Would Certainly Pay.

1t is a healthy sign when at
tentipn is being generally called
and strenuously urged for the
improvement of the public roads.
A contemporary we'll says, that.
"The wear and tear on vehicles
and live stock during .one winter
of bad weather, where roads are
not properly maintained, would
more than pay the interest on
bonds sufficient to build "good
roads" of the permanent kind.
The increase in the productive
power of the community, and in
the value of the land itself, re-
suItant from better transpOrta-
ton facilities, would soon retire
the principal"

The Sentinel Contest.

Example is better than precept.
The young man who shrinks from
the active pursuits of life because
of the rugged paths he must
needs travel, is lacking in that
energy and perseverance that are
the keys to success. He has
placed no prize on the goal of his
resolves which he seeks to attain.
In this respect he is oftentimes
shamed by the splendid achieve
ments of maidens and women
whose patient endurance and per-
severing energy to attain the
object of their desires, are pro-
verbal. These ideas are suggest
ed by the enthusiasm displayed
by the fair girls who are contest
ing for the Sentinel prizes.
They are among the most attract
i've society maidens of Winfield
and none of them show any
disposition of hating in their
efforts to achieve the victory.
On the contrary obstacles only
seem to increase their active
efforts and perseverance. All
have placed Excelsior" on their
banners, and are proudly carrying
their colors toward the goal at
which they aim. Pity t is that
there were not prizes for each one
of them. They certainly deserve
it for their heroic struggle to
achieve success.

The Knights Of the Road Find
WINFIELD q Good Place In
which to do Business

Drummers are proverbial for
knowing In what direction the tide
of bushes is flowing the strongest,
and are not backward in taking
advantage of its current. On this
theory Winfield must be a lively
trade center judging from the
number of these jovial and pro-
verbally generous and genial
commercial travellers who weekly
make this progressive town their
headquarters. The presence of
some of these restless arteries of
business pursuits is noted during
the past week.

merchants to forget that he is
conner and goer.
j. Champagne of Alexandria is
not banked by the fact that Winn-
field is an unusually healthy town
and persists in offering his rem
edies for human Ills.
w. w. Ogline, of ElDorado,
Ark, thinks the city among the
hills is q good market for his
wares and acts accordingly.
A. Bauer of Alexandria is quick
to know good thing when he
finds it, and makes this town his
sine qua non.
l.. M. White of New Orleans is
another persistent promoter of
remedies that take human ailments
out of the blood and bones of
suffering mortals.
w. w. Harding, of st. Louis,
seems to know that this town is
filled with beautiful little girls and
misses, hence keeps the dealers in
CONNECTIONS we'll supplied with
toOthsome sweets.
j. A. Finley. of Shreveport,
reminds the dealers in Winfield
that the "Queen City" of North
Louisiana is the coming metro
polls, and is reaching out for its
share of this worlds flow of rest
less business activity.
H. j: Y. Moss. of Alexandria,
knows that the residents of this
town are promoters OF good liv-
ing and does not hesitate to sup
ply the merchants with toothsome
supplies good for the inner man.
Joe Hanna, of New Orleans, is
another of the commercial men
who believes in protecting the
citizens belongings from the wear
and tear of travel and the thief
that purloins the goods of his
neighbor.
ID. Thompson, of Ruston, is
always bent of seeing that tooth
some supplies enrich the stores of
the merchants and larders of the
thrifty housewives.
j. L. Pitts, of Ruston, is given
to disposing of articles that will
endure hard wear, and is as true
rs the steel in which he deals.
G. M. Meadows, of Shreveport,
has recognized the fact that Winn-
field has no laundry, hence as he
is q believer in immaculate linen,
he supplies the good housewives
with . preparation that will re-
move the soil from gorments and
lessen her arduous labor.
John Prudhomme, of Shreve-
port, knows that Winfield is full
of fair maids aud beautiful chill
dren who love fruits and confec-
tlons and that its housewives are
fond of tickling the palates of
their bubbles with we'll prepared
edibles.
j. Z. Goode, of Shreveport, is !

Hustling Denmark.

Our sister city is awakening to her
opportunities. There are some very
live citizens there who are determin-
ed that her numerous advantages
shall be known to the outside world.
Their claims are we'll founded, and if
Denmark does not become great
city it will not be their fault, nor for
the lack of great natural advantages
and splendid transportation facilities.
A strong real estate company is
helping in the development of the
city. Gangs Of men have been en-:
gagged for some time in opening and
grading new streets and in other I'M

Quite a large number Of lots have
already been sold to those who will
improve them at once. Among the
business lots for sale are some near
the railroad right of way.
Some very handsome buildings are
now being erected, notably the line

against the Charlotte Observer. Mr..
Billings was present at the hearing,
accompanied by his lawyers, Messrs.
Glidewell and Lane, of Reidsville, N.
G.. The testimony taken was on the
part >of the defendant, who was rep
resented by Mr.. Lucas, an attorney of
Charlotte. This testimony will be
made public at the trial. A hear
ing was had at Blackville on Thurs
day, where much testimony was
taken. The case is to be tried on the
18th instant. Mr.. Billings, who was
pastor of the Baptist church at
Blackville until deposed some months
ago, is suing the Charlotte Observer
for damages on account of it's pub
lication concerning his unfrocking
by the church. The case will no
doubt be bitterly contested. :

liams Monday morning on the plan
tation of w. H. Oulla, near Ware
Shoals. Washington went to the
store and bought some shells and
invited some negroes to go with
him, so it is said, as he was "going
to kill a nigger," but as no one
would go with him he went alone
to a field where the Williams wo-
man was at work and killed her.
He then went back to Ware Shoals,
stepped up to Of1cer Hughes and
presented his gun and shells, telling
Hughes that he was done with them
as he had killed him a niger
Hughes locked the negro up. 1t
seems to be a clear case Of murder.

Death of Mr.. Hugh Hutto.

Mr.. Hugh Hutto died at his home near
Spring Branch church last Thursday
morning, after an illness of about two
weeks. He was son of Mr.. and Mrs. G..
E. Hutto, and was popular among large
circle of friends. He was about twenty
seven years old, and leaves a wife and two
children. He married daughter of the
late Jacob Rentz, Jr.
The burial took place Friday morning
at Bethlehem Lutheran church. Rev. S..
w. Danner was the officiating minister,
and the Knights of Pythias lodge of this
city buried him with Pythian honors. Mr..
Hutto only joined the order a few months
ago, but he had endeared himself to the
brethren, and there was goodly number
of the members present to pay their
tribute of love and respect. To the
bereaved ones we extend sympathy.
