Resolutions of Respect.

Whereas, the last enemy, Death, has
removed from our midst our beloved
brother, B. A. Kelly, we the members of
the Order of the Eastern Star, Cypress
Chapter No. 80, bow in submission to the
will of Him who doeth all things well;
realizing that call things work together
for good for them that love the Lord"
Be ittherefore resolved, That in broth
er Kelly's death this order loses one of
it's worthy members. We will long recall
with sad regret that never more can we
greet this typical gentleman, whose gen.
ial manner and warm, hearty handshake
left the impression of the sincerity Of his
friendship. He was ever wise in coun-
sci, giving the wealth Of his experience
to his friends, dispensing without stint,
when he could lend hand and voice for
the uplift of humanity.
Resolved further, That we sincerely
tender our sympathies to the bereaved
family of our deceased brother, and point
them to Him, who is "the Way, the
Truth and the Life" who says "Come
unto Me all We that labor and are heavy
laden, and will give you rest" and who
is ga father of the fatherless, and q
Judge of the widow, is God in His holy
habitation." May this loving Father
throw His protecting arm about then
and shield them from all harm as they
pass through life's gloomy ways.
Resolved, That copy Of these resolu.
tions be placed upon the minutes of this
Chapter, and copy sent to the Bossiel
Banner fer publication, and, also, that :
copy be sent to the bereaved family.

Work was begun one day last week
(the 9th, we think) on the hard-surface
road to lead from Bossier City to this
place. Near Bossier City the cource of
the road will follow the track formerly
used by the Cotton Belt and will cross
that railway at a point south of the first
proposed point. At this end a change in
location has been suggested petition
having been circulated asking that the
road leave the railroad at the boundary
line between the Willow Chute planta-
ton and that of Mr.. ]. E. Burt and fol-
low the course of the present road to and
through old Benton and again come te
the railroad at the crossing south Of Mrs
| Belle Wise's residence. However, al
the contract has already been let the re.
quest Of the petition will no doubt b
disreguarded.

LIBRARY COUNTY WIDE
IMPORTANT ACTION TAKEN BY
LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.
RuraI Districts viii Be Given Adj
vantageS of Institution. Building
Nearing Completion.

OF special importance was the
meeting of the Library association
held on Wednesday afternoon at the
library, Mrs. E. T. Jordan, president.
Matters of interest connected with
the association were discussed fully
and freely, the members having in
mind the broadening of the work.
Believing that interest in the library
movement is countrywide, by unani-
nous vote all restrictions were re-
moved and the people of the rural
districts will be given the opportunity
to enjoy all the benefits of an up-to-
date free library. This of itself
should insure the heartiest co-Opera-
ton of the people of every commu-
nifty. In taking this step Dawson
goes Just a little ahead of what other
towns have done. One of the aims
of all effort put forth by those who
have worked so faithfully to estab-
lish a free library is the greatest
good to the greatest number, and 1t
is hoped that the largest possible
use will be made of the splendid col
lection of books. Rules and regula-
tions governing the Carnegie library
will be published later for the in
struction of the reading public. The
preparation for moving into the new
building involves a great deal OF
work and the librarian is taxed in
her efforts to have everything in
proper shape for new quarters. She
has been assisted from time to time
by different members and yet much
remains to be done. 1t is not known
lust when the new library will be
completed, but the contractor prom
ises that it shall not be a great while
before the building is turned over to
the city. There will not only be
place for storing all the books that
we can buy, but in addition a rest
room. reading rooms, cloak rooms,
etc., with a good sized auditorium.
A report of the years work makes
interesting reading and will be given
to the public at another time, but the
greatest good accomplished cannot
be put In cold figures.
The county fair came up for con-
sideration, reports from different
committees indicating keen interest
in every line of work. Despite I'M
favorable conditions brought about
by the long drouth all agreed that
by q little more effort all obstacles
might be overcome and it is the de-
termination OF those interested to
make the fair this year the best ever.
