With this number, begins
the third volume Of the SEM
TINEL, TO which fact we called
the attention Of our friends
and patrons in our last issue.
In pursuance of the intention
which we announced at that
time. we issue to-day an ex-
ira large edition, and send
copies to many Of our people
whose names do not appear
at present on our subscription
list, but who we have reason
to believe are heartily WITH Us
in the purpose of establishing,
upon a firm and permanent
basis, an organ of the Demo-
cratic Conservative party in
their midst. To such Of
our friends we would say,
that their failure to return the
paper to us will be an evil
dence of their desire to he
come enrolled among our sub
scribers, and we shall accord
ingly place their names upon
our subscription book.
We are duly mindful of,
and grateful for, the assistance
and patronage that the peo-
pie of West and East Felici>
ana have favored us with du-
ring the past two years, and
we are particularly apprecia-
tive of the earnest and active
exertions in our behalf ex-
tended by several staunch
and steadfast friends of our
enterprise, and we hope we
have proven worthy of the in
terest they have evinced; yet
we would remind them, one
and all, that upon THEIR sup
port in the future depends
the sustenance of a paper
published in the interests of
it's people. They are remind
ed that the high rates for Ju-
dicial and Official printing,
which SUSTAINED radical pa
pers. inimical to the interests
of the people, have been cut
down to such a figure as to
throw Democratic journals
that struggled, wholly upon
their individual resources
through the corrupt days of
the radical REGIME, upon the
liberality of the PEOPLE in
whose interests they labor.
The SENTINEL enters how
ever, upon another year of its
usefulness with 70 misgiyings.
Never were it's prospects
brighter,-never were its
friends more appreciative of
it's ]abors in their behalf. For
ourselves, we will add only,
that our best energies shall be
bent during the future which
is opening up to us; to the ad-
vancement Of the interests and
the vindication of the rights
of our people. WITHOUT FEAR

Feliciana sentinel., 1878-06-29

THIS GIN has been in use for the past
five seasons, and several recent improve
ments have been added. II obviates all
friction at the ends of the cotton box,
prevents the roll from breaking, and
rives'LARGER YIELD OF LINT FROM
THE SAME AMOUNT OF SEED THAN
ANY OTHER GIN IN USE. The Revol.
wing Head lightens the drift, and causes
the gin to run faster with less driving
power, thus doing great deal more
work within the same time, while ecOno-
mizing steam or animal power, than any
other gin. The seed being ginned very
close, the length of the staple is increas-
ed. producing cotton on this account of Il
greater market value. This improved
value, given by length of staple, with eN-
ira production of lint, added to increas-
cd amount of work done, more than COW

saicide Of Eben Ill. PIunim er.

Saturday evening about 6 o'clock as Mr..
Berry Media was crossing Rocky Hill woods
near Morrill's Corner he discovered a bloody
coat and gun which very naturally greatly
alarmed him. Calling Mr.. William Leighton
the two began to search for the CAUSE of the
mysterious looking articles, and they soon
discovered man lying on the ground with his
head and face so horribly disfgured that it was
some time before they ascertained who it was.
Careful examination revealed the fact that it
was Mr.. Eben M. Plummer who resided near
Morrill's Corner, and there was no doubt but
what he had made an ate mpt to take his life.
The gun found near him was doable barreled
and there had been two shots fred in his right
ear, the charges passing out through his left
temple. He was taken to his hCme at once in
an unconscious condition and DR.. Greene was
sent for. He was however beyond the aid of
medical skill and died in few hours. His
face was terribly mutilated by the shot.
Mr. Plummer has been depressed in spirits
of late and has often spoke of feeling very
blue. He was about SO years of age and
leaves wife and two children.

immortality.

Mr. EDITORIALS it has been publicly an.
nounced that "the man who buys and reads a
newspaper on Sunday is an immoral man.
and being one of that class myself 1 ask that
you give space to these few lines regarding the
subject.
Which is the greater sin, to purchase and
read newspaper on Sunday, the work on IL
being nearly all done during the secular days
OF the week, or to purchase and read Monday
morning a newspaper on which nearly all the
work is done during the Sabbath? Aud does
any Christian man or minister hesitate for one
moment to read his Monday morning paper
from fear of being immoral? think not.
poor mechanic who is obliged to work or
starve during the working days, halls with joy
the pleasant sunshine of a summer Sabbath.
and with the boarded savings of week-per-
hapstwo weeks perhaps a month even-he can
take his invalid wife out into Gods green
fields, away from the hot, dusty city streets to
where the pure country air refreshes and reno
Yates the whole system, and while they look up
into the blue sky and watch the feeoy clouds
sail along, their hearts swell with-what if not
thanks to the Giver of all good? And yet it is
claimed that this man and woman are immoral
and are performing immoral acts, while they
are striving to benefit bodily health and every
thought il full of praise to God for the oppor-
tunity. To be sure they do not fall upon their
knees and tell God that He made the earth,
and the land, and the sea, and call that in
them is,' but they do as surely thank God in
their souls, as ever prayer was uttered.
Perhaps some one would suggest that they
should attend church instead Of doing this,
but they cannot afford to do SO; they have q
certain degree of pride which will not permit
them to be looked upon as unsuitsbly dressed
for public worship, and being unable financially
to shield themselves from a suspicion of ridi-
cule they prefer to absent themselves entirely.
A certain class are compelled to break the
Sabbath, if newspaper reading be taken as a
criterion; the wealthy man who keeps his car
rage berates his boster because on Sunday
morning the hair on his span does not lay sleek
enough, or the silver on the harnesses does not
have the usual polish,-the man must do it on
Sunday or lose his place; and even Bridget is
debarred from having her "Sunday OUT that
the master may have a roast beef dinner after
preaching his morning sermon.
Now some may say 1 am ridiculous, but il 1
am, try and convince yourself that there are
such things as ridiculous facts.
An Indian brought before the Puritanic
Governor of Plymouth, was punished for shoot
ing deer on the Sabbath, but as the deer was
very fat and nice, it was allowed to be served
up with caper sauce for the Governors table.
A silent thanksgiving to God from the heart
is worth more, believe, than prayer half
hour long. G. r. W.
