bued with the spirit of progress as is
characteristic of the hospitable peo-
pie in this thriving young city, and,
with desire for better lights, have
recently introduced into their beauti-
full rooms the incandescent electric
system, with charming effect. The
first entertainment given since this
addition took place on Friday even

Gently returned from Europe, and to
her guests, the Misses Atkins, Coons,
and Ada Williamson, all of whom are
visiting here this week. Sixteen cou-
pies danced the German til the night
was far spent.
1t would seem useless to particular
ize when all present were SO charm
ing, but your correspondent cannot
refrain from making special, mention
of a few. Miss Annie Clark in an ex-
quisite Partisan gown, delighted all
who, came within her presence. Misses
Atkins, Coons and Ada Williamson
were admired by a large circle of
friends. Miss Mary Boyd and Miss
Maggie Watt, ever beautiful and at
tractive, drew around them host of
charmed attendants Winston was
happily represented by our popular
and entertaining Mrs. Mary Benton,
who, to the regret of all here, leaves
for home this week A sumptuous
supper was served during the inter
mission. And to Messrs. P. D. Watt
and Maj Henlett are due the thanks
and praise of all present for it's ele-
gance.
Miss Alberta Gallatin made her
second appearance here, Saturday
night. She is a great favorite and
delighted the large audience which
turned out to greet her.

A Horse Thief.

A Horse Thief.
A dark bay mare was stolen from
the stables of Mr.. G.. w. Surratt, at
Jackson Hill, Davidson county, on
Sunday night, Nov. 25th. The thief,
a young man by the name of Dobey,
sold the animal to Mr. VIM. Flynt,
of Forsyth county and then skipped.
The horse was brought to Winston
last Saturday by Mr.. Flynt when it
was placed in charge of Jailor Brad
ford. Monday Mr. Surratt came to
Winston and attested that the mare
was the one stolen from his stable on
the night above stated, whereupon it
was turned over to him.
Dobey, the thief, is smooth-faced,
clean-shaven, light-haired, small in
size, and worked for some time on
the Roanoke & Southern Railroad.
He is also charged with stealing fifty
odd dollars from his uncle in the
neighborhood of Jackson Hill. JUS
tice is certain to overtake such ras
Gals sooner or later.

Tn at Thanksgiving Turkey.

A member of The SENTINEL staff
enjoyed his Thanksgiving turkey.
Turkeys, like Indians, are best dead.
With all respect to the glorious
spread eagle, the turkey was Amer
ica's bird last Thursday. Every
Thanksgiving and every Christmas
bring vindication of the idea of the
patriot who advocated the turkey as
our country's emblem.
Oh, we love the proud and strutting
bird SO very dearly that we feast
upon him upon the least excuse. And
you know how he ought to be cook
ed of course?
ga turkey boiled is turkey spoiled,
A turkey roast is turkey lost;
But for a turkey praised
The Lord be praised"
All honor, then, to the American
bird that never flies too high to be
caught for Thanksgiving dinner.
