A Wartime Tax Recent.

Lying before the writer is a tax re-
ceipt now torn and sere from age. 1t
was issued to P. r. Doyle March 20,
1862, in the amount of $1,000, for parish
taxes for 1862, and is signed by Philo
Alden, Boosters wartime Sheriff. In
bourgeois small caps it bears this mark,
"Bossier Banner print" though close
inspection would seem to indicate that
the identity of the Office from which it
came should not have been disclosed.
However, it was no doutt good enough
for that day and time, and must have
we'll answered its purpose, for here it
still is to-day The job was product
of the Banners CID hand press (also
still "around here'') and is printed on a
good quality Of letter paper, ruled on
both sides. Another feature about it
not at all in keeping with the product of
the modern shop is its varied assort-
ment of types, rules and ornamental
borders. 1t shows not less than six diff
ferent type series, three ornamental Dor
ders and three specimens of brass rule,
and the entire sheet measures 5x734
inches, though the type form is only
xxi inches, and of but scant wording. 1t
would no doubt be viewed with interest
by any printer Of later generation.
This old receipt was found among pa
pers belonging to Col. j. A. Snider OF
Bellevue and was given by friend to
Deputy Sheriff J. A. Edwards, who
| handed it to the writer.

More About Big School Rally.

Mr.. c. G. Kennedy, Principal OF the
Bossier City High School, has written
this week to furnish the program OF
events for the Athletic and Intellectual
Rally to be held in Bossier City April
ist, and in which all white schools of
the parish are invited to participate, and
also to furnish other data. We give his
communication. in print below, except
that the programsreferred to is not pub
lished, having appeared in full in two
previous issues of the Banner:
Relative to our Athletic and Intellec-
tual Rally, to take place in Bossier City
April 1st, beg to offer few words OF
explanation, as follows:
In the event the 1900 words having
been spelled and no decision having
been reached as to which school is VIM
ner, suggest Century Speller, Part II !,
as final.
We intend in the Defamation and
Recitation Contest that each contestant
be given ten minutes, or twenty min
utes for both; value for both, three
points.
Solo value, three points for each
school.
Each school is to select its own decla-
nations, recitations and debates, thus
no two schools will likely have the same
subject for either event mentioned.
The best we can do for the relay il
40 yards, with a possible $50 yards
with four contestants from each school
I want the principal from each schoo
who intends entering for any Of the
events mentioned in the program tt
write me not later than March 22d, Civ
ing the names of pupils entered and To-
what events.
1t is my purpose to pay as much OF, i
not all, of the expenses of each contest
ant, as we will have gate fees for thu
athletic events and fees for the intellec
tual events at night. Have each con
testant wear his school colors SO tina
the gate keeper may pass him in free.
Furthermore, each principal vii
please let me know the number OF boy
and girls in the different events who ar
to remain over night, that may secur
homes for them. c. c. KENNEDY,
Principal Bossier City High School.
