The 4th of July Celebration.

Mr.. j. P. Seabaugh, chairman of the
Arrangement Committee for the 4th OF
July barbecue and celebration to be
given at Alden Bridge has written us,
asking that further announcements be
made as to the program for that day for
the entertainment of all visitors.
From what we can learn the celebra-
ton is to be patterned after those Of
former years the popularity and general
success of which are we'll known. The
hospitable people of the surrounding
community generally Guido themselves
on each succeeding occasion. The 4th
of July celebrations at Alden Bridge
have always been well attended and
prolific in their sources of pleasure.
About thirty carcasses have been
secured for the pit and it is expected
that others will be given. There will be
dancing both during the day and al
night in the K. of P. hall. A Shreve-
port band will furnish the music. The
Alden Bridge baseball nine will cross
bats with both the Bossier City ant
Bradley, Ark, teams-with the frs
named team during the forenoon ant
the other during the afternoon. AS We
pigeon shoot has not been suggested
but some other source of amusement viii
perhaps be attempted. 1t is expecte'
that the attendance will be large.

Plain Dealing.

Monday, June 24.-Crop prospects
continue to improve. Corn is said to be
we'll worked and is vigorous, and should
the seasons hold out for only short
time the older corn will make fair
crop. The younger, or later planted is
looking we'll, and if the seasons remain
at all favorable there will be a large
crop made. Cotton is, of necessity, late,
but is in growing condition, and could
make large yield if insect pests permit.
Master Marston, the eldest son OF Mr..
and Mrs. ]. M. Henderson, who had
been attending school in Belcher pre-
vious to his parents moving to Plain
Dealing, came in few days ago.

two young hearts in solemn trotf
forever.
A few minutes after three O'Clock
every whisper of the gay throng was
hushed, as the bride, upon her fiance's
arm, entered the room-a pleasant, un-
broken attention filled the room-then:
amidst a host of happy, well-wishine
friends the manly groom, with his ten
der graceful bride, stood at the hymenea]
altar, and with short but solemn and
impressive ceremony, Rev. Embree pro-
nounced them husband and wife.
Congratulations were in abundance.
After the older people had spoken, quito
number Of boys and girls who hac
| been schoolmates of the bride and pupils
of the groom gave their many express
sions for a long life and many happy
returns of the nuptial day.
The bride is an accomplished daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. F. Hudson, and.
because of her amiable ways and gentle
disposition, numbers her friends in
school aad out by the score. The groom
is one of Kentucky's knights, and has
been in our midst for the past two years
as principal of the Red Land Graded
School. He is great favorite with hi
pupils here, and made friends in ever!
circle in which he has moved during hi
stay in Louisiana.
The brides gown was an exquisite
creation of white net and lace, Worl
over silk, her only ornament being
diamond brooch. After the ceremony
7 she donned handsome travelling suit

Boosters Wheat Production.

The Banner has repeatedly called at
tention to the successful production of
wheat in this parish, and particularly
that grown on the plantation of Messrs.
j. H. & r. w. Boisseau, who have up to
this time been the largest local expert
mentors in that crop, SO far as we are
informed.
Their present crop of wheat is not the
first they have planted, but this season
the acreage was larger and the yield
better than that of past seasons. While
only small acreage has been planted
heretofore, this season it is so large and
the yield so full that they will have
car load to spare after reserving seed,
which will be shipped to some Western
market.
This, if we are correctly informed, will
be the first car of wheat to be shipped
from the parish and perhaps the first to
be shipped from the State. Panoramic
Photographic views of the field over
three feet in length have been made by
State official. These will be exhibited
in public places in Shreveport and per-
haps other cities.
The growing of oats on an extensive
scale in our parish dates back only about
three seasons. The crop has been a
success and money maker. In this
community it is harvested and threshed
by the latest improved machinery. We
have climate and soil readily adapted
to the growing of oats and the acreage
hereafter promises to be large. We are
told that the same machinery used in
the handling of this crop can be used
throughout in the handling of wheat
This fact, coupled with the successful
growth of wheat for two successive sea-
sons, will perhaps result in its genera
cultivation in our parish within yea
or so. Already much attention has beer
given to crops other than cotton, corr
and cane, and all the cereals yet to b.
tried not only grow successfully but ar
profitable crops, perhaps excepting rice
the cultivation of which has been aban
doned because of the lack of water witt
which to irrigate and unskilled labor.
When oats and wheat become two 0
our staple crops our farmers will hav
taken great stride in the direction Q
Investigation, and that's what save
] them when unusual farming condition
e are to be met. One crop failing tn
y other will perhaps be good one. Th
0 Boisseau Brothers have done a gres
service to the parish in calling attentio
n to the adaptability of wheat as crol
), and we hope to see the day hastene
r when its cultivation will be general an
: a ready market offered here at home.
