WINFIELD, WRlN PARISH LOUISIANA APRIL 10. 1907
Organization Completed.

The Winfield Brass Band has
been. organized and all the pre-
liminary steps have been taken
to put the band in working order.
Mr.. w. l.. Brown has been en-
ployed as instructor for term of
six months by which time it is
thought the band will be in good
shape for, work. Eighteen in
struments have been ordered and
will soon arrive when practice will
be begun. The gentlemen COM
posing the band are enterprising
and their efforts in this instance
should meet with the hearty
approval of every citizen of the
town.
Justice j. w. Vance of Atlanta
was visitor to WINFIELD Tues
day and gave this Office a call.
He reported farmers in his sec
tion we'll up with their farming
operations and needing rain.
A number of the young people
of town are arranging to have an
outing and picnic at Gorham
Crossing tomorrow, Saturday.
An unusually good time Is anti
cipated by all who are expecting
to attend.
Mr.. D. G.. Hagler, of Gulfport,
Miss, arrived Tuesday on visit
to friends at this place and at
Dodson. He formerly resided
here, but has been at Gulfort. for
the past two years.
Messrs. L. Siess and G. P. Ma
this went to Jena Tuesday evening
where they will remain several
days conducting an auction sale
of general merchandise.
w. A. Mashaw & Co. do not
expect To leave Winfield, have
no thought of it. but they are
overstocked and are holding an
auction to reduce their stock. If
you miss the sale it is your loss.
Mr.. Geo. Wyatt spent Tuesday
down the Valley and Wednesday
up the Rock Island Railroad soll-
citing business for that popular

SUPPORT THE
PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE
1t Has Done Much for the Town
and There is More to
be Done.

The Winfield Progressive
League has done much towards
building the town since its or
ganization more than two years
ago, but its work is not all COM
|pleted and will not be for some
time yet, and the organization
should be kept up and in vigorous
working order.
A review of the work done by
the Progressive League during
the past two years will give an
idea, but only an idea, of what 1t
might accomplish in the future.
The League has secured for the
town a large stave factory, saw
and planning mill, briqk factory,
iron works and foundry, Ice fac
tory, the state warehouse of the
farmers union, the fremont and
Gulf Railroad and its shops, and
the Rock Island shops. These
things have been brought here
through the Progressive League
ut an insignificant cost when COM
pared with what these enterprises
are worth to the town.
Considering these things it
seems that it should not be nee
essary to ask for support for the
League, but our business men are
not giving the organization the
support 1t must have If it Is to do
what it was organized to do
work for Winfield.
The Progressive League has
done excellent work during the
past and there is a greater work
before it. and every citizen of the
town should give it his moral and
financial support.

GOOD THING
FOR WINFIELD
Is the Double Daily Service
as now run on the Valley
Railroad.

is one of the best arrangements
for Winfield that could possibly
be made.
Through service between
Shreveport and New Orleans on
the main line was put into effect
Sunday and ION the same date
double daily service was put into
effect on the branch line between
this place and the junction at
Aloha. Trans on the branch
line meet each train on the main
line and return to Winfield.
The service on the road between
Shreveport and New Orleans is
splendid. The Sentinel editor
made the trip last Sunday on the
first through train to New Orleans
and was agreeably surprised at
the splendid equipment and road
bed of this Louisiana Railroad, +"
and the quick time made over the
new road.
The completion of this road
opens ap vast territory of rich
agricultural lands in this state
besides tapping the timber belt.
There are eighteen large saw mills
on the line now in operation and
the average monthly shipments
of lumber is 1000 cars. Aside
from the lumber business the
road will handle more than
100, 900 bales of cotton every
rear. The road already has traf-
&c arrangements with the trunk
lines entering Shreveport, Alex
andria, Baton Rouge and New
Orleans so as to handle business
to and from all points.
The passenger train service as
now arranged on the branch line
opens up to Winfield splendid
trade territory and already the
progressive merchants are work
ING Ii. As now arranged people
can come from any point on the
main line above Aloha or between
Aloha and WINFIELD to WInn-
field, spend four hours here and
return early in the afternoon. It
Il an excellent arrangement for
the business interests of the town
and favor that will be duly
appreciated.
