ton will do for p town. r
The large amount of extra work
incident to the transfer of The SEN
TINEL to its new owners has prevent
ed the retiring editor. from making
this issue as good a paper as The
SENTINEL usually is. We trust that
our readers will view it's shortcomings
with charity.

On Tuesday morning, as street
car No. was coming down Liberty
street, the car jumped the track just
as it reached the bridge over the
Wilkesboro railroad. The car plung-
ed forward and stopped, just as it's

1t gone twelve feet further in would
have fallen off the bridge to the bot
tom of the cut, about thirty feet be-
low.
"A farm of 800 acres, nearly two
miles south of Winston, belonging to
h. K. Starbuck, Esq, changed hands
last week at the round sum of $25,-
600. One half was paid cash, the

believe that those who try them
will not be disappointed in the quail
ty. Let all the patrons of this pop
ular warehouse call for a package of
these seeds.
Congressman J. NJ. Brewer was
in Winston Monday. We learn that
Messrs. Gillian & Oliver and Joseph
Bradfield waived examination in the
proceedings brought against them
N,
and gave bond tor their appearance
at the next term of Surry county
court. The defendants claim that |
they have evidence in their posses
sion which will put Mr.. Brewer in the |
penitentiary. The case promises to
be one of great interest.
AN ugly affair occurred at Ker-
nersyille, last week. A negro man
entered the bed-chamber OF a white |
lady and put his hands on her shout |
ders while she was in bed. Her
screams brought her husband, who
was about the lot, and the negro ran
away. He was caught next day and |
was tried for an attempt to rape. I
The court failed to find evidence of !
this, and he got off with the usual
punishment for assault and battery.
"A great deal of work is now being
done on the streets of Winston-Sa- |
lem, and when completed we will have |
as good streets as can be found any,
where in the South. Good streets are |
a great advantage in any town, in
fact there are but few who fully ap-
preciate their benefit We will state
as an illustration, that while a good |
horse can pull only about $500 |
pounds on a dirt road the same horse |
can pull lace on welt paved streets, |
q saving of 500 pounds for every load |
he carries. 1t would not require a !
very extended calculation. to show
