PASSED BY SESSION OF BANKS CHAPEL
CHURCH APRIL II, 1915.
God, in His loving, unerring provi-
dence, having removed from US, by
death, our brother, Alexander Rogers
Thompson, the Session of Banks Chapel
Church herewith expresses appreciation
of his character and faithful services as
a man, and a ruling elder of this Church.
We are unspeakably grieved at his de-
parture from US, and sadly miss him in
his presence and counsel as friend and
a member and officer of the Church OF
Jesus Christ.
And, as further expression Of our
appreciation and devotion, we set apart,
as sacred to his memory, page of oul
seasonal records.
Our hearty sympathy is extended te
the bereaved ones who loved him so ten
derly, and it is hereby directed thai
copies of this action be sent to his sor
and his daughter, that the same be pub
lished in the Bossier Banner and the
Christian Observer, and be read from
the pulpit of the Banks Chapel Church
in which he served his God so long ant
so faithfully.

Planting for Fair Exhibits.

Monday afternoon when there was lit
tie or no copy in sight and just as we
were on the eve of writing paragraph
or so to boost along interest in the Par
ish Fair, along came Mr.. E. S. Burt and
rode up to the Office window to make in
quiry about a sample package Of Gov
ernment cotton seed the editor had given
him. Soon after he rode up he began
to talk about the Parish Fair, saying
that this year the fair would no doubt
be better than ever before for the reason
that more are taking interest in it
that is, planting now to grow products
to be exhibited. AS for himself, he. said
he had planted something of everything
on which premiums are offered. That
isn't a bad plan and should be made a
rule with many of our farmers, and es-
pecially of such products the surplus OF
which can be consumed to advantage on
the farm, or marketed. Mr.. Burt is a
hustler in furthering the interests of the
fair and the board of directors is fortu-
nate in having enlisted his active sup
port.
Mr.. Burt is also Farm Demonstration
Agent for the parish, and should, by
reason of his many trips into the heart
of its farming districts, know what crops
will be planted this season. AS to this
he volunteered the information that
more feed and food stuffs will be planted
during 1915 than during any previous
three years. That looks like we have
resolved to begin living at home.

On Friday, March 26, 1915, Mr.. w. A.
Dumas and Miss Louarkie Holman were
united in marriage in Natchitoches.
They stole march on all of us. No one
was expecting any such move on their
part. On July 1st Of last year the bride
graduated as nurse from the Shreve-
port Charity Hospital, and for about
four months past has been nursing her
uncle. Her father, Mr.. J. L. Holman,
resides near Plain Dealing. The groom
has for several years resided near this
place. He is one of our best young
men and, because of his friendly and
jolly disposition, has many friends
wherever he goes. By calling he is a
farmer. We wish them both long and
happy life, attended by much success.

Dipping Vats.

That the matter of tick eradication in
this State is being given thought and
attention is quite evident from the fol-
lowing clippings:
Cattle recently shipped from Baton
Rouge to ST. Louis would have brought
$1,000 more if they had been brought
from a section not infected with cattle
ticks. This sort of incident points its
own argument, and yet there are people
who oppose cattle dipping st. Francis

neat little speech, thanking his cowork-
ers for the honor conferred on him as
President of the society. From now
until the close of school, the 18th OF
May, the pupils will be busy getting
ready for their annual entertainment.
This has, so far, been one of the most
successful sessions of any school ever
held here, and the teachers, one and all
deserve the thanks of the patrons for
their untiring work in behalf OF their
charge.

The first dipping vat in the parish, SO
far as we are informed, was put in sew

This is small vat and is used in dipping
hogs and other undersize stock. Mr..
