Miss Mabel Seanland returned this morning from a several days’ visit to Miss Bessie Wheless, of Alden Bridge.

Misses Sallie Tidwell and Luda and Emma Lou Brownlee attended the dance given at Plain Dealing last Friday night.

The Sunday Morning Messenger, of Shreveport, says: “ The auto-deliverywagon has at last ‘arrived.’ It belongs to the Mistrot Dry Goods Co-"

Miss Sadie Tait, of Denison, Texas, who has been a visitor at the home of her cousin, Mrs. C. O. Gayle, for several weeks past, left to-day for her home.

Minden Democrat, 14th: Mr. Z. P. (ireen and wife, formely of this place but now located at Emma, in Bossier Parish, were visitors here several days this week. Mr. Green paid this office a call and ordered the Democrat sent to his address.

The Banner is pleased to announce that Mrs. A. Silliman, who was reported to be seriously ill at her old home, Cabool, Mo., some time since, is now much improved in health. Mr. and Mrs. Silliman are expected home at an early date, probably this week.

Shreveport Journal, 14th: Mr. N. W. Sentell has delivered to the Progressive League several large Elberta peaches to be used in exhibiting North Louisiana products in the exhibit train to be run through the northwest. The peaches were grown in Mr. Sentell’s orchard at Collinsburg.

As an appendix to a business letter addressed to this office Capt. J. W. Onley, of Belleveu, has the following to say: “At last the water in Bodcau hasbugun to recede, and it is hoped that it will soon reach its normal stage. On ac c o u n t of frequent rains, roads in all directions are almost impassable, Crop prospects were never poorer in this section. Baseball continues to be a fad with our boys.

At the meeting of Cypress Lodge held at Alden Bridge last Thursday night Mr. H. H. Wheless was raised to the sub- limç degree of Master Mason and Mr. R. B. Nash, Jr., of Belcher, passed to the Pellowcraft degree. About 1 o’clock, after the Lodge had finished its labors, all present were invited to the down stairs hall, where the Alden Bridge brethren had prepared an appetizing and substantial lunch. Everybody en­joyed this. Several visitors were pres­ent, including nine from Shreveport. The next regular meeting will be held in j October.

The local editor of the Banner spent ; yesterday at “ Linwood,” the home of; his cousin, Mr. W. E. Ivey. He is one of the men among those whom we know who knows how to make a person feel wholly at home, and his dear wife and ! the others of the household are his close ; seconds. It goes without saying that we ! had a good time. We reached his home j early in the morning—in time for break- j fast—and the first thing to attract our j attention was a shingle nailed to a large j

tribunal in this case.Dr. Irion, member from ward 2, who

was absent at roll call, came in before the noon reeess and occupied his chair the rest of the day.

The Board took a recess until t o’elock p.m.

the columns of the above-the- average country weekly. A dollar spent in such a way brings ten times the results it would if spent in advertising in a daily news­paper. Why?Ï Because the daily’s rates are usually from twice to four times that of the weekly.Î Because the daily , s the pape» of a day, whfle the weekly is read (by each member of the family) from the day of its publication until Sunday night and then care­fully laid away for reference.1 Because the columns of the daily belittle fts customers, read­ers and friends, while the weekly extols ttiem.Î Because the city editor is a stranger in the midst of his read­ers, while the country editor is one of his community—he mixes and mingles with his readers and knows them all.% Because readers have learned to discredit much that appears in the sensational daily, while they have the same faith in the coqntry weekly that they do in their best friends.^ There are other good “ reasons why” but space forbids.If We call especial attention to our

Open-Space Contractwhich permits of the annual ad­vertiser using as many or as few inches of space as he likes in aky particular issue. In other words, a large ad. can be run when the advertiser feels so inolined and a smaller one at other times. No additional charge is made fo r composition (type setting) except when changes are made oftener than once a month.Ï We would be glad to tjilk adver­tising with you. It’s no trouble to give rates by mail.
