that parties having Turning or miner
al land for sale could learn somethin Q
to their advantage by addressing the
SENTINEL, inclosing stamp. We have
received several letters and will for
ward them to the parties who want to

The SENTINEL is in communication
with syndicate who wish to purchase
mining property especially, and we
would be glad if parties having land
for sale would describe it infinitely ::
its location, distance from some town,
number of acres and the lowest cash
price. We do.'t expect to make any
thing out of this, but will try t, bring g
as many monied men into the section
as We can, simply for the good Of the
people and with no expectation OF per-
sonal gain.

Yesterday at noon, the first lab ,rer

A force of hands are at Wilkesboro

the force is to be increased as rapidly

"Honor to whom honor is due. "
Mr. Geo. W. Hinshaw has been the
leader in this railroad enterprise and
has kept it continually before the r.
& ID. r. r. CO., and we believe but
for his persevering ability the Wins
ton Wilkesboro Railroad would only
be plan, unmatured and inactive.
The SENTINEL knows that he has,
day after day and month after month,
devoted large portion of his time to
this enterprise, With rare public
spirit and unselfishness, he has given
up time which was valuable to his
large business, and devoted it to a
railroad project for the benefit of the
Twin City.
The SENTINEL believes in giving
honor where honor is due, and it be-
lieves that Mr.. Hinshaw deserves the
hearty, unreserved thanks of the peo-
pie of Winston Salem and the country
through which the road runs, for his
management of the enterprise with so
much e ergy, faithfulness and ability.
There are others who deserve credit
but as Mr.. Hinshaw has borne the
b1unt cf the battle, we believe in Civ
ing him the greatest need OF praise
We believe the road is now a sure
thing and beyond even the strongest
doubt Of the doubling Thomas. And
further, we believe that the Roanoke
