Death Ends His Suffering.

At an early hour yesterday morning
Mr.. Charles A. Heifner, rerident of
this place, died as result OF some pull
monary affection, thought to have been
contracted during his short stay in
Texas. The remains were taken to Ar
kama on the evening train and inferred
to-day at the old Chalybeate Springs
burial grounds.
Mr.. Heifner was bed-ridden for some
months, and during the last stages OF
his illness he was SO emaciated and SUI
fered so much from acute pain that his
condition aroused the commiseration OF
all. Death must have come as well
come visitor to relieve him of his long
suffering.
Mr.. Heifner was worthy man and
good citizen, kindly to his family and
ever considerate as neighbor. He was
of that type that go to make up thrifty
community and he will be much missed
in our midst.
He is survived by his father, Mr.. John
Heifner of the Alabama Settlement, ano
several brothers and sisters, among whom
are Mr., A. w. Heifner and Mrs. J. w
Walker of Plain Dealing and Mrs. J. q
Rogers of this place. His widow and sever
children, three of whom are grown-twt
married-also survive him.
The coincidence of the entire commun
ity is extended the family in their hou
of grief and affection. May God IN Hi
wisdom heal their bleeding hearts ant
spare them to health and happiness.

The u. D. C.'s Meet.

The R. ]. Hancock Chapter, U. D. c.,
met Friday, April 4th, in Benton, La.
After opening with the Lords Prayer,
an interesting letter from Mrs. E. C. T.
Longmire, Registrar of the State Divis-
ion, wherein she complimented the
chapter on its good work, was read.
A letter from Miss Allan, Custodian
of the Old Soldiers Home at New Or
leans, calling attention to the need of a
new mosquito bar for the chapters bed
in the infirmary, was read. It was duly
moved and carried that necessary sum
for the purchase of the bar be forwarded
the Custodian, and that she be requested
to notify the chapter when the bed
needed new furnishings.
The Chairman of the Committee for
the Trader Fund acknowledged receipt
of the ST contribution, thanking the
chapter for same.
The credential papers of Mrs. Mary
Arnold Vance were presented, and a
committee consisting of Mesdames l. H.
Martin and Sue Abney and Miss Carter
was appointed to examine same. Every
thing proving satisfactory, the papers
were signed, ready for the Registrar,
and Mrs. Vance gladly received as a
member. CThe chapter would like to
increase it's membership much more.)
There being no. further business, the
President suggested short program, as
the date was so near the anniversary OF
the battle of Shiloh-April 9th.
Mrs. 1. H. Martin read short BIZ
ographical sketch of Gen. Albert Sidney
Johnston, who was killed on the 9th Of
April, 1862, at the battle of Shiloh.
Mrs. Scanland read some extracts from
the pen of Mr.. J. S. Williams, showing
what ideas were instilled in the minds Of
the youth of the North in regard to the
ssConfederate War"-what he was led t
believe until he looked into the matter
himself, when he was most firmly con
WINGED that Harriet Beecher Stoves
sUncle Toms Cabin" had more to d.
in precipitating the war than any othe
literature ever written.
-"Lorena' and "Massa's in de Cold
Cold Ground' were rendered by Mrs
Martin and Miss Alison, Mrs. Marti,
singing a beautiful alto.
Mrs. J. S. Alison read selection
"Shiloh Battlefield" written by Mrs
D. A. McDougal of Sapulpa, Okla
poem we'll worth a place in every scra
book. It is touching appeal for tn
monument to be erected on the battle
field of Shiloh in memory of the Con
federate dead.
The President asked permission t
read "Bishop Gamblers Defense of tn
!, South" The Bishops remarks are kee
and scintillating, sending sparks
every direction, hitting his adversarie'
; Northern capitalist and his JEWS
lawyer, at every turn. Truly, it is wort
, reading.
: The chapter then adjourned to meet
y the 18th at the home of Mrs. N. v
= Sentell of Collinsburg, where they wi
, be entertained jointly by Mesdam'
' Sentell and Fontaine. Those intendir
: to be present will please notify the ho
tesses that they may know where

More Honors for BosSler Corn.

We are pleased to "brag" on the prod
ucts of our great parish, and particularly
it's agricultural products, whenever the
opportunity is presented. Therefore it
is with pride that we look upon two di-,,
plomas of honor, now on our desk. They
were awarded by the judges of the Fifth
National Corn Exposition, held during
January and February, in Columbia,
S. c., and show the name Of Mr.. N. w.
Stewart, prosperous ward four farmer.
1t is indeed gratifying to the average
citizen of home pride to see Bossier corn
win even second place when in COMPETE
ton with the whole State. The diplomas
read: "Second prize, ten ears Of yellow
dent corn from louisiana" and "second
prize, single ear of dent corn from Lou
isiana."

At SEEING WILSON
Jasper, After a Walk From
Portland, Me-, Objects, So
Engagement Is Broken.

II there is any particular joy In
calling on the President of the United
States, Jasper can't see it. In fact
Jasper has lost all interest in life
and is a pessimist. He's the donkey
which B. H. Anderson, former secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce of
Butler. Pa, is leading from Portland,
Me-, to Portland, Ore, in payment of an
election bet made last fall on Theo-
dore Roosevelt and Jasper says that
he himself is no longer a donkey. but
a goat, and that IL the mascot of the
Democratic party has got to hike
from coast to coast as = regular thing,
the party had better get a freight car
as its emblem
Jasper aud his master were TO have
reached Washington Monday. and Mr..
Anderson had arranged to see the
President on Monday morning. He
had made the arrangements, how ever,
without consulting Jasper. That's
why the party didn't come off. for
about o'clock Monday morning. and,
stretching himself out In the shade
OF tree three miles east Of the Ben
ming racs-track. refused to bulge
another inch.

the United states had never oefors
been kept waiting for a visitor, much
less an ass, IL was the Presidents
misfortune to have the rule broken in
the present instance. As for himself.

and his feet were sore, and, come
what may. he intended to have a nap.
And he did.
Mr.. Anderson and his donkey ar
rived In the White House grounds
yesterday afternoon, but this time the
President was not available, being In
conference with Senator Bacon over
the Mexican situation. and couldn't
receive his guests. Newspaper men

to make friends with Jasper, but

colonel has apparently been doomed
by the Wilson Administration. fled
suit in the District supreme Court
this afternoon against Secretary of

him. es---i-. -s---ss--o

that It Is not imperative for the present
to promote Major Ray. although he Is
at the head OF the list for promotion.
Major Ray has been making fight for
nearly a year. his nomination by Presf-
dent Taft having been held up by the
Senate.
The general impression Is that Presi-

Justice Could issued a rule this after
noon requiring Secretary Garrison and
