Good Fall Business Hoped For.

The 1919 cotton yield in the Plain
Dealing country is generally estimated
at about a half crop But the price
promises to make up in some measure
for the shortage.
The corn crop is said to he the best
in ten years. and the acreage il also
large. No money will 90 out of the
country for corn and the hay crop Is
also the best for long time
The sweet potato crop is large in
area-nearly every one has some sweet
potatoes-and the crop is said to be in
splendid condition, with good prices
promised by the people who encourag-
ed the planting Of the crop. If all goes
well, the sweet potatoes alone may
make up for the shortage in the cotton
crop.
But big potato crOp-which Is as
sured-and bumper corn crop-which
is certain-make the bacon crop of this
section look very flattering. for there
are more hogs in the Plain Dealing
country now than ever before. accord
ing to information furnished the Ban
ner reporter by people whose business
it is to know such things.
There are also Il great many more
cattle and they are in better condition
than usual. The summer pastures
have been fine and the fall pastures
cannot but he good because of the
abundant rains.
4 considerable amount of money has
been placed in this part of the parish
for oil leases. Also. the timber people
and tie timber purchasers have done
IL part toward enlarging the bank de-
posits.
On the whole. the business. people
of Plain Dealing are looking forward
to IL fairly good fall trade.

monia. Deceased was eighty-six years.
nine months and three days Of age, and
bad resided at Red Land for more than
fifty years, she and her husband hav-
ing removed to Louisiana from Georgia
before the Civil War. Mr.. Phelps died
at Red Land during February. 1899.
The interment took place in old

rounding country, We're present at the
interment and the grave was covered
with floral offerings.
Mrs. Phelps was a life long and de-
voted member of the Baptist Church
and very active in good works. Her
influence will long survive among the
people Of the community in which she
dwelt for SO many years. She never
had any children. After her husbands
death she lived alone at Red Land
looking after her business affairs for
some twenty years. During late years
she was forced to give up housekeeping
on account Of age and infirmity and
has resided with the families of Messrs.
q. L. and :. T.. Mays. ut Red Land and
Plain Dealing. Mr.. George n Goodwin
and his family were old and valued
friends and at their home she was ten
derly nursed during her last illness.
The deceased leaves no blood rel
ativeS in BOSsier Parish. but possibly
there may he such in Georgia. Her
husband was an uncle of Messrs. &. T.
and :. +. Mays and Of Mrs. II. Il. Wise.
She leaves Il small estate. consisting of
Il home and some 50 acres of land at
Red Land and some mortagage notes.
There was no will. Presumably the
property will descend to her husbands
relatives here. unless closer kindred is
located in Georgia or elsewhere.
