to see. who could make the vet
Grams enjoy the trip most.
The convention met on Friday
morning and the report of the
committee on credentials showed
AZ camps entitled to representa-
ton, but only seventeen camps
represented. Some of the largest
and wealthiest camps in the or
ganization failed to send delegates.
Of course, no legal business could
be transacted, because, under the
constitution, it takes msjority
of the camp to form a quorum.
A cOncensus OF opinion was taken
that the quorum should be-
reduced to ten and an effort to
have that adopted will be made
at the national reunion at Mem
phis i'm May.
An invitation was extended by
the Ouachita Guards to visit their
armory and partake of a Dutch
supper. All of the old boys were
on hand at the appointed time.
A ball was given by the sons and
daughters in the hall of the Elks
lodge. who kindly kept open
house to the veterans, and at
nine O'Clock the hall was opened
and handsomely gowned ladies
arrived. BY $3.50 the Red Men $
band struck up the grand march
and the old veterans were select
ed as partners. The march was
led by General Castleman and
Mrs. Jessie Saddler, president of
the Monroe chapter, after which
dancing was commenced and
many of the old veterans showed
that they too could trip the light
fantastic toe.
We can not close this without
mentioning the fact that the
chl;dren's organizations. ''Chil-
dren of Dixie" and confederate
Jasmines", contributed largely to
the success of the reunion. The
pages of The Sentinel would be
too small to give the credit to all
who lent q hand.

Honor the Mayor, we made a trip
to the oil fields. near the city, in

visited the Central Oil Co. s plant

lion gallons of water per day,
making a creek and to find
strong flow of gas at the same
place coming up with the water.
We next visited the Pace Oil we'll
plant where We found Supt. Sim
mons putting on a new bit to
tackle what we believe to be the
cap rock. The odor of sulphur
could be smelled before reaching
the plant. The flow of black

both oil and sulphur. We have
always had great faith in this

The Tax Rolls.

A number of citizens have
called on Assessor Durham and
the sherIff's Office to pay their
taxes. They have failed to do so
owing to the delay caused in the
adjustment of the rolls by the
board of equalization. Assessor
Durham is now busily engaged
in adjusting the rolls and expects
to have them ready fer use by
November /. Winn Parish is not
alone in this respect, as other
parish rolls have been similarly
delayed, owing to the difficulty
in adjusting the amounts in a
number of parishes that have
suffered from overflow, timber
land disputes and other causes.

highlands naval estimates for the cor.
rent year to $l6l, 597. 500, though 81
$4,000 greater than in 1907, is re-
garded IS an important victory for the
economist element in Parliament.
The fight for larger cum ragged all
last week and ended with a reduction
of 81, 500, 900 from the figures in the
original draft. The present allowance
is considered tolersbly satisfactory, how
ever, by all but the extreme jlugoisis,
provided the economy is only temporary.
The governments declaration that the
navy's standard relatively to other
powers will be maintained is accepted
as meaning that the hall is to continue
only for a year while Germsny's in
tentious sre closely watched.
The 1909 programme will depend ca
tirely On Grrmsny. II that country
carries out its present plans, England
will reply by laying down at least six

The estimates are expected TO pass

agreed the government cannot last day
