Showers o-day; cooler tomorrow.
Mr.. J. A. Bumgardner, a substantial
Linton citizen, was visitor in our town
last Saturday and again to-day.
Mr.. ]. M. Wilmington has ordered
the Banner mailed to himself at Nabor-
ton. where he has employment with the
Frost-Johnson Lumber Company.
Mr.. John J. Bogard still has under
wav improvements in the cottage he
recently purchased from Mrs. N. A.
Neeson, and which he and Mrs. Bogard
are now occupying.
Salt water has again given trouble at
the oil we'll site near this place, but it
has been successfully cased off and
drilling will be resumed as soon as the
cement work has become properly set.
A heavy rain, general so far as the
writer can learn, fell here at an early
hour last Saturday morning. It was
regular gully-washer and no doubt to
some extent injured crops, and so has the
continued cool weather retarded their
growth.
One day last week Mrs. C. E. Wilson
was taken to Shreveport sanitarium
and on Thursday underwent rather
complex and grave operation. Yester-
day her condition was reported as con-
tinually improving and it is thought she
will soon be able to return home.
Mrs. Grover C. Hill of Monroe, re-
membered by the Banners readers as
Miss Martha Johnston, spent last Friday
night in Benton as a guest of Misses
Emma Lou and Winnie Brownlee.
Her visit, though short, was much ap-
preeiated by her many old friends.
AS the reader will learn from this
issue of the Banner, the date for the
coming primary election, at which a
candidate for the office of Clerk of Court
will be nominated, has been fixed as
Tuesday, May 5th. In the event a second
primary is necessary it will be held one
week later.
Last night messages by wire brought
to Hon. W. C. Hughes of Hughes Spur
news of the illness of one Of his daugh-
tiers, now in school in Tallahassee, Fla,
She is said to have suffered an accute
attack of appendicitis, making an i'm
mdiate operation necessary. Mr.. Hughes
at once left for her bedside.
