good enough to give the following:
The Weekly Sentinel, published at
Winston, N. c., by the well known
journalist, Edward A. Oldham, is a
notable instance of the prosperity
that is being evidenced by the South
ern newspapers. Its progress has
been marked .and rapid. From an
obscure country weekly Of less than
400 circulation, it has become in less
than three years, a handsome South
ern weekly news and story paper of
over 1000 circulation.

ACROSTIC SONNET.
By M.

Beauty and grace will ever cling to thee,
In countless ways these charms will growth
deriye;
Rich purity within thy soul will thrive,
Destroying all the germs of sophistry;
Infinite love will flourish ever free,
EmanGpabed from that selfishness
HsArts plastic with lust's ravshing impress
Are subject to in pride and jealousy;
Rare wit and wisdom will suffice to show
Virtues their subtle arts cannot adorn.
II can be then but doubly vain for men
Lacking the gilt of languages easy flow,
Learning and style which only can be born
Pen in these humble lines To sing of thee.

Charlotte Cayorsele.
The following from the Danville
Register is to the point, and expresses
The SENTINEL's views to dot.
The editors are to blame. There
are cheap newspapers and cheap law
yers and doctors. People soon learn
to estimate a service by what it costs.
If newspapers would stop the abomi-
rable practice of promiscuous and
gratuitous putting" and make peo-
pie pay fair price for their advertis-
ing, they would command more re-
spect and make more money out of
their investment. Newspapers do
enough gratuitous work for the pub
lie at large, without being called on
to push Individuals and their private
business into prominence tor sweet
charity's sake. As for the Register
we are always ready to advance the
interest of the community we repre-
sent and we never lose an opportunity
to advertise Danville and the country
round about, but when we advertise a
mans individual business, we charge
him for our services and we find all
reasonable men, willing TO pay us a
reasonable fee

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The annual communication of the
President to the Congress, which ap-
peared, in part, in last issue of The
SENTINEL and is concluded in this
is a comprehensive and exhaustive
state paper 1t is quite generally COM
plimented by the press of the country
for its ability, wisdom, thoroughness
and decision. Its Democracy cannot
be gainsaid and as strong party
document, it will have good effect
among the people, who take the time
to read it carefully.
The main body of the paper is
founded upon the special inquiries
and suggestions of the heads of the
various departments who compose
Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet, shewsng his
close supervision of the general funct-
ions of an economical and efficient
government, and an entire harmony
of administrative politics
To those matters the discussion of
which pertains particularly to the ex-
ecutive head of the 'nation-our for
eign relations, the fisheries, boundary
lines commercial, extradition and copy
right treaties, the tariff, the coinage,
pensions, civil service and the govern
mont of the District of Columbia-Mr.
CLEVELAND devotes more personal
and profound attention.
His apparent leaning towards free
trade is hailed with much delight by
the free trade wing of the Democracy
Almost as important as his tariff
recommendations are the President
views on the relations of capital and
labor.
This model message of the Presi-
dent leaves the opposition press al
most without an opportunity to sue
cesstully criticise its political senti-
mentS,
