Comes Back to the Banner.

Saturday evening of last week there
arrived in Benton Mr.. J. NJ. Scanland,
only brother of the late editor and
owner Of the Banner and last survivor
of the Scanlands of his generation.
Mr.. Scanland needs no introduction at
our hands. He is known to many of
the Banners readers.
His life work has been in the news
paper field, devoting many years ex-
clusively to writing. During the sos
he was engaged in newspaper work in
Shreveport. both as a boy. while serv-
ing his apprenticeship under others.
and later conducting Il paper of his
own. He has ii number of times work
ed on the Banner. During 1873 he es-
tablished the Tribune in Minden, and
many other ventures in the newspaper
field in the South and West followed
his departure from Webster Parish.
Recently for several years he was the
editor and owner of the IermiiiOn
NeHs, this state, and later established
the Claiborne Journal in Port Gibson.
NxlSS.s ucul NAASh paw NoS "AtsAANA
Gulf he was born. His latest venture
was at Eudora, Ark, where. little
more than year ago he established
the EudOfu Herald. That paper he
suspended only last week, selling his
office material fixtures, ETC., to Mr..
J. l.. ClarkSOn, of COuShatta, whose
printing office was destroyed by fire
two weeks ago.
In quitting Eudora Mr.. Scanland
says he has no regrets. There is In
that town NEST" of German mer
chants. who. quite naturally, did not
look with favor upon the editorial tone
| of his paper. They and Il number OF
..slackerS" in the town withdrew theil
| patronage-so lie promptly left then
without Il newspaper by pulling III
stakes. folding his tent and quietl!
journeying on.
But what we started out to say i:
that Mr.. Scanland has become perma
nently connected with the Banner AM
will be engaged chiefly in editorial AM
reportorial work. AS the writer of thi
will through this arrangement hav'
more time to devote to the mechanical
duties of the office, we believe We cal
safely promise our readers Il bette
paper than for some months past, ant
out on time every week. We both ar
going to try for this, and health re
naming at par, and barring accidents
we are going to do it. Just watch on
stride-;ind read the Banner regularly

Extremely Unfortunate

The misfortune of DR.. Shaver
and his entire family who were
attacked with Influenza, has
become generally known, but
another and more unfortunate
one has befell the family. The
DR.. contracted the disease in la
boring for an entire day with the
son of Senator Fall and in a few
days the entire family had be-
come stricken with the plague.
Being in strange surroundings
so to speak, the DR.. phoned his
brother, Joe A. Shaver at East
Vaughn. who with his wife came
at once TO Carrizozo to nurse the
suffering relatives. They had
not been but ebout one week,
when Mr.. Shaver took to his bed
and with all the medical atten-
ton that could be had he grad.
ually grew worse until last Sum-
day he passed away.
The unfortunate feature of this
sad affair, is the link of misfor-
tune added to the Doctors chain
of unhappiness which caused. him
to lose his brother, who had
so kindly came to his assistance
and just at the time when recov-
cry for the family seemed evil
dent, he was taken away himself.
DIR. Shaver is not the only ply
stefan who has suffered from the
disease; from every town in the
land come reports of physicians
being overcome, and fallen VIC
tins of the Flu after laboring
with those afflicted and quite a
number have lost their lives. We
are glad at this writing to be
able TO say that the DR.. and his
family are out of danger and
that he will soon be able to re-
sumo his practice.
