Assessor Smith Announces.

Assessor L. G. Smith, of this place,
who succeeded to that office during 1911,
following the resignation Of Mr.. E. R.
Mading, and who was reelected by a
handsome majority four years ago,
again announces in to-day's issue OF the
Banner as candidate. AS will be seen
from the above, Mr.. Smith has now been
the Assessor for this parish for little
more than four years. During his in
cumbency in Office he has closely ap-
piled himself to its every duty, has been
fair and impartial, and has, in SO far as
we are informed, given general satisfac-
ton to the public. His experience Of
the past will even better equip him fol
the duties of the office, and this fact, We
Judge, is fully appreciated by the quail
fed electors OF the parish. Mr.. Smith
is an excellent Christian gentleman, 9
worthy and neighborly citizen, and .
Jealous Master Mason. We cheerfully
advance his claims to the voters OF Bos-
sier Parish.

"At the urgent solicitation OF many

sented to become candidate for Sena-

well worthy of the position-which he
has so ably filled during the past two

Though new firm, they are both old

1899, prior to the year when this parish

He (Jacob) was the father of Messrs.
Henry and Maine Bodenheimer, now

and the successful bidders sublet the
contract to Messrs. J. M. Montgomery Of
Shreveport and J. H. Stinson of this
place, each getting half. The original
bid on this work was II cents per yard.
The levee at the Cash place was bid in
by Mr.. w. M. Rushing, former resi-

that the State will assume the entire

At least one residence-that of Mr.

Garrett, aged forty-nine years. -. At
Bossier City, October 2, 1885, William E.

Mention was made of the death of
Mrs. Mary Adger, wife of Mr.. R. l..
Adger, ST., resident of the parish, who
died from swamp fever during the after
noon of the 5th.
On the 5th public meeting was held
at Red Rand for the purpose OF issuing
a joint invitation to United States
geologist to visit that section and in
spect its iron ore deposits, and to arouse
interest in the cause generally.
Judge A. j. Murff, now of Shreveport,
was in charge of Bellevue Academy.
There were fifty pupils enrolled, a list of
their names appearing in print in the
issue of the Banner of the above date.
Ten OF these the writer knows to be
dead and the remaining forty are widely
scattered, only eleven of them now
being residents of the parish.
"Prohibition prevails in Wards -Four
and Five of this parish. At an election
held in this ward on the 21st of last
February the prohibitionists were de-
feated by a majority of III votes. Wards
One, Two and Three have never voted or
the question of license or no license fol
the sale of intoxicating liquors." Thus
does public sentiment change. Intoxi.

sembled by Chaplain Porter of the 61st
U. S. c.. l. We were not present at the
speaking, but learn that the speech of
the chaplain was appropriate for the
Situation of the darkey, and well
timed-and if only followed by the
negroes, is calculated to prove a benefit
to this unfortunate race, as well, as re-
bounding to the interest of the country
at large. Though we understand that a
great many of them were sorely disap-
pointed with the remarks of the chap
lain. Their credulity being imposed
upon by designing persons, they fool
ishly suppose, many of them, that a
general division of property will take
place about the first of next year-and
that they will be supported in idleness
and vagrancy. -"

Oil Well Operations in Bossier.


Prospecting for oil in this parish is
being carried forward at more widely
separated points than heretofore, and
at least one untouched territory is to be
tried out. We have reference to the
location in section 27, township 20, range
II, which is about three or four miles
northeast of Bellevue and within the
district subject to overflow by Lake
Bodcau. The derrick has been erected,
the rig is in place, and it is expected
that drilling will be begun to-day. 1t is
said that this prospecting is being
financed by Little Rock, Ark, capital.
A Texarkana, Ark, company began
drilling one day last week near Phelps
Lake on property owned by Judge R. c.
Drew of Minden and Mr.. w. E. Hall Of
Oil City. The drill is said to have
reached depth of about 400 feet. In
Caddo Parish, across the river from this
location, drilling is under way on Mr.
w. B. Means plantation.
| Messrs. s. S. Hunter and w. B. Nc
Cormick are said to have abandoned
their first we'll at Bossier City and art
now putting down second well not fal
| from the first location.
Work has been resumed at the Smitl
we'll, near Atkins. The depth reaches
is thought to be about 200 feet.
