A gentle rain fell here last night and,

considered excellent. Stands of cotton
are not good, but considerable replant-

Corn is fast taking on an excellent

1t seems Plain Dealing is not to escape

not gain entrance, and were tearing
away the screen over the window next
door, in the store of Messrs. White 6:
Company, but were frightened away
before finishing the job.

A congenial party enjoyed fishfry

quantity of fish were caught. Mrs. G..

got away. Some sport, this.
The auditorium of Plain Dealing High
School was literally damned last night
to witness the first evenings closing
program of the school. To say that the
exercises were especially good would be
to express it mildly. The little tots in
the doll drill were feast of loneliness.
In fact, every event on the program was
good and was heartily enjoyed by the
audience. The drilling of the children
reflected great credit to their teachers.
Tonight will witness the second event.
The graduating exercises will take place
Friday night.
