wild in that town, and that one man
who moved from New Orleans rented
his home for $4,000 per month in
New Orleans, and that when he got
to Shreveport, had to pay $4,000
per month for one not in as good
shape as his in New Orleans.
While Mr.. Cant was over here We'd
nesday with his blood-hounds, Mr.. A.

that the pups are about 8 months old,

We hope Mr.. Hynum will be success
full with them so that we will have a
pair in our midst.
