Do You Wish A Happy New Year =?

Every one wants it; all strive for it ;
many succeed in having it; many could
have it, and would have it, were it not
for one thing, that miserable, torment
ing stomach. All the joy, all the
pleasure. all the snap of life is gone
when suffering from an unruly. dis
ordered stomach.
Nothing helps me, " you say. We
believe you so far as you have tried.
But a trial of the new remedy
VIRlLIA will work wonders. Cured,
cured" you will cry. "oh so happy. !"
Thousands have already said so. Let's
count you in the list.

been purchased by farmers during
the past year than during any pre-

Of Agriculture Wilson, who bases his

This demonstrates, he added,

upon every means. to increase the
yield per acre, and to preserve the
soil. The department has been urg-

Iimes-Democrat Nov. 20: Il doubt

value of t@ Caddo oil field" said A.
+. Kahn, cashier Of the Commercial
National Bank of Shreveport, to a
Times-Democrat reporter. I'm
doubtedly however, it is the richest
oil field in America. They have
heard of the field abroad and we are
receiving inquiries from European
prospective investors constantly.
Captain Youree is to build half
million dollar hotel in Shreveport,
plans for which have been drawn by
Arthur Mann of Little Rock. The
site chosen is at Travis and Market
streets, in the rear Of the Phoenix.
The latter hotel is to be an annex TO
The new hotel which is to be called
the Hotel Youree. The new hOStelry
is needed in Shreveport, as the Cad
do, the Inn, the Phoenix and all the
rest of available places for transient
custom are. crowded every night.

pect 10 rival New Orleans some

BANS DEATH
An Official Investigation by Coroner
Alexander.

An official inquiry is to be made
this afternoon by Dr. Alexander,
coroner, relative to the death OF ID.
H. Bains, whose lifeless body was
found Saturday morning at the foot
Of the stairway at the door OF the
Ward club on Common street near
Milan.
It has been intimated and there
are quite number OF citizens who
suspect that Bains was victim OF
violence, but as was declared in the
Caucasian's issue OF Sunday. Bains'
death is clearly accidental. This
statement is maintained by Gus
Guynemer, who with Dave Ward
first saw the body at the foot of the
stairs. In glancing through broken
window pane Mr. sGuynemer be-
lieved that Bains was in a stupor,
| but on reaching through the broken
pane he felt the face and the arm
Of the deceased and it was then real
lied that Bains was dead.
On being apprised Of this fact.
Dave Ward >hastened to the police
station where he notified Chief Lu-
ear. On reaching the door Sergeant
Tanner crawled through the pane
without glass and removed the body
so that the door could be opened,
Bains' body was doubled up His hat
and revolver fully loaded lay at his
side. There was blood on the floor
where Bains' head rested. The blood
was from wounds on the scalp. The
head Of The deceased had struck an
lold fashioned iron bolt which held
| the door fast al the floor. The top
of this bolt was broken and on il
were blood and hair.
In explaining how blood was found
on the stairway he stated that after
the door had been opened and that
| in removing the body several OF
those present had stepped in the
pool OF blood, which left some
bloody footprints on the stairway
as they had ascended the steps III
going into the club room.
1t is Mr.. Guynemer's opinion that
Bains had aseended the steps with
THE intent of going 10 sleep in the
,club room, but found it closed, and
in retracing his steps he missed his
footing. This statement of Mr.. Guy
Inemer was obtained in a converse
fion Monday afternoon.

WEATHER AND CROPS
As Result oil the Freeze the Cotton
Plant Has Been Killed and Nothing
More In the Way of Production
Can Be Expected From II.

New Orleans Picayune Nov. 20: As
a result of the freeze the cotton
plant has been killed and nothingI
more i'll the way Of production can
be expected from IL. Whatever of top
crop may have beenyeut off is prob
ably negligible, and the crop as a
whole was SO advanced prior TO the
freeze that the general opinion is
that no real damage was done. High
winds and rain no doubt did some
damage, but il las been the quality
of Tire cotton still unpicked that has
been hurt rather than the quantity.
From now on the weather vii fig-
ure but little as factor i'll the size
of the crop, but ii will still remain
an important factor as facilitating
or retarding the gathering OF the
cotton still remaining in the fields,
and il reports are to be believed
there is still considerable cotton as
yet unpicked. A favorable spell Of
weather for the next month or six
weeks will undoubtedly help the
harvesting of all the cotton that has
not yet been gathered, and to that
extent the yield will be added to.
During the coming week the cen
| sus bureau Of the national govern
ment will make public The total oil
cotton ginned from Nov. to t3 in
elusive The general belief is thai
about iI.500t000 bales will have beer
ginned TO Nov. ii, or somewhat
smaller quantity than might hav1
heen looked for from the eharactei
OF previous reports. The smaller
/ amount ginned for the last period i
/ attributed to the bad weather Of th,
! early part Of the month.
