The southern sentinel. (Winnfield, La.) 1883-1910, 1907-12-13
A Happy Community.

1t is an Indisputable fact that
there is more unusual quietude in
Winnfiedld over the political
campaign than In any other town
of the same proportions in the
State. While many localities are
at fever heat and plunged into
warm discussions, here there is
neither strife noI display of bitter
antagonismS. There may be a
number of causes for this happy
condition of affairs.
The people are intelligent and
earnest readers of current events.
Mayhap each has Intelligently
considered the situation and made
up his mind how to cast his ballot.
Certain is it that there is little
hesitancy in declaring prefer
ance. Not less is it a fact that
this never causes any heated argu-
ment. 1t is received with u laugh
able comment and good natured
banter to ."show hands,"
Again the reign of peace might
be attributed to the studied alb
sence of political aspirants to dis
cuss the leading issues of the
campaign. Thus far Winfield
can boast of only one open air
gathering, and the quiet presence
of the "gum shoe" candidates
who unannounced came and as
quietly folded their tents and stole
away, like the Arabs of the desert.
Another, and most cogent rea-
son of all, is the earnest and un-
ceasing effort of the people to
push the car of progress ever for
ward, for there seems no halt in
the spirit of development. 1t is
a patent fact that when man or
a community is engrossed in its
own affairs, there lis no time to
give heed to the business of 9TH
ers. particularly when the affairs
and concern of "the others" have
been satisfactorily settled and
adjusted.
