Cooking Stoves - $10 each - the newest place to buy a stove, at "The Fair" Shreveport Work is progressing on our new jail and we will soon have a nice coop for our jailbirds. Mr. E. Meserola and wife have moved into the house adjoining the residence of Mr. W.B. Simpson. Among the high personages who appeared today upon the scene, and was cordially welcomed by all alike, was His Majesty, King Sol. Sad Bereavement We regret to learn of the severe loss which our friends Mr. James G. and Mrs. Maggie McDade, of Ward 6, this parish, sustained on the 14th instant, in the death of their bright and beautiful little girl, DOLLIE SUE, aged 5 years, one month, and 27 days. The watching of "other babies" and this one gone! Such were our thoughts when we learned of the death of this dear little family pet. Little Dollie Sue lived just long enough to twine her tender baby fingers about mother's and father's hearts and grasp them firmly as none but an only child can, when the grim reaper, Death, claimed her. To the sorrowing parents we would say "you cannot call the child back, but you can go to it". Earth has lost it's richest treasure and charm to you, but Heaven holds it in safekeeping. May your hearts be there with the treasure". One mortal less on Earth, one angel more in Heaven. Hotel Arrivals: Union Hotel: Sunday, Apr 17 - M.D. Miles, Shreveport Monday, Apr 18 - N.A.
