ing, for the friends of the two banks
and to create a cooperative spirit toI
all concerned, and as one OF the ON
GERS said in his talk, to make tht
stockholders feel that is is thei,
bank. 1t was gloomy and disagree
able evening outside, but one soon
forgot it after being warmly greet
ed by those on the reception commit
tee. Once inside, theChristmas spirit
prevailed to such an extent that YOU
felt nothing but warmth and cheer,
and gracious hospitality. The decora
tons of holly, miseltOe, southern smii
lax, red and green garlands, ferns and
crimson pOinsettas, were most effect
lively used, the Christmas color
scheme of red and green being car
ried out entirely. The archway con-
Meeting the two buildings was espe-
cially attractive trimmed with gar
lands Of red and green, and graceful
bamboo and poinsettas, and pots Of
fern were placed about at the points
Of vantage throughout the rooms
The long tabe extended the entire
length of the building and was quite
artistic in it's appointments. An i'm
mense centerpiece Of growing poin-
settas was very effective. The place
cards carried out the color motif of
red and green, and down the table
were bowls of fruit, olives, compotes
of minis, sailed almonds. Mr.. A. An
derson was POSTMASTER and intrOduc-
ed number of speakers who respond
ed gracefully and on variety of sub
jects, appropriate to the occasion
Prominent among the speakers were
Mr.. L. M. Tooke, president OF the

Miss Vera Jones; W. D. Golf 0. G..
Thomas; Y. M. Lyons; Mayor Bar.
nette; Lamar Taylor made a nice
talk and also presented the ten pei
cent dividends, which the stOckhold-
ers received. The dinner was beauti.
fully appointed and the menu as all
that could be desired from the oyster
cocktail down through all the courses,
Turkey, Cranberries, pickles, fried Oys:
tiers, green peas served on potatoes,
pineapple and cheese salad were
some Of the many good things serv-
| de. The ice course as par
ticularly attractive, emphasizing the
Christmas color scheme Of red and
green. The ice was in the shape of
| Christmas bells and the home made
cake was delicious. Black coffee
was served at the conclusion Of this
sumptuous feast. About ITO persons
were seated around the table, among
them several out Of town stOckhOld
ers, Mrs. s. W. Smith, of Shreveport
whose late husband, Mr.. s. W. Smith
organized the First National Bank
several years ago; Mr.. and Mrs. D

10 SHIP CARLOAD
 OF HOGS APRIL }

A shipment of hogs on the cooper atlve marketing plan will be made from here on Saturday, April 8, Coun- ty Agent T. M. Williams announced today. Citizens who have hogs which will be ready for marketing on that date are asked to notify Mr. Williams immediately so that space in the car may be reserved. The shipment will be the first from this county made in some time, and it is probable that space will be at premium. MT. Will Hams and others interested in CO., operative shipping will have charge of the carload.
 From April 3 as long as stock is available, a carload shipment will be scheduled from this county on the first Saturday of every month. By fixing definite date, MT. Williams hopes live stock growers will have am- pie time to prepare their stock for marketing and that little trouble will be met in assembling first class car loads which will maintain the high reputation the county has already made at the National Stockyards.
