Rumor and civic notes mix in Shreveport column
The Progress prints a blend of opinion on critics, local personalities, and public life. It defends shop girls, touches on Abbott trials, praises sheriff actions, and satirizes politics. It also covers Shreveport baseball hopes, the 1898 high school graduating class, society notices, a league meeting, a Genevieve orphanage picnic, and Lake Street car rates.
