He is very favorably impressed
with Winfield as u location for

supply of such timber as he
desires. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Paitison desires but few con-

THE SOUTHERN sssTiAEl.

After two years and half of ar
duous labor, we are egotistical
enough to believe that we have
brought The Sentinel to the high
est standard, for the advancement
of the interests of Winnhcld. Winn
Parish and the State of Louisiana.
We have spared no expense IN the
way of advertising the many ad-
vantages of this town and parish.
We have increased our circulation
until We have reached the point
where we have the largest circula-
ton of any weekly paper in the
State. We have done this believ-
ing that the citizens of WINFIELD
and Winn parish appreciate our
work. We have given our readers
the best talent we could get. We
have carried this on during the
panic, at great expense. to find on
the advent of better times, that we
will be compelled to curtail our
force and at the same time the
size of our paper. for want of sup
port which we tried to merit and
certainly expected. We promise,
however. that We will give you tn,
paper in future which your sup
port will warrant.
A gentleman of this city re-
marked to US some time ago:
That you have been working for
the other fellow" We agreed
with him perfectly except that il
has been for all the fellows that
lived in Winfield.
We will continue to give all the
news. and rededicate the columns
of this paper to the upbuiIding oi
the town and parish. We must
here thank those who have stood
by US in the past There are many
who owe us for their paper. We
have sent them all notices and a
remittance from them would be
thankfully received small
amount 10 each individual. but a
considerable amount in the aggre-
gate to US.
Many men dislike to be calico
on or "dunned," as they term it
They can avoid that by paying
when they receive marked cop,
of the paper. If the responses
are not prompt we will be COM
PEELED to place our delinquent lisi
in the hands of a collector.
