EDITOR SENTINEL Tickets are
out with the following on LIST page
'Class of 1890. Vivet Post Fu,,ero
Virtus. Senior Speaking. Maxwell
Chambers Day. Saturday, April
9th. Davidson College, N. c." On
End page the usual forms of invitation
and on 3rd page, the names of the 1e
seniors who are to speak, 8 at II a. m.
and 8 at 8 p. m.
This is.to be the first celebration OF
The Maxwell Chambers Day." which
! is intended to celebrate annually here
after, in memory of that noble phil.
anthropist, who many years ago en-
| dowed this college with 100000.
Special trains will run from Column
bia, Charlotte, Statesville. etc. As
several States are represented in the
Senior class, and every "feller" will
have his "best girl' here, the crowd
will doubtless be equal to small com
mencement. l notice that one of the
speakers has selected Jefferson Dav-
is for his subject, and another Henry
w. Grady" and if the speakers are
| equal to the subjects, they certainly
will be grand. But so many eulogies
have been written and spoken on the
| character of both of late that it is diff
cult to say anything new about
either.
Well, the Liden Manufacturing Co.
has been organized and incorporated
with $4,000 stock, with privilege to
increase to 100000. Directors Prof.
w. S. Graves, r. w. Shelton, j. Lee
Sloan, Jr.. j. w. Summers, Prof. II. l..
Smith, DrJ. j. Duprey and L. R. Neel.
Prof. III. L. Smith, president and j.
Lee Sloan, Jr., secretary and treas
urer. The last two officers are young
men of energy and well qualified to
fill their responsible positions. Prot.
Smith was elected President of the
Teachers Assembly at Morehead City
last summer, and is some "big officer"
in the Y. M. G. A., now President of
the Liden Manufacturing Co., and may
yet be President of the U. S.! Well,
if he ever is, he will fill the place with
pleasure to himself and honor to the
country. j. LeeSloan, sec'y and treas,
is a young merchant here, and quite
successful in business. He is fine
business man, and has energy enough
to "move a steamboat" The com
pany have bought beautiful sight for
their factory near the depot. They
are to manufacture warps and yarns,
and hope to spin part OF the crop of
1890. Messrs. Staugh, Cornelius &
Co. are to add another 1000 spindles
soon to their factory, which is already
turning out about 5000 lbs. fine warp
weekly. So you see there is some
prospect of the name of this place yet
being changed to Lowell" or they
may conclude to move "Lowell" down
here. They already have considerable
of the cotton machinery moved here.
How much more is to follow "this
scribe knoweth not"
I'see from the last SENTINEL that
there is "a prospect of a still greater
"boom" in Winston. Well, you are
like the Dutchman that set hen on
80 eggs. "you have room to spread
yourself" When Greensboro gets
her steel works fully under way, she
may become a little Jealous of yon
about which shall claim -Kernersville
first. wv. p. w.
