Don't depend on your friends Bill and
Tom to tell people what you have on
your farm for sale. They may do very
well after fashion, but they can tell
only few. The Banner can tell every
body in the parish all in one week.
Better advertise what you have for sale
in the Banner if you hope to dispose of
| it.
Easter Sunday was observed here by
very pretty and edifying union service,
held in the Baptist Church, in which
children chiefly took part. Every num-
Der on the program was good, which
came as no surprise to the audience, as
| the children of the community have
because of past like experiences and
constant training become efficient in
such work. All of them did their parts
| well, even to the tiniest tot among them
little Larry Arnold Vance, about so
high. That the program was enjoyed
to the fullest was evidenced by the fact
that many restrained themselves from
applauding only by an effort.
The Police Jury was in session here
Tuesday. All members were present.
The judgment granting the land in the
long disputed territory located between
this parish and Bienville) to Bossier
was ordered recorded, together with
map showing the acreage in full. I'm
provements on the Parish Jail in the
amount of $500 were paid for. A reso-
luton was passed granting round-trip
transportation to the Macon (Ga.) re-
union to all Confederate veterans resid-
ing in the parish who will apply for
same. To secure the transportation one
must be a resident of the parish, known
to be a Confederate veteran and make
application to the Police Juror from his
ward. Little else but routine matter
was disposed of, SO far as we were able
to learn.
| A general election to name State,
parochial and ward officers will be held
throughout the parish next Tuesday.
The proclamation naming the commits
sioners and clerks to conduct same ap-
pears on the fourth page of to-day's
issue of the Banner. For the informal
ton of those interested we wish to state
that the returns must be made by COM
missioners (the law says not less than
two in number) and not by clerks and
deputy sheriffs. Clerks and deputy
sheriffs will not be paid for bringing in
the boxes, and deputy sheriffs cannot be
paid for more than two days service.
Those who do not come to the Treas
urer's Office for their money can author
ize those who do come to receipt for
same for them, and when boxes are ex-
pressed in list of those who served
should be mailed to the Treasurer so
that checks can be mailed out pro mptly.
