Mr.. f. B. Lockey, of Rocky Mount.
called at the Banner Office Tuesday af-
ternoon and presented the editor with
a nice little sweet potato which had
just tipped the scales up town at 81
pounds, and just to show that he is no
piker when it comes to sweet potatoes,
Mr.. Jockey invited the scribe out front
where he had wagon containing
twenty-seven bushels of potatoes COM
pairing favorahly with the one he had
brought in the office, which he said he
had dug from four rows. Mr. Jockey
did not state the length Of the rows,
but it is presumed that his farm lies
entirely within Bossier Parish. They
We're all nice smooth potatoes and were
sight to appeal to the astronomical
tastes of any true Southerner.

TO ENFORCE Or NOT TO ENFORCE.

OF all national problems just now perhaps the great

or with perfect indifference. the entire truth were

selves.

Rather Bashful.

He was a bashful young fellow and
was invited to dine. He was very
much agitated. He sat opposite a
mirror and discovered that he had
forgotten to comb his hair, then he
dropped his fork on the floor and as
he stopped to pick it up he upset his
coffee. Matters went from bad to
worse until finally the young man
quit eating and put his hand under
the table. The toose end Of the table
cloth was lying in his lap and when
he touched it he turned pale. He
thought it was his shirt and that he
had forgotten to put that garment in
his trousers. That accounted for his
further embarrassment. He hurridly
stuffed the supposed shirt inside his
trousers, afterward when the fami-
ly arose from the table there was a
crash, the dishes lay in a broken mass

three feet Of the table cloth out of
