I'll Bet You Hadn't Thought of 1t
in just This Way.

Had it ever occurred to you that you
had as well try to be successful physi-
clan without attending medical school,
or successful lawyer without attending
law school, or a successful minister
without attending theological school
as to try to be a successful banker or
merchant or business man Of any kind
without first getting practical business
training? If you wanted to make first
class doctor, lawyer or minister you
would attend a university with a reputa-
ton. Why not use the same good judg-
ment in selecting a business school in
which to secure your training? The
Tyler Commercial College of Tyler,
Texas, is the business university of the
South. It enrolls more students annual
ly for Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Steno-
typewriting, Cotton CHASING, Business
Administration and Finance, and Teleg-
raphy than any other similar school in
America. Its students have come from
thirty mine different States; its grad
yates are holding the very best Of posi-
tions in the leading cities of the United
States. -s.
If you will spend from $500 to $3.50 for
tuition, board and books for course of
Shorthand, Stenotypewriting, or Book
keeping, or Telegraphy, or Cotton Class
Al or nd
Finance, or better still, spend SITS to $500
and complete any two OF these courses,
you will have made the best investment
of your life. What man Or woman with
grit cannot raise this amount? Hundreds
of students who borrowed every cent OF
their money to attend our school or gave
US their note on tuition have fonnd it the
best venture of their lives. They were
soon able to pay back the borrowed
money, continue holding their good jot
or go into business for themselves, with
assurance of success. If you always re-
main where you are you will always be
: what you are. Think this statement ovel
seriously. I'll bet you hadn't thought o.
it in just this way. More than 100 new
students will enroll before this month
closes. Why not you be among th'
number? You can enter any day ant
take up the work. S.

MIR. Barrett Visits This Parish.

Hon. Thos. c. Barret, of Shreveport,
the popular candidate for Gfvernor of
this State, filled several speaking en-
gagements in this parish last Thursday
and Friday. Despite the prevailing dis
agreeable weather and the sloppy con-
dition of the roads, he was greeted by
enthusiastic and representative crowds
at all points where he appeared and at
Red Land, which engagement he was
prevented in filling, large crowd had
gathered to hear his address.
At 2:3O CLOCK Thursday afternoon Mr..
Barrett spoke at Plain Dealing and at
seven o'clock that evening at Rocky
Mount. AT the first named place it is
said there were upwards of one hundred
voters present and at Rocky Mount some
thirty five or forty.
Friday forenoon Mr.. Barrett made an
address at Ivan. At three o'clock that
afternoon he was here, about forty-five
or fifty voters and few ladies Drawing
the weather and gathering at the Court
House to hear his address. The speaker
devoted some time in vindicating his
record as prohibitionist, which he in
sisted dated back some years-in fact
ever since prohibition had become q
public issue. Few promises were made
but the general welfare of the State ane
its great undeveloped natural resources
were dwelt upon at some length. Tht
editor of the Banner presided over the
meeting, introducing those before the
audience, and another speaker was DR.
C. H. Irion, also of this place.
Beyond all doubt the present indica
tions are that Mr.. Barrett will be given ;
sweeping victory over his opponents il
this parish.

Memoir.
MRS. ELIZABETH E. MATLocK ROGERS.


1t is with subdued and saddened feel
ings that l pause here to: write this
memoir of our dear mother, who went to
heaven Sunday, December 10, 1915. 1t
was 1880 O'Clock pm. when the silver
cord broke and released soul redeemed
by grace" which for sixty seven years,
one month and seven days had been in
carnated in mortality.
Mother was born in Mississippi. When
about three years old her parents moved
to Bossier Parish, Louisiana, and there
she lived until called to better land.
On the 10Th of August, 1869, she was
united in holy wedlock. to Joseph D.
Rogers by the Rev. Henry o. White, of
! the Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
then her pastor. To this happy union
eleven children we're born, three boys
and eight girls. Two daughters and one
son preceded her to that happy world,
while eight of us are lingering with
father, looking forward to the time of
the great family reunion on Herald
Square, New Jerusalem. We are weep
ing here, but Oh! what rejoicing over
| there.
We say the loss of mother is the great
est tragedy that can come to an earthly
home. But for mother we could not be-.
Mother gave us birth and mothers life
sustained US in our infancy. She cared
for US when we were helpless. 1t was to
her that We took our troubles. o, the
name of Mother.
No poets pen nor painters brush,
In honor to her fame,
Has ever reached half high enough
To write the Mothers name.
Make ink of tears and molten gems,
And sunbeams mixed together,
With holy hand and golden pen,
Go write the name of Mother.
Yet am glad there is way to turn
this awful sorrow and loss into happi-
ness and gain. This world is not our
home. While our family is decreasing
here it is increasing in heaven. We are
not weeping without hope" God is our
dwelling place. God is Life. When we
are in God we are alive God is not the
dwelling place of the dead. Who shall
regard Him as sepulcre? He is the God
OF the living and in Him is no death and
no darkness. 49, n
Man is the offspring of God and His
children coming home is the height OF
His glory. We rejoice that her departure
was in peace. While here she suffered
many trials and disappeinsmeass; such
as are common to mortal beings; but fol-
the past twenty-fi years her greatest
trials consisted in a warfare against a
decaying physical organism, to which
she had to finally succumh. + To this she
was perfectly conscious even to the last
breath. Her last moments were perfectly
tranquil and sanguine, for which we give
thanks to Almighty God, who doeth all
things well. ....
O Lord, let thy blessing rest upon us
children, and especially be thou the stay
and comfort OF our father, in whose
heart is an aching void which thou only
can fill. HER Son, WHILE.
