grief is full 70 overlooking, for whom
the entire community entertains the
keenest sympathy.

Mr.. L. G. Smith, one of the leading resi-
idents of this place, announces in this issue
of the Banner as a candidate to succeed
himself as Assessor for Bossier Parish.
Mr.. Smith has not long been in public life,
but just long enough to become well known
throughout the parish and, fortunately for
himself, well thought of by all classes. He
made good record as deputy sheriff and
later after becoming connected with the
Assessors office and then securing it, has
again made creditable and clean record
thus far. He has been uniformly fair and
equitable in making up the assessments of
the parish and administers the affairs of the
office in a strictly business-like manner.
Mr.. Smith is another one of Bossier's self
made men. What he has attained in life
what he is to-day-represents the sur
mounting of many difficulties, and untiring
struggles. This is generally known and
his popularity is in some measure attribit-
able to it. He solicts your support with an
assurance of its appreciation and prom
Use of infusing nothing but method and
good business into the work and affairs OF
the office.

Hogs Must Be Kept off the Levees,

To the Property Holders Of Bossier Levee District
Gentlemen: | wish to call the attention
OF the property holders in the Bossier Levee
District to the report which was recently
made to the Bossier Levee Board by Maj.
F. NJ. Kerr, Chief Engineer of the State
Board of Engineers.
On recent inspection of the levee sys-
tenn Maj. Kerr found that in many cases
people were pasturing hogs on the levees.
This is not only liable to cause great DAM
age but is prohibitive by law, and | feel
confident that nothing more is necessary
than to call the property holders attention
to the fact of such abuse in order to secure
its correction.
Our levee system has been built at a
great expense, and in order to be MAIN
tanned, we are subjected each year to heavy
taxes and all Of this expenditure money will
be of no benefit to us unless our levees are
kept in good condition, so that we may at
all times be prepared for high water.

Dear Mr. Editor: At joint meeting of
our Levee Board and citizens held yester-
day after board business, the question of
drainage for our river lands was introduced
and discussed at length. 1t was decided
that the best method to persue is to get to-
gether mass of citizens for the purpose of
coming to conclusion that suits a major
ity in methods to pursue in order to estab-
lish drainage district. This, you know,
is most important question, and if it is
possible to impress our people of the neces-
sity of such a step and what it's accom-
plishment would mean to the parish in in
creased production we will have no further
trouble in accomplishing great opening
to the insight of our own people to the pos
sibilities of our Bossier river soils.
