The Verda Trouble.

While there is considerable bad
feeling existing over the race feu1
In Verda, the lamentable homI-
eide OF last Sunday night seems
to have given rise to a sober Sec
ond thought. When the Sentinel
representative passed through the
town Monday night there was the
usual throng at the depot without
any manifestation of excitement.
He heard no talk of any further
outbreak. Only a strict regard
for and obedience to law will re-
store order and preserve the
peace, and prove the solution of
the antagonistic enmity that has
resulted so deplorably. The peo-
pie of Verda should recognize this
fact, Sensational publications and
threatening and Incorporate Ian
guage are calculated to infame,
not soothe aroused passions.
Keep the peace.

Recent Events.

The Louisiana Travellers will
hold meeting in Shreveport on
April Lat which they will inaugu-
rate a statewide agitation of the
question of a 2-cents mile rail-
road fare in this State. This
Association is the first organiza-
ton to begin the agitation of this
question in Louisiana.
Governor Blanchard has issued
proclamation for a general cleo
ton to be held throughout the
State of Louisiana on Tuesday
April 81, 1908. He closes his
proclamation with urging the sup
ervisors to use all diligence in
compiling aud transmitting the
election returns.
The t. 6 p. shops at Marshall
on March 18th were shut down
until April l. Eight hundred
men were thrown out of employ
ment. No reason was given for
the closing.
"Black Hand" letters have
recently been sent to G. 0. Fer
guson, of the Homer National
Bank, demanding 10000, and
also to A. K. Johnson threaten
ing the life of his little daughter.
1t is sincerely hoped some clue
will be discovered to the authors
of these anonymous scare-head
documents.
Vivian Ackerman, a so-called
clairvoyant aud life reader, this
week succeeded in fleeing scores
of the women of Shreveport out
of several thousands of dollars.
When he had secured the ducats
he mysteriously disappeared.

Post ONCE Receipts.

Tie post Office receipts are a
splendid index to the growth and
Importance of town and city.
Through the kindness of post
master E. Eagles the following
figures of the gross receipts and
their steady increase furnish some
insight into the growth of in po-
pulation and business activity of
this constantly advancing center
of industry.
These tabulated receipts are as
follows: 1905, $3,069:7S; 1906,
s4,66S:22; 1908, s6.259:4S.. The
receipts for February were s403:
IS IN 1907, and s575:57 in 1908.
These statistics are not only
highly gratifying, but the index
of the steady and rapidly deve-
looping progress of Winfield as a
future city of Importance in
North Louisiana and destined to
play a conspicuous part in deve-
lopment of this section of the
state.

Death by Old Ace.

The theory Of Metchinkoff that old
age results from poisoning by bacteria
in the colon, and may be avoided by
certain rules of diet, is not supported
by the studies of Prof. H. Ribbert,
director of the Pathological Institute
at Bonn. Death from old age is due
to anatomical changes, atrophy of the
nerve cells, and these changes are an
inevitable result of the physico- chem
fcal course OF living matter No proof
of special effect of diet is obtainable.
The most careful inquiry shows the
meat-eater as likely to become CEN
tenarian as the vegetarian, and the use
of tobacco or alcohol signifies little.
The chief factors In long life appear
TO be descent from long-lived stock

Carrots a cure-AII for Babies.

One would scarcely think OF feeding

act as an intestinal antiseptic. In all

excellent results are reported The
