agricultural methods. Not only
is there an active demand for
more improved implements. but a
teverish anxiety to seek the bes,
channels for cultivation and
information relative to soil and the
most prolific plants that will
secure the best results. There
never has been witnessed in the
South a more active enquiry
about the cultivation of the soil
and raising stock and fowls on the
farms.
1t is readily admitted that there
is no better plan for exchanging
farming experience and exl hitting
the most satisfactory results than
the establishment of annual parish
tairs. Here are gathered and
displayed all the varied products
of the soil. in every neighborhood
and upon every farm. These not
only portray the different soil
conditions, but also the best
methods adopted and the seed and
products best adapted to specific
localities.
These displays also afford
ample and splendid opportunities
for the farmers to interchange
ideas. and thus disseminate
valuable information as to in
telligent methods of culture.
There is no finer school for the
dissemination of agricultural ideas
than these annual parish fairs,
In this respect the energetic
and industrious farmers of Winn
are behind their neighbors in
displaying the products of their
toll and in following the
experience and intelligen
experiments of their fellow farm
CTS in diversification and the
departure from old ways entailed
by the presence of boil weevil.
Now that an awakened interest
has been aroused in agricultural
development it is sincerely hoped
that the prominent cultivators OF
Winn parish soil, and the active
and interested business men OF
Winfield will inaugurate proceed
ings looking to the establishment
of an annual parish fair in this
town. The object lessons thus
displayed would be of incalculable
benefit TO all parties in interest as
well as the people at large. and
attract attention to the vacant and
| unpr6table cut-over lands, that
| now lie in uncultivated areas all
over the parish.
Properly titled here is as pro.
ductive land as the Southern SIN
ever kissed with its fruciifyine
beams. and it needs only the
steady hand of industry and i'm
proved methods to make it bios
som with plenty and bloom with
the fruits Of mans best endeavor
This is a land of promise anc
plenty, and it carries in It's bosom
the treasures of wealth and abund
ance. 1t is awaiting the touch oil
intelligent cultivation to RESPOND
with its sweetest smile. and empty
the horn of plenty into the lap.
of a thrifty and industrious peo'
pie.
Is it not worth an organized
feffortr Will some thoughtfu
Ihenefactor of his fellow-men in,
augurate an enterprise that viii
rebound to his own praise and the
good and improvement of others,
tits worth a trial. Now is the
golden opportunity to set it in
motion. Let it be agitated. The
Sentinel will gladly and cheerfully
publish any opinions or sugges-
tons looking to the consummation
of such an admirable and bene6-
cial enterprise.

This is the first attempt that has

on first class and sanitary principles
and after being fitted UP in a manner
that will lack in nothing as far as COM
fort in the mountains is concerned, 1t
will be- one of the finest of it's kind
ever established in the northwest. Camp
chairs, hammocks, etc, will be sup
piled in abundance and as it is the in
tention to secure a location near some

an ENJOYABLE summer will be given in

has been increasing since the visit of

More or less constant practice in the

prove the undoing of a number of

when taken to police headquarters he
gave the names of those who had, for
several weeks past, been smuggling

Twentysix bottles were stolen last
night and cached away prior to the

Mrs Mabel Herbert Urner'S Sensational Success "The
Journal of Neglected Wife, Replete With HUI
man Interest and Thrilling Narrative.

Following its sensational success IN
book form. 1.-THE Journal OF Neglected
Wife" will be published seriaily in the
washington Times beginning April H.
Rarely has a book created such
furore as Mabel Herbert Urne-'s story
It's details are gripping, and, from the
instant the story starts. one begins TO
live the sensations so graphiSally pic
tured by the sorrowing wife
The story is told in the form OF
diary-a form which has been abused
I'm many instances, but Mrs. Urner
utiIizes these records in a way which
brings the story even closer TO the
reader than any other explanatory form
could possibly accomplish.
One of the principal characteristics OF
the book is its absorbing interest from
the very beginning. 1t Is the sort of
story that one cannot put down when
once it has been begun. Each chapter
brings out new truths and draws the
veil farther way from the heart whose
anguish and whose sufferings form the
| basis of the story. Whether The Jour-
nal az a Neglected Wife" literally re-
cords the life story of some woman has
not been made known. but Mrs. Urner
/ has come so close to human nature In
+! the outlining of her characters and the
| detail of her story that one Is almost
| compelled to believe that some one has
actually lived through the series OF
| crises which come to the chief character
/ in the story.
