The Influenza Situation.

The Influenza epidemic continues in this
community. but there are comparative few
i'll ut this time SO it may be said that the
disease has not spread very fast. Mrs.
II. r. Thomas and her two younger sons
1.-THE only three members of that family at
honep have been AIDED with influenza, and
all members Of Clerk of Court HendersOn's
family. excepting the baby girl, have suf-
fcred attacks of it. Mrs. Henderson was
for some days quite i'll, but is reported to
be much better now. Only she and two of
her little girls are now a-bed, the others
being up and out. Among the negroes there
are said to have been a number of cases.
An aged negress died here this morning,
but we are not reliably informed that her
death was due to an attack OF the disease.
The first of the week Mr.. J. T. McDade,
of McDade, in telephone message to a
friend residing in this place, stated that he
had closed his store and shut down his gin
because of the many cases of the disease in
that community and as means of fight
ing it.
The disease does not seem to be spread
ing rapidly throughout the parish as Il
whole, which is encouraging. and readers of
the Banner will be pleased to learn that 1t
is under control at Camp Beauregard where
many of the home boys are now stationed.

Flues and Chlmneys.

State Fire Marshal Campbell urges the
people of Louisiana to see that all flues are
in proper condition before building the first
fire of the season. He also asks the house.
wives to see that all chimneys and fiues are
relieved of the accumulations of paper and
rags placed in them during the summer to
prevent the falling of SCOT, as this is n
common cause of fire during the first cool
weather when fires are built which have no
outlet owing to the clogged condition of the
chimneys.
Another thing to which he desires to call
especial attention at this time is the placing
of sheet metal beneath stoves and heaters,
thereby reducing the hazard of the flooring
getting too hot or Goals or ashes falling
from the stove on the floor.
The Fire Marshal feels that ii he can
obtain the cooperation of the people of the
state in these small requirements that the
fire loss will be materially reduced.

Homer DaIrymple Killed.

The following note, written in Shreveport
yesterday by Mr.. J. Ivan Dalrymple, has
just come to hand:
Dear Mr. Scdnldnd: Some weeks ago we
received several letters treturned to u.s.
that had been forwarded to Homer, with
notation on the face of the envelopes, Re-
turned to writer: deceased. Upon taking
the matter up with the War Department,
mt Washington, we were advised that they
had no record of any mishap whatever to
him. but had cabled the commander abroad
and would advise us as soon as possible.
Last night we received the following tele-
gram from the War Department:

vate Henry Homer Dalrymple, infantry, is
officially reported as killed in action; date
undetermined
Will you please allow space in the col
umns of your paper to the above in order
that his friends and acquaintances may be
advised of his death.
Thus has another one of Bossiers sons, a
studious, sturdy and deserving young man,
possessed of other traits of worth. and well
liked by all, been sacrificed on the altar of
freedom. But the outlawed nation shall be
made to pay in blood. and such is following
