The southern sentinel. (Winnfield, La.) 1883-1910, 1908-04-17
MARRIED.
Wyatt--Pratt.

brides sister, in Lawhon, La. on
Sunday, April l2, 1908, Mr..
George w. Wyatt, of Winfield,
and Miss Ivy Pratt, of Sbreve-
port, Rev. j. M. Hixon, OF
Rlnggold, officiating.
The bride is a most charming
yonnp lady who is well known In
the social circles of WINFIELD.
To the attractions of her person
she unites a winning manner that
makes her favorite in her circle
of friends. The bridegroom is a
sterling young man who is em-
pIoyed at the popular store OF
O'Quin & Gibson.
The couple arrived here Sunday
morning and will make their
future home in Winfield. The
Sentinel extends to the young
couple its sincere wishes for a
union of genuine happiness.
Some Turnip.
Our friend b. +. Sewers, of
ward 2, whose postoflice is Hick-
DRY Valley, never fOrgets The
Sentinel when it comes to sub
stantials. Tuesday he brought
to this Office a fine specimen of
the root of that cruciferous
biennial plant commonly known
as a turnip. He supplemented
the gift with a renewal of his
subscription, all of which goes to
prove that Mr.. Sewers has an
abiding faith in The Sentinel and
its promoters.
Mailing Clerk.
The residents of the many
towns on the l.. X. & n. railroad
between Winfield and Shreve-
port, are anxious that a mailing
clerk be assigned to the train that
leaves this place every morning
and makes the run to and from
Shreveport. There is no such
postal clerk on this train, and as
there are large number of small
postofhces between Winfield and
Shreveport such an official of the
postofice department would be
great accommodation to the
people along the route in handling
way mail. This omission has
been brought to the attention of
the Sentinel representative recent
ly, and if some movement is made
along this route to supply this de-
ficiency by those most interested,
doubtless the matter will be given
attention by the Postofiice Depart
ment. 1t is at least worthy an
effort in this direction.
A Linen Shower.
Tuesday evening a number of
the friends of Mr.. George w.
Wyatt and his popular and at
tractive bride surprised them
with an elegant linen shower. 1t
WAS u token of their esteem, and
not less of their appreciation of
the new relations of the happy
couple, as we'll as delicate and
substantial expression of their
friendly regard. The party was
cordially received and sociably
entertained by the recipients of
their friendly proffer.

New Equipment.
Monday the clerks office, pre-
sided over by that genial official,
Perry X. Abel, and his efficient
deputy, S. M. Abel. received a
new Elliott book typewriter of
the most improved pattern. This
was In response to the action of |
the police jury to exchange the
old machine for q new one. |
Typewriters are as much neces-
sity in public Offices as IN bus
mess counting rooms, and afford
. more rapid, heater and durable
method of making transcripts of
public documents than the old
method of transcrlbing them with
pen and ink. The new machine
is a very handsome one.

Fishing Party.
This is the sc ason of the year
when the mind of the sportsman,
turns to the wildwoods and
stream, lagoon ana lake, for the
pastime of catching the flnny
denizens of the streams amid his
haunts in shady pools. Last Sat-
urday Mr.. /. e. Smith went to
Goldonna and was joined by DIR.
M. billiard, Jas. Brewton, VIM.
Traynor and others, on fishing
outing on Saline, near brakes
Salt Works. While conditions
we're not very favorable for this
sport, yet the party had most
enjoyable outing and a fair share
of excellent sport. Mr.. Smith
returned Monday.
