A SONG OF SENATOR'S

Sing a song of senators,
Pocket full OF cash;
Twenty-one little men
Driven by the lash.
When the session opened
The jays began to sing:
John Edward Addicks,
Our sovereign leige and king"
Frank was in the lobby
Counting out his money,
Sim was sitting at his desk
Looking sweet as honey;
Gals was in the State House
Scooping in his fees;
Long comes the Governor
A'quaking in the knees.

rarely marked with any salutatlon. We

Jeffersoniano possibly because that
sounds well, and possibly, too, because
Jefferson is a name used by all POpo-

as to the object it had in view in being
born may be satisfied by reading its
leading editorial giving its excuse for
existence
IL means to uphold the principles
lenunciated by Jefferson and expUunded
by Altgeld and Bryan We would re-
joice in something a little more ex-
plicit, because we don't happen to re-
call a single Jeffersonian idea that is
held by Bryan or that was held by Alt
geld. But, perhaps, this may be made
clear In the course of human events. 1t

that all men are created free and

to charge a Divine agency with such
nonsense requires nerve. oven Jeffer-
son didn't dare go 50 far, but in the
DcelaratiOn contented himself with
saying "all men are created oQuai," and
even this he didn't regard as true with
out a qualifying clause.
The Jeffersonian says It is going to
be "as a father" TO labor, and declares
'thelr fights will be our fights" In
other words. the Jeffersonlam will
champion, labor right or wrong. Bui

BIG OIL DEAL.
Twenty Thousand Shares Charge
Hands at Advanced Figure.

Last Friday and Saturday were
good days for handlers of the
stock of the Winfield Oil Com
pany, twenty thousand shares of
the stock changing bands in two
deals. A pool has been formed
of several holders of the stock in
this company and the pool pur-
chased the interest of Mr.. j. d.
Pace, paying $4,000 for his hold
ings, this being s1,SOO above the
price at which Mr.. Pace secured
the stock. Another block of the
stock, twenty-five hundred shares,
was sold to parties at Monroe.
This shows what faith investors
have in the prospects here.
There is not much of the stock
for sale now and those who. have
no holding are anxious to get in,
making the stock advance in
price. 1t is advancing right along
as the drill in the well goes down
and it will soon be that no stock
can be had.

First Passenger Train Over tie
~. s. A. Well Patronized.

Regular through passenger
train service over the Louisiana
& Arkansas railroad from VIM
field to Hope, Ark, was insti-
tuted last Sunday. May 81, and
an excursion was run from both
ends of the line to Sibley where
the trains pass. 4 cheap rate
was given for that day and was
taken advantage of by 800 or 700
people. The trains left the start
ing points promptly on time and
made the thirty miles an hour
with no trouble, arriving at Sib
lev according to schedule where
the passengers stopped off for
dinner. The eating houses at
Sibley were taken on surprise
and could not feed half the
crowd. But the proprietor at
one of the hotels told the crowd
of excursionists, using his most
placid and winning smile, that
they could get dinner If they
would only be patient. Instead
of being patient the crowd made
a charge on the banana stand and
left it looking like it had been
hit "a solar plexus blow by Kan
sas cyclone. The large crowd
was good-natured and orderly all
the while and everybody seemed
to enjoy the day. There were
fifty excursion tickets sold at the
WINFIELD depot, which was sew
eral more than was anticipated.
The southern sentinel. (Winnfield, La.) 1883-1910, 1903-06-05

On ard after May..31, 1903, the
passenger rates charged by con-
ductors on the passenger trains
of this Company from stations
where ticket officers are main
tanned, will be one (1) cent per
mile higher than regular ticket
rates.
You will, therefore, not only
save the conductors much un-
necessary work and annoyance.
but yourself money by purchas-
ing tickets before getting aboard
trains.
Besides, this, the salary of the
agent at your place is largely
dependant on the amount of his
ticket sales, and if for no other
reason than to benefit him you
should always remember to buy
a ticket before getting on the
train. He often accommodates you
and you ought TO take that much
interest in his welfare.
