They Steal a March.

The many Benton friends of Miss Camille
Kelly were surprised last Saturday to learn
that she was united in marriage in Shreve-
port that afternoon to Mr.. S. E. McCor-
quordae. Both of them left this place
that morning, but, so far as we are in
formed no intimation was made of their
intention to be married, which was already
planned, SO said.
The bride is native of our parish and
has been resident of Benton for some
years. She is daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
B. A. Kelly, and is known and we'll liked
throughout the entire parish. She is a
young woman of refinement and accom-
plishments and it is little wonder that our
young friend so soon became victim to
her charms.
Mr.. McCorquordale has not long been in
our town, but just long enough to make a
number of staunch friends and admirers.
His home is in Orange, Texas, but he has
worked at many places in the Union, in
cluning the National Capital. He is an
adstractor and one of the fastest stenog-
raphers we have ever seen operate. His
speed at the keyboard has attracted nc
little attention and has been the subject Of
much comment. He is at present con-
nected with the Caddo Abstract Company
We extend our congratulations and best
wishes, and hope that Good Fortune may
ever look their way.

Death spares no victim! Yet, it is hard

with the people of his community, who
thereby learned to know his worth as a

To US, as brother mason, his death IS
keenly felt and his absence mourned He
was an exemplar of all that is noblest and
best in our order. Faithful to the fraternal
ties that bound him to US by the silken
cord of brotherly love, and always true to
the moral teachings that make it possible
for us to be an order distinguished for its
charity, brotherly love and fidelity. Llv-
ing, he was to us an example; dead, he is
a constant inspiration so to live that when,
like him, we are called hence, we in turn
may leave behind us memory fraught
with the scent of good deeds we'll done
Therefore, be it
Resolved, that we, his brothers, with
hearts full of sorrow, desire to place on
record our appreciation of the character
and worth of our brother who has gone

Hearne's January Sale.

The two display advertisements on our
first page are the Hearne Dry Goods Com
pany's and the large one which also ap-
peared last week advertises their January
Clearance Sale. Mondays mail brought
us copy to take the place of the larger one,
in fact, copy for page ad, telling of their
great price reductions and itemized the
same.
1t is our pleasure at all times to serve
this reliable and wide-awake firm, and we
regret that circumstances prevented our
putting the ad in type. The Banners
mechanical force has been hard worked
this month, and for the two weeks past and
this week the paper has been day late.
We could not get the ad in type for our
friends, but we can suggest to you that
you attend the sale. You'll always find
their prices as advertised and their goods
dependable, and you will be waited on with
that politeness peculiar to the South. Their
store is opposite Court Square.

Tribute Of Respect.

At regular meeting of Cypress Lodge,
No. 80, F. and A., held January IL, 1911,
the following preamble and resolutions
we're unanimously adopted:
To the worshpfu Members of Cypress LODGE
No. SO, F. and A. M:
We, your committee, appointed to draft
resolutions of respect to brother Samuel
Milton Thomas, who died at the residence
of his daughter, Mrs. J. w. Warren, Cam
den, Ark, December 16, 1910, and inferred
in the Cottage Grove Cemetery, Bossier
Parish, La, on December 18th, with Ma
sonic honors, beg leave to report the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, the Great Architect of the
Universe has seen fit in his infinite mercy.
to take from us our late brother, Samuel
Milton Thomas, who departed this life
December Is, 1910; and,
Whereas, his many virtues call for a
fitting recognition of the same, from this
Lodge by some mark of respect; there
fore be it
Resolved by Cypress Lodge No. 80, on
the register of Grand Lodge of Louisiana
of A. F. and A. NJ, that, while we humbly
and devoutly submit to the will of the Most
High, yet we cannot refrain from mourn
| ing for the loss of our venerable brother,
who has been removed from our midst by
the grim reaper, Death, after attaining the
ripe old age of seventy eight years.
Resolved, that through the death of
Capt. Samuel M. Thomas, who had passed
the limit allotted to man, this Lodge is de-
prived of worthy brother and devout
Mason, but, owing to his age and physical
infirmities, he could not take an active part,
yet he was sage among us; society loses
an intellectual member, a boon companion
and FREUD and associate dear to us all !;
the community noble and upright citizen,
the Confederate veterans a staunch and
loyal veteran, and the cause of the church
true friend and we'll wisher.
Resolved, that this Lodge extend its
heartfelt sympathy to his bereaved family
and friends, reminding them that what is
their temporary loss is his eternal gain.
Resolved, that these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of this Lodge; a
copy thereof be transmitted to the relatives
of our deceased brother, and copy be
furnished the Bossier Banner for publica-
ton, and that the Lodge be appropriately
draped in mourning for thirty days.
