SAM. SMALL.
He Lectured In Winston Last Tuesday
Night.

Night.
Rev. Samuel W. Small, an evangelist and
temperance lecturer of national repute, de-
livered his celebrated lecture, ''From the
Bar Room to the Pulpit" at the Opera
House in this city last Tuesday night A
large audience greeted him, and they laugh
ed and cried to their hearts content.
Mr. Small spoke for two hours and a
half, and people were surprised, when they
looked at their watches, at the conclusion,
to find that it was II o'clock. He began
his lecture at $50.
The PREDATORY remarks consisted of an
slave to the liquor habit, extending over a
period of sew enteen consecutive years. His
struggles to throw off the shackles of intema
perance, the steadfastness with which his
loving wife chung to him, the influence ex-
erted over him in former years by his
sainted mother, and the pieadings of his
two little children, as depicted by him, were
pathetic in the extreme.
He then branched off into the humoristic
feature of his subject, and the eyes that
moment before were blinded with sympa-
thetic tears, shed the optical fluid freely,
produced by the genuine, original humor of
the man. His pereration, denouncing the
liquor traffic, was grand indeed, and the
pathetic picture which he drew in conclu-
ding his remarks was sublimity itself.
Two years and a half ago this was
in the cutters of Atlanta the major portion
of his time When sober he acted as city
editor of the Constitution and conducted his
department with exceptional ability. But
his appetite for liquor, it was believed by
many, could never be quenched this side of
the grave. But Mr.. Small had friends and
devoted wife, who refused te give him up
to such an ignoble ending of life. They
knew his talents, his natural brilliancy of
intellect, and his acquired education. They
knew he had good heart, and some good
! men stood by him, encouraged him, helped
him in business, and to-day this man is
going about doing good among his fellow
men. The wives of hundreds of ex drunkards
| have Sam. Small to thank for their now hap
Ply homes, and the peace and contentment
which reign there, supreme.
But aside from the good effects which
follow him wherever he goes, and laying
aside the moral phase of the question alto
gether, the lectures of Sam Small are worth
anybody's money upon their intellectual
merits alone.

Church Dedication.

Last Saturday was an interesting as well
as a pleasant day for many of our Moray
ian friends. It was the time set apart for
the dedication of Oak Grove Chapel, about
SIX miles from the city, which was complet-
ed short while since. A large number of
people witnessed the defeating exercises
which were conducted by DIR. Edward
Rondthaler, of the Salem church, in SOL
emn and impressive manner.
The building is a handsome and conven-
lent structure 29x42 with an addition of two
class rooms. These exercises took place in
the morning, and at three o'clock in the af-
ternoon the Sunday School Anniversary
was held, and was likewise we'll attended.
The school has membership of nearly 100
scholars. Rev. G. L. Rights, of Kerners-
Vile preached at the Chapel on Sunday
morning, and in the afte rnoon DIR. Rond-
thaler delivered a discourse upon the views
of the Moravian Church on the subject of
infant baptism, etc. Two persons were then
admitted into the church, after which the
celebration of the Lords Supper, conducted
by Rev. G. L. Rights, followed.
Mr.. James 7. Lineback, of Salem, is due
praise for the organization of the Sunday
School, and we believe he is being accorded
it for the good work he is doing and has
already accomplished.

That Descriptive Sketch,

The sketcher has found so much in and
around the Twin-City to write about that it
will take somewhat longer to bring out the
descriptive pamphlet than was at first an
by making it as complete as possible. DIR.
Robbins hopes to complete the writing by
the Goth of June, and we shall try to finish
the binding and delivery by July LIST; thus
occupying at least II weeks instead of ten
as at first expected.

Rockingham County Wants the R. 8 s.

The Madison Leader says that Mr.. F.
Fries, of Winston, passed through Madison
last Saturday on his way from Martinsville,
Va In speaking of the Roanoke & South
ern railroad Mr.. Fries says that the road
will take the route which offers most in
ducements, but that if the subscriptions
proposed and to be voted on in June are
carried in Stokes and Madison and Stone
vile townships the company will take the
cheapest route, which will be directly by
Stokesdale and Madison.

The New Presbyterian Church.

The contract for the new Presbyterian
Church was awarded on last Thursday TO
Messrs. Miller Bros. We could not learn
the exact figures the building is to cost but
were informed that it would not be less than
$4,000. Mr.. G. i. Miller, a member Of
the contracting firm, informed the reporter
Tuesday that the design of the building
would resemble somewhat that of the Gen.
tenary NJ. E. Church, though there would
be more fancy work on the front of the one
to be built than there was on the other.
The interior will be finished of hard wood.

The Davie Times says that Mr.. Jess
Deadman, who left Jerusalem township
about one month ago, for Arkansaw, has
been heard from. His wife died in less
than two weeks after he reached that coun-
Try; children all sick, and sick himself, and
no money to get back home. This Is argn-
ment sufficient for the citizens of the Old
North State to remain at home and 'let
we'll enough alone"

DIR. r. f. Gray,

Some people expressed surprise at the
statement contained in our last issue to the
effect that DIR. Gray was the Oldest native
born citizen in Winston. It is true, however,
although he is still in his thirties. DIR.
Gray is, moreover, one of the very best and
most popular of our citizens. We hope you
will live forever, Doctor.

Railroad Matters.

Railroad Matters.
A SENTINEL reporter drove out to the
railroad camp of the Wilkesboro extension
of the N. w. N. c. R. &. this week. He
was cordially received by Capt. Fry and
Mr.. McCantz, the latter being here to me-
gotiate rights of way, &c. There are now
employed at this end of the line I2O men
and "a mules, and this week they are grad
ing 30feet cuts. The preparatory work now
extends miles from Winston, and about
The same length has been prepared at the
Wilkesboro end, coming this way. Over
100 hands are employed at Wilkesboro, and
Capt. Fry is of the opinion that the force at
both ends of the road will be greatly in
creased shortly. Track-laying will, of
course, begin at Winston and, in order to
secure the bonds voted by Wilkes county
the road must be finished by next March.
Whether it will or not this deponent stateth
not, at present.

The Republican Circus.

The two wings of the Forsyth Republican
party met in the court house last Saturday
to harmonic and compromise, but the re-
suit was complete victory for the Rey-
nolds faction and a backdown on the part of
the Stipe crowd.
Mr.. P. L. Lehman acted as chairman in
place of Stipe, and Mr.. J. L. Shultz kept
the minutes.
A resolution was introduced, asking the
| convention to father the work of the conven-
ton previously reported in THE SENTINEL.
Then came war in the camp. A commit
tee report ruled out Old Richmond, South
| Fork and Bethania from the convention.
| A vote was taken and the chairman ruled
that these townships had no right to vote
| on the report of the Committee. An appeal
| was taken and then the widest disorder fol-
lowed. Little Jodie Bodenhammer almost
cracked his heels together, Charlie Rey-
nolds got on the floor and fairly Tinted the
| Stipe faction, the chairman looked as if he
wished once more TO retire to his sylvan
home and general "cussing," scrambling
| time ensued.
Finally the smoke cleared away, the dust
subsidized, and Charlie had conquered. The
| Chairman rescinded his decision and allowed
| all the townships to come in. Reynolds
wore their scalps, and now proceeded still
further to make them eat dirt. They were
/ afraid not to please him, for he threatened
to leave the convention, and they knew he'd
do it if they didn't knuckle. They knuck-
led and endorsed the action of the previous
convention, delegates and all.
The first Saturday in August was selected
as the day for electing a chairman of the
| County Executive Committee.
INCIDENTS IN THE RING.
Mr.. E. Lineback made 'em tired when he
said II move that whenever the Demo-
Gratis hold a convention we 60 in and pattern
| after them.''
-
Mr.. Reynolds was free to say that he
| blushed for his vote in the last election and
didn't want to do it again. Notice that
if a Republican leader is ashamed of his
vote, how can the party expect the people
| to rally to its banners?
x**
Mr.. Jno. Tucker, of .Abbott's Greek, said
he was willing for any man who didn't
want to recognize that convention to go
either to the Democrats or the devil.
~.
Why was it that the Stipe faction wanted
| &c GUST Mr.. Ebert? Mr.. Ebert is an excel
lent gentleman. Can it be that the Repub-
lican party don't want men of honesty and
| integrity as its leaders? 1t does look that
| way.
Did you see that negro who attempted to
cast vote from Winston township? He
didn't cast it, did he? No? And yet the
Republicans swear they are the negroes
friends. BAIL Only for votes.
How the Reynolds men did chuckle after
they had licked the other crowd. One of
them came out and remarked to leading
Democrat "Pll be id ii we didn't down
them tha: time /" And they certainly did.
Wonder how Stipe and his men like that ?
The next convention ought to sell tickets
of admission to the circus. It's worth q
quarter, any time.

No saloons will be allowed within the
town limits or on the adjoining lands.
Temperance is the basis OF contentment,
happiness, prosperity, the sure safeguard oi

JON this enterprise, was connected with the
settlement of the now prosperous towns of
Greeley, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs,
and has had an experience Of seventeen

It is desirable that settlement in the new
town be made Ms early as possible. Write
