REIDsvILLE, Feb. "A, 1S84.-From
strangers first entire into Reidsville,
he is sure to be favorably impressed
with it, not only as business centre
but also as pleasant place to take up
ones residence. 1t is splendid tobac-
co market. Several hundred thousand
dollars worth is sold here during the
year. Every few moments can be seen
wagons loaded with tobacco rolling
into the warehouses. The manufact-
urers are busy from "early morn till
dewy eve' buying up their stock for
the years work. The breaks Of to-
bacco at Courts & Andrews Ware
house have been marvelously large
and prices for all grades we'll sustain
ed and necessarily will continue SO
during the year.
Mr.. Walter l.. Blackwell is an ex-
perienced tobacco broker Parties
from a distance who desire the weed
to send him an order as he knows Just
what a tobacco leaf is. w. S. Allen
is another one of our live leaf dealers.
He has been Mayor of our city for
five years, which proves his being re-
liable.
Capt. A. J. Ellington's Opera House
was crowded on the 14th. There was
scarcely standing room. Blind Tom
with his magnificent performing was
with us. This is the place for first
class opera troups to make money, as
our people know how to appreciate
talent. Ours is one of the finest opera
houses in the State, and is magniti
Gently furnished.
Mr.. Henry E. Thomas and Charles
Slower have made "a discovery Of a
free gold deposit about ten miles from
Reidsville. Several specimens of the
rock show the gold as plainly as stars
in the heavens, and persons who pro
fess to know, say there is millions in
it. They now want some capitalist tc
come forward and help them out
White clay perfectly free from iron
county.
Miss Annie L. Hughes, preceptress
of the Reidsville Female Seminary is
well prepared to accommodate pupils
from a distance. She has fine edi
fee for educational purposes. Mis-:
Mamie Scoffin, Of Columbia, S. c., is
her assistant teacher. Miss Scoffir
comes highly recommended. She was
educated in London and speaks sew
eral languages fuently.
I've great liking for farmers. They
are the best men we have on earth
and deserve more attention than they
generally get. We love to wander
with them over their farms and heal
them talk about their crops. We love
to drink their good buttermilk anc
listen to their good wives tell of thei
COWS, chickens, and gardens. Nov
that we can tell them how to manu-
facture their own fertilizers at home
without spending SO much of thei
hardearnings, it is a pleasure to d.
SO. w. j. Courts, Of Reidsville, know
how to make fertilizer that can b.
made very cheaply. He sells farmer
rights for SO each.
In these days when every thing ant
every body moves by steam7 the only
way to keep from falling into the ut
terly forgotten things is by constan
study and by habitual, persistent ad
vertising There is so much vigorou
opposition and sharp competition tha
ones whereabouts will never be dis
covered unless ones name and busi
ness is kept before the public. 1t pay
to advertise not in the old way bu
in a thoroughly breezy, readable style
like we get up in the SENTINEL AM
which owing to its wide circulation i
republished from one sile Of the Uni
ted States to the other. People fine
out the good qualities that way, an
come among the owners thereof wit
capital. Those who subscribe for ou
paper are apt to have the warmes
place in our estimation just as Mahon
says, 1--WE are for Arthur becaus
Arthur is for U.S." RAMBLER.
