A CHAT WITH OUR suBscRrBRns

A CHAT WITH OUR SUBSCRIBE ERS.
In changing the form of The SEN
TINEL from an eight column folio to
six column quarto, we are enabled
to give to our readers, without increase
Of the subscription price, nearly, if not
fully, twelve columns of matter in ex-
cess Of what we formerly furnished.
We trust that the change will meet
with the appreciation of our readers
and for the purpose of ascertaining
their views on the subject, we respect
fully request that each subscriber drop
us postal and express his OF her opin-
ion as to the change.
Sometime in the future it is our de-
sire to have folding machine, which
will enable us to present the paper
with the pages nicely cut and pasted.
Now one word regarding finances
We have many interesting features in
store for our readers, by whose. sub
stantial encouragement we are being
aided in making The WEEKLY SEN
TINEL not merely local paper, but a
North Carolina journal ranking with
any rival in point of interest, influence
and circulation. The efforts that are
made from time to time to give our
readers new attractions cost money
and we look to them for the A"where-
withal' to defray these extra ex-
penses. Notwithstanding this has
been very dull year, THE SENTINEL
is to be congratulated upon the
promptness with which its patrons
have come forward and paid their
subscriptions. There are still few
who have neglected this important
duty either from force of circumstance
in some cases, and others from force
of habit. These readers are lust as
warm friends of The SENTINEL as the
more systematic ones, and can at al
most any time cancel their arrears. 1t
is our desire that all OF our subscrib-
ers stand on the same footing and to
bring about this result, we make the
following offer.
We will present one of our hand
some Autograph crayons of Governor
SCALES to every subscriber who be-
tween now and the LIST of July paws
up to January LIST, 1887. We want
to begin the new year Of 1887 with
clean books and we make this early
start to do it. After each account is
settled up to January LIST, it will be
no difficult matter for all OF our sub
scribers to make their annual payment
henceforward as they become due. By
this adherance to business method. we
Will be relieved of the unpleasant task
of reminding our readers of their ar
rears, and it will allow us to expend
npre time and money and energy in
THE SENTIN and max
ng lteven more popular newspaper
han Its present increase in circulation
would Justify us in believing it to be.

A Gentle Stimulus

Is impaired to the kidneys and bladder by
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, which is most
useful in overcoming torpidity OF these or
gans. Besides infusing more activity into
them, this excellent tonic endows them with
additional vigor, and enables them the better
to undergo the wear and tear OF discharging
functions imposed upon them by nature.
Moreover, as they are the channel for the es-
cape of certain impurities from the blood, in
creases their usefulness by strengthening and
BEAUTIFULLY stimulating them. In certain
morbid conditions of these important organs,
they fall into sluggish state, which is the u.s.
ual precursor OF disease. What then can be
of greater service than medicine which i'm
pels them to greater activity when slothful:
No maladies are more perilous than those
which affect the kidneys. and n medicine
which averts the peril should be highly es-
taempd

people in the vicinity by her long sleeps,
is dead. She was fifteen years old. Her
first long sleep was three weeks ago,
when she slumbered sixfy-six hours.
Then she was thought TO be dead. Her
last and fatal sleep began nine days ago
and ended Friday. She begged those
about her not to let her 60 to sleep, but
they could not relieve her of the drow-
siness which took possession of her and
all efforts to waken her were useless.
The doctors say she starved to death
