whl-key Flowing Among the R.vubrIoan.

The Republican county candidates
are using campaign whiskey for all it
is worth, SO we are reliably informed
Last Sunday week some gentlemen
who were travelling along the public
road met a little man." (the name
of whom we need not give.) This
little man was driving a little
mule and that little mule was draw
ing little wagon upon which was
not a little barrel of sscorn Juice"
The barrel was losing portion of
Its contents, which made the atmos-
phere tempting for voters who could
be bought for 'spint" of the damn
able evil. When this same little man
with his same little mule were seen,
they were a Hstick in the midland
the poor little mule and driver were
at standstill. Finally they moved
off in direction where the little man
thought he could dispose of his sstan-
gle-leg" best. This is not the only
instance. Last Thursday evening
gentleman ofthis city who had col
ored man working for him, asked the
old darkey why he was SO late that
morning, to which the old man very
quickly replied: ''Well, boss, 1 tells
you; you know de Publican coun-
ty candidates are giving out lots of
liquor, and last night was in big
crowd an l tells you whiskey was no
object. Dey called it Harrison liquor
and when a fellow would refuse to
drink dey would pourit on his clothes
and say that you had to have some
of de Harrison liquor on you some
where. OATS de reason I'se late dis
mornin', boss"

Little Tommy settles speech.


Last Thursday night the colored
brass band of Winston footed up
a crowd for little Tommy Settle to
make a "big" speech in the court
house, and from the crowd that met
there one wouldju judge that Tommy's
speech was meant for the "colored
brethren
A SENTINEL reporter heard the
"toot'n'' and went to see what was
up. 1t was with difficulty that we
made our way into the court house,
as Tommy's colored followers were
there in large numbers. With the
dim lights that were furnished a tel
low had to look. with both eyes open
to tell when he met one of his own
color
After q few minutes waiting, up
bounced some fellow 1.-THE name OF
whom we did not learn) who with
great difficulty tried to introduce
| the speaker.
Little Tommy didn't hardly wait
for the fellow to sit down before he
| was up and saying, "fellow citizens.
Re- He talked rapidly, but some
| ssdusky'' fellow in the crowd would
every few minutes kill little Tommy
"big words" by following OUT
you're right, Tommy; that's
right, Tommy; go it Tommy" and
other phrases of a similar disgusting
nature.
Little Tommy is fair talker, but
his speech of last Thursday night
didn't pay for the dim lights ofcan
dies that were furnished him.

Grand Jury's Report.
The following is a report of the
Grand Jury of Forsyth county, Fall
Term Superior Court, Oct. 22d, 's9 !:
We have been in constant session
since our qualification up to the
present time. We have acted upon a
number of cases, and have made sew
eral presentments, and have used
our best endeavors to present all
known and all reported violations of
the law, which we trust will be prop
erly investigated, and the offenders,
if guilty, duly punished.
We as body visited our County
Jail and found the prisoners well
cared for and everything in good Or
der.
A committee appointed by the
Foreman of the Grand Jury visited
the County Poor House and made
the following report:
That we find it in good condition
and very well kept; paupers conten-
ted and say they are well treated
and provided for. We believe that it
il necessary to have a wash house
with wood shed erected as there is no
place to keep wood dry. We would
suggest that a new barn be built, as
the old one is nearly ready to fall,
and it will not justify to put any
more work on it. AS it is, there is
really not sufficient shelter in any
kind of fix to store hay, etc., away
to be fit for use
We found some water standing in
the basement of the new building oc-
cup ID by the insane paupers, where
the large heating stove stands, and
the window sash so tight that it
cannot be moved up or down in wet
weather.
