SAMMY JONES SLANG.

Rev. DR.. T. III. Pritchard, of Will
miogton; n. c., has essayed the task
of setting the country right in refer
ence to Rey. Sam Jones. He is out in
three column attack upon him, so
we see from the papers. DR.. Pritch-
ard is only hurting himself and help
ing Sam Jones. His criticisms on Mr..
Jones will be like pouring water on a
ducks back-it runs right off and
makes no impression. Pritchard pitted
against Jones reminds us of the sheep
that got on the railroad track to butt
against the approaching engine-he
shows spunk but poor Judgment
Raleigh Christian Advocate.
It is passing strange to observe the
different "crazes" which strike the
country from time to time. Sam
Jones is a "craze." People seem to
lose control of their soberer judgment
and become blindly and universally
enthusiastic. All man needs to do
in these degenerate times is to say or
do something to shock people-to Gre
ate sensation-and his success is as
sured. It does seem that men enjoy
being called "pusillanimous rolecats
of hell" from the pulpit, but the man
who goes around bestowing such little
pet expressions on his acquaintance
will enjoy only brief and troubled
existence. He will emigrate. Now
what makes the difference Is it be-
cause every man thinks it applies to
his neighbor and not himself when the
prea cher says it? To be sure we
haven't such sorry opinion of our fell
lowmen.
Just such opinions as the above
from the Advocate is what has made
Sam Jones so egotistical and rantank-
erous. He really believes that he is
the steam engine-and the only one in
this country at present-and all other
preachers are the small sized, bob
tailed billy goats whom he will knock
off the track should they be so foolish
as to interpose their feeble resistance
to its mighty rush. Sam Jones is
smart man, and may be good man,
but he has colossal faults. In our
admiration for the mans genius we
should not lose sight of this fact. It
is our honest opinion that the popu
1arity of Sam Jones is very much of
kind with that of the clown iE the cir.
Gus ring. He amuses people. We
think DR.. Pritchard is right on this
question,

WHAT TIME is 1T 2

This is question often asked and
seldom answered correctly.
The reason is that few people have
a really good clock.
The SENTINEL wants everybody
to own one and they can do it if
they will spend few minutes of their
time. Here's the way:
Go to your friends and neighbors
and pursuade two of them (who do not
already take it) to subscribe to THE
SENTINEL. Then send their names
and $500 to The SENTINEL and we
will present you with nickle alarm
clock that is warranted to keep good
time. 1t retails for $3.50 and often
for more. 1t is made by the Ansonis.
Clock Co., whose goods won the prize
medal at the Paris Exposition in 1878,
and it is beauty.
- If you want the clock sent by mai
or express, send % cents extra for
postage or EXPIRE sage.
This generous offer is made by THE
SENTINEL in order to get new sub
scribers. We expect to add 500 to
our list before January the LIST, and
this is one of the ways we are working
to do it.
Here is chance for the boys and
girls as well as the older people. 1t
takes little trouble, but it pays.
Try it.
This offer will not hold good after

Oakland Inn Sold.
+ From, the AsheyiUe Citizen.

From the AsheCuue Citizen
A few years ago the Oakland Inn
in Victoria was built by "A. and R. q.
Garrett, who opened it as a fotel.
The hotel was run for one season and
the building was afterward used for
school purposes under the name of the
Oakland Institute.
A trade was closed to day whereby
exit. Gov. Chas. M. Stedman, of
Wilmington, brother-in law Of D. G.
Waddell, of Asheville, becomes the
owner of the property. The price
paid was $102, 800.
Mr.. Stedman has leased the build
ing and grounds to New York parties,
who will reft the Inn and open it as a
sanitarium, which will be the finest in
America. DR.. Neefus, who will have
charge, has lately been connected with
the Evansville Sanitarium" in New
York; he is most experienced and
eminent physician, and is thoroughly
up on the times. The house will be
elegantly and comfortably furnished.
Two elevators will be run to accom-.
modate the guests, and a most com.
plete system of all kinds of baths will
be put in.
The class of people that this santa
rum will bring to Asheville will be
the wealthy, who will add to the ever
increasing prosperity Of the city.
The sanitarium will be opened On
the 10Th of December

The Globes Opinion of Poetry.

The editor of the Durham Globe is
a wit. The following article on Bro.
Blount's ecstat;cs and the spring pc.
etess is gem of its kind.
Our good friend Henry Blount
throws out in his weekly Wilson Mir
ror several gobs of thought which he
calls heart throbs. They doubtless
make him pant, but his heart throbs
do not hold a candle to a bundle of
bread and molasses gush which is
printed this week in The Gastonia
Gazette, under the caption Of Fare
well to a False Lover The verses
are regular geysers of gush. They
were written at Stanley Creek and the
hippopottamus which sweats blood
never had harder Job than the au-
thor of the wretched rhyme. The
second jag of the second stanza reads:
The happy past will not mar
With tears of sad regret,
Nor say when you gone afar,
81 grieved that e'er metz
Now, who in the world ever read
anything that struck the heart with a
harder or a colder or duller thud
Imagine woman painting and scream
ing and grooming because her ear
met. But there is no use to talk.
The vigilance committee should or
ganize and strike out and bring back
the false lover. He should be hanged
in every town in the State and his
clammy corpse sent back to Stanly
Creek and given to the young poetess
who has poured her soul out in these
steer melting goblets. The grass will
sigh over her grave some day; the
winds will sob, and the rain-the cold
rain will fall over the false lover
yanked out by the long, lank roots.
Justice should arm itself with a horse
pistual and fly to the desolate scene on
Stanley Creek.

Jones is BLACKBOARD and swearer.
