insurance. A negro watchman euised the fire by dropping a lantern.

Parish F a ir D a te E x te n d e d .

Mr. M. S. Bolinger, of P la in D ealing, sir.ent of the Parish F a ir A ssocia­

te, has written the Banner to say that Ik fair will not close until to-morrow {Friday) evening, aud requests th a t nth announcement be made in print. Itedate of closing was extended be-

of the continued rain yesterday, Jäfentiag attendance.Mr. Bolinger adds in his note: “ Thet̂endance opening day was larger than

hi at any of the former fairs held here. h have some extra fine exhibits in all Apartments.”

D ick so n -J e ter .

A wedding announcement received a t las e reads: “ Mrs. M arie Louiseeter ounces the m arriage of her Kghter, Adelaide Scanland, to Mr. maid Coty Dickson on W ednesday, Sober 11,1916, Shreveport, L a .” This 5tty and accomplished young lady is a five of Bossier Parish and has scores

I Ifriends in Benton and this entire com- nity. Their well wishes for her re and her general happiness follow wherever she may be to-day on her «y moon.

day, has proved a record breaker in point of attendance, as well as in the m ent of its agricultural exhibits, though not as numerous as in former years.

A t eleven o’clock Mr. M. S . Bolinger, president of the association, delivered the annual address, which was listened to with m arked attention by the large audience, from the g rand stand. The address was exceedingly well prepared and no hastily w ritten report could do it justice.

Follow ing the presiden t’s address, Superin tendent of Public Schools F o rt- son made a short talk and Prof. E g g le ­ston, superintendent of the educational feature of the fair, announced the dif­ferent events.

The first was the Declam ation Contest between the high schools. P lain D eal­ing H igh School was represented by Annie Lou Sentell and Madge W yche for the g irls and by B lanchard Powell and R upert Bolinger for the boys. B en ­ton H igh School on behalf of the girls was represented by R uth Sm ith and Rubye M ontgomery. Your correspond­en t was unable to secure the names of the boys representing the Benton school and the representation of Bossier City H igh School, which school won first honors.

The L adies’ D epartm ent is excellent and is well worth a visit.

The school exhibit is large and fine.In the Chorus Contest P lain D ealing

won.In the agricultural exhibits there is

the finest exhibit of corn ever shown here, also peanuts and sweet potatoes. The corn exhibits are a shew within themselves. One exhibit of the Key W est sweet potato attracted considerable atten tion—sixteen potatoes w eighing 95 pounds.

Y esterday being School C hildren’9 D ay they were there in num bers. The P lain D ealing pupils were formed in line by their teachers on Palm etto A ve­nue, m arching to the grounds followed by the Boy Scouts in their new uniforms, m aking a creditable showing. If you, gentle reader, had been here and listened to the school yells of the different schools you would have appreciated that quietness of the day after. I t was a grand sight, however, to look in the faces of th a t happy band of children in th is the ir annual march to the fair grounds, and one th a t will long be remembered.

The contests, races, etc., by the Boy Scouts were good.

W ith one exception (M r. Connell of W ard One) every member of the School Board was a visitor here yesterday, and their presence was most welcome. They could see for themselves in the various school exhibits w hat th e ir wards had accomplished.

There are only three cattle exhibited th is year a t the fair, but they are the finest ever exhibited here—S horthorns— and are well worth going miles to see.

The poultry exhibits are few in-number but make up in quality . Some W hite Leghorns are exhibited by the Palm er Company (who also exhibited the cattle) th a t are as good as can be found in any exhibition hall.

In the swine exhibits the principal breeds are represented, and they are fine.

P e o p le of S m a ll MeansA re as welcome to participate in the benefits conferred by this bank as are men of wealth. L e t’s get acquainted during 1916.

Those who desire to open a modest checking account, invest money, or em ­bark in a business enterprise, are invited to confer

. with the officers of this bank.

L ast F riday afternoon a t 3:30 o’clock many of the parents, with the teachers, met a t the Bossier City High School for the purpose of organizing a P aren t- Teachers’ Association.

Mrs. L. C. Bulkley and Miss Lavinia E gan of Shreveport were invited to be present for the purpose of organizing. Both of these ladies have for several years been in th is work, and each gave splendid talks on the use of such organ­izations to a community, as well as for schools.

Officers were elected from the th irty - six ladies attending. P resident, Mrs. B. J . Coffee; F irs t V icepresident, Mrs. R. C. N elson; Second Vicepresident, Mis3 A. O. N orris; Secretary, Miss Lyde McCrar.ie ; T reasurer, Miss Mabel Blake- more.

There are ten teachers in Bossier City H igh School. Miss W em pleof Shreve­port now has a class in expression. This is proving quite an advantage to the many pupils who desire so take exprès sion.

Mr. W . M. McCall, director, was an interested attendan t a t the meeting.

A committee was appointed to draft a constitution, which will be read a t the next meeting, to be held next F riday afternoon a t 3:30 o’clock, when plans will be form ulated for work, which it is anticipated will be in the line of civic improvements. xx.

A ll together for th a t new brick school building so badly needed here.

Mrs. M auldin, who resided here a few years ago, is now occupying the resi­dence recently vacated by Mr. W . P . A llen.

Three new brick buildings are to be erected here as scon as the work can be done. Most of the m aterial is now on the ground.

Mr. J . C. Bolinger, now located a t S ilas, A la., has been here on a visit (incidentally taking in the fair) for the past week. His many friends here were glad to welcome him.

Miss Addie Love, who resides near H ughes’ Spur, and Mr. Leonard Dunn were m arried here yesterday afternoon by Justice R . H . A llen. They received happy congratulations of th e ir num er­ous friends.

A fine rain began to fall here a t about e igh t o’clock yesterday evening, falling gen tly nearly all n igh t, and is now ra in ­ing . I t was badly needed and is g reatly appreciated by man and beast. W ater for stock had become very scarce.

The first month of P lain D ealing High School closed Septem ber 29th with an enrollm ent of 110 boys and 136 girls. The average attendance of the boys was 100.4 and of the g irls 129.1. Thus there was 93.3 per cent of the enrolled present the first m onth.

Business has been extrem ely good here th is fall. The m erchants have done a good business. H aving paid good prices for cotton and seed they deserve th e ir good fortune. P la in D ealing is fast coming to the front. The m erchants have paid better than Shreveport prices for cotton and have a ttrac ted the staple from quite a distance. A cotton com­press is needed and w ithout doubt one will soon be erected here.
