RAILWAY TRAFFIC TO
AND FROM WINFIELD
one Reason Why This Town
Grows and Thrives as a
Business Center.

Very few residents have any
conception of the extent of the
railway traffic-passenger and
freight-ln and out of Winfield,
daily and weekly. Through the
courtesy of Messrs. W. G. Hol-
lister Of the Rock Island, A.
Mead of the fremont & Gulf. b.
+. Martin of the Louisiana K
Arkansas, W. G.. Holt Of the
Louisiana Railway and NavIga-
ton Company, local freight and
traffic agents, it has been ascer-
tanned that there are daily ar
irving and departing from this
point Is passenger, 2 mixed and
20 freight trains. This will give
some conception of the amount
of freight and passengers con-
centrating at this point daily.
weekly and monthly. and this is
at season of the year when
there is a lull in traffic and a
shortage occasioned by the
present financial troubles. This
traffic will materially increase
when the business season opens
and the Fall and Winter trade
regain their normal conditions.
From the lst to the 10th of
the pr, sent month there have ar
rived aud departed from VIM
field ABB freight and passenger
trains with their loads of persons
anG goods from all parts of the
country. The registers of the
hotels show that there are people
visiting Winfield from all the
great business emporiums of the
land, representing business In
tercsts of every character, and
of investors examining the facil-
tiles, surroundings and conditions
of Il locality that has already
achieved an enviahle reputation
abroad. This too IN n town that
has achieved IA wonderful growth
in a short span OF years; that ha,
grown from village of three
hundred to a population of 1000
active and energetic inhabitants
and is rapidly climbing into the
proportions of Il city, and is vel
in the tremors of a wonderful
development. Its growth and in
dustry is marching steadily
onward with solid footballs thai

promise.
