Mrs. A. J. Murff of Shreveport and
her daughter, Miss Margaret, are here
on visit with Mrs. C. o. Gayle.
Mr.. A. NJ. Wyche left San Antonio,
Texas, Monday for Ell Paso, that State,
where he will spend some four or five
weeks in an effort to build up his broken
health before returning home.
Tomorrow is the date of the "tacky"
party. It will be given at the Court
House-and that's the place to go to
have a good laugh and a good time.
Some one will get a prize for being the
most appropriately dressed.
The Shreveport Times OF yesterday
saws: "Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Lee, now OF
{ Little Rock, Ark, are the parents OF a
little daughter, born on Tuesday, the
18th. Mrs. Lee was Miss Alice Blanch-
ard and the little daughter arrived at the
home of Mrs. Lees parents, Mr.. and
] Mrs. Henry Blanchard" Mr.. Lee was
formerly resident of this place.
DR.. Bowling OF Shreveport, President
OF the State Board of Health, has noti-
fed Mr.. w. J. Dawson of this place,
Secretary for the Bossier Parish Fair
Association, that part of the State Board
OF Health exhibit will be shown at the
] Bossier Parish Fair, to be held in Plain
Dealing October 18th to Goth. He has
asked for a space fifteen feet square.
After spending several years in Texas,
Mr.. J. F. Perkins returned to Bossier
Parish during August. He says the
Texas soil where he was located is as
good as ours, but the community does
not compare with ours socially. He is
now logging at camp near Benton, but
is buying property and will later farm
on it. He is son of Mr.. G. D. Perkins
Of the Rocky Mount community.
Just before noon to-day we learned OF
the death of Mrs. Callie Edwards OF
Haughton, which occurred in Lake
Charles yesterday, resulting from an
attack of pellagra. Mrs. Edwards was
a member of large and popular family
/ Her maiden name was Afford. Her hus-
band preceded her to the grave some
years ago. There were no children as a
result of the union, but many relatives
and long friends in our parish sur
vive her and mourn her loss. The inter-
ment will take place near Haughton to-
morrow afternoon.
Several copies of the Monrovia Mes
senger, published in Monrovia, Cal.
have recently reached this Office. 1t is
Z bright, clean, we'll edited newspaper,
in its twenty-sixth year. Its editor and
proprietor is Mr.. Homer Fort, who re-
moved to the Pacific coast from New
York city several years since. The
paper seems to be getting plenty OF sup
port and must be paying institution
as we'll as a credit to its able editor-pro-
prietor. MIR. Fort is a brother of Mrs
B. A. Kelly and Mrs. G. 0. Gayle O.
this place and B. F. Fort of Lane.
In last weeks issue of the Banner VIZ
said that its editor would perhaps b
able to return home from Shreveport this
week. However, such did not prove tt
be the case. We saw him last Saturda.
Tor the second time since his operation
and he is still looking well, is permittel
to sit up sparingly and his condition i
steadily improving. He had slight feve
yesterday and the day before, but hi
u temperature is now again normal. Th
physicians have not said when he cal
safely leave the sanitarium, but h
