JOURNALS"
From the Western Tobacco Journal, Cincinnati.
The Winston, IN. CO. Sentinel of
the 9TH is a large trade issue, con-
tanning SO columns, most Of which is
devoted to notices of the principal
business enterprises of the twin cities
of Winston and Salem. 1t is hand
somely printed and illustrated and a
very interesting issue and is especially
credltable to so young man as Mr.:
Edward A. Oldham, its editor and
proprietor, who has hardly passed a
quarter of century of his allotted
life, which promises to be most bril-
liant and successful one, considering
the eminence he has already attained
through the Sentinel, one of the best
edited papers in North Carolina and
probably ole OF the most successful
enterprises in the field of journalism
of that State. To Mr.. Oldham and
his push and pluck, Winston is large
ly indebted and her wide awake busi-
ness community appreciate him is ev-
idenced from the patronage bestowed
upon the Sentinel generally, and the
issue Of the 18th in particular. The
Leaf Tobacco and Manufacturing
Trade, who constitute very large
portion of the business community of
Winston are largely represented in
this issue.

largest edition, with possibly one ex-

snre for it prosperous and brilliant

be termed blanket sheet and while

that the proprietor encouraged tht

employment in the preparation OF hi
mammoth edition.
