a GEORGIA paper tells of an old
gentleman in Greensborough who has
a daughter, one who for the purposes
of this story is radiently beautiful.
This fair being has a lover who, ac-
cording to the usual custom, is young
man. This young man did not find
favor in the eyes of the old man, who
not only refused his consent, but re-
marked that he wasn't goin' to have
no young fellow snoopin' around after
his gal. and there was an old shotgun
in the house ready to prove it, And
just here came in the boycott as the
champion of the lovers. The young
men Of the town, hearing of the affair,
have determined to boycott the old
man until he recognizes the demands
Of organized love, and allows the wed

IT seems that the editors composing
the State Press Association have de-
cided to accept the dead head court
estes of certain hotel managers at a
summer resort in the Eastern part of
the State. THE SENTINEL was under
the impression that a resolution was
passed by the Waynesville convention
a year or two ago, pledging the asso-
citation against the acceptance of invi-
tations from hotel managers who de.
niand no pay for board, but who anx-
iously expect considerable gratuitous
advertising. 1t would appear that
this wise action Of the Waynesville
convention had sunk into oblivion.

There was q reunion at the Louisiana Hotel,
Saturday, of Messrs. Montgomery and Bettys,
lucky holders Of Capital Prize tickets in The

whose combined wealth only a short time ago
was only few hundred dollars; now it reach

they drew, respectively, in the drawings Of
April, 1884, and, November, 1888, Mr.. Mont

that he raised q good crop last year, consisting
of 10000 pounds of tobacco, for which he has

of corn; and from two bushels of new variety
Of oats (Which he procured in Philadelphia)

OF the value of these oats may be formed, when

our EIGHT PAGE SHAPE.

THE SENTINEL feels gratifed at the
avalanche of letters and postals it has
received from its readers, making fav-
orable comment on the recent change
from four page to an eight page pa
per, Not single unfavorable opinion
ha. been expressed SO far as we have
heard. Subscriptions are pouring in
at a gratifying rate, and within the
past week we have entered up 80 new
names. This is a dull season and a
newspaper is luxury; that is, some
thing, which when cit comes to the
PINCH" as the saying goes, can be dis
pensed with; therefore the increase in
thu circulation of the paper is all the
more gratifying to us.
Many of our subscribers in the
country and throughout the State are
taking an active interest in aiding us
to increase our audience of readers.
Clubs of two, three, FIVE, ten and often
more are sent In and no county has
come to the front, in this respect, more
theoretically than Chatham, and at
every postofice of which THE SENTI-
MEL is now read. Alamance, Person,
Randolph, Caswell, and Granville
come next in order, while Forsyth al
ready pretty well supplied with SEN
TINELs, is enrolling new names. Ten
subscriptions have been put on our
city list the past week, and our list in
Salem has been reinforced by twelve
recruits. This, for "hard times" is
pretty fair showing, we take it, and
only gives gentle hint as to the hold
the old SENTINEL has ON the people,
and what hard work and strict appli-
cation to business can and will do.

THE FREEDOM OF ELECTIONS.

If Knights of Labor or the Farms
ers alliance or any other body of citi-
zens see fit to nominate candidates fer
Office, such action does not curtail the
freedom of other voters to nominate
and vote for such other candidate as
they please. Elections will still re-
main as free to every citizen as before
There may be reasons why those
bodies should avoid action as political
parties, but to argue that nominations
by them would be an infringement
upon freedom of elections is ridicu-
lous. and as much as to say that all
party action is such Infringement.
Masses of citizens, feeling that they
have sense enough to vote. but not
finding any existing party to have
put up the men they would prefer to
vote for, exercise tFeir judgment as
citizens in any combinations they make
TO nominate and vote for new candi-
dates, instead Of choosing between men
who would neither of them be salts
factory. M
The first requirement Of the voter is
TO have a candidate he can be satisfied
to vote for. If existing political or
ssssnizations do not satisfy this demand
it is not unnatural for bodies of labor
ing men to improvise new parties and
make nominations.
1t may be bad policy. but citizens
are the judges of what they shall do
in lawful combination to get them
selves represented on issues Of their
preference. Existing parties must
stand Oh their merits. The field is
free for new ones.

CONCERNING MIR. REID.

Editor goshen, of the Republican
hobs up serenely with the sugges.
tionthat the Grand Jury in For
syth county, canvass the propriety
of inquiring into the alleged financial
transactions of Alr. JAMES w. REID
formerly Treasurer of Rockingham
county, who, while holding that office
had occasion to borrow money from
the Wachcvia Bank of this city, said
loan being claimed by Mr.. Reds
friends to have been authorized by the
County Commissioners.
Probably if Editor goshen was sin
capable of being biased by political
considerations az he believes the
Grand Jury to be, he might long ago
have thrown flood of light on the
WHEELER Revenue Corruption,
In this case as in Mr.. Reds ''the
people want only the facts" THE
SENTINEL likewise desires to know
the true inwardness of the matter,
and our columns are open to Mr.
REID to lay the transaction in an
honest, candid manner before the
people. In justice to himself and his
friends, this should be done.

The efforts that are made from time
to time to give our readers new at
fractions cost money and we look to
them for the "wherewithaP, to defray
these extra expenses. Notwithstand-
ing this has been a very dull year,
The SENTINEL is to be congratulated
upon the promptness with which it's
patrons have come forward and paid
their subscriptions. There are still a
few who have neglected this impor-
tant duty either from force of eircum-
stances in some cases, and others from
force of habit. These readers are
just as warm friends of The SENTI-
MEL as the more systematic ones, and
can at almost any time cancel their
arrears. 1t is our desire that all our
subscribers stand ON the same footing,
and to bring ABOUT this result, we
make the following offer:
We will peesent one of our hand
some Autograph crayons of Governor
SCALES to every subscriber who be-
tween now and the LIST of July pays
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 an
rears, and it vii. allow US to expend
more time and money and energy in
improving THE SENTINEL, and max
ing it even more popular newspaper
than its present increase In circulation
would justify us in believing it to be.
