Her First Contribution.

Little Ruth Smith, youngest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. L. G. Smith of this
place, accompanied by others, is now a
visitor in Chicago and will visit other
cities before returning home. Tuesday
handsomely inscribed (?) souvenir post
card came from her, and we can't resist
the temptation to give it a place in
print. 1t is her first contribution to
these columns, even if not so intended,
and no doubt her first to ever appear in
print. She writes:
"Dear Mr.. Abney: am way up north,
having a fine time. there is great
many places around here that makes me
think OF the banner office. haven't
much room on card. must cease. love
to all.-Ruth s."
We always like to be SO remembered

of this land are in cultivation and with
an assurance of the drainage of the re-
mainder, nearly the entire section would
soon be placed in cultivation. This is
perhaps the richest soil of Bossier Parish
