There is no use worrying along
in discomfort because of a dis
ordered digestion. Get a bottle
of Kodol for Dyspepsia. and see
what it will do for you. kodol
not only digests what yoa eat and
gives that tired stomach a needed
rest. but is corrective of the
greatest efficiency. X d o !
relieves Indigestion. dyspepsia,
palpitation of the heart, flatu-
lence, and sour stomach. kodol
will make your stomach young
and healthy again. You will
worry just IN the proportion that
your stomach worries you. Wor-
ry means the loss of ability to do
your best. Worry is to be avoid
ed at all times. Kodol will take
the worry out of your stomach.

wINNFIElDS MAIL FACILITIES.

Wlunneld has now a popula-
ton in the neighborhood OF three
thousand. 1t may be more. it
may be less. We have three mail
trains each day and two star
routes two and three times a
week. yet our mail comes in such
a manner as to make all CORE
spondence. except that coming in
on the Louisiana & Arkansas
train, twenty-four hours behind
time. especially the mail that
comes in on the Louisiana Rail-
way & Navigation Company's
road. That mail arrives at o:I5
p. M. and is not distributed, and
in many instances delivered to
the postof6ce. until the next day
by the carrier who takes out the
mail for the. same road, which
leaves WINFIELD at 6 a. m. If a
man at Campti should write to
WINFIELD he could not get an
answer to his letter until the eve-
aiag of the second day after his
letter is received in WINFIELD.
This is caused by the fact that
the department has not provided
a mail clerk on the branch of
that road from Aloha to VIM
field. And there is a necessity
of an additional clerk in the post
Office at WINFIELD. who should be
assigned to the duty of opening
and distributing the mails that
reach WINFIELD at night and re-
ceive and dispatch mail that is
placed in the office after the bu-
siness hours of the postoffice.
which we are officially informed
are from 7:3o a. m. to 6:3o p. m.
We saw a nImerously signed
petition to the postofficc depart
ment asking that there be a mail
clerk placed on the Louisiana
Railway and Navigation Railroad,
put the application was turned
down. We believe that the
service needs revising and that
IN inspector should be sent here
With the view Of improving the
'ervice IN many respects. The
Increase in the receipts Of the
oostoffice here warrant the /
:hanges herein suggested.

THE VALUE OF THE PROGRESSIVE lEA6UE

The progressive league OF a
town is the banding together OF
the business men and citizens OF
the town for the purpose of in
ducing business to come to the
town, and to do that it is neces-
sary to advertise the advantages
which the town presents to the
investor. There is consider
able work attached to the man.
agcment of we'll regulated pro-
gressive league. but the results to
be gained can hardly be COM
puted in money. Take the works
of the Winfield league and at
glance can be seen the great ben
efits to be gained and what the
town has already gained through
them. The Dalton-Clark Stave
Company. the Sulphur Timber
aud Lumber Company. and the
WINFIELD Iron Works are the
direct results of the action of the
Progressive League.
There are many industries that
could be brought here with the
proper inducements. But unless
we support and encourage the
gentlemen who We have selected
to manage the leagues business
we can not expect them to
accomplish much.
WINFIELD is now in its most
critical period. and every one
ought to put their shoulder to the
wheel and help her along. A
contract has recently been signed
for drilling at the oil fields
and we understand that a propo-
sition is on foot to build a rail-
road to the wells, where there
will be a hotel and bath rooms
built where a person can 90 and
get veriteble sea bath at home.
With the fremont & Gulf engi-
neering corps within 10 miles. oil
WINFIELD making permanent
location, and the Monroe &
Southeastern ready to locate
their permanent line, and the
Rock Island shops and division
anun settled proposition; the Lou
isiana & Arkansas railroad with
out round house from Stamps
to Tioga and the operating
department of the L. & A. rail-
road and a chance to get these;
the fremont Lumber Company
has in contemplation a large
saw mill plant to cut their hold
ings in this parish; the town OF
WINFIELD needing waterworks
worse than anything. All of
these things are possibilities for
the town of Winfield if the Pro-
gressive League is given the
proper support.

She has accomplished these
things by having one of the most
practical and progressive men in
the state in the person Of their
honorable mayor. DIR. A. A.
Forsyth. backed up by the con-
idence of the people. There
we're many doubling Thomases
in the beginning. but now when
ever Mayor Forsyth gives a prop
osition thought and endorses it
that settles it with a majority of
the people.
The citizenship of Monroe is
made up Of as progressive, hos
pitable and whole-souled people
as can be found in any city, as
can be testified to by the dele
gates to the different conventions
which have recently partaken of
that city's hospitality. first the
Press Association, second the
State chapter of the Daughters of
the Confederacy. third the Grand
Lode of the Knights of Pythias,
and last the reception of Right
Reverend Bishop Van de Ven,
Catholic Bishop of the diocese of
Natchitoches.
The business men of Monroe
are progressive and tLeir methods
are up-to-drte. They visited us
this week and met our business
men aud we hope III the near
future the Monroe & Southwes-
tern road will be completed so
that We can do business with
them. freight rates now being
against us. Monroe is the natural
trading center for all of this
section and has been for years
until the freight rate came inand
shut us out Of Monros.
Now, what McEroe has done
Winfield can do. Monroe is a
good object lesson TO pattern
after. We look for large profits
to accrue to WINFIELD from the
visit of these business men to our
town. Monroe has an up to- date
Progressive League hich never
lets anything 60 by them. We
could do the same if we could
have the same cooperation
among our people and proper as
sistance to our Progressive
League.

ruled that that figure was pro-
