Rev. G. G. Woodbridge of Plain Deal
ing preached two excellent sermons at
the Presbyterian Church Sunday. He
will preach next Sunday at Cottage
Grove.
Mr.. E. L. Johnson, popular young
gentleman who resides in Ward Four,
and brother of one of the candidates
for Clerk of Court, was an appreciated
caller yesterday.
To-day's river report records rise of
. OF foot in Red River at Shreveport
since yesterdays report. The stage
there is now % feet, 6 feet below the
flood stage. ga crest stage of not more
than "a feet is expected" according to
the report. At Fulton, Ark, the fall
continues.
During the open season for hunting
only sixty four licenses were sold. Five
were State licenses, thirty mine parish
licenses and twenty market hunters
licenses. One reason why there were so
few licenses sold is that it is not now
necessary to secure license if one
hunts only in the ward in which he
resides.
Mr.. j. M. Henderson of Plain Dealing,
Appointment citizen, we'll known through
out the parish, who entered the 1911
race for Clerk of Court, again offers for
that position. Mr.. Henderson's flatter-
ing vote in the former race is we'll
known. AS to his qualifications and
popularity with the masses little needs
to be said. He is experienced as book
/ keeper, is neat, rapid and accurate
copyist and has other gifts that we'll fit
him for the Office. If he should be so
fortunate as to secure the nomination
we are convinced that the Office would
enjoy business like administration and
that his supporters would have no occa-
sion to regret their choice.
In last weeks issue of the Banner a
paragraph in this column referred to
DR.. John P. Scott of Shreveport as the
owner of the popular drug store in that
/ city located at the corner of Texas and
Market Streets. We we're in error.
DR.. Scott was formerly owner of this
business, but it is now owned and man
aged by Mr.. John P. Scott, jr., nephew
of the older gentleman. The young
man has acquired the business by dint
of close application, his untiring energy
and ability to win trade. His adver-
tisement has occupied a conspicuous
position on the first page of the Banner
for some time, and he states that it has
won him additional trade from this par
ish. Success to you, Mr.. Scott, and the
Shreveport Drug Company.
