of the writer and large circle of other
friends in this entire community.

Mr.. R. E. Wyche left yesterday on
business trip to Asherton and other
towns located in southwest Texas. He
expects to be away week, or perhaps
longer.
Miss Aileen Sibley has ordered her
paper forwarded to Cameron Cameron
Parish) instead of to Plain Dealing.
We presume she has again returned
there to teach.
Mr.. S. w. Vance, now stationed at
Tallulah in the capacity of farm demon
stration agent for several parishes, was
visitor in Benton Monday. Mr.. Vance
is brother of Mrs. J. c.. Logan of
VAUDEVILLE.
Misses Katie and MINIS Wyche and
Madeline ane Lucy Smith returned home
some days ago from Mansfield, where
they were guests at a house party given
by Misses Eloise and Mary Lizzie Wise
at the home of their parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. F. Wise.
According to current reports, a wolf
ran some of Mr. J. M. Sentell's sheep
one day last week, not waiting for night
fall. Despite the fact that the pack has
been freely hunted and six of the num-
Der captured, they are apparently be-
coming more bold. We presume that
other hunts will follow soon, but the
hunters are complaining of losing their
dogs from the disease commonly known
as sore mouth.
Mr.. George L. Davis, who now OPP
crates ferry across Lake Bodcau just
below the Bellevue bridge, was caller
last Friday. He stated that the lake
had risen about eighteen inches re-
Gently; at that time was falling fast,
but that fish were not striking well. He
also reported that the lumber for the
bridge was being hauled to that site and
|
ten out in the woods.
| Readers of the Banner will remember
that On June 18th Mr.. Macon Swami
of the Belcher community suffered in
iuries, resulting from the shaft Of hay
press striking him and breaking bones
in his hips. Nearly ever since that time
he has been patient at a Shreveport
sanitarium. He left one day last week
for his home on the Crescent plantation,
but was forced to return to the santa
rum for further attentions. However,
he left one day this week for Chicago
and the great lakes on pleasure and to
recuperate. He was accompanied by
his sister, Mrs. Azile Swami Holmes.
Mr.. w. F. Dennig of the Linton COM
munity was caller yesterday. He re-
ports his crops as being poor, saying the
the yield of cotton in his section would
again be very short this year. He says
the coming of the caterpillar at this
time would be a blessing to the cottor
growers, as they would destroy the
leaves and young squares of the plant
thus preventing too much shade from
the fast growing stalk and cutting of
the food supply of the boil weevil. HI
thinks if the boil weevil is fought in thi
way there will be none next season. HI
will introduce caterpillars into his field
if they do not come soon.
