selves, you will as in the past receive
an ocean of sympathy, when to us a
rivulet of assistance would amount
to more. If we fail now, then all hope
is passed, and our fair fields must
be abandoned to the negro and his
ally, or we must live as the object

CAREER. IN SHREVEPORT
COVERS SEVERAL YEARS.
MIR. TricheI Considered One Of Best
Banking Men in City and Leaves
the Continental with the Regret
Of its Board Of Directors.


The Shreveport Times of Sun
day paid a splendid and deserved
tribute to one of our Natchitoches
boys, one born, reared, and who
lived here until within the pas
eight years, and has countless
friends who are very much in
terested in his career.
| So it is with pleasure and pride
that we publish it below:
Mr.. John G. Tricnel, cashier
and director of the Continental
Bank and Trust Company of this
city, has rendered to the board of
directors of that bank his resigna-
ton as cashier and director, effec.
tive December 81, and it is au,
thoritively stated, will 90 over to
the American National Bank OF
Shreveport as a director and active
vice-president on January 1, 1915,
the active vice presidency being a
place at the American National
which, it is understood, to being
created for him by the American
National banks directory.
Mr.. Trichel came to Shreveport
some eight years since from Nat.
chitoches, where for some years he
was cashier of the Exchange Bank,
on of the best known and strong
est of country banks, and has
been a director and cashier of the
Continental Bank and Trust Com
pany here since its organization
continuously and leaves that or
ganization with the best wishes
and regret of it's board. He is
considered one OF the best banking
men in Shreveport, being atfabie,
pleasant and efficient at all times,
ard has a large circle of friends
and acquaintances both in and
around Shreveport, as well as all
over North Louisiana, and is beif e
congratulated on all sides over his
promotion.
The American National, while
Shreveport's Youngest national
bank, has made great strides, hav-
ing built up very envlable buNl-
ness since it's organization and
having the marked distinC ton the
past few years of paying the lar
gest dividend of anv bank in the
city. It's management is consid-
cred fortunate in securing the
services of Mr.. Trichel and is
being complimented on all sides on
this new addition to its official
family, which is confidently be-
tieved will prove popular with its
friends and patrons.
Mr.. Trichel has always taken a
leading part in any movement for
the upbuilding of Shreveport and
this country and is a director in
the Louisiana State Fair associa-
ton. also, 10 the Elks Building
Company !, which recently erected
our magnificent new Elks home,
and is also one of the organizers
and director of the Shreveport
Realty Company and is considered

Contrary to precedent, Congress
resumed work Tuesday after just
a very short Christmas recess, as
the Democratic leaders are deter
mined to expedite the passage Of
ali necessary legislation to avoid
an extra session after March 4th.
Practically all of the real work OF
the session is yet to be accom-
plished, because while the House
has begun to clear up the appro.
priation bills and few general
measures, the Senate in addition
to the supply measures has the
entire administration Legislative
program TO dispose of.

Con0ressman Aswell vote

Congressman Aswell voted
against the Hobson prohibition
measure before Congress. This
was doubtless good politics, as the
saloons are strong in the 9Th dis
ict.-Msns6eld Enterprise.
Unless the above was intended
as q bit of irony, it Is strange
that q paper, generally so well
informed, should make such an
error as to state that the saloons
are strong In the eighth district.
Every parish in the district is
dry except Rapides, and that Is

The sea monster swept up out
of the sea on the beach of Last
Island, near Morgan City which is
claimed by some to be a giant
whale from the snout to where the
tail stuffed away measures sixty
three and half feet. With its
tail intact the monster would
easily have been seventy five or
eighty feet in length. An effort
is being made to preserve the head
which the finder of this monster
says has a tongue and as whales
do not possess tongues he is an
xious TO discover to which order
or class this strange creature
belongs.

To the Voters Of Eatchitockes
Parish:

Elsewhere in the Enterprise will

late Joseph G.. Henry.
In making this announcement |
do so with the hearty support and
kind encouragement of nv most

Der of acquaintance who know

itical office before, and have no
obligations to fulfill. And I have
no promises to make other than
that promise which every true citi-
zen demands, namely: to serve
all the people of the parish all the
time.
There are no issues at this time
that warrant controversy and there
will be no neeo of taxing the time
and patience of the people with a
heated and strenuous campaign;

question to be decided IS: Who
is the man tor the place.

with an unblemished career, are
powerful factors in determining

brought about thru a land owner
who brought suit to compel a
manufacturer of these flying ma
chimes not to pass over his land at
a height of less than six hundred
feet. alleging that aeroplanes
frightened away his game, we're
likely to injure his crops and en-
danger workers in his fields.

HIGH SCHOOL NEWS.
BY MARY SORRELLS.
Football.

The football team of 1914 like those
 teams of 1912 and 1913 have past into history and with them goes the tire student body.
 The high school has produced some
 star football players and Coach Bas- sett is due the praise. This year the
 team was light but they made up for it in aggressiveness. They met all corners with the same fighting spirit. The people of this city really owe their fine athletic field to football Before 1912 we had football teams but we had no enthusiasm and few turn- ed out to see the games and very few knew any thing about football But in 1912 Coach Bassett with the material he had on hand modestly and without much show began work on this material and it developed the strong gest team the high school ever had and for that matter the best team in the state. The people did not wake up tC the fact until the boys romped
 over Little Rock in 1912 and then the enthusiasm knew no bounds. In that SQudu Wele SOlHc s CdL loOluoiA Ploy
 CTS and some of them were named as
 all stars for the state in the secon-
 dary class. There was Freeland
 Christopher, Mcintyre, Fletcher,
 John Sorrells, the Sloan boys and
 Jeff Allen and big John McGaughy
 and "Chuck" Lyle and Albright. That
 certainly was team to be proud oy
 and the class of football was worth
 going to see. At this time the seed
 was sown which grew into the pres ent athletic field, The sentiment such place owes it's origin to the
 showing made by these boys, in 1912
 and though they did not know it,
 when they crossed Little Rocks goal
 line for six touchdowns, they gave to the high school and to this city the most up-to-date athletic field in this state. This is not to the abate-
 ment at all of the credit due the school board and the Young Mems
 Progressive Business league but the real boys who did the business were Bassett's squad of 1912 who at first were unhonored until this showing
 and then there was nothing too good
 for them. Last year the team made a
 good showing and this year they
 made exceptionally good showing
 considering the weight of the team,
 but it will be many years before we
 shall see a team like the team of 1912
 In this years team Hamlin seems to have the advantage in ground galn- ing and it will not be forgotten or at least ought not to be that his same
 Hamlin last spring put V in the vic tory in baseball. It is to be doubted if this years team could have won the number of games without Hamlin
 and surely the pennant could not have
 been won without his pitching in baseball. Three cheers for the team of 1912 and for those of 1913 and 1914 1 and three cheers for Hamlin.
