Springs, Texas. They will make the
round trip in Mr.. Stroud's car, and ex-
pect to be gone about two weeks.
We learned. Tuesday evening that the
operators at the test oil we'll near this
place have had easy drilling for week
Or more past, encountering no rock.
siz-inch casing was set last Friday,
which, we presume, means that the we'll
is nearing its greatest depth.
Rev. G. G.. Woodbridge of Minden,
who has been called to preach at the
group Of Presbyterian churches in this
~ To- f ,.,aniys-
OF the Banner) preached two good SER
mons here Sunday. He will preach at
Cottage Grove and Plain Dealing on the
two Sundays next to follow.
Among the attendants at the dance
given in this place last night were Mr..
and Mrs. John B. Adger of Gillian, who
returned home this morning. Mrs. Ed
Logan, together with two of her chill
dsen, accompanied Mr.. Adger Cher
brother) and will visit in Gillian and at
the home of Mr.. J. E. Adger of Belcher
for some days.
We are reliably informed that citizens
I Of Wards Five and Six residing near
the old Bellevue bridge will build a
pancheon bridge across Lake Bodcau at
some point south of the public road,
where the stream traverses a flat coun-
thy and has less channel. Such bridge
would fairly well serve about all pur-
poses during the summer and fall, but
could not be used after the stream again
became full during the winter. The old
bridge occupies a convenient site and it
should be rebuilt. There is much good
lumber in it, some of which has never
50 much as had a nail in it, and if it is
not the purpose to rebuild during the
y tall this at least should be saved before
i is floated away next winter.
Mr.. Seborn H. Young of the Linton
community, whose failing condition was
mentioned in the issue of the Banner fol
June 9Th, died at his home Tuesday
night, the interment following yesterday
IN Linton Cemetery. Mr.. Young was
3 elghty-four years of age, and his death
IS said to be due to senilty rather thar
illness. He was Confederate veteran
and during the days of the bloody strug-
gle between North and South was ;
member OF Company B marks Guards
Wenty-Eighth Louisiana Regiment
hoaton's Brigade. During his three
years Of service he gained record as {
FEARLESS ndgallant soldier. AS either
nc was unpretentious, industrious and O
ahsulled integrity. The youth of thu
community in which he resided would d.
well to long cherish in mind the mora
sctltude OF his daily life. 1t can b.
safely said that good and useful either
mas passed away. So far as we are in
iofmed, he is survived by only five i'm
mediate relatives. They are two broth
efs-Messrs. r. w. and P. w. Young
and three sons-Messrs. r. E. and lob
