Her Only Son Claimed.

As the reader learned from last
weeks issue of the Banner. we had a
letter some days ago from Mrs. W. q.
johnson. of Waxahachie, Texas, re-
melMhered by many residents of Bos-
sier Parish as Miss Zula Rasberry, Of
Bellevue. She wrote to make a remit
tance for the Bellevue Cemetery fund.
which has before been acknowledged.
We regretted to learn of Mrs. john
sons recent grief. Her only son, Mr..
Leon johnson, was one Of the many
victims of the epidemic Of influenza
that swept the country some months
ago. His death occurred October 9th,
ut Camp Nlabry. Texas. where he had
then been stationed just little over a
month.
In her letter Mrs. Johnson speaks OF
her desire to visit the scenes of hel
childhood. She will. as she suggests
find things greatly changed to what
they were: but she may rest assured
| that there are old friends left to wei
come her, and that she has the condo
| lence of all of them III her recent be
reavement.

Oil Activities In Bossicr.

There were no compilations in Bos-
sier Parish last week. though the well
near Plain Dealing, which has excited
considerable attention. owing to its
location. was bailed dry ut around
300 feet. Drilling on it was resumed
the first of the week. and will proba-
bly, lie continued until oil is found, or
the 3DOO-foot depth is reached. There
was one abandonment. There was con-
siderable activity in leases during the
week.
The following report Of operations
in the parish We're given out at the
close of last week:

new total of S91.
Two weeks ago acknowledgment was
made of IL $40 remittance from another
old friend who resides on the Caddo
side of the river. At the time we
thought he lrld no relatives buried Ill
the old cemetery. and inquiry made
since has proved the impression to be
true. For Il long time Bellevue was
his home. so the Inference is that his
contribution was prompted only he
cause he fondly cheriShes the memory
| or deuartrd friends. 1t is rather Il
| pretty compliment to sentiment. we
| would not say that he is more mindful
of a duty in this direction than man!
who have relatives sleeping in the ole

is more thoughtful of departed friends
than some are of their own kin. Sucl
deeds are in good taste. And surel!

Half Bale to Acre Average.

Among the business visitors III Ben
to Tuesday was Mr.. J. w. Gore. who
farms rather large acreage of new
land up in the northwest corner OF the
parisi, = Phelps Lake district. MI
Gore has this season about 2.o acres
planted to cotton and about 200 acres
to corll-that is, that much under his
direct management. He said that he
believed the cotton yield this season
for the entire Phelps Lake district
would not be over d half hale to the
acre. and the average corn yield about
80 bushels an acre.
Aside from cotton and corn. there Is
hardly any other crop i'll the lake dlS-
