Fire TitHrsdsy.

Last Thursday evening about
foar o'clock fire broke out il the
ery kin Of the Winfield Lumber

HICKORY VALLEY.
Opening for a Good Teacher at

Special to The Sentinel.
Hickory Valley, April 27.-l
thought a few lines from this
part Of the country would not be
out of place. Health of the
country is good generally. Far
mers are taking the blues over
the early drouth, but very little
cotton up yet, some land unbroke
and it is impossible to break il
until we have rain. Corn is being
killed by the drill worms.
This school . district (Boles)
has about 5000 public funds fol
this years school and as our pres
ent teacher will not teach this
summer We want a good teacher
to teach a two-months school this
summer and then commence in
October and teach an eight-month
term. Any good teacher will do
we'll to see after this district.

WORK Has STARTED.
Tire Dalton-cEark Stave Conn
pany VIII Put In A Large
Fact - 3nce.

Everything in the southern
portion of Wiuntield is in stir
from "early morn to dewey eve,
as the poet would say. Along the
line Of the L. 6 A. railroad all is
hustle and hustle and everybody
interested down there seem bent
on keeping ahead of everybody
else.s The fact is, when the mu-
sic Of the saw and hamer buzzes
into a fellows ear he begins to
want to do around.
The latest enterprise for that
section of the country is the Dali
ton-Clark Stave Company's big
fa Dry. Some of the timbers
f6 the building have been on the
ground for some tima, but moth
ing has been done owing to the
bad weather. Good weather,
however, has been with us sever
al weeks now and work on the
factory was started first of the
week. A large well is being put
down, water being the first object
in the operation of steam plants
of any kind; a tool house has
been erected and everything is
being made ready for force of
men who viii erect a building.
This actory means much to
Winfield. 1t will give employ
ment to many men and will bring
lots of money into the town. It
will create good local market
for stave timber of every de-
scription and result in much
good to the surrounding country.
Please score one more for

UNCLE BOB WRITES.

Editor The Southern Sentinel.
A couple of letters appeared
recently in the Dodson Times

which he showered down upon
me his Shiny Indignation. He,
or the editor, got me so low that
| hardly know whether / am a
thief or an outcast from justice.
Right here. too. in country
where l have been known for
twenty years.
cannot conceive for my life
why they should try to bury me
alive unless it was for saying l
got tight on Hops, and why the
editor upholds the sale of hops l
cannot conceive. 1t seems they
want my debts paid and would
have the people believe that / do
not pay my debts. in word, they
want to SANDER me, and why /
cannot imagine. But / can look
over it to great extent, as they
have the swellhead. 1t wont add
a single new subscriber to the
Times but 1t is liable to take some
off.
l wrote my first letter after /
acted so badly at Dodson as an
apology, as | felt SO mean about
it, and l wanted to ask the good
people of Dodson to forgive me.
/ thought Joe Payne and his
brother Rastus would forgive me,
but it seems they are not in line
with the good people, andI recon
they will have to have their say.

GAIL. HAS BEEN ISSUED.
Sixty Local Business Men Signed
A Call For A Mass Meeting
Saturday Evening.

Winfield has long needed 6
progressive or business league OF
some kind and some effort has
been put forth to orginize one
before now, but without much
success. But it is proposed to
organize one now, and one that
will do something. A call has
been issued for a meeting Satur-
day evening at which will. be or
ganized a league that will have for
its object the upbuilding of the
town. The call reads as follows:
sWinnfield, La, Apr. 26, 1908.
.'The undersigned citizens most
earnestly urge-a meeting of all
the progressive citizens of Winn-
field at The Court House on Sat

the purpose of organizing Pro-
gressive League, having for its

Winfield and Winn parish.
The call is signed by sixty of
our leading business and profess
sional men, all of whom mean
business. The league will be or
ganized and will go to work at

PROF. {. 7. GIILDEanBR.A.HD
And Pro-. c J. Gilbert, Both No
ted Nocalists ard Instructors.
VIII Conduct the School.

| Winfield has scored another
victory by getting q session Of
Profs. +. j. HiIderbrand and G..
j. Gilbert's normal music school
here for the early summer. These
schools are sought by larger and
more pretentiUus cities which
have learned the value of such
institutions. But Winfield has
been fortunate IN securing the
session planned for this section of
the State.
Prof. G. J. Gilbert, than whom
there is no more able instructor
in the vocal art in the State, is
well acquainted with this section
of the country and being engaged
with Prof. Hilderbrand for this
series of normals, decided to
place one here. All the neces-
sary arrangements have been
made and Prof. Hilderbrand is
now engaged in preparing the
advertising matter which will be
distributed not only throughout
this State, but throughout adj
joining States. The advertising
matter, while advertising the
school, will advertise the town
and its surroundings. The mat
ter will be distributed broadcast
and will no doubt bring many
people to the school.
The session will begin some
time in June it is thought, but
the date rests with Prof. Hilder-
brand and he will arrange it to
correspond with other engage
ments. The gentlemen will try
TO 1nlSll the session Dy the time
the Baptist State Convention
meets here In July and they have
agreed that one of them will con-

A number of our people are
waking up and pulling for the
town like we all ought to, and
they are doing good. Every con-
yention, school, or industrial en-
terprise helps the town and we
are glad to have this school. 1t
adds another link to the towns
reputation.

the cool nights. Very little cot

I'm an article which appeared in
the Sentinel some time ago [
said that / had been reliably in
formed that certain members of
the police jury had been bought
to vote for the tax reduction.
On further investigation | find
that the report was started by
some parties for purposes best
known to themselves. | have
reached the conclusion that there
is nothing in the report. Mr..
Wasson, police member from
ward four. in an article recently
published, says that he did not
vote on the reduction either way.
| think it was his duty to vote on
such questions if he were present.
He said the police jury had con-
siderable discussion on the SUBJ
ject. / should think three days
considerable time to waste on
such a matter. That was sufi-
cient time to have sent a commit
tee to inspect the land on which
reduction was made and then
all. the members would have been
satisfied. As for my own person
al knowledge in regard to the sell
ing out | know nothing and only
wrote the matter as rumor. j
would like to hear from other
members OF the honorable body
on this line.

gard to the last portion of his gr-

Bank Situation.

y George A. silsby, national banksex-
aminer, has just compiled q state
ment of the condition of the national
banks in South Dakota and compared,
1t with the situation four years ago,
and the showing even exceeds his
expectations. Silsby said he was pre-
pared to find a heavy increase, but
not to the extent his report showed.
I'm January,a1s 800, there were TWEEN
ty-tive NATIONAL banks in South Da-
kota, while now there are now fifty
seven. The comparative; statement
given herewith shows the totals of the
smaller number for 1899, and Of the,
full number for 1908. But when you
realize that last year our crops were
seriously impaired by frosts. every
month except July, which materially
reduced the volume Of deposits and
compelled many, who usually had bal
ances with the banks to borrow mon-
ey to tide them over you would hard
ly expect that deposits should show a,
gain over 1899 of more than 100 per
cent, andayet that is exactly what has
occurred. The twenty-five, banks alone
made a gain of 63 per. cent. - f.
"a careful perusal of the compar-
ative statement will evidence that
prosperity has come to the banks al
well ssas to the people who ~patronize
them, and the showing is just cause
for generalization all along the line.
