A New Grocery Store with a New Stock and New Prices and what is left to find out is how these HIGH CLASS GROCERIES can be sold so cheap. The only way this can be done is, first buy your own building so you will have no rent to pay and second, buy in big lots and pay cash. In doing this you get FROM I TO5 PER CENT OFF That is why I can afford to sell my High Class and Fancy Groceries so much cheaper than any one else in my line in our little town of Wintfield. All I ask of you is to come and see for yourself. I don't ask you to buy if you do not wish to, but I want the chance of showing you what money you save by buying from the now store. Where is the New Store? NEXT DOOR TO WINN PARISH BANK Si. B. Spangler Telephone iS -:- * -:- Free Delivery NEEDS OUR SYMPATHY "Knocker is Born that Way" and is to be Pitied Rather Than Cenmared. The "Knocker" who operates in our own midst does not differ in any respect from his kind the world over. Here, as elsewhere, he is found in high places and in low places, and, of all people, he is the greatest impediment to the progress of his town, though he appears to live in absolute ignor ance of this fact. He is born into the world like all other folk, but is specially marked in that he cannot help opposing every movement, no matter how meritorious, of which he is not the author even though he is never known to lead in any movement himself. One day you will hear him "knocking" the good roads, movement. another day he may be heard "knocking" . the Lafa yette-Baton Rouge railroad, the new high school building, or pos sibly, the sanitarium project. Somebody proposes a reform that the "knocker" readily ad mits is greatly needed, but he will nevertheless argue against it because other reforms are needed just as hadly as this one, he will tell you, and, consequently, if we do not have other reforms we should not have this one. And that is the way he reasons out everything to his own sweet satia In meason and out of season the "kuocker" keeps busy criticising this person or that thing, never with a view to helping but always for the purpose of hindering, and it never seems to enter his mind that if all other people thought and acted as he does, it would simply be impossible for the world to make any headway what ever. But we should remember that it is not through any fault of his own that the "knocker" thinks and acts in this strange way--he does it because he can not help himself, and for that reason he is deserving of pity and not condemnation. There is no doubt that the "knocker" would YOUR MONEY D.PJSITED IN THE WINN PARISH BANK Is a*brance of absolute safety, together with courtesy; no matter how small or how large your account may be.

In the meantime let us bear patiently with our brother and, in a spirit of sympathy, deal gently with the "knocker" in his affliction, and continue to help him prosper in spite of his streo uous efforts to the contrary. This is plainly our christian duty. -Lafayette Advertiser. Lightning Killecd a Preacher. While preaching to his congre gation Rev. J. B. Lentz, pastor of a Latter-Day Saints' church at Carson. Iowa, was struck by light ning, which caused his death within an hour. The bolt deo scended during a hard thunder storm and was communicated to the preacher by a chandelier hanging directly above his head. The ,hock threw him to the floor in an unconcious state, while many persons in the audience were partially stunned. Died at Colfax. W. H. Woodruff died at his home in Colfax last Sunday eve ning after a long illness with pneumonia. He was formerly a citizen of Winn parish, having lived for many years near At lanta.
