a pleasant caller this afternoon.

Mr.. Dallas Jones of Shreveport spent
Monday in this community hunting bob

The election Tuesday passed quietly,
i SO far as we are informed. No fights or
other unseemly affairs have been re-
ported.
Miss Leila White has returned to
Cameron Parish to resume her duties as
teacher in one of the public schools of
the parish.
The same commissioners and clerks
who served in Tuesdays primary cleo
ton have been authorized by the Parish

The weekly calendars in print in this

them as they appear-paste them up
until you have one each for the twelve
months.
A jury term of Bossier District Court

| On Sunday Of last week Mrs. Gionetta
Silliman, relict of the late Mr.. Alexander
Silliman, and mother of the Silliman
brothers of this place, while on her way
to church suffered light stroke of apo
plexy. Her condition has continually
improved, but report yesterday was to
the effect that she was not doing so well.
She has lost the use of the limbs of her
! left side.
Mr.. M. B. Stampley of Carterville
while in this Office yesterday stated that
the Banner is sometimes, in a spirit OF
levity, referred to in his community as
) "The War News" We doubt seriously
if its editor and proprietor would dis
claim the title, and are inclined to the
belief that he will be rather proud of it
and have good laugh over this para
graph when he sees it in print.
7 A game of basket ball will be played
on the high school campus in this place
tomorrow afternoon between school
boys of this place and high school stu
. dents OF Shreveport. Our boys were
) defeated in a game played in Shreve-
port last Saturday, but they claim that
: team practice has since put them in such
trim to become formidable antagonists
1 Admission of 10 and Is cents will be
charged to defray the expense of the
game.
We regret to state that the editor Of
+ the Banner was not able to return home
D last Saturday, as was intimated in this
e column week ago. It was his hope tt
a be here at least by Tuesday to cast his
v ballot in helping to swell the Bossiel
: majority for the Democratic Coco
0 Government League candidates. In this
he was disappointed, and the Office force
!, as we'll as his friends and himself, regre
;, it very much. He is still at a Shreve'
. port sanitarium and reported to be doing
. well, but we are unable to state when h
= will be discharged. 1t is thought he will
:, not be able to leave for home for perhaps
a full week yet.
