THREE LOCAL RRIFS.


-THE SENTINEL made one or two
typographical errors in the report of
the Wachovia Bank last week This
week we re-publish the report, cor
rected, and call the attention of the
public to an institution which has
grown strong by wise and prudent
management and one which is a great
factorin ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Reidsville Review says: A
SuTry county young man, who had
been on big drunk and was refused
liquor, climbed on his fathers store
and went down the chimney to get
the liquor He was caught and i'm
prisoned in the CRATE, where big fire
was burning, and after yelling "fire, !"
murder and ''help,'i was released
by a hole being cut in the chimney
for him to crawl out.

column an advertisement of Messrs
Worth & Worth, of Wilmington
Now that Winston-Salem and ada
cent territory have a quick and d.
rect route to-zWilmington over the
C. F. & Y: w. r. r. The SENTINEL
hopes that the merchants will cult
vate closer business relations with
that city. They can buy heavy gro
ceries from Messrs. Worth & Worth
as cheap as they can buy them in
Richmond or Baltimore and the
freight will be less than from either
of these points. Then why not pa
trOnize North Carolina house?

On the cross-examination the law

about dates, and as the finishing
touch asked: "When was Christ
born?" swell, Mr.. Lawyer" said
the witness, "we haint tryin' that

Mr.. James Mitchell, while survey

came across q chestnut tree on Red

measures over "a feet in circumfer-

had fallen down looked to be about
the same size.
At the second cut below Wilkes

that it will take two months extra

Old Dominion Guano and
Farmers Friend Fertilizer!
FOR FINE TOBACCO!
AN -
Registers High Grade Acid
Phosphate. For Grain, &c.

These three brands we have sold,
and we confidently claim for them
record second to none. We have
made strict inquiry of those who
bought of us as to their merits, and
the testimonials in every instance are
very fatterin>y. We haven't had a
single complaint. Many farmers
say they used it, side by side with
other and higher cost grades, and
that it is as good as any and in many
instances better. We want no bet
ter record for it than it has been
made wherever used. Now ABOUT
PRICES: Our position is this: If
the farmer can increase the yield and
enhance the value of his products
by using Fertilizers, then the more
he uses the better it is for HIM and
for the merchant. Consequently
your interests and our interests
are identical, and anything we
can do to help you will behelping
ourselves, and it stands to reason
that the cheaper we sell to you
the more you can buy, hence the in
creased benefit to both of us is evil
dent. We claim, without fear of
honest contradiction, land we believe
our past record will bear us out in
the assertion) that we have shown
more willingness to do, and have
done more towards bringing down
the necessaries of the farmers than

ANY House in North Carolina !

Now, all we ask is little investi-
CATION on your part to see if what
we cay is not the truth. IF it is,
are we not entitled to your CON-
fidence? If not the truth, you owe
it to yourselves and your neighbors
to expose our fallacies. We claim
that we brought down the prices Of
dealers in other brands of Fertilizers
this is a fact which is evident to
most of you. Again, we claim that
we sold Fertilizers at much less
profit than any dealer here; and in
proof of this, we will refer you to
the Bulletin issued by the State
Board of Agriculture, giving the
analyses of the different brands of
Fertilizers sold in the State, and
their worth; and, and according to
this, we sold our goods at from $500
to $500 per ton less than other
goods sold here, having an analysis
lower than ours-thereby proving
conclusively that we sold at a much
less profit than other dealers. Well,
says one, there is no truth in the fig
ures given by the State Chemist.
That being the case, why do ,ou
keep him employed at a large salary?
But, we claim that his tests are a
true basis upon which to judge of
the merits Of the different F Fertilizers,
and if it was not for him the State
would be flooded with worthless stuff
at exhorbitant prices.

OUR LETTER FROM YADKIN.

Especial Correspondence # tie Sentinel
Mr.. Wesley Doub, we are sorry to
state, is very seriously lila relapse
from La Grippe.
Messrs. league & Crowder have
added to their mill here burrs for
grinding corn. This firm is doing a
very large lumber business.
Saturday and Sunday were truly
winter days, and much damage to
tobacco-beds has been done-many
of them killed out entirely. -, -
Mr.. P. j. Fulp, who has been con-
fined to his bed for nine long weeks,
breathed his last on Saturday, and
was laid to rest Sunday evening. He
was a clever and obliging neighbor.
All that medical skill and tender low
ing hands could do was don to stay
the hand of death. He leo YES a wife
and one child. He married Miss
Martha J. Glenn.
We country folks are glad to learn
that your business men are begin
ming to rouse up and let the world
know that Winston-S Salem is on solid
bedrock. The Constitution made
Atlanta by being backed by the solid
men there, and if the monied men OF
Winston Salem will give The SENTI-
MEL the same aid, she can be the At
lanta of North Carolina. Don't 90
to New York and hire the World or
any other paper to boom your city,
but give the papers that are indenti-
fled with the citys prosperity better
aid and, encouragement Advertise
your. town through their columns,
and as they prosper 80 will the town.
We take a deep pride in the growth
of the, place, for. it is our tobacco
market, and we want to see the Twin
City the leading city of North Caro-
lima. - E.

Forsyth Folks in Florida.

Mr. j. c. Lawrence, of this county,
has just returned from Florida.
Last September he and Mr.. Geo.
Beck drove through the country from
Winston to Florida, carrying a lot
of mules. horses and tobacco, and
have been trading there since, hand
ling tobacco for several of our manu-
facturers. Mr.. Lawrence tells THE
SENTINEL that the people down there
are greatly excited over the phos-
phate deposits and that almost any
morning you could see a dozen agents
of capitalists start out with their
boring augurs in search of it. He
says that Mr.. Geo. Beck has put in a
large crop of HAVANA tobacco and.
expects to realize handsomely. A
day or two before Mr.. Lawrence
started for Winston he caught. a
trout weighing IA lbs. out. of the
river that flows few yards from Mr.
Beck's house.

The Davie County Bonds.

We beg to inform the Mocksville
Times that it is mistaken when it
says that at the last meeting of the
Board of Commissioners of Davie
county a proposition from Col. An
drews was rejected and that it was
decided not to issue the county bonds
until trains were running to Mocks-
vile.
The facts in the case are these: No
proposition was either made or re-
jected. The bonds of Davie county
were not in proper shape to be issued
They are now being put in shape and
will be Autographed. When the time
arrives there will be no troubleabout
issuing them. The commissioners of
Davie county and the authorities of
the N. C. Midland r. r.. have an -un-
derstanding about the matter and
no trouble is anticipated Both sides
are satisfied with the terms agreed
upon and no litigation is likely to
result -

There is but little doubt that
most of the plants were killed by the
recent cold weather. Farmers have
been busy re-serving. 1t is not too
late yet to make good plants, but
certainly late enough, and farmers
