A quack at q fair near Paris was
driving roaring trade selling nos
trums, drawing teeth and beguiling
the crowd In the usual ways, says the
British Medical Journal. The letter
of the French law against unqualified
practice is very strong, though owing
to the indifference of the magistrates
1t Is not strictly carried out. This,
however. was particularly fragrant
case, and the police felt compelled to
intervene. The quack was therefore
accosted by the guardians Of the law.
taken to tent ut the back Of his
stand and requested to show his diplo-
ma. To the stupefaction of the gend-
armes he exhibited perfectly au-
thentic degree Of doctor of medicine
Of the University of Paris. They were
profnse in their apologies, which the
doctor cut short with an urgent en-
treaty that they should say nothing
about what they had seen, "for." he
said, IF the people know that l am !
qualified doctor shall have no more
customers"

MIR. Johnston Again Announces.

In another column in this issue of the
Banner will be found the announcement
Of Mr.. w. J. Johnston of Plain Dealing
for reelection as one of the Represen-
tatiyes from this parish in the next
General Assembly of Louisiana.
Mr.. Johnston has the experience of
one term in the legislature and is doubt
less better qualified to represent the
people than before. He is a man that
we all know. Thoroughly reliable, con-
scientious, and experienced in legislative
affairs, there is no visible reason why
his candidacy should not meet with the
approval Of large number of voters.
Mr.. Johnson has had long experience
in affairs political and has always faith
fully performed his duty whenever
called upon to serve his people. He
needs no manner of introduction and we
bespeak for his candidacy your unbiased
consideration.

You are not experimenting on your
self when you take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for cold as that preparation
has won its great reputation and extern
sive sale by its remarkable cures of
colds, and can always be depended upon.
It is equally valuable for adults and
children and may be given to young
children with implicit confidence as it
contains no harmful drug. For sale by
all dealers.

Make Ready for the Fair.

Make Ready for the Fair.
our fair has been called the "Blue
Ribbon Fair" Why? Because Bos-
saer has ali but one blue ribbon to her
credit.
Are We going to try for the blue rib
bon again? If so, it behooves us to be
up and ADDING and provide the variety
and quality to make such another exhibit
as we have in the past. No one man
or committee Of men can do this bv
themselves. 1t takes the people-all
the people-with will and determine
ton to win to accomplish what we have
in the past.
Let each man feel that the success of
the fair depends upon himself and his
efforts. Bring the best you have of
everything. You may not think it good
enough but il ali thought that way we
would have nothing to exhibit, and your
State Fair Committee can do nothing
unless you bring the products with
which to make a display. Our products
may not be as good as usual, but the
other fellows products are the same.
So bring what you have and we will
give them show, anyway. Let every
farmer make good display and we will
have fair up to our usual standard.
We are all busy, it is true, but there is
only one week Of the fair and only one
time to make the exhibit and if we fail
now our chance is gone for the year.
SO make an extra effort this time and
let's have bigger and better fair
than ever.
Has the Bossier Fair benefited Bos-
sier Parish? | believe all will answer
eyes," Then let us be loyal to our
home and keep it up. We cannot spend
few days and little extra work more
probably and pleasantly than working
on our displays at our Parish Fair.
The live stock and races are as essen
tial to successful fair as the agricultu-
raj exhibits. The races give life and in
terest to fair that is actually necessary
to its success. Our purses are small, it
is true, but the crowd has as much fun
over a real race for a small purse as a
large one. The purses being small it is
natural that no fast stock will be at
tracted from distance, SO we will have
to fill our races with our home stock.
The same rule applies here. Bring
the best you have and we will have
races to interest all. Don't fail to bring
and enter your horse because he is not
a record breaker. Bring him anyway,
and we will fill our races and have our
fun.
There is horse, mare or colt on every
farm that can pace, trot or run, so if you
want to do your part toward supporting
the fair, bring them along. 1t does not
cost anything to enter and if you are
beaten you have the consolation of
knowing you tried to win and did your
part. Don't hold back because you
don't know your horse will win. If all
did that we would have no races and
soon no fair.
Bring your ponies and enter them and
enter into the spirit of the race as though
you had world beaten. / will promise
you an entertainment worth your trouble.
Let's all make a small sacrifice for the
success Of the Bossier Fair by bringing
and entering something.
Don't forget, the fair opens Thursday,
October 18th, which comes next week.

NlTs 0mlIH OCI OUSys
To the Voters and Taxpayers of Bossier Parish.
In view of the activity of other can
didates, you may wonder why have not
been to see you.
The reason is this: am your en-
ployee, you have intrusted me with the
making of your tax roll for the current
year. l consider that my first duty
and have been working to that end.
received my final instructions from the
State Board of Equalization August 10Th
and finished writing the tax roll Septem-
Der Goth.
The tax roll this year contains two
additional taxes which had to be figured
and extended in separate columns. They
are known as the Confederate Veteran
and Good Roads taxes, the first being
one-flfth of one mill and the latter one
fourth of one mill, and in addition to
this we have two extra school districts
and an addition to District No. Is which
gave, you might say, three extra school
districts. This, together with the Con-
federate Veteran and Good Roads taxes
compels work the tax roll for 1910 did
not contain, but notwithstanding this
fact the roll has been filed some three
weeks earlier than in 1910 and the col
lection of taxes begun that much sooner.
In conclusion, wish to say that l ex-
pect to now give my attention to the
campaign in the same vigorous way as
it has been given to the work of the office
and hope to see each and every one of
you in person before the primary and
solicit your support and influence. If
my work for the short unexpired term is
satisfactory, then honor me by re-elect-
ing me and in return therefor / pledge
myself to faithful and impartial per-
Torrance of my duty in the future as /
have tried to do in the past.
Thanking you for past favors, am,
Yours very truly,
