FOR RURAL MAIL ROUTE
Petition Has Now Been Signed
and Forwarded.

Mr.. j. T. Porter, the efficient
police juror OF ward one, was in
town Wednesday, having come
to bring the petition of citizens
for rural mail route through
his section.
The proposed route runs out
the upper Winfield aud Alexan-
dria road as far as the Levi
Spikes place. thence on the
Atlanta and Harrisonburg road
to Sardis church, thence on the
Montgomery and Winfield road
back to Winfield. The petition
was signed by more than the
required one hundred and it has
been forwarded to Congressman
Watkins with a request to push
the matter of having the route
established.
The Sentinel is pleased at the
interest the. people are taking in
this modern convenience which
the department gives where 1t is
desired and asked for, and we
hope to soon see three or more
routes leading out from Winn-
field.

CARD OF THANKS

8 Few Words.

Editor Sentinel:
l wish to thank you for the
assistance and cooperation you

valuable columns i'm advocating
the new enterprises am so much
interested in, and l hope that
Winfield will reap great benefit
as result of these enterprises
and your liberal advocacy of
progress and modern improve
ment all along the line.
Of course, you know that /
believe in printers ink, and
know that there Is great power in
the press, and always appreciate
anything you do for me.
| desire to thank the city
council for granting me q
franchise to build and operate q
car line through the streets of
Winfield and to the oil field,
and l hope to build q road that
all Winfield will be proud of

Yours to serve,

Another Rural Route.

Mr.. j. D. Gentry paid our
Office an appreciated visit, leaving
orders for several papers to be
sent to relatives in Georgia and
Alabama, and incidentally paying
us a very high compliment BY
saying that his relatives could
learn more about this country by
reading The Sentinel than they
could from his letters. He also
took out with him q petition for
rural free delivery route No. 2,
going out on the lower Alexan-
dria road southeast to q point
nine or ten miles from Winfield,
thence north and east to the
Winfield and Georgetown road,
thence to Winfield via Packton
and Moore.

from the great city of New York
to the smallest town, have always
enhanced the value of property
in the town where they are loca-
ted. The artesian salt and sui
phur wells in the oil field will
draw thousands of visitors winter
and summer for its healing prop
critics in skin diseases. Hot
Springs has become a great
winter resort. Winfield can
easily become attractive. 1t,
however, will need the active
push of every property owner,
every merchant, and every on e
who claims Winfield as his home.
"There is tide in the affairs
of men when taken at the flood
leads on to fortune, SAID the poet.
The gods help those who help
themselves has been demonstra-
ted in every age and in every
land. The capitalist. the ener-
getic man who is looking
for a location, measures your
town by the value your people
set on it. Even the splendid
prospects which will yield a
golden harvest can be lost by
stinginess, by petty jealousy,
by indifference. Fort Worth,
Shreveport, Ruston and Monroe
have never depended solely upon
their natural resources. They
have been successful and are
prosper ous because they sent the
knockers to the rear and made
them so uncomfortable that they
got out. Those hustling, thriving
cities have been ever ready to go
down into their pockets and help
advertise, help bring factories
and railroads, and the few dollars
thus spent have returned thou
sands. If your people cannot put
up dollars they ut least should
encourage those who are doirg it.
You should not be jealous of
your neighbors; say a good word
for your sister towns, and be
sure to stand by your own people
when they are working to help
you.
"Winnfield should have a large
auditorium, the parish should
build at ouce a modern court
house, and a high school build
ing of brick or stone. 1he parish
is one of the richest in the State
and it would be no hardship to
do these things and the invest.
ment would pay well. With a
long pull, a strong pull and pull
altogether, even your older mel
will see a large city here, but
with indifference and knocking
you will remain a little tow
which the traveller will point ouI
as the Station of Lost Opportu
nity."

Louisiana looking after invest.

He BOUGHT OIL STOCK
Notes Past Development and
Sees a Bright Future for
the Good Old Town.

Hon. J. Henry Shepherd,
well known lawyer and capitalist
formerly of Shreveport but now
of South McAlister, Indian Ter
ritory, was here this week for
few days looking after invest
ments, having come here from

where he has interests. After
spending a couple of days here
and looking over the oil fields
Mr.. Shepherd decided to invest
in the proposition aud purchased
$4,000 worth of the stock of the
Pace Oil Company, Limited.
Mr.. Shepherd was interviewed
by . Sentinel representative in
regard to his impression of the
towns future prospects. He has
visited Winfield before and re-
plying to questions, said:
'sThe improvements of Winn-
field since my last visit here cer-
tainly have been great. A stave
factory employing a hundred men,
the Sulphur Timber & Lumber
Company's large saw mill. which
employs more than two hundred
men, one of the best equipped
machine shops in the State, estab-
lished by the owners of the Louis
ana and Arkansas Railroad and
by them patronized, with its
steam hammer, lathes and other
machinery and o force of skilled
mechanics able to do all kinds of
repair work, two locomotives now
in the shops being practically
rebuilt; all of these enterprises
producing a weekly payroll which
furnishes q splendid cash trade
for your merchants and gives an
air of prosperity to your well
built brick stores and your two
very handsome banks, all i'm.
presses the stranger that here i,
a place where there is no room

Continuing, Mr.. shepherd
said: "Such men as Hodge

and others, who have developed
your mill, your machine shops
one of the largest bottling works
in the State, and are now building
a street car line, will make Winn
