MOVE FOR A
PARISH FAIR
Winn Parish Needs One to
Promote Agricultural
Interests.

Ihe Sent1nel mas received the
following from one of the parish's
leading citizens and publishes it
that all may think over the matter
and become interested in parish
fair. The letter is as follows:
Dodson, La, Mar. %, 1907.
Mr.. w. A. Strong.
WINFIELD, La.
Dear sir and friend:
I have been talking with q
number of farmers of this and
other parts of Winh Parish about
having parish fair. I find none
who oppose it. So l thought !
would drop you . few lines in
regard to the matter and let you
be thinking it over.
l will be in WINFIELD on the
first of April and will see you if
possible and We will talk the
matter over.
I think this would be . great
benefit to the parish. We can
raise ss fine stock and poultry
in Winn as IN any other part of
this state, and make our land
produce IS much to the acre as
any hill land parish 10 the state.
/ see no reason svhy We should
not haye . fair annually. for the
benefit of the farmers of Winn.
I have nothing to put on ex-
hibitlon now, but II we should
have Q fair it would encourage
me to try to have something. l
bellsvv-is~af few years We can
equal any of the hill parishes in
this respect.
Now, you can think about this
until I come down there and we
will see whas the police jury will
do to and rs in such an under
taking. / think 1t would be a
great advantage to the parish.
Please find out what the Winn-
field people think of it.
Yours respectfully.

The Rock Island was ordered,

will IN q measure remedy the in
adequate train service on this
road which the towns along the
line have been trying to have
remedied during the past several
lrs.
The business OF this road is
ample to justify better accommo-
dafions and there was no reason
Nfy these changes have not been
made sooner, but the Commission
Nns finally appealed to with the
1eealt that the service will be
slightly improved.

Died.

Nose Smith died on Friday,
March 22nd at his residence in
ward five. He leaves q wife and
thirteen children to mourn his
loss.
Nose was one of the few color
ed men who appreciated the fact
that be had to depend upon him
self to make his way In this world.
Nose was born slave but at so
young an age that he was never
aware of that fact. He was, from
boyhood to the day of his death,
q man who had the respect and
confidence of his white neighbors.
He had accumulated considerable
property, a comfortable home
and had sent his children to the
colored college at Gibsland.
The editor of The Sentinel re-
cords the notice of his death with
considerable feeling and tenders
to his bereaved wife (whop he
partly raised) and children his
sincere sympathy and coincidence
and can truly say "peace be to
his ashes"

Prospective Candidates Should Know.

In view of the importance of the cam
paign for the nomination of candidates
for the various county offices, and the
number who will likely enter the race
next spring, II will be well to make a
little study of the new law governing
future primary elections, excerpts OF
which are herewith given:
Section A. No candidate and no treas.
urer of any political committee, shall
pay, give or lend, or agree to pay,
give or lend either directly or indi-
rectly, any money or other valuable
thing for any nomination or election ex-
penses whatever, except for the following
purposes: For printing, advertising,
travelling expenses and personal expenses
incident thereto; for dissemination of in
formation to the public; for the employ
ment of watchers at primary meetings
and elections; for transportation of voters
to and from polls.
Section 5. Every candidate for nomi-
nation at any primary election, caucus,
or convention, whether nominated there
at or not, shall, within fifteen days after
the same was held, ifthe amount received
or expended shall exceed the sum of fifty
dollars, and every candidate for election,
and every treasurer of a political commit
tee or person acting as such treasurer
shall, within thirty days after every cleo
tion at which such candidate was voted
for, or with which such political commit
tee was concerned, If the amount re.
ceiyed or expended shall exceed the sum
of fifty dollars, file with the proper Off
GERS full, true and detailed account, sub.
scrioed and sworn or affirmed to by him,

A Remarkable Career.

For three score years The Dispatch has
been the leading newspaper of Pittsburg,
1t has had not only local reputation, but
national fame as one of the great newspa-
pers of the United States.
This reputation has rested upon quality
The Dispatch is Pittsburg's paper of pres
tige, THE Pittsburg paper known to all
the country. The Dispatch was pre-emi-
nent in its field when all papers were sold
for cents. When cotelnporaries sold
for penny The Dispatch enjoyed the
distinction of having been preferred a
twice the cost of competitors. Whyi
Quality that tells.
Each issue of The Dispatch is better
than that of the day before. Its aim is
constant improvement. 1t is continually
adding to its facilities for getting the news
Its enterprise is untiring.
More than this, The Dispatch is liked
because it tells the truth without color oil
bias. Being the only independent paper
it is not allied with the political parties
Ut ClllutS. IL lollS DOtu ccuoS oitho otoi y
so that its readers can compare issues and
| form honest conclusions.
Unrivsled news facilities enable the Dis
patch to print exclusively the best local
State, national and foreign news in all de-
partments.
The sporting pages are recognized as
authority.
Its special features and departments
are superior to all others.
Its editorials are fearless and independ'
| ent,
Its editorial page is not approached IN
reliability, attractiveness or interest.
The Dispatch has always been worth
cents. Now that all the Pittsburg morn
ing papers are being sold for the same
| price it is inevitable that the public will
prefer real 2-cent paper that has wor
popular approval on that basis and that
will hereafter have an even greater cir
custion.
Since all the morning papers will cos
the same the public will naturally SCI
that it gets the best.

HE is ON DECK.
Congressman Wheeler Is Ready for
the Fray.

A Washington, ID. c., dispatch to the
Oil City Blizzard, under date of Novem-
Der Goth, says:
Congressman and Mrs. Wheeler and
party arrived here OH Thursday and have
taken possession of their apartments at
the New Willard Hotel for the session of
Congress. MIR. Wheeler will tonight at
tend the Republican caucus when the
officers for the new House will be selected,
including the popular Major Mcdowell,
of Mercer County, who will again be
chosen as clerk OF that body. On Monday
Mr.. Wheeler will participate in the or
gsnization of the House, take the oath of
office from Speaker Cannon and select
the seat that he will occupy when the
drawing takes place.
"As the rooms 10 be occupied in the
new office building by the members will
not be ready for use for two months yet,
Mr.. Wheeler has leased an office in the
modern Colorado building, where his
secretary, Gus B. Evans, will be in
charge, aud the two will there look after
the numerous requests from the district
and have them attended to.
"Mr, Wheeler is realizing that his new
job demands that he be good messenger
for his constituents and he proposes to at
tend to that portion of his work and with
the assistance of Mr.. Evans nothing will
ha pauIaotad C,noa tho Ith nf March Mr.
Wheeler has secured the allowance of
numerous pensions for old soldiers and
their heirs in his district, and now that he
and Mr.. Evans will be here regularly all
claims will be pressed to the limit. Mr..
Evans is proving to an able and efficient
hustler and aid to Mr.. Wheeler.
"Among the appointments that will be
sent to the Senate next week for contir-
nation will be that of Mr.. Wright to be
postmaster at Youngsville, Warren Coun-
ty, vice Jackson, deceased. MIR. Jackson
died in August, and a lively and interest
ing fight sprung up oyer that 81 500 job.
When Mr.. Wheeler returned from his
European trip he was called upon to
make selection in this fight, and after
carefully examining all the papers filed
by the half dozen applicants it was appar-
ent that Mr.. Wright not only possessed
the strongest endorsements. nut that he
was the popular choice for the office. AS
the contest had become quite bitter, MIR.
Wheeler was urged by prominent repub-
licans to pass all the svowed candidates
by and select a compromise candidate
but he did not believe that would be g
fair deal, and decided to recommend the
appointment of Mr.. Wright"

The sixtieth Congress assembled at
noon Monday and the formula of swear
ing in the members was quickly gone
through with. This being new Con-
gress all members-elect were sworn.
"Uncle" Joe Cannon was again elected
speaker. and about all the former officers
were reelected, including Alexander
Mcdowell of this district as chief clerk.
Upon the completion of the organization
of the two branches adjournment was
taken out OF respect for deceased men,
bers until Tuesday, when President
Roosevelts message was read. The doc
ument is lengthy one, but like all of
Mr.. Roosevelts utterances, is intensely
interesting and vigorous on all the great
national problems of the hour. The RE-
PUBLICAN prints today the message in
full as TO the most vital and momentous
questions discussed by the President,
and we recommend its careful perusal
by all our readers.

THE veteran pedestrian, Edward Pay

p. M, thus making his travelling time,
exclusive of Sundays. IA days, 10 hours
Is minutes. Weston did not walk on
Sundays, because of a promise made his
mother many years ago, when he was a

Col. W. j. BRYAN says the donkey Is a
better emblem for party than the ele-
plant, because the donkey is a patient,
haId-working animal, a burden bearer
and useful servant of mankind, while
the elephant is seldom seen except upon
dress parade. This may all be true, but
it, perhaps, never occurred to anybody
that either emblem had any significance
other than the convenience OF the car
toonist 1t might be said in defense of
the elephant, however, that he has a
