While we have published the fig ures in September, 1906, many who saw them then have forgot ten and many have never seen them. The assessment as given out by R. L. Jackson, the assessor, in 1883. and 1884 for the entire parish of Winn is as follows: Total assessment, 1883, g485.465 " ." 1884, 5o8.oo5 . ." 19o6, 4,80o.2Oz . . 19o07. 5.321.398 Total assessment City of W'inn field, 1907, 505o8,oo0. These figures look unreasonable but they are copied from the of ficial records. The first brick business house was built in 19go. There were but three business houses in Winnfield in 1883-M. Bernstein, S. M. Brian and Dr. J. F. Kelly; one hotel, two law offices and two physicians. Winnfield has now two banks with a combined capital and sur plus of about Saoo,ooo; three drug stores which are as nicely fitted up in fixtures and fountains as are in any town in the State; two whole sae hardware and furniture stores both of whom handle undertakers goods and coffins; two up-to-date jewelry stores, fifteen general mer chandise stores with a combined capital of over $100,000, two livery stables, three blacksmith shops, eleven grocery stores, one exclu sive news stand, five hotel., The City, a three-story brick; the Com rade, the L. & A., the Norrid and the Valley, which are two-story frame buildings; one wholesale grocer and feed store, one Chinese laundry, one brick factory, capa city 35,000 per day; one machine shop and iron foundry, two car penter shops, one novelty wortks, three printing offices and three newspapers, The Southern Sen tinel, The Comrade and Union Banner and one magazine, The Guardian; seven restaurants, two millinery stores, three shoe shops, two dairies, two planing mills, one stave factory, one 4o-tou ice plant, one 400-drop telephoee plant, a market heose with two butcherll stals, ten attorneys-at-law, eight practicing phyldn, two ire I nrance .agendas, fe real estate I agtcies, three lksher and tiel wdp ýtwes.prem s companiesj eliWdhFau. and seothern. ber : e f ,th e l at t r h v i ng . t ý ( fil oe b-hers ad :que under I .mu.-ulim -,' Souther Mia mb Qwiv,.a , Web I jatae. pea ge tmias d* is w~w w r t" ` .of 4 r-j ý I _ I and puts town and four freight trains which carry passengers. Winnfield can now boast of two first class bakeries, and also four up to-date barber shops and two tailor shops. There are three church buildings and five organiz ed churches. A splendid city hall building, which includes an auditorium, a meat market, fire department and police jail, was built last year at a cost of about $5S,ooo. A water works plant is in course of con struction. On all of the business streets the sidewalks are cement concrete, six feet in width and curbed with same material. A creosoting plant is in course of erection and will be in operation in the next ten days. The public school attendance for the 1907-1908 session was 634 students, with twelve teachers. About thlee miles southeast of town two rigs are boring for oil. At the same place there is a splen did salt-water natatorium, lighted by natural gas, and individual baths heated by same gas. The population of Winnfield is in the neignborhood of 4,000, the best estimation that couid be given at this time. A teader of the daily journals of the present time would be lec to imagine that all the froth anc scum of society in general, and dire visitations of human casual. ties and scoura.ges were bubbling to the surface to proclaim the wickedness of the human family, Murder, arsor, rioting, accidents and calamities of every descrip tion are numerous, and there is a spirit of unrest prevailing through out the civilized world. The inventive genius of the American seems determined to keep in the van in the pro duction of wonderful modern ap pliances, even as he has proven victorious on land and sea, in athletic sports and in handling weapons. In solving the mystery of aerial navigation, Wright and Baldwin have come well to the tore, and are battling for suprcm acy with the German inventor, K. pperlin. Flying in the air is now almost an assured fact. In American politics the strong est candidate usually bears the brunt of the battle for supremacy. Adopting this rule, the candidacy of Wm. J. Bryan must be particu larly formidable. He now has the Republican. Independent and Populist candidates camping on bhis trail. This should be particu larly gratifying to the Domocracy as it indicates that Bqan is ex ceptioaalty strong with the masses of the American voters.

Catch ing cold. over eating, worry, lack of ex ercise, failure to answer promptly tho calls of nature, diseased or weakened system or strong medicines may cause it. The too common practice of taking salts. or pills or some such violent cathartic has always done more harm than good. They make the bowels act quickly and vio lently simply because they irritate them, and leave them In a worse condition than before What is needed is a mild easy herb lax ative, that gives regular daily move ments in all cases, yet does not pain or gripe, and which will strengthen the bow els and tone up the system instead of depleting It. Dr. Cadwell's Syrup Pepsin taken at night before going to bed will bring an easy pleasant natural movement In the morning even in.the most obstinate cases and without any bad effects. No pain, no gripe and it is so safe and pleasant to take, mothers 1rye it to their babies with splendid results. It is an aid to dl gestion and tones up the system as well as cures bowel trouble. Dr. L E. Covey. Savanakh. Tean., writes: "I get better results from it than any Pepsin I ever used." Dr. T. Jones, Osgood. Mo.. says: "I consider Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin the best of all laxatives." Mrs. Almon WIlls. Jamaica, VL, says: "I truly believe it saved my little boy's life." Rev. A. J. Fletcher, Rutherford. Tena., says: "I am 8 years old sad your Syrup Pepsin has cured me of dyspepala and bowel trouble." W. D. Jackson. Burns Statio. Tena.. says: "I was afflicted with constipation and dyspepels for nine years, and found no relief until I used Dr. Caldwell's Byrup Pepsin." All druggists sell it at S0c and $1.00 per bottle We are glad to send a free sample to any reader of this paper who has never used it and will give it a fair trial.
