The southern sentinel. (Winnfield, La.) 1883-1910, 1908-03-06

a splendid success from every
standpoint. That its lessons have
been fraught with, valuable exper-
fences and left most lasting results
and impressions. there is not the
shadow of a doubt.
1t has stamped with its indelible
marks, the crowning glory and
reward for persistent energy, I'M
faltering devotion and undismayed
fidelity in the attainment of a fixed
goal.
The Sentinel can find no suffici-
emily expressive words to convey
its appreciation of the constant
endeavors and heroic work OF the
fair maidens who have SO nobly
and persistently urged upon the
public the claims of this journal
for their patronage and support.
How well they have succeeded
and how admirably they have per-
formed their work in the friendly
rivalry to attain the victory. are
shown in another column of this
edition.
These young ladies are number
ed among the most popular girls
in the social circles of WINFIELD.
They are noted tor their personal
attractions and mental attinments.
They are classed among the
sweetest and most lovely blossoms
of Winn6eld's queen roses of the
rosebud garden of girls and
WINFIELD boasts of more beautiful
maidens than usually fall to the
lot of a community of its proper
tons.
While school and home duties
compelled some of these young
ladies to abandon the race tor the
prizes. yet are they none the less
entitled to full praise for the eff
forts they put forth. as those who
commended to the close of the race.
The Misses Rhodes Randle.
Annette Wright. Ruby Moss. Clara
McGinty. Alma Wright, Grace
Hudson and Ida May Crawford
have left a lasting impression on
this community that will reap a
rich reward in the years to come.
They have more than THRILLED the
circulation of The Southern Sem
tinel. They have scattered it from
Canada on the north, over the
lakes. to the shores of the great
oceans. east and west. and the
Gulf of Mexico on the south, to
the distant possessions of the Phil
ippine Islands on the eastern coast
of Asia.
To-day The Southern Sentinel
can boast of the widest circulation
of any country weekly in the State
of Louisiana. 1t is ar eight-page
all-home print, abreast of the
times. and a valuable exponent Of
the splendid advantages of Winn-
