The Progress. amuvweor, LA.. - JANUARY 30. 1807 CRGED WINDERERS. It is Miss Bernie Booher, not Miss Bernice Barber, who is in the money order department of the postofice. She is, however, the same eflicient clerk that The Prog ress said Miss Barber was. T ickets for the Epworth League entertainment are on sale at all the fdrug stores. :Come off the perch! This ap q Le to all who are on. Tuesday and Wednesday-Hur Sak for Christmas, mardi-gras and SBI 4th of July. ~ Five houses were burned on Mar ahall street Monday night. A -tough time for such an occurrence. ' Well, yes; we have a weakness pr Shreveport and her interests. Weoh the immigration movement ;it i a mighty good thing.

Everett, the able and genial editor of the Ruston Leader, was in Shreveport Saturday and came around and gave us a social chat. t Hurrah for Shreveport! Now, how do you like that? e Our capitalists are still figuring e on that cotton mill for Shreveport. Just a few more efforts in getting factories here, and Shreveport's e destiny will be assured sure e enough. No fooling now any longer; fix up upper 204 and 206 Milam and 214, 216 and 218 Texas streest. The appearance of these buildings is really a detraction to the business enterprise of Shreveport. Capt. Billie and his grey coats pulled a lot of cotton thieves last week who had been making preda tory raids on box cars at the T. & P. depot. The merry ring of girlish laugh ter was heard in our city Tuesday, as pleasure rides were taken on improvised sleighs. The man who is not charmed by a girl's or woman's laugh ought to be hung. 'E There is to be a kicking, a gen eral kicking at The Progress office. But at the suggestion of the com mission merchant, this entertain ment will be put off till after the first. Shreveport's business men are hustlers, and are always to the front, in matters of general enter prise. The Progress had the pleasure of a handshake with Mr. Stephen F.

He braced himsell for the onset. It "sho did come". A gigantic staggle ensued. After the fist bea'ha sad look perchedon his mug. He now realized that his bite was too big. Hfs knowl edge came too late. Strong hands reached ,for the seat of his pants. They got a firm hold. Their mus cles quivered. The toes of his left footeought the back cranium.- Te] right was more ambitious. They aimed for the skies. The body was lowly inclined. It sought the cold snow's embrace. It pulled the oth ers to it's plane. There was scat tering of cold cold snow. There followed then a busy scene of *** t"'!-l---ll*ll! -!!!I! 1i111!
