leading merchants of this place, for
warded to Seattle, WASH, twenty four
gallons of country-made ribbon cane
syrup. 1t was consigned to Mr.. William

Thus far $3.50 has been raised toward
the total sum to be forwarded to Camp
Nichols (New Orleans) and used in the
purchase of big Christmas spread for
the old veteran inmates of that institu-
ton. Contributing to this fund is an
annual custom with the members of

Up to last Friday evening $50 bales of
cotton had been ginned this season at
the public gin in this place. There are
only about twenty-five or thirty more
bales in sight. The gin has not been
operated this week because of a lack of
water, occasioned by some break in the
pumping machinery. New parts have
been ordered.
Miss Eta Lowe in ordering the Ban
ner writes US as follows from Sarepta:
"Miss Yuma Barnett and I have de-
dided that we can't do without the Ban
ner any longer, as we always find it like
| a letter from home" These two young
ladies reside in North Bossier and it is
the writer's impression that they are
now teaching at Sarepta.
Messrs. T. j. and E. D. Taylor, w. NJ
Mccall, R. E. Wyche and DR.. S. Y
Alexander, who went out yesterday
morning with a pack of hounds for a
wolf race, brought in young fox, which
was killed by the dogs after run OF more
than an hour. Later the dogs trailed and
jumped wolf and ran it entirely out Of
the drive. At noon the dogs had still
not been located. u
Mr.. w. M. Morrow, of this place, who
makes repeated trips into Ward Six
says that over that way it is almost the
exception to find farmer who has not {
hundred or so bushels of sweet potatoes
for sale. The sweet potato is the poo
mans friend. They are not only flint
for table use, but good for stock. 1t il
to be hoped the big crop made in thi
parish can be saved.
