NUMBER II
The MARBLE QUARRY
RAILROAD ASSURED
The Elusive Problem of Years
Now Anchored in
Certainty.

Messrs. J. +. Coleman, chief
engineer, and Sam Young. assist
ant. representing the Southern
Mineral and Land Company, let
the contract for the building of
the Marble Quarry Railroad from
winfield to the quarry. a dis
tance of five miles west of town,
to MIR. M. Tansey. The Compal Y
furnishes Mr.. Tansey with the
right of way and the steel and he
is to deliver to them a completed
railroad track, so that the COM
pany can Immediately equip it
with engines and rolling stock to
place their crushers and hoists on
the ground to com mence op er
atiOns.
Mr.. Tansey Is to commence the
work as soon as he can move his
force on the ground, a part of
which is now on the Rochelle
branch of the fremont 6 Gulf
Railway. The fact that he has
the contract is a guarantee to the
public that he will do the work as
fast rs money and men can accom-
plish 1t.
We are proud to make this an
nouncement. Twenty-Five years
ago when we re-established this
paper here in Winfield, one of
our first editorials was on the re-
sources of Winn parish, the mar
BILE quarry was one of the prin-
cipal resources mentioned. We
are indeed proud to know that
this mine of wealth is to be devel-
oped. some of which will be dis
tributed, so that all will receive q
share. Besides there are other
hidden treasures in this section,
this development will disclose and
prove, as has been our contention
all the time, that we have the best
country in the world. All we
need is development.

Harrell--Wright.

On Thursday afternoon, July
30th, 1908, Mrs. S. A. Wright
announced the engagement of
her beautiful and accomplished
daughter. Pearl, to Mr.. Edwin
Benjamin Harrell of Mlnden, now
valued employee of the Grant
Land and Lumber Company, to
a party of friends.
Miss Wright is one of the
leaders of society in our little
city, and should their wishes be
consulted, they would reluctantly
give their consent. for ut this
time the loss seems one of the
greatest. She and the fortunate
young man who has won her have
the wishes of their scores of
friends that their future may be
one of entire sunshine, in which
The Sentinel heartily joins.
The wedding will take place in
the fall of this year.

with the rain and clouds outside.
and judging from the peals of
laughter, no one invaded Mother
Goose's realms bringing any of
the gloom from without. The

the keynote of the situation.
Everywhere suggestions of Mother
Goose greeted the eye.
The pxrIor, reception ball and
