Let Well Enough Alone.

The people of ward three are willing
and submissive set of citizens to all laws
when enacted for the good of all the
people, but when it is evidently fact
that law has been passed for the ben
eft of special few some of us rebel,
and, if forced upon US, we submit with a
stubborn reluctancy. Now, if it could
be proven to US that the removal of the
Court House to Bossier City would be to
the financial advantage of the greater
part of the rank and file of our whole
parish, then we would say, let the Court
House be located in Bossier City; but,
as we see it, the only recipients of finan-
cial gain in this much talked-o move
would be the property owners in Bossier
City, while other just as good and use
full men and women would be seriously
damaged by such a move. We should
let we'll enough alone. RIA.

A party of local hunters has been
camped all the week at the Burnt Hill
Spring, east of the Nash old place.
They are in quest of deer and Tuesday
brought to earth young buck. The
game was shot by both Mr.. J. F. Adair
of Ivan and Mr.. j. H. Stinson of this
place, but it remained for MIR. Stinson's
little son, Gray, mounted on mule, to
urge the dogs on to capture it. How
ever, the older hunters soon came to his
assistance. Other game has perhaps
been brought into the camp by this time.

An Evening at Hil0.

One evening last week while Miss
Annie Ray Martin was entertaining her
friends, Misses Virginia and Carrie Dor
mon of Arcadia, she invited several gen.
tlemen to spend the evening with them
playing the new game of hilo, which was
recently invented by one of our resi-
dents, but is not yet upon the market.
All enjoyed the game very much and the
evening was spent most pleasantly.
From the introduction to the rules OF
the game the following statement is
taken: "The inventor of this game,
Edwin w. Doran, having spent an even
ing at hotel Office playing games, that
night awoke from a dream and was at
once conscious that he had been dream
playing a new game. He thought the
matter over carefully that night and the
next morning, and the result was H1Lo,
