We regret to mention the serious ILL
ness OF our aged and highly esteemed
friend Mr.. l. H. Martin. He has been
a-bed for more than week, but, though
weather conditions and other things
have served as unfavorable to his recov-
cry, he is said to be better to-day. His
sisters and other near relatives have
been at his bedside for several days.
AT Elsewhere in this issue of the
Banner appears a record of subscrip-
tons paid US during the past month. II
your name should be in this list, look
for it. If it is not there, write us, stating
the amount paid, and we will be pleased
TO make corrections on our books, when
found necessary. Please be prompt to
write. The best time to correct an error
is when it is first discovered.
Our Oil we'll thus far seems to be a
kind of flash in the pan. 1t is said to be
about the smallest producer of an ex-
ceptionally good grade of oil one would
see in visiting many active fields. And
therein lies the hitch-it produces only
two or three barrels day. The opera
tors are preparing to drill deeper, but as
the shallow strata of oil sand has been
passed it is greatly feared that the only
thing in store for the we'll is salt water
which would ruin it.
Despite the fact that Deputy Sheriff
j. A. Edwards automobile was wrecked
at Bossier City by a V. S. and P. freight
train on Tuesday of last week, which
was reported in the Banner, he is AGAR
at the steering wheel. He is driving
around in a handsome five passenger
Oakland car, about like the one which
was wrecked. Aside from the fact tina
he greatly needs car at this season O.
the year, he will no doubt be reimbursed
for his loss, which is sufficient in itsel
to prompt this last purchase.
We learn from our exchanges that TIT
promoters of the proposed interurbal
railway to lead from Shreveport acros
this parish and to Monroe, by way o
Minden, Homer and Ruston, are meeting
with no little encouragement. Liberia
amounts are said to have already BEEF
subscribed by the towns along the line
and one day last week Ward Seven o
Claiborne Parish voted almost unani
mously in favor of a 5-mill tax for
period of ten years in aid of the road
This will give bonus Of SIC, 600.
Monday afternoon Mr.. G. l. Wilson O
the Caddo Garage, Shreveport, cam
around to the office in his 1850 Abbott
Detroit roadster, about the finest in tn
city, and offered to take the writer t
Plain Dealing and return. The car wa
SO pretty and gave promise OF such fin
ride that we could not refuse. Coin
the trip was made in about an hour, an
returning made in five minutes less tina
an hour. No effort was made to spec
the car, as the roads are in many place
too rough for such. The trip we'll illus
trates the comfort and convenience {
such a car-for those who can affoI
| them.
Mr.. H. R. Mccullough, the newl
elected principal of our school, accom-
panied by Mrs. Mccullough and the
daughter, Miss Margaret, arrived or
day last week, and are occupying M
L. N. Bush's cottage. Mr.. McCulloug
is a teacher of about twenty years e.
perience and comes highly recommend
ed. He was for five years principal
the high school at Ruston, has taught
Hammond, and during the past tv
terms has been principal of the Jer
High School,. Also, he had some year
experience as teacher before coming
the State. Aided by such an able al
tactful body of young lady teachers,
will no doubt draw large attendant
and make success of the school.
