Hall and Gueydan Coming.

Because of the excessive rains the
latter part of last week the Hall party
was prevented in getting to Plain Deal
ing and this place to fill the speaking
engagements announced in last weeks
issue of the Banner. No little disap-
pointment was expressed in our town
and community over the weather Their
prevailing and the consequent condition
of our roads. They wanted to hear ad-
dresses made by the Good Government
League standard bearers and with
favorable weather prevailing would have
turned out in numbers.
However, it is our pleasure to an
nounce that the public of this com
munity will yet have an opportunity t.
meet Messrs. Hall and Gueydan ant
hear them make addresses, though it i
hardly probable that they will be abb
to visit Plain Dealing while making thi
short side trip.
A telegram to the editor of the Ban
ner, received yesterday from Hon. J
Zach Spearing of New Orleans, tn
Chairman for the League Executiv
Committee, is in part as follows:
"Judge Hall and Senator Gueyda
will hold a meeting in Benton on Mon
day, January Sth, at eleven o'clock dur
ing the forenoon. They will return
Shreveport to hold meeting there the
night. Please advertise"
