turned home one day last week from

bis paper forwarded there.
The many friends of Mr.. Claude b.
Pr3thro of Shreveport will regret to
learn that he has been AIDED for month
from the effects of inflammatory rheu-
naatism. This we learned Monday from
the young mans brother-in-law, Rev.
]. M. Hickson, also of that city.
Services will not be held at the Presby-
terrain Church next Sunday, or at Cot
tage Grove the Sunday following, as
Rev. G. G. Woodbridge expects to be in
Fowler, Colorado, at that time. He will
be absent until about September 1st.
THIS announcement is authorized.)
DIT. N. Keoun of Plain Dealing Wis
tied Shreveport Monday for medical ex-
animation. The blood test showed that
4 he had had typhoid fever for some days,
which announcement did not come as a
surprise to the Doctor. He thinks if he
remains closely in doors and keeps quiet
4 the attack will be light one.
Mr.. T. w. w. Stinson of this place
lost by fire last Friday night the barn on
Oh his plantation, located on the river
about a mile out from Benton. The
& building was not new, but an old gin
house converted into barn. About 500
bales of hay, tools, gear, harness, imple-
ments, etc., were stored in the barn and
we're also dertroyed. 1t is thought the
Il Ere had it's origin from the carelessness
nf negro thief.
The initial schedule trip of the motor
n car over the local branch of the Cotton
u Belt was made Sunday. Returning tc
s Shreveport there were about sixteer
passengers aboard. The conductor is.Mr
I Charlie Ringing, who some ten or twelve
years ago, had a run on the Shreveport
8 branch, and is we'll known to many Of
the Banners readers. The new car fur
Al nishes a pleasant ride, free from dust
binders and smoke, and will no doubt
prove quite popular. The patrons OF this
Il service should feel grateful to District
Attorney Thomas w. Robertson of Min.
den and Railroad Commissioner B. A
Bridges, whose efforts, in representing
them, we're greatly instrumental in Sc.
curing it.
