MORE PoTAToEs.-Tuesday Henry
Davis, Of Bellevue, one of the Banners
old colored subscribers, called to renew
bis subscription. Remembering that last
season something was said in print about
I his exceptionally full yield of sweet
potatoes, he again reported his crop,
which, however, is not in the class OF
that OF twelve months ago. On one acre
he produced 300 bushels of the Key Yves,
and Nancy Hall varieties. His potatoes
we're all from slips, which were set out
June 18th. The potatoes were dug or
the goth, 2tst and 23d OF the past month
What makes this story worthy of note
more than anything else is that the loca-
ton Of Henry's potato patch is on what
be calls cold slavery time land" He
uses no fertilizer on the patch, but occa-
sionally plants it to peas.

A Halloween Party.

The Halloween entertainment at the
high school auditorium Tuesday even
ing, given under the auspices of the
Self Culture Club, was financial sue
cess and an evening of pleasure for
those who attended. The promoters
netted 1923, which sum will be passed to
the credit of the clubs library fund.
There were things to eat and drink at
the entertainment which were called by
horrid names but, like all eontrivances OF
witches, warlocks and devils, they were
very tempting to look upon and taste.
There were devices that seemed to be
meant to brighten away the guests, but
they only caused the young folk to draw
closer together, and thus was spice
added to a most pleasant evening.
A representative crowd was present.

BOSSicr Cattle Take Prizes.

Residents OF Bossier Parish will be
pleased over the announcement that the
Red Polled cattle exhibited by Messrs.
j. M. Sentell C Son of Willow Bend
plantation at the Texas State Fair took
two grand championships, four cham
pionships and number of blue ribbons,
not to mention the lesser scores, which
were but few. Knight Brothers of Cas-
piana were also successful exhibitors,
but the stock from the Bossier farm out
scored all others in that class. Here is
its list of winners:
Grand champion bull-Quade.
Grand champion female-Grinnel.
Senior champion bull-Rock.
Junior champion bull-Quade.
Senior champion cow-Grinnel.
Junior champion heifer-Terter.
Bull, three years and overlook.
Bull, junior yearling-Quator.
Bull, senior calf-Willow.
Cow, three years and over-Grinnel.
Heifer, senior yearling-Targer.
Heller, junior yearling-Terton.
Heifer, senior calf-Ben Girl.
In addition to the above, first place was
scored in these three entries: Aged
herd, get of bull, and produce of COW.
Messrs. Sentell, and especially the
younger man, Mr.. John Mercer Sentell,
jointly associated with his father and
who resides on the stock farm and has
active charge of it, are to be congratu-
lated over the record their stock is
making. Believing the soil of Bossier
Parish offered such range and its climate
such opportunities as would produce fine
cattle, they went after the best of the
desired breed to be had, secured it, and
have produced right here at home like
types. Their energy and foresight are
to be commended and their success
should prove an incentive to endeavor in
this direction to others. The Banner is
proud to report the record they are
making and expects to hear from these
same cattle in competition at Shreve-
port and New Orleans.

EStrayed or Stolen

ELEVEN HEAD OF MY CATTLE have been
missing ever since the morning of October
17th and as the range is good and there is plenty
of water on it, they undoubtedly have been stolen.
They are varying in color, marked with an over
bit in the right ear and two splits in the left ear,
and are branded on the left hip with a character
that resembles a and 6, with the tail of the z
and the point of the 6 joined. Four of them are
muleys without horns1. The public is warned
not to trade for these cattle. If you see them
notify me at Rocky Mount. J. S. JOHNSON.

The city council is having consid-

great deal of criticism in regard to
plans and machinery for the new wa
ter and electric plant. The Star pub
fishes the views of all sides, but it de-
sires to say right here that in its
opinion, based on it's observation, the
present council is handling the mat
ter as well as any council can. The
council is made up of representative
citizens and good business men, who
have the interest of the city at heart
We have no reason to believe that any
other nine men in town would do any
better, and we could easily pick out
nine (some Of them anxious to get

blame sight worse. It is all right for
the people to criticise them-we do q

that it comes as near knowing its
share as any other. We have seen a
right smart of Alex Twombly the
past three years and have been fav-
orably impressed by the fact that he
doesn't take up much of his time in
criticising other people. He tries to
go ahead and do his own work, and
we believe that if he is let alone he
will help ocala to expeditiously and
effectively complete its improvements.

flowers
Whose sunny smile and orange
blossomed gown
Supplant grim winters dreary garb
and froWn;
Whose balmy air and. rose-entrellised

Refreshed, at natures call, with rain
bowed showers,
Invite from chimes that share the
bleak renown
OF frigid ice-king's frosty robe and
To thee, henceforth, dedicate my
powers.
Ay, pen and Tyre to thee consecrate,

mer's state
Where health and happiness walk
hand in hand;
Where fortune gilds the trail of en-
terprise;
Where earth no boon to energy de-

Milo Deyo, who is close friend OF
Mr.. Charles Peyser and family OF
Ocala, has visited twice in this city
and is pleasantly remembered by al
who met him. A letter from Mr.
Deyo, inclosing the foregoing poem
informs US that he expects to make
Tampa his permanent home, so it il
likely that Ocala will be favored with
further visits from him.

Of course, well-informed persons
never expected that silly law, at
tempting to prevent white persons
from teaching in negro schools, would
stand the test of the courts. I'm the
case of the sisters of charity who
were arrested at ST. Augustine for
teaching little negroes-trying to CIV
ilize them and prevent them from
growing up a menace to society-the
Judge promptly ruled that no law had
been violated. The arrests, be it
known, were made on the order of the
governor, at the instance Of six ne
groes-politics, of course, being back
of it.-Lakeland Telegram.

The Star highly approves of the
city council passing ordinances to
compel railroads to put up gates at
dangerous crossings and make all
crossings smooth and comfortable for
foot passengers and vehicles. These
will be measures long needed, and
which the Star has pressed upon the
council for years. But we think they
should be passed without any refer
ence to the union passenger station.
IN the Stars opinion, the safety and
comfort of the people of the city is
worth more than the much discussed
station.
