of thrift. Mr.. Booker promises
lit elected to the Office, to look after tn
general interests Of the ward, and at al
, times to consistently represent his con
stituency to the very best Of his ability
We leave his claims in your hands. J"
Mr.. Booker apparently finds som
fault with the foregoing. We can't sc
! lit. We have not denied that he hs
lbeen in the ward ever since 1891, and v

Messrs. W. w. Oglesby and N. l..

ing that that school will be opened on

Mr.. G. E. Ewing, employed by the

ported that their crops are good and that

gave promise of a sufficiency for hogs
and all wild denizens of the woods, and

Mr.. T. M. Goodwin, a highly respected

daughter-Mrs. w. Henry Smith, Of
Alden Bridge.

have not said he has not built for him
self and family home. We do not
make the statement that he is the best
man seeking the Office, so there was no
occasion for him to deny it. We make
no reference to appropriations being
either properly or improperly appor-
toned.
In fact, we can't see what Mr.. Booker
is driving at. What we wrote about his
candidacy was intended as compliment
tary and in good faith. We are willing
to submit the paragraph to any fair
minded man anywhere and allow him to
pick it to pieces and then challenge him
to find in it anything that would pass as
Objectionable, or detrimental to Mr..
Booker's candidacy.
However, we regret that Mr.. Booker
is dissatisfied (if he is) and if after
reviewing the paragraph he can find
further mistakes = or objection to what
we are now writing, our columns are
open to him to make corrections.

In Memoriam.

Thomas Mansfield Goodwin was born
in Alabama in 1843 and died near Mid
way Saturday evening, September "a,
1911, the interment taking place in old
Salem Cemetery the following day.
Some one has said that Death, like the
word Chimera, has two meanings: One
signifying dreams, the other monster.
Hope constrains us to the former mean
ing, for certain we are that in deaths
presence no intelligence has right to
prophesy.
Mr.. Goodwin spent ffty-two years OF
his life in Bossier Parish. Always the
honest, uprigh citizen and the loyal
friend of justice, he gained a host OF
friends who extend to his relatives their
sincerest sympathy.
Around his one child, left motherless
in her childhood, twined the sweet inter-
lacings of fathers love and care
Watchful, protective, generous, he wat
to her the noblest of men.
No church creed claimed his devotion
but Christian principles were his, ane
the sublime teachings of Freemasonry
pointed him to a grander and higher life
to come.
1t is useless to attempt to gild grie
with words. He is dead. But, sustained
by the faith and hope of human nature
we feed that his dying eyes caught thu
CLEAN on the golden hilltops where life
horizon awaits the dawn, and that some
time, somewhere, in Gods own appoint
cd way, we shall meet again. WA.

Bossier Point.

Ninock, Sept. 25.-Farmers are all
crying for cotton pickers and kicking
about the price of cotton and seed.
('Twas ever thus.) We must have
something to complain about. Our gins
are running on full time trying to ac-
commodate the public. The pea crop is
good, potato crop better and cane the
best for several years. Corn was DAM
aged by the drouth but there will be a
suficiency for home use.
Carroll Aldman left Saturday for Min
den to enter school.
Mr.. T. M. Gatlin was on the sick list
the past week, but is now up and doing.
Mr.. John Crowson went to Shreveport
the week end looking for cotton pickers.
He says his crop is record breaker.
Prof. John Hudnall of Ringgold has
contracted to teach the Peas School, in
the Point, which opens about October
1st.
Mr.. G.. Garrett is spending the week
in Alexandria attending the annual
meeting of the Farmers Demonstration

Messrs. P. Krumbholtz and James

Mr.. j. c. Logan Again a Candidate

A popular resident of this ward-Mr.
J. c. Logan of the VAUDEVILLE commu-
nity-is candidate to succeed himself
as a member of the Police Jury, and his
formal announcement can be found in
its proper place in this issue of the Ban
ner. Mr.. Logan has now been mem
Der of the Police Jury for eight years
and is too we'll known to need an intro
duction at our hands. He was for sew
eral years the President Of that body and
has always been one of the most active
and reliable members composing it.
AS q citizen Mr.. Logan enjoys an en-
viable reputation. We know him as
quiet, unassunling, busy man, with a
determination to succeed, and success
has apparently followed him with clock
like regularity. He is native of this
State and has been resident OF our
parish for twenty-five years-long
enough to know our ways and our needs,
and long enough to win his way into the
hearts of many staunch citizens who
are to-day glad to count themselves his
friends.
He has been lifelong Democrat, is
a progressive and conservative man, and
hence we'll qualified to fill the place.
He seeks the office not with personal
gain in view, but almost wholly, we are
convinced, because he has been so often
solicited by his friends to again make
the race, and because he has an honest
desire to represent them and serve his
parish. We bespeak for him the con-
sideration of his candidacy.
