Lost Family.

We are In receipt of letter
from a lady in Syracuse, New
York, asking us to locate hel
people.
Her fathers name was John
Burt and lived in Winn parish
far enough from Winfield to
take him all day to go town and
back. He had brother who was
a doctor and lived nearer VIM
field than he did. In 1865 John
Burt was drafted into the army
and taken to Natchez. Shortly
afterward his wife, leaving a
maiden sister of John Burt in
charge, followed her husband to
Baton Rouge, taking with her 5
children. one of whom is the lady
In Syracuse. There they all died
of small pox and cholera except
this lady and her sister Sarah
Burt. The two little girls were
separated in Baton Rouge, one
being left aud the other (the lady
in N York; adopted by a family
and taken north where she has
since lived. She says that her
sister, in company with some
other children, John, James and
Ann Bridgeman or Bridget or
Bridges or something of the KIND,
started back to VIM parish
where the two families had lived
neighbors prior to being drafted
into service.
There ought to be some one in
the range of The Sentinel who
can tell this lady of the wherea-
bouts of her sister or what be-
came of her. IF so write to Mrs.
Monroe Cromwell, 3O1 Corner.
Apple and Sacket streets, SYRIA
cnse, New York, or come and
tell US about it.

The Tele&raphers.

The railroad teIegaphers of til,
a. s., Z. 4. s. n. and l.. 6 A.
havesfor the last two months beer
trying to get together for the
purpose of organizing a Local
Division in order to get together
and enjoy the pleasure of a jolly
time as well as to work to the
advantage of the fraternity in
general. Their efforts were
successful Saturday night, March
4, when the following members
were present:
j. S. Norman. agent at
Randolph; III. w. Anderson,
agent at Bernice; w. A. Baird,
operator ia Ruston; w. E. Barker,
operator at Ruston; j. S. Pool,
agent ut Quitman; L. E. Andrews,
agent at Dodson; G. E. Berry,
operator at Ruston; II. II. Moore,
agent L. & A. at WINFIELD; w. P.
Tatum, agent A. s. at Winnfield;
w. P. Horton, operator A. S. at
Winfield.
w. P. Tatum was elected chief
telegrapher; Mr.. Graham, of
Coushatta, first vice chief; w. A.
Baird, of Ruston, second vice
chief; G. E. Berry, of Ruston,
secretary and treasurer.
There were many other matters
to be attended to but On account
of a delay in the L. r. & n. train
many of the members were unable
to get here and this was postpon-
ed.
The thing now most desired is a
hall. The members are under
many obligations to the w. O. w.
for their kindness IN allowing the
use of their hall and should the
time ever present itself the
Telegraphers will return the favor
many fold.

Proper Treatment Of Pneumonia

=
Pneumonia is too dangerous
disease for anyone to attempt to
doctor himself, although he may
have the proper remedies at hand.
A ply shoucals alwnisi day be
called. 1t should be borne in
mind, however, that pneumonia
always results from a cold or
from an attack Of the grip. and
that be giving Chasnberlain's
Cough Remedy thu threatened
attack of pneumonia may be
warded off. This remedy is also
used by physicians in the treat
ment Of pneumonia with tie best
results. DR.. w. ]. Smith. Of

All Shoulders to the Wheel.

The rapid growth of our town
and very bright prospect for a
further continuation, does not
seem to appeal or be realized by
some of our people. This in
crease in our population has
been q steady and gradual one,
and I might say, has crept up on
us almost unaware, hence we find
some of our substantial citizens
opposing some essential sanitary
regulation for the future welfare
of our town, simply because they.
overlook the fact that Winfield
of to-day is no longer the WinE-
field of few years ago. We find
ourselves with population of
some 1000 or more, more or less
grouped together, with a steady
and gradual increase and the
prospect of adding some 500 to
1000 more people during the
present year. Our town is
financially unable to employ q
sanitary officer, we have no board
of health, we are unable to put
in waterworks and sewerage this
year, although we will have
electric lights during 1905. But
sewerage we cannot have before
next year. Therefore something
must be done in a sanitary way,
and done at once, as, summer is
nearly upon us and we must
necessarily all act quickly. We
find gradual increase of Typhoid
fever in our midst which by right
does not belong here in a pine
woods country. Other continued
fevers are on the increase, and q
futher prospect of a rapid increase
people will shun rather than seek
homes in Winfield. In fact peo-
| pie will have to move away in
stead of coming here, Surely /
cannot imagine anyone desiring
such things come to pass yet
those who are inclined, to oppose
and defy two sanitary ordinances
passed by our Mayor and Council
are, / believe, lnconsciously en-
couraging these very things and
it is more particularly to them
that I appeal to give our town
officials . helping hand to enforce
the garbage and closet ordinance.
If those two ordinances are en-.
forced, and for this purpose we
must have the assistance and CO.
Operation of every good citizen
We will eradicate Typhoid fever
and the other continued fever1
will be greatly diminished. an6
we can then offer home seeker.
Ian attractive and healthy town.

The Farmers Meeting.

Rev. L. n. Holmes delivered o
lecture as scheduled at the court
house last Friday night. Only .
small crowd was present to hear
him, but all seemed totake q deep
interest and appreciate the effort
he was making in behalf Of tie
farmer. His lecture was brim
full of good, sound reason and
his illustrations were to the
point.
Rev. Holmes explained that
the organization of th Farmers
Educational Union was not for
the purpose of antagonizing other
unions or interests of any kind
whatever but to the contrary was
for the sole purpose of joining
hands with every order or CO
operation that stands for the up
pudding of the country or for the
betterment of the people.
In course of the lecture he
explained the origin of this
organization. It was first started
ct Minneola, Texas. and by ter
men who put up one Thousand
dollars for the purpose of securing
and recording the charter. Since
that time the order has spread
| like wild FIRE untilit has complet
| ely swept the state Of Texas ant
is now forging It's way over the en-
tire South.
He mentioned tho feet that al
professions, except farming. ha'
their organization and pointed "a

A Good Illustration.

In looking over the large number of
souvenirs which Mr. B. M. Renick
brought home from his trip through
the West. We find that every town
included in the itinerary of the asso-
citation there is an attractive souvenir
of the town setting forth it's advan-
tages and resources. The souvenirs
are gotten out by the towns, paid for
by popular subscription, yet the West
is in it's infancy and is struggling for
a foothold.
The city railway of Oklahoma City
gave a book containing ten tickets,
each one good for a ride on any of
their cars, to the millers free. Okla
homa City is only sixteen years old,
yet it has 20 miles of up-to-date street
car service, population of $4,000,
10 public schools, private schools,
III teachers, Is miles of paved streets,
Is miles of brick and stone sidewalk,
banks with deposits of over $3,OO0,-
600, railroads, 4 trunk lines, IS
factories, 40 wholesale houses, %
churches and a $50, O48 fire depart
ment. The last fiscal year shows $751;
OO6 postofice receipts, with an assess
ed valuation of 81, 800, 900, and yet it
is only 16 years old.
Here is a lesson in enterprise.
What is the first thing that comes to
your mind after reading this? 1t is a
good town. 1t pays to advertise.
Paris is over 100 years old; look at
the difference.
During the Knight Templar con-
clave at Richmond this spring, over
10, 900 strangers visited the city, and
yet there was not a single souvenir
issued, not even a 2x4 inch card given
out by the merchants or the city to
tell them about the town they have
visited, except the history of Rich
mond and Madison county issued by
one of the papers. The merchants
had no knowledge of this book COM
ing out during the conclave.
Let our progressive citizen profit by
this illustration and do all in
their power to help us make
our History of Paris and Bourbon
county monument to thrift and in
dustry of Paris and her people, Re-
member we have the Odd Fellows and
Knights Templars with us next year.

Capt. Thomas Funeral.


A large number of relatives and
friends attended the funeral services
of Capt J. M. Thomas, Saturday
morning, at $3.50. The services were
very simple, and in keeping with the
wishes of the departed. The services
were conducted by Rev. DR.. E. II.
Rutherford with short reading of the
scriptures and several hymns which
were favorites of Capt. Thomas dur
ing life. Quite large crowd was in
attendance from Ford, eight employees
of the deceased at that point, acting
as pail bearers. The remains we're
deposited in the Thomas mansoleum
in Paris cemetery.

A Trip Through The Wheat Fields.

Mr.. B. M. Renick, the>genial pro-
nrietor of the Paris Milling Company,
has returned from an extended trip
through the Middle West, under the
auspices of the Millers' National Fed
alton, which met at Kansas City,
June sth. The itinery included a
"trip through the wheat fields of
Kansas and Oklahoma. Mr.. Renick
informs us that the prospects so far
in this section are far the greatest
wheat crop in years, in fact, he says
that SO large are the crops, that
wheat has already begun to waiver tc-
wards a lower price and farmers are
selling their crops before the harvest
in order to get the present price,
which they think about to go lower.
1.-THE Jolly Millers," as they are
called, had special train out of
Kansas City. composed of seven
Pullman sleepers, two dining cars
and smoker.
After the tour of the wheat fields,
which extended over 100 miles of the
finest wheat country in the world, the
party went to Bliss, Oklahoma, where
the gala event of the trip was handed
out to them in the ''Royal Western
Style'' by the Miller Bros. on their
famous 1O1 ranch. This undoubtedly
is the largest ranch in the world. 1t
covers over 81, 900 acres of land leased
from the Indians. Here a Buffalo
dinner was served to all-gratis, after
which the day was given over to all
kind of Western amusements, which
was witnessed by over $4,000 people.
Mr.. Renick is very enthusiastic over
the reception given by the different
towns to the association. The rail-
road service, he says, was the finest
ever" the train being equipped with
a complete telephone service, making
it possible to talk to any one aboard
from any car.
Mr.. Renick brought home a num-
Der of handsome souvenirs of his trip,
in the way of booklets, menu cards
and pictures, which are intensely in
teresting.
Quite a number of the most promi-
nent millers of the State were on the
trip. The Kentucky headquarters at
the convention were at the Coates
House, where they impressed upon
their friends the fact that Strength
United is Stronger"
