badly planned cannon ball /; this, learned

the name of the palace, l gathered that
the President had once hoped to base
the prosperity of his young republic on
the solid foundation of mineral wealth.
This hope had been long abandoned
L have always hated hotels, SO l lost
no time in looking round for lodgings
suitable to my means, and was fortunate
enough to obtain couple of rooms In the
house occupied by priest, Father
Jacques Bonchretien. He was very good
fellow, and though we did not become in
innate, l could always rely on his cour-
tesy and friendly services. Here I lived
in great comfort at an expense of fifty
dollars a month, and 1 soon found that
my spare fifty made me well-to-do man
in Whittingham. Accordingly / had the
entree of all the best houses, including
the Golden House, and a very pleasant
little society we had; occasional dances,
frequent dinners, and plenty of lawn ten
mis- and billiards prevented me feeling the
tedium l had somewhat fe>-ed, and the
young ladies of Nottingham did their
best to solace my exile. AS for business,
l found the bank doing a small business,
but tolerably satisfactory one, and if
we made some bad debts, we got high in
terest on the good ones, so that, one way
or another, l managed to send home pref
ty satisfactory reports, and time passed
on quietly enough in spite of certain man
ifestations of discomfort among the popu-
lation. These disturbing phenomena were
first brought prominently to my notice at
the time when 1 became involved in the
fortunes of the Aureataland national
debt, and as all my story turns on this
incident, it perhaps is a fit subject for a
new chapter.

At Columbia.

"Old Arkansaw," which is described
as "a heart story of the hills of Ar
Kansas" will be the attraction at the
Columbia theater this week. "Old Ar
kansaw" is termed a melodramatic
comedy, and is termed to be woven
around an interesting plot, replete with
thrilling situations and startling eli
makes.
There are a number of clever spe-
cialities introduced throughout the
play, including original songs, duets,
quartets and dances, both fancy and
grotesque. The comedy element is
said to be a strong feature, the
characters being peculiar and typical
OF the class Of natives in the back
woods of Arkansas.
The author is said to have spent a
number of months in that section and
to have drawn his characters from
life
Zlnns Coming Back.
The linn Musical Travesty company,
which has already played several en-
gagements at the Columbia during the
present season, will return to that
house week after next for an indef
mite period. The opening perform
ance will be that of Lecocq's comic
opera, "Girone-Girofia," which will be
followed by a repertoire of comic
operas and musical comedies.
Manager Dreher of the Columbia
tteater announces that hereafter nc
more Sunday matinees will be play
ed at that house.

WELCOME I9OSI
The Southern Sentinel Sends
Its New Years Greeting to
Its Many Readers.

Before another issue of The
Southern Sentinel the year 1907
will be numbered with the past.
We desire to express to our sub
scribers and patrons our sincere
thanks for the support and en-
couragement they have given us.
When we resumed the editorial
and physical control of The
Sentinel. two years ago, we did
so fearing that we would fall
short of the expectations of our
patrons. How well we have done
and how near we have come to
carrying out our pledges, we
leave for you to judge; but we
have the conscious pride that we
have left nothing undone that
our feeble ability could supply
and have spared no expense that
would be necessary to place The
Sentinel in the front rank of
journalism i'm this state. We have
advocated everything that would
elevate the progress of our city,
parish and state, physically,
morally, socially, and never al
lowing anything to appear in this
paper that could not be SUBJ
stantiated.
In the year 1908, which we are
about to enter, We will endeavor
to keep up the high standard
which we have reached and
improve with the advent of events
and times. To do this we must |

have the cooperation of our
patrons.
We have not, in the past,
pressed our patrons, nor will we
in the future, but it takes money
to run a newspaper and all we
ask is that patrons will assist US,
and we will do the rest.
Wishing each and every one a
happy and prosperous new year.
We are yours to serve,

Distinguished Visitors.

Thursday night of last week,
Lieut. Governor Jared Y. San
ders spent the night at Winfield,
on his tour of North Louisiana.
He was accompanied by Hon. P.
M. Lambremont, of st. James,
Hon. j. M. Smith, of Baton
Rouge, and j. Walter Ross, cor
respondent of the New Orleans
States. The party of gentlemen
were the guests of the New City
Hotel, and were the recipients of
marked attention from large
numbers of the citizens of Winn-
field. In fact the hotel was
thronged with the followers of
the candidate for governor, who
called to pay their respects to
their standard bearer for guber-
Material honors. When be visits
this city next month he will be
accorded an ovation similar to
that which has marked his
itinerary throughout Louisiana.

CHRISTMAS JOYS
AT WINFIELD
Santa Claus Visits the Churches
and Gives Gifts to Good
S. S. Children.

The city of Amsterdam claims
st. Nicholas as its patron saint,
more famillarly known as Santa
Claus, and throughout Holland
his birthday, December 6, is cele-
brated as st. Nicholas day. In
the majority of christian lands he
usually visits the homes on Christ
mas eve and at dawn on that an
niversary his visit to the millions
of the homes of the earth, is evil
denced by his bounteous presents
TO the children, by their we'll filled
stockings with every imaginable
present. In WINFIELD he made
glad the hearts of hundreds of
children by hanging gifts on the
evergreen trees in the Baptist and
Methodist churches.
At the Baptist Church he was
present by proxy and be was
ideally represented by the genial
and mirth-provoking person of
w. NJ. Wallace. who distributed
gifts from the brightly lighted
Christmas tree, with pleasant
words and quaint sayings that
kept the happy and bright-eyed
children in the height of enjoy
lnent Everyone was remembered
and the hearts of all were made
happy and joyous.
Preceding the disposition of the
gifts, the children entertained the
audience with Christmas songs
and recitations that proved most
entertaining feature of the occas-
ion.
The First Methodist Church
was the scene of a similar scene
Of enjoyment, and. the glad voices
Of the children os the Sunday |
school rang out in jubilant songs
Of gladsome carols appropriate to
The occasion. The tree was beau
kiful in It's decorations of lighted
Eapers and ladened with tokens of
love and affection for each one of
the happy and exoectant girls and
boys.
On these festive occasions it was
! question as to whether the little
ones, who received good gifts,
we're happier in their receiving
