promised Adam and Eve at th, II
expulsion from the gard,n Of Eden.
Our duty points to the future,
though there is nothing to revent
us from cherishing in memory those
tilings that we're most Gear to lis in
the past. TIE year OF 1888 was a
remarkable one in many WHY'S 1t
was the centennial of OHIO, ard
roupded out the first century follow
ing tho Organizati Of the state
government. Again 1t was tie
year when the grand cncamrment
OF the q. a. r. was held at Colun.-
bus. TENS of thousands of people
can,e into the State TO visl. friends
at that time that will probably new
er return, hundreds of those who
met in family re- Union have since
died. Taken ali in all the people of
Hooking county have lived thre ugh, /,
as we said before. ono of the most
remarkable wears in the history of
the State. They will hardly live to
see its equal.
But we close the book Of the
past year. 1t lie DOW matter Of
history and ran be referred 10 al,
any time. We have as nation es
Gu ped dlsas; ;ers and cpidem les. Ev.
cry one should have a mission in
this life. We feel that We have,
and will labor to show in the new
volume that opens up in this num-
bcr of the SENvINEL that VIC justly
appreciate tho gravity OF the work
that has fallen 10 our lot. In mat-
ters pertaining to party affairs, we
ask the aid and assistance of the
leaders. In al! matters pertaining
to county and town. we feel that
people will III tho future. as they
have done in the past. assist in
bringing esem before the pubic
Our own efforts will be contributed
developing the resources OF
the county and adding to its wealth.
The SENTINEL will stand for the
Democratic party as against all
comers and we will labor unceas-
ingly to disseminate its doctrines.
The paper will stand ready to an
swer all calls of distress and will
champion nothing but what is right.
We thank our patrons for the ia
vo,s we have received in the past
year, and sincerely hope that moth
ing may occur 10 lntcrl upt or break
off the pleasant relations that exist
at this time. Tho SENTINEL sends
greetings to its friends and is hap
by TO tell them, that all Is we'll /;
and that it has no fears for the fu-
turc. There has been no break in
the Democratic ranks in Hooking
county. The force is invinci5!e.
1t is not In laudatlon. but only IN
the spirit of self assertion that We
say: When the present proprietor
of the SENTINEL bought the prop
erty seventeen years ago, 1t was a
bankrupt concern, and for the thlr
ty years of its exisistence preced-
ing it. was a stipendiary upon the
party, living by bequests and char
table bountles from the leaders and
officials of the parry. Since the
present pr Jprietor has had control, it
has been business institution of the
town. commanding the confidence Of
the business public.
The SENTINEL tbrings thous-
ands of dollars every year to
our town. 1t employs skilled work
men and pays the highest prices to
the men employed.
In the last seventeen years the
SENTINEL bas paid every bill 1t
owed, and thanks to the patronage
We have, is prepared 10 pay any
account against 1T, although many
of our old time subscribers have
not paid us anvthlng for years.
During every campaign of the
past seventeen years, the editor
of the SENTINEL has paid as much
often times more TO the Commit
tee for the legitimate expense 6
ofthe campaign. than any cand .
date on the ticket. Our $50 90 /
more this year, as in tiie' past
years, Is at the command of GU;
Committee.
Asa wind up of the last year and q
horn blow for the beginning OF the
new year, we close by saying that
the SENTINEL fourishes; ills propri
etor is proud Of the support it has
that we have the money of oar cwn
to pay all the blGs we owe and
some left for the Democratic cause,
and til. our subscribers can con-
tlnue on rs they always have been
doing, Notwithstanding our duns,
"Pay when you please
The Light Of the Future.
