Forty Years a Subscriber

N1I' y. .. ONcIcdSIl, one O1 our ldylOT-
town subscribers, has just made a 50
remittance, which pays his subscription
to January 1, 1914. He says in his note
to the proprietor that he thinks this re-
mittance will make him a paid subscri-
Der to the Banner for forty years-a
long span, indeed.
Feeling keen interest in the matter
we made an effort to trace his dates, or
rather to learn when he first became a
subscriber. Reference was made to the
cash book in use in the Banners Belle
vue Office from July, 1866, to July, 1880,
and as it happened, an entry that shows
that he was a subscriber as far back as
November, 1875, was soon found. On
February %, 1876, he paid So on sub
scription, which moved his date up to
November II, 1876. We are confident
that there are entries showing that he
was subscriber prior to 1875, though
in our hurried search they were not
found.
The Banner has no subscribers whose
names have been longer on its books
than Mr.. Overcash's, with the exception
of one and possibly two. Capt. w. J.
Hughes of Shreveport was subscriber
as far back as 1866, so the proprietor
informs US, and Mr.. w. H. Bledsoe of
Haughton has perhaps been subscriber
fully forty years. If we have other old
subscribers who are Sin their Glass; we
do not call their names to mind at this
moment. We think there are none.
Toward these old subscribers-these
three and many others whose names
have been ON the Banners books for
years-we feel particularly kindly, as
would be expected. There is quite a
list of them, and almost without excep-
ton they are uncomplaining, pay
promptly and never dispute date.
The proprietors of country weekly
newspapers are beyond doubt more ap-
preciative of subscribers than any other
class Of publishers and none are as dear
to them as those OF long standing. They
have place in the publishers heart as
no others.
Messrs. Hughes, Overcash and Bled-
soc have our thanks, expressed not with
out emotion, for their record as subscri-
bers to the Banner and we hope they
and the other told timers" may be
spared for years yet to come and evel
find an increasing interest in reading
the Banner.

DR.. w. L. Dickson Passes Beyond.

DR.. w. L. Dickson Passes Beyond.
From yesterdays Shreveport: Times.l
The funeral of DR.. w. L. Dickson,
who died of Bright's disease, from which
he had been suffering for two or three
months, yesterday morning at his home,
Anna and Pierre, will be held this after
noon at five o'clock at the family resi-
dence, under the auspices Of the Elks'
Lodge, Rev. J. K. Smith of the First
Presbyterian Church officiating.
DR.. Dickson, whose death, while not
unexpected, came as distinct shock to
his friends, is survived by his wife and
three brothers, DR.. S. A. Dickson, ex-
Mayor of Shreveport, and president of
the Morris 6; Dickson Wholesale Drug
Company, M. A. Dickson and j. c.
Dickson of Dixie.
DR.. Dickson was born December 4,
1858, in Bossier Parish, the son of Mi
chael A. Dickson and Martha Lipscomb.
His father was one of the Northwest
Louisiana pioneers, having large hold
ings especially planting interests, in
Bossier and Caddo parishes. Though
born in Bossier, DR.. Dickson was reared
at Rush Point, this parish, and most Of
his life was spent in Caddo. He gradu-
ated at old Centenary College at jack
son, and afterward pursued his medical
studies at the Bellevue Medical College,
from which he received his diploma in
1880. For number of years he prac-
ticed medicine at his old home at Rush
Point, and then here and became one of
the leading physicians of the parish.
On February "a, 1897, he was married to
Miss Claudia Sentell in New Orleans,
where he remained for several years
practising his profession. Finally he
returned to this city, where he remained
until his death. He was a very active
member of the State Medical Associa-
ton and the Shreveport Medical So
ciety, and was also active and success
full as business man, being vice-presi-
dent of the Morris G Dickson Company
wholesale druggists of this city.
His influence and ability as a physi-
clan was evidenced by the honors he re-
ceived in recognition of his ability and
popularity, including the appointments
on the Shreveport State Charity Hos.
pital Board, in the Blanchard and San
ders' administration. Governor Sanders
named him head of this board, but owing
to unsatisfactory health he resigned th'
position.
A few years ago he began to suffe
from diabetes, staying away from tn
city considerably, and was finally re
lieved of that trouble, only to begil
suffering about three months ago from
Bright's disease in aggravated form
For weeks his life was despaired Of an
, his death, though distinct shock, wa
not unexpected by the family and closes
friends.

Wake Court in Session.

The Superior Court of Wake Coun-
~ convened Monday for five weeks
term. Not many cases of Importance
have been heard. The most import
ant case is reported as follows by the
reporter of the News and Observer:
The women were asked to retire
from the court yesterday when J. A.
Tant was stripped for an examina-
ton before the jury to show what
injuries he had sustained in the en-
ployment of the Norfolk Southern
Company in August of 1910.
An unusual thing was this, but lit
gave the jury an opportunity to see
the measurements upon which Mr..
Tant based his claim of damages.
Just what was found isn't to be told
now while the case is undecided.
This action took up the day. Mr..
rant was injured in August of 1910
while serving the company as car in
spector. In some way or other on
Jones Street he became entangled in
the hose and was severely hurt. The
plaintiff declares that he was injured
through no fault of his own, and that
the company is responsible. The Nor
Iolk Southern takes the view that
there was ample warning given Tant
and that he did not exercise caution.
he is suing for $4,000 damages

ington, whose suit for divorce against
her husband is pending in Wake Su-
perior Court, has turned over the two
children to Mr.. Fleming, saying that
she is not financially able to provide

opinion of the Supreme Court two
weeks ago setting aside the order Of
Judge r. B. PEBBLES, awarding Mrs.

month. Mr.. Fleming, it is said, will
carry the children to Louisburg to
