Mrs. Strobe are for the present stopping
with Mrs. Mamie Logan, and are receiv-
ing the congratulations of their new
found friends.
Miss Elsie Smith returned homo Tnes-
day from Shreveport, where she spent
several days at the home of her aunt
MRS. ii. II. Lunsford. Upon her return
she was accompanied by her cousin, Miss
Joyce Lunsford, who spent one day in
Benton as her guest.
James Player, who was interdicted and
sent to the insane asylum from this par
lsh, recently escaped and was captured
last Saturday by Mr.. S. R. Strayhan
near his home. He was jailed here and
has since been sent to the Shreveport
jail to await the coming of an officer
from the asylum.
F1fty-seven years ago last Saturday
DULY 1st) the first issue of the Banner
was published in Bellevue. Many are
the changes here in Bossier Parish that
the Banner has witnessed and chroni
cled since that day, but, fortunately, it
Is still in the family and has never
changed ownership or editorial manage
ment.
Miss Georgia Fortson has been in
Benton several days as guest at the
home OF her brother, Mr.. w. A. Fort
son, but expects to leave to- day for her
home in Homer. She taught during the
past term in Mansfield, but came to
Benton direct from Mineral Wells,
Texas, where she spent about two weeks
on social visit.
About, ten days ago statements were
mailed to a number of the Banners sub
scribers whose subscriptions expired on
the list. Just few of them have not as
yet RENTED. Unless they remit this
week their names will be dropped from
the Banners mailing list next Monday.
This is a duty that should have been
attended to Monday of this week.
Mr.. Haywood Gulley of Elm Grove
came to Benton Monday afternoon. He
had papers from his parents permitting
him to join the Louisian National Guard
and expects to see something of the Mex
| lean War, if the war materializes. AS
a new company of guardsmen is form
ing in Shreveport he will most likely
join them. The Banner wishes him
good luck and much glory.
A baseball game between the Benton
and Belcher teams was a part of the
entertainment at the Gillian 4th of July
celebration. 1t resulted in score of Z
to I, the game being called in the eighth
inning on account of rain. Collins and
Wyche comprised the battery for Ben
ton and it did some brilliant work, strk-
ing out most of the batters. The battery
for Belcher changed personnel so fire.
quently that definite statistics as to all
the component parts are not obtainable.
Nevertheless, Belcher put up a splendid
game.
Mr.. R. E. Wyche, one of the visitors
to Gilliam's big barbecue, has informed
a reporter that it was a decided success.
Everything for the entertainment of the
visitors was provided in profusion, and
the meats, he said, were excellent. They
were barbecued by Mr.. Reubin Douglas.
There was no public speaking, but a
lively baseball game, which is reported
elsewhere, was played. A hard rain
fell for about an hour during the even
ing, but fortunately did not begin at
Gillian until about $50 o'clock. By
that hour the majority of the pleasure
seekers had left for their homes.

were about 1870 people present, including
several visitors from nearby towns. All
enjoyed greatly the cakes and pies
cooked by the skilled housewives, and
the meats, which were so nicely cooked
by our jolly friend, Mr.. H. B. Wilson.
During the afternoon several kinds of
refreshments were served to every one,
and then the young people amused
themselves by boat riding, swimming
and rifle shooting until it was time to
depart for home. All left with light
hearts, hoping they might again have
the pleasure of spending another 4th of
July as pleasantly.

Fourth Of July Barbecue.
On the 4th T. w. w. Stinson and my
self attended a barbecue at Durdin' 8
Ferry, on Bodcau, given by residents of
the Ivan neighborhood. We left Benton
at five o'clock that morning and by 9:15
reached the ferry, where we found
friends assembled to do justice to the
meats barbecued by Mr.. Harry Wilson
and "Uncle Snort" and the baskets so
bountifully filled by the good ladies.
Pork and mutton were in abundance
and as we'll cooked as l ever saw. AS l
said before, we did full justice to the
dinner-and the jokes that enlivened the
board. Over one hundred more could
have been we'll fed. A group of lovely
ladies pressed me into service to help
with the ice cream-six large freezers-
and if you could have seen me you
would have thought l was only about
thirty. The coffee was excellent, also
the lemonade and cake after dinner.

An overwrought WashinGtonian today

the Government Hospital for the Insane,
addressed an inmate who was sprlnk-
ling the lawn and asked:
Are there any empty rooms in this
hospital?''

the inmate. as he put down his UNI
