resignation to Gov. Lee, of Virginia,
to take effect January LIST:

THE SENTINEL will not be issued
next week. Even printers are enti-
tied to one week s rest in years time.
The bill which passed the House
last week, refunding the direct tax,
will place to the credit of North Caro-
lima, if it becomes a law, 1915 1926.
The Newbern journal well says that
Mrs. Whitney, the wife Of the Secre-
tary Of the Navy, has rendered her
friends and the country great SER
vice by coming forward in womanly
and fearless way, SIS she has done, and
denying, by right of Der intimate
knowledge of their domestic lite, that
the President is unklnd to his wife.
They do say that Fire eater Fora =
ker, of Ohio, is to be Mr. Harrison's
Attorney General. If this reporG
turns out to be correct, it settles the
question Of Harrison's attitude to-
ward the South. There will be moth
ing pacific" about the policy of the
Department Of Justice, certainly.
We thank the Neaus Of Oxford for
its kindly words of endorsement of
the editor of THE SENTINEL for the
position of engrossing clerk of the
House of Representatives. We blow
not our own horn, gentlemen,
but we would be profoundly thankful
for the honor which our election to
that position would confer.

ninth birthday, December 22nd, and |
her daughter, Forsyth, stretches out
the hand of cordial congratufation.
Stokes is one of the best counties of |
the State, filled with people just as
good, honest and industrious as ever

At The old court, house in Germanton
and invite the Forsyth folks over to
lake part? @
