NOT ACCEPT ASSESSMENT.
Assessor, Taxpayers, and Board OF Eu,alizers All
Disagree on Land Valuations==Assessor
Stands Pat For Ten Dollars

The board of equaIizers, con
>lstIng OF the members OF the
police jury. has finally finished
It's laborS and adjourned. There
were several protests to settle.
but a satisfactory agreement all
round was not reached.
The protests were in the eases
where timbered lands figured to i
considerable extent. The Assess
or valued these lands at ten dol
lars per acre and the owners dill
not agree to this, consequently
the board of equalizers was con-
fronted with the matter of ad-
justing the differences. The As
SCISSOR argued that these lands
were worth ten dollars per acre,
while the owners contended that
some of the property valued as
first class was only second class
and was entitled to an assessed
valuation in accordance Herewith.
The equalizers were. inclined to
compromise the matter and pro-
ceeded to place it in the class to
which 1t belonged.
The conclusions reached by the
board were accepted by the land
owners, but it is understood that
III some cases the assessor did not
acquisce and will stand pat on his
first valuation and make out
his rolls accordingly. The vaIu-
atioas by the board range from
$3.50 to S7.75 per acre, none as
high as $40, and the sssesso
contends that some land Il
the parish is worth the latter
figure. At any rate he will assess
il at that and risk the action hold

That Is What They Say About
The Sentinel.

For over five years the presen,

travel. the people looking on the
efforts at a good paper in Winn
parish as a decided waste of
energy. time and money and hold
ing aloof in a number of instances
from the project and not giving it
the benefit of their good will and
patronage.
But we have been here now
nearly six years and havel labored
to bring The Sentinel up to be re-
spected as a public institution and
a permanent fixture in the affairs
and enterprises of the parish.
People of the parish are now ac-
cording the paper a liberal
portion of their good will and
patronage. Our list of subscribers
is growing and now contains more
names than ever before and we
believe the paper is appreciated.
At times in the past we have taken
stands on questions which did not
agree to the notions of some and
some of them were inclined TO
"set upon the paper for taking
such stand. Now our patrons
allow us the privilege of free
thought and the expression of
opinion as we have always given
to our patrons, and everything is
moving along nicely between
the paper and its friends. And
new friends are being found every
week.
The Sentinel has labored for
the upbuiIding of the parish and
its labor is bearing fruit. The
Sentinel is better patronized, bet
ter understood and appreciated.
All our friends tell us that we
give them more home news freer
from editorial prejudice and
comment than any other weekly
paper and that is one thing they
appreciate.
Our readers will pardon US for
this article. but news this week is
scarce and we wanted to say a.

before he began striking duplicates.
Some days he would find two or three!
and then it would be months before.he
would see another stray pasteboard!
But he was always watching for op-
portunities to add to his strange col
lection.
short of a complete deck. In the next
three years he considered himself lucky
in finding all but four. The missing
ones were the jack Of Clubs, tho deuce
and eight Of diamonds and the trey Of
spades. In the course Of another year
he picked up the eight OF diamonds
and six months later was overtoyed I'd
find what he at first thought wax a tut
deck Of cards lying on the sidewalk or
Broadway, nea Fortysecond straet!
The jack of clubs and the trey Of
spades were there all right, but I'VE or
six cards were missing, and amoog
these was the deuce of diamonds. /,
1t seemed as If he never would be
able to obtain his h~fty-second card, but
the other day he entered one Of the
suburban trains on the Jersey Central
railroad, and almost the first thing be
saw was the deuce Of diamonds face
upward in the aisle, says the New

glossy backed, the finest Of them all.
He had been searching for this iden-
teal card for five and a half years and
now breathed a sigh Of relief.
