A New Bank Proposed.


Northern capitalists are thinking
of establishing another bank in Win
ston, with a capital stock of not less
than $4,000 and not more than
$25C,OOO, and have on option on
Mr.. r. d. Johnston's building on
Fourth street, which they will use as
u banking house if they decide to To-
cate here.
The facts are these: Mr.. c. w. Gil
fillan. wealthy gentleman of Frank
lin, Pa, wishes to come South for the
benefit of the health of his family
He and some of his relatives are in
terested in savings banks in Pennsyl-
vania, which have large deposits not
readily loaned. They propose to
loan some of this money through Il
bank which they wish to establish in
Winston. Mr. Gilfillan was here "a
few days ago. DIR. Wilmot, one of
his associates. has written that he
| will come in a few days.
We have been informed by u citizen
of Winston, with whom they are in
correspondence, that they will GER
tainly come here if they can be as
| sured of hearty welcome at the
hands of our business men.
Several North Carolina capitalists
who have had dealings with them
and know them will take stock in
the bank, and it is proposed to make
| up the board of bank directors OF
WinstOn-Salem men.
| WinstOn-Salem has never had more
money than it could use to great adj
vantage and additional capital would
| be gladly welcomed.

Winston's Freight Business

When the Roanoke & Southern
railroad was completed from Win
ston to Walnut Cove a few months
ago, it was predicted that it would
divide the freight business and reduce
the revenues of the Richmond & Dan
vile, but such has not been the case.
The new road has prospered, but SO
has the r. & D. The great increase
in the volume of Winston-Salem's
business has made it profitable to
both roads. During the month of
October just ended, the r. & d. re-
ceived $23, 300 for incoming freights
"a larger amount than it ever re-
ceived before the Roanoke & South
ern was built.
This single fact speaks more for the
increase of business here than whole
columns of talk without figures, and
shows that this town is making
strides that are simply wonderful.

Salem Girls Larking.

Salem Girls Larking.
The Academy girls, who are visiting
the northern cities, are attracting at
tention from the papers The Wash
ington Post says:
THE young ladies of the Salem
Female Academy, of Salem, N. c.,
who are visiting Washington under
the care of Rev. and Mrs. j. III. Clew-
ell, the principals of the academy,
yesterday enjoyed a ride through the
city and it's suburbs on the tally tho
coach, and viii leave to-day for Bal
timore, Philadelphia and New York,
returning to Washington on the 9Th
instant"
Half the expenses of this trip are
paid by the Academy and one half by
the young ladies. Is there another
institution in the South that has
done as much for it's graduating
| class?

sH The principal value of The
SENTINEL to advertisers is the fact
that it is not thrown away after
once being read, but passes through
half IA dozen pairs of hands at least
before being tossed aside. This is
the advantage presented by Il family
newspaper.

A NOVEL SUPPER,
Served From the Delicacies of Forsyth
County Woods and Fields.

Served From the Delicacies of Forsyth
County Woods and Fields.
"What is SO rare as a day in
.June?''
Der. -A-L
On last Thursday night probably
the most unique supper ever served
in Winston was given at Hotel Foun-
tain by the young men of our city.
Nearly everything on the table either
grew or lived on North Carolina soil,
and the tender, juicy 'possum was
served up with eaters in the good
old-fashioned way. What made it still
more enjoyable was the fact that the
young men had caught the 'possums
and killed the birds. Nimrod invited
his fair one to share the spoils of his
own bow and spear. &F4
At each plate was the following
novel bill of fare, done on the type
writer by Mr.. JnO. Cannon:
ASH-CAKE TEA.
O'possum, up black jack in swampo.
Bread.
Quail on toast, a la Crawford Ash
cake
Persimmon pudding, marmalade
rigging. Pie.
Indian corn meal cake, aux ashes.
Oysters.
Ham, a la Horton. Toast, Roam
trimmings.
Potatoes, with second marsupial
edition.
Succulent bivalves, made to order.
Aqua puro. Celery Hester sauce.
Jokes, antique with cracker attach
ment.
'Possum taken from the table will
be charged extra.
This novelty in the bill of fare made
a base-hit and was enjoyed immense
ly, to say nothing of the enjoyment
which the fare itself afforded. y
Mayor Buford sat at the head OF
the table and Mr. Eugene Hester at
the foot, and did the honors with
their accustomed grace and dignity
How could anybody help having a
good time? Well, they couldn't and
they didn't.
The following ladies and gentlemen
were present, and they didn't need
any urging to eat, either:
| Mr.. and Mrs. w. N. Reynolds, Mr..
and Mrs. V. w. Long, Mr.. Henry Roam
and Miss Beard, Mr.. W. B. Pollard and
Miss Brown, Mr. C. S. Johnson and
Mrs Fannie HELEN, Mr.. Sterling
Smith and Miss Stella Nissen, Mr.. C.
H. Wood and Miss Lilly Glen, Mr.
W. C. Brown and Miss Mabel Brown
Mr.. Geo. D. Hodgin and Miss Percy
Joyce, Mr.. j. c. Engelhard and Miss
Nettie Hansley, Mr.. &c. Hairstor
and Miss Delphine Hall, Mr.. r. L
Crawford and Miss Ada johnson
Stays: Mr.. E. G. Hester and Mayor
Buford.
1t is not necessary to add thai
Mayor Buford wore his dress deco
lette, and that Mr.. Testers Langtry
bang was the admiration of all TIN
ladies.

Big Quantities of Tobacco.

All this week the warehouses of
Winston have been perfect bee-hives
of busy buyers and contented sellers.
On Tuesday it was estimated that
there were over 500 wagons loaded
with tobacco in town, and yesterday
the number was larger still. A SEN
ITNEL man took stroll through the
warehouses yesterday, and found ev-
cry available inch of flOor-rOom COW
cred with the golden weed.
The quality was much better than
usual and the piles much bigger,
showing that the farmers have raised
lsrger and better crops than usual
and consequently have more cash in
their pockets.
Double sales were run on Tuesday
and Wednesday, yet prices were away
up. We heard several manufactur-
ers remarking on the big prices they
had to pay, and we saw many happy
faces and big pocket-books among
the farmers, who will sleep better and
eat their Thanksgiving turkey with
all the more joy for having sold their
tobacco on the Winston market.

FORD'S SAFETY HARNESS SN APP


The Gotham Office Boy and His Pecu1i-
arities Illustrated.
In one of the biggest law offices in this city
there is employed little, pale faced boy
whose bright eyes are forever on the alert to
detect something. He doesn't care much
what it is so that it violates some of the rules
laid down by his employers or seems to him
to be wrong or needful Of correction. Hi.
contempt for wealth and power is unsur-
passed, and he will detect some slight frac-
ture of the rules by a famous man and chide
him as quickly as though he were the poor
est client on the list of his employers. His
little desk is near the entrance, and here he
sits throughout the day with his pointed chin
in his hands and his eyes fixed upon some
bloody tale of hairbreadth escapes. But his
wits are always on edge, and the fall of the
ightest footstep withAt causes him to prick
up his ears and listen with every fiber of his
body. When the person enters he asks:
WHO did you wish to sect"
"Mr -n
"What did you wish to see him aboutf'
81 will tell him."
every we'll"
Then the boy resumes his reading, and the
visitor, after puzzled glance at the row of
little Offices says:
please tell Mr. - that Mr.. Smith is out
here and would like to see him."
What abouts'
"Bless your impudence, what's that to
you"
The boy returns wearily to his book and
pays no further attention to anything out
side Of it until Mr.. Smith weakens and says:
Tell him l want to see him about the
Blank matter"
Then the boy looks up and says, with an
air Of renewed interest in life:
"Oh, but l can't, cause Mr.. - isn't in.
He hss just stepped OUT"
'W hen will he be ini"
Don't know"
"Will he be in again today!'

THE YEARS,

Ye gray, bent, melancholy years,
Drunk with the wine Of bitter team.
And laden sore with pallid fears;
What gifts found We of joy or mirth
Were worth the mighty throes Of birth!
Ye met the phantom, miscaIled Love-
A thing that wears mask above
Its hideoCs face; the name thereof
Is Lust. that changes full as soon
As doth the tickle, chanseful moon.
Ye heard the voice of Hope grow dumb,
And felt the heart Of Faith grow numb:
And Honor, lost beneath the SUM
Of Pride and Passion, cried in vain
For succor from her shameful pain.
Ye Travelled through the fiery mist,
Where demon miseEies spat and Kissed,
And tears for smiles have been your griSt;
Ie stopped, and, melancholy years,
What marvel ye are bowed with fearss
