NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE.
From, the Wades6sro Iateiligeacer.
THE SENTINEL, published at Wins
ton, n. c., by Edward A. Oldham,
Esq, came to US last in proportions
which excited our highest admiration
and a certain degree of envy-envy
because We cannot get up anything
like it. 1t is an eight page sheet,
eight columns to the page, and is just
little-aye, a good dtal-ahead
of anything in the newspaper line
that We ever saw come from a town
the size of Winston. The first page
contains an almost life size por
trait of President Cleveland, the sec
ond page is embellished with the por-
traits of Clevcland's cabinet, and the
sixth and seventh pages with portraits
of Gov. Scales, Lieut.. Gov. Stedman,
and the n. C. delegation in Congress.
There are Al columns of reading mat
ter and such advertisements of the
Winston business houses that it al
most makes one dizzy to contemplate
them. As sample of Southern push
and enterprise, THE SENTINEL is en-
titled to the palm bat back of all
this look fer the cause in the enter
pfising spirit of a community which
has heen made wealthy and prosper
Gus by the tobacco industry.
JOURNALISTIC ENTERPRISE.
From Ms Asherille Citizen.
Our young friend of the Winston
Sentinel, one of the youngest of the
North Carolina editorial fraternity,
but with an energy and enterprise
that shames the oldest of us, has fav-
ored us with copy of his illustrated
iss,;c which isa rt,of.aethent of industry
enterprise and intelligence as remark
able for the Intelligent capacity that
seized upon the idea that community
is but the magnified by the labors of
the press. Honor is due to Mr.. Old
ham for carrying out his idea in SO
liberal and tasteful a way. We hope
the enterprise will redown as much to
his profit as it undoubtedly has to his
credit.
ENTERPRISE IN JOURNALISM.
From the Henderson Gold Lsgf.
The progressive young editor Of
The Sentinel displayed most praise
worthy spirit of enterprise in journal
ism, in the publication of this issue
but Oldham is nothing if rot enter
prising. The reading matter for the
most part is original and fresh, writ
| ten expressly for the paper and alto
gethcr Brother O. reflects credit moi
only upon himself but upon North
Carolina journalism in the stroke O.
enterprise displayed in its get up
May he continue to prosper In pro
portion as he r.erits.

The Sentinel shows highly commend
