The city authorities Of Nauvoo have
placed a new crossing at Thirteenth

Nauvoo needs a good cement crossing
it Is on the west side Of Thirteenth

have remarked about this where only
one crossing exists running north and
south and the main travelled part OF

Advertising is a conversation be-
tween the merchant and the customer,
most effectively carried on through
the medium Of the daily newspaper.
The information thus conveyed must
be truthful or the customer will be
disappointed when the inspection
takes place. Disappointment will de-
feat or neutra1ize your advertisement.
The newspaper can perform its mis-
sion of carrying your advertisement to
the home, but the actual sale of the
goods must depend upon a truthful
presen tation Of the article offered.

PelIa9ra in This Parish.

We were surprised to learn this week
of the number of cases of pellagra ex-
listing among the negroes of this COM
munity. DR.. G.. A. Wise of VAUDEVILLE
is said to be treating several cases and
DR.. C.. H. Irion of this place is also
treating perhaps a dozen, or more.
DR.. Irion was called in to see boy
who had the disease in violent stage,
becoming in that condition in short
time. His feet and hands were literally
raw, his tongue swollen, his mouth and
face showing sores, and he continually
slobbered profusely. 1t looked like a
hopeless case, but the Doctor began his
treatment, prescribing as his diet raw
eggs and sweet milk. The boy is now
up and out and one day this week walked
from his home to the Doctors residence,
distance of fully mile.
The disease is not known to be con-
tagious, but is thought to be infectious.
Some practicing physicians think it is
spread by flies and a few have advanced
the belief that the bed bug is responsible
for it's spread. Also, it has been noted
that those who confine their diet to foods
lacking in protein are most susceptible
to'it. And particularly is warning given
against the use of musty or spoiled meal.
AS to the number of cases existing
among the negroes of this parish we have
no information, but some have been re-
ported in widely separated communities.
1t occurs to the writer that all classes
should at once be instructed as to how
best to prevent the spread of the disease.

A Lively Game of Ball.

Young men of Bossier City and Lin
ton played a game of baseball at the last
named place last Friday. The Bossier
City boys are said to have been ahead
up to the close OF the ninth inning, but
tenth inning was begun and in the
first half of this the Linton boys made
three runs. The game was then called,
the score being Is to IA in Linton's
favor. The Linton boys must be in
pretty good training, as early in the
season we remember that they mopped
up with the nine from this place to the
tune of 10 to /.

serious blow to some who can i'll afford
the loss.

Last Thursdays Celebration.

AS the readers of the Banner know,
last Thursday members of the r. J.
Hancock Chapter, U. D. c., who were
joined by Others, gave public dinner
and literary program to commemorate
the 10th birthday anniversary of JEFF
ferson Davis, President of the Confed-
eracy. AS June Sd president Davis
natal day. fell on Thursday this year
the reporter was unable to be present,
and for that reason cannot give as ex-
tended a notice as the occasion warrants.
The dinner is said to have been ex-
cellent, great variety of dishes being
offered, and there was much more than
enough for all present.
The program was given in the audi
forum of the high school building and
the repeated applause reflected that it
did not fail to delight the audience.
The several numbers are all said to have
been worthy of special mention. The
orator of the day was Rev. Jasper X.
Smith Of Shreveport, who chose for his
subject Sour Confederate Dead" His
eulogy to the veterans of the Lost Cause,
the Women of the Confederacy and,
indeed, to our whole Southland was
| splendid. 1t commanded the closest
attention of all.
The veterans present on this occasion,
so far as we were able to learn, were !:
Messrs. J. S. Alison, J. F. Gladney, E. M.
Laughlin, J. A. Bumgardner, Benton
Smith, H. D. Bundy, ]. 0. Nuckolls,
R. E. Hamiter, ST., H. L. Wheeler, R. w.
Young, J. P. Gleason, w. J. Linson,
A. Dudney, w. H. Smith, S. T. Taylor,
T. P. Larkin and w. H. Scanland. 1t
has now been more than fifty years since
the close of the war, and that SO few were
present goes to illustrate that their ranks
are growing thin.
