The southern sentinel. (Winnfield, La.) 1883-1910, 1906-06-29
From West Carroll.
Floyd, La, June 20, 1906.
Southern Sentinel,
Winfield. La,


Mr.. Editor: Ihave chosen your
valued and ever welcome paper
as medium to communicate
with my many friends both old
and young in. the good old parish
of Winn. l am now living at
Floyd, the parish seat Of West
Carroll, and have to say that L
am we'll pleased with the country.
Our crops, both corn and cotton,
are all that could be desired rs to
condition, and the health of
myself and wife is excellent.
Father Time admonishes me now
and then that II am going the
way of all fiesh," and SO l have
concluded to let the friends of
bygone years, whom God has
been pleased to spare, know that
| am happily situated and am
enjoying the latter end of long
life measurably we'll. Our country
is rich and well adapted to all
crops grown in this latitude.
We will soon have a railroad
running through our parish from
north to south, opening up one
of the finest sections of Louisiana.
You have doubtless heard that
you cant find all the coons up
one tree. That is true, but find
a sufficient number up the West
Carroll tree to satisfy me. l can
make quite as much here in one
year as | made in Winn in two,
and l believe with more ease.
/ am no land agent, but, as all
my old friends know, just a plain
one-horse farmer, and would say
to the discontented in Winn if
you will work and not be seduced
to the streams for fish and to the
woods for deer, you cant help
making money here, fishing and
hunting are the chief causes of
short crops here. 1t is no trouble
to step over the fence and kill as
many squirrels in an hour as will
do small family three or four
days, if no other meat is eaten,
and If you are not a law-abiding
man you can fill your smokehouse
with deer, turkey, coon, rabbit
andi fish. This is fine stock
country, too. all kinds do we'll.
When our railroad is finished
this country will fill rapidly and
hope to again live a neighbor to
some who | knew in Winn. This
is not written, Mr.. Editor, to
produce discomfort, far from it.
But, if like me, you feel the lines
growing DINNER and the rows
longer and the roots tougher and
the hills sleeper As the years go
by and no prospect of getting
better, then / say come to West
Carroll. Good soil, good water
and to most people good health,
and comfort to him who seeks it.
Yours truly
WILLIAM FL. Afford.
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 yol eat and
gives that tired stomach a needed
rest. but is a corrective of the
greatest efficiency. Kodo
| relieves Indigestion, dyspepsia
palpitation of the heart, flatu.
iencc, and sour stomach. KodoI
will make your stomach young
and healthy again. You vii
worry just In the proportion thai
your stomach worries you. Wor
lry 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
