tied to larger one by satin ribbon has
come to us to announce the arrival Of

The latest report to reach us is to the
effect that the editor OF the Banner is
doing well, and will be able to return
home within few days-perhaps by
Saturday. All along he has been par
ticularly desirous of being home in time
to vote in the coming primary, and we
hope he will. He and Mrs. Scanland are
still at the Schumpert Memorial Santa
rum, Shreveport.
The Bensons' advertisement is to be
found on the fourth page of to-day's
issue of the Banner. This is not the
same advertisement that appeared last
week. New bargains have been added
to the list. Those who have an inclina-
ton to save on the purchase price Of
their clothing can always do so by buy
ing from this progressive firm, and espe-
cially during their dump sale. Read the
advertisement.
There is consolation in knowing thai
we will have, as heretofore, clever and
business-like set of gentlemen as men,
bers of the Police Jury. Three of the
tried and proven membe.s have no oppo-
sition, and, as we see it, there is good
material in the race from the other three
Wards. The Police Jury is an import
ant body and care should be exercised ir
the selection of it's membership. Oul
best talent from a business viewpoint
should comprise it's membership. They
not only make our local laws and fl
assessments, but disburse our funds
Be sure you vote for the right man.
Since the last issue of the Banner
there has indeed been a variety Of
weather locally, as well as in all othel
quarters, SO far as we can learn. Las
Thursday night there was light snow
fall, followed by more Friday, continued
cold prevailing for some days. The
lowest temperature registered, SO said
was ten degrees above zero. THAI
means cold weather here in our climate
Tuesday the weather began to moderate
and this morning the mercury ha:
climbed up to the sixty mark, more thar
temperate. There was heavy rainfall
at an early hour this morning, and the
present indications are that there will be
much more during the day. Freezing
temperature is predicted by night.
