Coming Events.

1t has been reported that
Winnfield's popular millinery
establishments have orders for no
less than eight brides hats, all to
be ready for early in June.
While the utmost secrecy prevails,
as only the ladies can keep a
secret, enough has "leaked out"
to give assurances that there is
going to be something doing in
the near future and some of our
popular young people are billed
to play leading parts. The Sem
tinel can "give nothing away"
being ''sworn to secrecy" but it
takes this occasion to state that it
can print wedding invitations,
announcements, etc., in the most
up-to-date manner and on short

To raise them to noble

the nurture and admonition of

united with them in Gods eternal

ambition. To help the suffering;
to bear burdens for others. and
to prepare for the life to come
was to her the supreme duty.
As we looked at the small
hands that were never weary in
doing for others as they lay so
peacefully folded in death we
were reminded of the lines:
Beautiful hands are they that do
Deeds that are noble, good ami true"

NUMBER 2
TURNS OUT To
BE A FRAUD
A Topeka Real Estate Dealer
Gulled a Number of Louis
lana Newspapers.

Some time ago the newspapers
OF LOUISIANA were offered a
quarter-page advertisement for
one David p. Taft, a real estate
dealer of Topeka, Kansas.
Feeling bit suspicious, The
Sentinel engaged in some cor
respondence with the "real estate
dealer" and finally decided to
''pass up" his advertising. But
a number of our exchanges took
1t and thus helped to promote
what has turned out to be a fraud.
From last weeks American
Press the following is reprinted:
"The postmaster general has
stopped the delivery of mail to
David p. Taft, real estate dealer
of Topeka.
According to the postofice
Inspector, Tsff's scheme Was to
advertise In newspapers and by
circulars for farmers and Others
who had real estate to sell to
place it in his hands. He asked
slO as a listing fee before UNDER
taking the sale of the property.
People who paid him say they got
nothing for their money. The
notice sent to Taft by the depart
nent to appear and show cause
Why a fraud order should not be
ssued was returned by the post
