The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1888-06-28

| The Writing Telegram line from the
Salem Iron Works to the druggist IRE of Ash
craft & Owens has been placed in position
and TIE inventor, Mr.. Robertson, tested it
for the first time yesterday morning The
writing was done accurately and those who
witnessed the experiment were highly
pleased with the useful invention.
A Citizen in the Daily Monday calls
upon the Board of Health of both Winston
and Salem to see that the .'anitary rules and
regulations be strictly enforced. "Citlzen"
gives some pointed as well as sensible utter
ances, and it is very importBnt matter,
gentlemen, that is deserving of more than
mere notice. Speaking from our own obser
walton, the sanitary condition of our fair
cities is not what it should be.
MIR. II. E. Fries left this morning for
Washington, D. c., where he goes to see
and prevail with Senator Wade Hampton,
of South Carolina, to come to Winston next
Wednesday and deliver our 4th of July ora
ton. 1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Fries
trip will prove success as the Senator is
fine speaker, an old Confederate leader and
many an old comrade will rejoice to see and
| give him cordial "shake."
News reached the city last Friday of
the death of Mr.. George M. Carr which oc-
Cured in Washington, D. c., on the night
Of the 22d inst. Mr.. Carr was connected
with the railway mail service for sew eral
years and at the time he received his APP
pointment he held position with Mr.. E.
A. Oldham correspondent and canvasser
| for THE SENTINEL. The deceased, if we
mistake not, was a native of Duplin county.
For the purpose of witnessing the oper-
alton of the Writing Telegraph and consid.
ering the advisability of getting up an ex-
change for Winston Salem, there will be
a meeting of the business men of both towns
this Thursday evening in the Chamber of
Commerce Rooms, at 81 o'clock. A full at
tendance requested. The inventor and as
sistant manager will both be present and
ready to make full explanations as to its
workings.
A fantastic parade would be an inter-
esting feature for the 4th. Let our young
men Tor older ones if they wish) take hold
of the matter at once and make the necessa
ry arrangements for making the "Rorder
rufiian Crowd" one Of the leading attrac-
items. Everybody enjoys such features and
we believe there are a sufficient number of
our young men willing to join the Crowd
necessary to make the parade oreditable.
Start the ball boys, our ''deviP' says he'll
join you.
MIR, E. III. Simpson, representative of
| tho Niroinia AuricuIturaI Mechanical nd
Tobacco Elk position to be held in Richmond
from October Sd to November 2lst, was in
Winston Tuesday for the purpose of urging
upon our tobacco men the importance of
their making exhibit at the exposition,
He advised them to make the exhibit COLI
lectivly. Our tobacco mon never fail to
take advantage of an opportunity that will
in any way advertise Winston-Salem, and
in this instance, we believe they will make
an exhibit not only a credit to the Twin
City, but the Old North State az well.
Mr.. Nat Wilson, accompanied by
Messrs. Peter Wilson, Robert Gorrell, EN-
DRY Gray, John Hynum and Thomas Crews,

the frst-named gentleman was united in
marriage at eleven o'clock yesterday NOR
ming to Miss Bette Spicer, an accomplished
young lady of that city, who taught in the
primary department of the " inston Graded
School during the last session. After the
ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Wilson left for a
visit to northern cities. Mr.. Wilson is the
efficient book keeper at the Farmers Ware
house and showers of congratulations are
