wall of spring foliage. Fruit blossoms
and roses adorned the other spacious
rooms. There was no cotillion, but
in the first dance after supper a dis
tribution of floral favors, consisting of
roses, jonquils and lilies, to each guest
added a pretty and unusual feature to
the occasion. Mr. Robert Goelet, Jr.,

Found.

At meeting of the Board of
directors of the Winfield High
School held last Friday. Prof.
Geo. A. Payne, of Fort Worth.
Tex. was elected principal for
the coming session of the sci ool.
At a former meeting Prof Strick-
ler. of Chrystal Springs, Miss,

communicated with, either by

near Montgomery. He has made
teaching a profession, and was

ENTRANCE GRANTED.
The Valley Treated Well BY

A dispatch to the Shreveport
Times, from New Orleans, says:
The city council tonight grant
ed the Louisiana and Navigation
Company entrance into the city.
1t was given privilege to reach
the wharves over the proposed
belt tracks which the New Orleans
terminal Company is obliged to
build. The Louisiana company
Is the Red River Valley and pro-
vides that in case the terminal or
Frisco company did not build the
belt within a year the Red River
Valley Company should go ahead
and construct the track. The
Frisco fought this hard claiming
it had a vested right but the
objection was met by the argu-
ment that if the Frisco was
sincere and built the road no
conflict would result, and if it
failed in its obligations the Red
River Valley and the city would
be justified in going ahead with
tho work The ordinance was
unanimously adopted. Both the
Frisco and the Red River Valley
promised to build here without
delay and other railroads are
expected to seek entrance. the
city reserving the river track for
all corners intending to complete
them and provide impartial
management.

MANSHIP'S LECTURE.
Small but Appreciative Audi
ence Greeted the Humorist.

Luther Manship, one of the
foremost humorists of the south,
entertained a Winfield audience
last Friday night with a program
of humor, pathos and dialect.
He was here to supply a date
made by the lyceum bureau for
some time during last spring, but
the high waters all over the coun-
try during the spring knocked
the lecturers out. They could
not reach their appointments, at
least two dates going blank be-
cause the lecturer could not
reach us. The course was ar
ragned by Supt. Moss and Prof.
Dale and fconsisted of four at
fractions, all Of which have now
been given ami were appreciated
by those who attended.
The audience which greeted
Manship was small, but in be-
ginning his program the lecturer
called attention to the fact that
on one occasion when Plato, the
Greek philosopher, stepped on
the platform to deliver lecture
he was greeted by only one hearer.
and that one was his pupil, Aris-
totle, who became greater than
his teacher.
Manship kept his audience
smiling very broadly most of the
time during his lecture. which
made them feel better for having
attended.

A REVIVAL MEETING.
Rev. Griggs Holds Successful
One In mill Town. -

Rev. ]. NJ. Griggs, pastor of
the NJ. p. church at this place.
has just closed a successful revi-
val meeting in "mill town" which
is in the southern portion of
Winfield. The people of that
portion of town have been con-
Quoting open air services for over
a year now in bautiful grove
of pines aud Rev. Griggs has
been preaching for them. This
summer they decided to hold a
revival and after building an
harbor, the revival opened up in
dead earnest. Every service was
we'll attended and much spiritual
good was done.
There were ten accessions to
the church and if Rev. Griggs'
health had not failed him, the re-
vival would have continued a few
days longer, and it is probable
several others would have united
with the church. Those interest
ed in the revival say it was a
great victory and that satan got
severely set back. AS soon as
they can rest up little the re-
vival is going to be resumed and
satan will get another jar. Rev
Griggs is doing good work among
the attendants at this revival.
