forty acres OF poor land and a
poor house on it. They live
there by themselves. You could
not separate them TO send the
man to soldiers home If you
did what would BECOME oil the
wifei They can not receive a
pension because they own a little
property, which has become a
burden to them in the way of
taxes, instead of being able to
utilize it toward support. 1t is
home to them. We think that
they ought be permitted to re-
main together on the old home
stead and be provided with
means to pass their remaining
years in comfort.
We would suggest that the
different parishes direct the as
SCISSORS to take census of the
veterans. showing their age. regi-
ment and company in which they
served; if married. the age of
their wife, the value of their prop
erty and then to exempt them
from parish taxation and give
each a pension say of FIVE dollars
per month provided the wife had
been married prior to May, 1866
We feel then that the state would
supplement that amount with an
appropriation of like amount.
There would have to be some law
passed authorizing the above
course and therefore call atten-
ton of our Legislators TO the sug-
gestion.

FRIDAY, NAY IS, 1906.
TO OUR PATRONS.

On January II. 1906, when the
present editor took charge of the
Southern Sentinel. he promised
to give to the patrons read
able and newsy paper, devoted to
the best interests of the parish of
Winn and the town of WINFIELD. :"
We also said to do that it was
necessary to have the cooper
alton and assistance of the
patrons. How well We have car
ried out our promise we will leave
to you to decide, and how much
cooperation and assistance each
patron has rendered will also
have to be left with each one in
dividually. We have been here
now four months and have not
made a systematic canvass or
sent out any collectors. The
amount which each individual
owes is 50 small that any man
can pay it, while the aggregate
amount due would materially as
sist the editor in giving you a
better paper.
Tuesday of this week we mailed
statements to each subscriber
who is behind SO that every one
will know exactly what their bill
is, and we hope each one will
promptly remit the small amount
The total amount will not only
square our books, but will enable
us to make some contemplated
improvements in the paper.
We hope to hear from every
one to whom we have sent .
statement, and. that within the
next few days.

COTTON WAREHOUSES;.

The movement to build stan
dard cotton warehouses among
the Cotton Growers Associ-
alton and the Farmers Union
throughout the cotton growing
belt is assuming considerable
proportions now. and it would be
well for the business men and
property holders of WINFIELD to
move in the matter SO is to bring
all of the availible cotton to this
city. We feel satisfied that
should a standard fire proof ware
house be built here there would
be no trouble in bringing to this
town more than three thousand
bales of cottor in addition to
what naturally comes here
Winnheld has in the past been
cut off from the trade from east
of the Dugdemonia.- on account
of the almost impossible con-
dition of both Dugdemonia and
Port De Luce swamp. hence
none of the cotton was brought
to WINFIELD.
Now that we have across Dug
demonia at the crooked crossing
one of the best bridges ever built
of wood, which runs from one
hill to the other, and when the
road is Strengthened to that bridge
from WINFIELD, and the Port de
Luce swamp and creek be made
passable at any time of the. year;
and when the road-at the Gorham
crossing is bridged and the dump
graveled, there is no reason why
all of the cotton east of Dugde-
monia should not come here.
If the farmers could be assured
that they could bring their cotton
to Winfield and store it in FIRE
proof warehouse whose receipts
would be accepted by az, Of the
banks as collateral for loan.
and that loan be at a low fate of
interest, there is no doubt but
that we would soon become an
important cotton point, which
would finally necessitate the
building of a compress. If Winn-
field does not build these neces-
tiles some of the other towns will

While some of the war veterans who
were guests Of the Twelfth Regiment
of New York city were exchanging rem
iniscences at the table, one of them,
who sat within earshot of General
Siclles told this story:
when reaching the Army of the POI
tomac as recruit for the New
York Regiment, just before the Chan
cellorsville campaign, l soon heard of
man in my company whose notoriety
for cowardice had made him the SUBJ
ject of many jests during his short
service in the camp. Plenty of men are
bitten by fear upon going into action
but this fellow had the rare reputation
of being an incurable poltroon, and the
mere crack of a rife had often thrown
him into fits so violent that two of his
comrades had to leave the ranks to
keep him in order.
lie was with the regiment at Chan
cellOrSville on the night when we be-
gan to exchange shots with the enemy
in that quarter and he tremhled so VIZ
oIently that he could not handle his
rifle. A small rebel cannon that had
been pulled on to knoll some distance
off, and that was playing an independ~
ent game apart from the Confederate
forces, threw a ball that struck the
ground in front of him and scared him
out of his wits. He became blind With
fright. and not knowing where to fly,
ran directly toward the hostile gun,
which was manned by two old Virginia
militamen in gray, who had under
taken to render their State some serv-
ice The two Virginians behind the
ridge suddenly saw the Infatuated 1Ank
rushing upon them, and believing him
to be followed by his regiment, took
to flight leaving their cannon behind
Them The poltroon stood aghast for
Il moment alongside the piece of artii-
lery which he had captured, and almost
simultaneously our regiment by rapid
advance and a few shots drove back
the company of rebels that had been
lurking in front, and we held the
ground for the time being.
But the wonderful deed of our com
Jade who seized the enemy's gun had
been witnessed by the mounted general
of our brigade, who happened to be a
relative of his, and within forty eight
hours the fellow who had been the
laughing stock of the regiment was
promoted for CALAMITY in the field. His
subsequent rise was rapid, and when
tell you he afterward fell wounded mt

Best Not to Sell EARLY.

For years farmers have been grow
ing sheep in small way, and general
ly have sold their lambs when they
weigh 60 to 20 pounds for from 81 to
$3.50 each. Even at these prices one
makes a nice profit out of his sheep
1t has cost little to grow them and sc
he is we'll paid, but it is possible to dc
better. For several years Western
lambs weighing from so to 60 pounds
have sold at from 81 to $3.50, and after
being fed sixty or ninety days
or up to 80 to 90 pounds, they
sell for almost twice as much. AS Il
rule the farmers who sell the young
lambs have feed enough to finish them
and get the additional price. Although
this extra feed had to be bought at
market prices there would be no loss
for feeders are buying both sheep and
feed and making profit. More profit
is made from farm products when ami
mails are properly finished, and Lambs
are In this class.

ME Fall Flowing.

The question of fall blowing is de-
batable one in the minds of most farm
ers. The practice seems to grow more
common upon trial in some neighbor-
hoods and to fall into almost total dis
favor in other sections Upon the roll
ing lands which are so common there
is little question that it is justly con
demned, if, indeed, it is good practice
anywhere, says an exchange. Some loss
OF plant food from washing and blow
ing of the surface soil upon fall-plowed
ground is inevitable, although it's me-
chanical condition may be improved
somewhat by the action of the frost
upon the freshly plowed ground. OF
course, the condition of the labor mar
ket affects the amount of fall blowing
undertaken or accomplished to very
considerable degree, but independently
of any and all Of the factors mention
ed, fall blowing may be eXpedient N
some cases. The writer has done very
little fall blowing during recent years
but this year the pillow will be kept go
ing as long as the weather will permit
after the crops are all secured.
