Big Plantation Barbecue.

In last weeks issue Of the Banner we
failed to make mention of the annual
barbecue at the Boisseau plantation,
some miles south of Benton, given this
year on the 1st. The crowd present was
not large, but, as was planned, repre-
sentative and congenial. The meats
were furnished by Messrs. ]. H. and
r. w. Boisseau, who reside on and cul-
tivate the plantation, and the cakes, pies,
salads, ETC., by the ladies in attendance.
Everything was said to be Of first quail
ty, the three kinds OF meats on the table,
barbecued to turn, coming in for their
full quota of praise.
After dinner Mr.. McWilliams, who
is clever as an impersonator, entertained
the crowd for some time, the continued
laughter he elected serving as sauce fol
the excellent dinner. We are told that
thegentleman, who is visitor in Shreve-
] port, is cousin Of Mr.. John Now. Ford
of that city.
A watermelon cutting joined in BY
almost all present was next in order
They were good and were furnished il
abundance.
The guests left the Boisseau plantation
in happy frame Of mind, all voting
i their hosts as past masters at the art o
outdoor entertaining, and all will pleas
antly anticipate the coming OF anothe
such occasion.

Resolutions of Respect.
Inasmuch as our Infinite and ALI Wise
Creator has seen fit to remove from our
midst our beloved friend and faithful
co-worker, Miss Mary A. Lawrence,
And inasmuch as the beautiful example
of Christian fortitude and patience in
her long life of suffering shall ever be
remembered by each of US, we of the
Haughton Sunday School offer the fol-
lowing resolutions:
That the Sunday School has lost one
Of its most efficient teachers, the church
one Of its most earnest workers, and the
community at large one Of its most beau
tiful Christian characters.
That we bow in humble submission to
the will of the Most High, who is too
wise to err, but ever doeth all things we'll.
That these resolutions be entered upon
the minutes; that a copy Of the same be
sent to the bereaved family of-our de-
ceased friend and CO worker, and that a
copy be furnished the Bossier Banner
for publication.

fruitful stalk of cotton, grown on Bos-

Hull Of Old Steamboat Found.

Friends residing in this place and
l elsewhere haye made report of the find
ing of the hull of an old steamboat inn
bedded in the sand on the Bossier side
OF the bank of Red River at the Corner
plantation. According to the records
in possession of Mr.. John T. Pickett OF
Shreveport. this is supposed to be the
1 hull OF the Monterey, a small sidewheel
boat that went down in fog sixty years
/ ago. It was sunk near the Caddo side
of the river, but the shifting channeI
would easily account for it now being
on this side.
The discovery was made by ]. 7. Shell.
ton fisherman residing in the Dixie
community. The sand has been dug
away and the length of the boat foune
to be TO feet from stem to stem. A
number Of articles of merchandise wers
found, but none of much value. Trace
I chains and pad locks were found tina
were well preserved and some OF thes'
!, are now in use. Barrels of dry salt mea
and lard, also well preserved, were foun'
and some of the meat has since beel
eaten by negroes. The piece of boil
of cloth found is now on exhibition a
, the store of Messrs. NJ. A. 81. C. Dick
son of Dixie. This is also said to be il
+ a good state of preservation. Saddi

handles missing, forks spoons and man
other articles of merchandise have bee
