We have the boss taX-listers here.
One merchant in the lower part OF
the township the other day listed his
stock of goods at S. 90 and another

If Buxton is nominated you can
count on Clemmonsville township to
give him majority.

REV. rHos. DIXON
He Will ONE to Winston Next Week
to Lecture

Rev. Thomas Dixon will lecture in
Browns Opera House next Tuesday
might. His subject will be "Back-
! bone.
He is one of the most unique char
,icters that North Carolina has ever
furnished. He graduated from Wake
Forest College with first honors, win
ming the orators medal. He then
went north and studied for the stage,
but concluded that he was not in
! tended for an actor and decided to
go into politics. He returned to his
home in Shelby, n. c., and ran for
/ the legislature. He was elected be-
fore he was 81 years old and took
the oath of office a few days after
arriving at his majority. His career
I, in the legisla ture was marked prin-
cipally by n dramatic grafton on the
subject of pensions for disabled sol
diers and by his warm advocacy of a
bin to prohibit the sale of indecent
litera ture III the State. He after
wards studied law at Greensboro I'M
der Dick & billiard, but becoming
convinced that law and politics were
not his forte, he wrote a letter to the
public which stated that he found it
impossible to be a Christian gentle
man and IL politician at the same
time.
The next we hear from him he is
preaching with marked success. He
was, called to one of the principal
churches of Boston and there made
quite reputation for himself. About
year ago he accepted II call to the
23d Street Baptist church in New
York, where he has since been preach
ing every Sunday to il large congre-
CATION.
He has made IL great success for
one so young in years and is a man
that North Carolina may well be
proud of. If for nothing else, he de-
serves the admiration Of the people
of the South for the manly way in
which he def-nle led them from the at
tacks of the Nail and Express, IN
account of which, together with Mr.
DiNon's picture, W. present on the
first page of The SENTINEL this
week.
The people OF Winston will hear
one of the finest orators the South
has produced when they hear Mr..
Dixon Tuesday night. Let him have
II good audience.

Chatham Always Ahead

The last issue of the Chatham Co.
Record toes the mark with the fol

sid you ever hear of il cat hatch
ing chickens? Well, such IL strange
event has recently occurred in Chat
ham. A few weeks ago the wife OF
Mr.. Matthew Seymour, of Newhope
township, placed some eggs IN bas-
ket, and soon afterwards noticed
that the cat laid down on the eggs,
and it continued to lie there day af-
ter day, until at last IL chicken was
Matched from every egg, eleven in
number"
If it .is in order, THE SENTINEL
would Suggest to the Landmark and
the Wilkesboro Chronicle that it is
time for them to take fresh hold
and come again.

TO THE VOTERS OF WINSTON.
An Open Letter to the People from the
Board of Commissioners

In response to an inquiry from the
people rs to what the Board of Town
Commissioners propose to do with
the money arising from the sale OF
| the bonds in case the issue of bonds
is authorized at the approaching
| election, H III
We the undersigned constituting
I! the Board of Town Commissioners,
| hereby submit the following:
| We expect to place the bonds on
| the market from time to time as
money is needed so. as to pay no in
terest except as the none v is ctually
used. ~ - ~
We propose to buy the private
| stockholders shares in the Water
Works Co. so that the town will own
! and control the Water Works-its
| property and corporate franchise.
| The town now owns one fourth Of
said stock.
To make this purchase will require
between thirty and forty Thousand
dollars of the bonds.
We expect to provide at once for
the extension of water mains into the
Eastern, Western and Northern por-
tiOns of the town so as to afford all
needed protection to property, and
water conveniences to the people.
This will give us better water sys-
TEN, and at the same time stop all
hydrant rent now paid by the town.
We expect to be able to effect this
extension without cost to the town
or the people along the line.
We expect to erect at once IL mark
et-house on the market-house lot, in
Guiding mayors Office, city prison,
engine house and other conveniences
to promote the efficiency of the fire
department.
These improvements will leave the
larger portion of the money accruing
from sale of bonds unexpended.
We propose to use the money not
necessary for the above named pnr
poses, and as much of it as necessa-
ry, and all of it if n.,cess Try, in the
immediate opening of new streets
and improving the same, together
with streets already opened. u t
These new streets will be opened in
the undeveloped portions of the town
wherever necessary, giving to each
ward and section its just and fair
proportion of such improvements.
We propose to widen and place in
repair Liberty street, if the citizens
living along it's line desire it to be
Widened.
We propose to extend Fifth street
to the eastern boundary line of the
town, thereby opening all new streets
in the town that are necessary and
desirable.
We hope to do all this work as rap
idly as it can be done, and after it is
done have balance in the treasury
to be used in commencing n system
of sewers whenever the water supply
is sufficient to render sewers practi-
cable. But we only hope to be able
to commence the sewerage system,
to be extended from time to time by
the current receipts of the town from
annual taxes, as the public health
imperatively demands it.
We will not and cannot lawfully
use a dollar OF the money outside the
corporate limits of the town; nor do
we intend to use any part of it in the
Improvement of the property of any
land company. We say this to quiet
certain apprehensions expressed.

bismarck's Probable Policy,

While there is no doubt that the elections
on saturday will bring a sweeping Lib
eral victory, completely smashing the
oartels by which bismarck governs, even
tne most sanguine Liberals do not expect
the chancellor will dissolve Parliament
ana call new elections. He knows
too we'll that new ballot in the
present state of public opinion would
prtng even more crushing defeat. Bis
marck is an adept in massing working
mNOpi.y rom whatever parties suit his
purposes, utterly regardless of their former
aitllations, and his friends firmly believe
that he will find way out of the crisis.
but while all Europe Is watching for some
move on the chancellor's part to indicate
what his plans are, he remains sphinx.
ohe OF bismarck's brightest parliament
airy allies was asked tonight what the
chancellor would do. !" From all | can
learn was the answer, she will repeat
the tactics which have so often proved vie
torious, will throw overheard the National
Liberals and form a combination of the
conservative and the Catholic parties.
Both OF these are protcctionists and both
are opposed to Liberalism. Biscmark has
made his peace with the Centrum and will
use IL 10 form majority. This move NAV
result IN the formation of great Liberal
party. The National Liberals, disowned
Dy the chancellor, will again join the Pro-
gressionist party offering stout opposition
TO the chancellor. Mind, distinctly saw
10 the chancellor and not to the emperor.
Tor while the latter is opposed To the So
cialls, law, he seeks labor reform, which ia
the thing Bismarck does not like"
VIII there then be conflict betw cen
Bismarck ard the EMPEROR"
Not to amount to anything. Bismarck
may make some show of opposition at iirst,
but he will ultimately yield to the wishes
| OF the sovereign. He will not resign. bnt
WIN, probably, leave the management of
internal affairs To others. A few more days
VIII tell the story. There will be a com
plete change in parliamentary parties. Bis
marck will still be chancellor, and, with
the jaws of defeat"

The Dreams Of Kossuth.

Exiled Louis KOssuth is getting lots of
glory from the passage of law declar-
Ing that all persons living abroad for ten
yean, and failing to assert citizenship
before an Austrian official are thereby
denationalized. He refuses to recog-
niEe the Austrian emperor, and
90 b legally man without country
but eighty-three cities have promptly
conferred upon him honorary citizen
ship. and although in his eighty-ninth
year he shows a keen interest in public
affairs. A correspondent of the New York
Herald sends cable account of talk
with the venerable Hungarian In which
he gives the German emperor credit for
sincerity in his labor plans, but saws
that the interests of European sover-
eigns cannot be made to agree Oh the
labor question. The social and industrial
question surmounts all others, and mon
archy will not cure the malady, for
It is going down and Republicanism is
coming up but Republicanism will not
cure the malady. In short, the old man
takes gloomy Tennysonian view of
the situation, offering only the consola.
tion that Meanwhile the earth will
continue to revolve, and some day the
present population may be swept from
It's surface and new race, capable of a
new civilization, may appear. A cata-
ciysm Is the only hope of solution.n
lie insists that Europe is on the verge
Of great war and that nothing can
avert 1t. The oriental question between
isussia and Austria he considers IN.
soivable except by war. There is nc
reason for the existence of Austria
Italy has q great future before her
England is living on past capital which
is being rapidly used up; Ireland
will become state of the American
union such are the curious views of thi.
vigorous old statesman without coun
try, who calmly takes the whole worlC
Into his calculations and makes N,
allowance for Providence.
