IL is Decided TO JON the State Assoc
cIation--A Team VIII be Sent TO
Rock Springs to Take Part
in the

A large number of firemen were pres
cnt at the meeting last night called to
consider the ~advisability of the Cheyenne
fire department joining the state a~ssocia-
ton.
The question was discussed and it was
decided to accept the invitation and join
the state association.
A team of sixteen men will be drafted
from the several companies to take part
in the tournament to be held at Rock
Springs next month. The same team
will probably also represent Cheyenne at
the Loveland, Colo, firemen's tourna-
ment. Delegates to the meeting Of the
state association will be appointed, one
from each company. Chief Warlarmont
will represent the department as a whole.
The team to be made up will be a fast
one and will run in the races for the hose
companies and hook and ladder companies
as well.
There will be five delegates from Chev-
enne besides the team, which will make
twenty one persons in all.
The small towns along the railroad will
no doubt do the prope thing and send
their representatives to the convention
In proper style. Rock Sorings is a long

from here go ID proper style 1t would be

= Remarkable Ola Gentlemen.

Rev. Zacharia L. Burson, of ,Bris-
toll, Va, and Bristol, Tenn, his
home in the former and his postoffice
in the latter, is in the city.
The mission which brought Mr..
Burson to Winston Salem was to en-
ter two daughters at the Salem Fe-
male Academy and two sons at the
Davis Military School.
Brother Burson has educated FIVE
daughter at the Salem Academy and
as far back as thirty years ago, when
the entire trip was made by stage at
a period Of fourteen days each way,
he made regular trips to and from
old Salem twice each year bringing
and carrying his girls from College.
Leaving his old homestead in Bed
ford, Va, fifty-four years ago, he
has been busily engaged since in ac-
cumulating interests in Tennessee
and Virginia and, yet, in his 10Th
year, with his locks frosted with
many winters, he is quite active and
in his own words "still-a- growing"
He is the father Of twenty chill
dren and his attachment for the Old
Salem Academy is made manifest by
his endeavor to have all of his girls
educated at that institution.

The ZinzendOrf.

The Hotel Zinzendorf on the prop
erty of the West End Land Compa-
ny is now assuming majestic proper
tions. We have from time to time
said good deal about this building
when it was in its incipient stage,
when it could be simply shown upon
paper drawn by the hand of the
architect, but now since it has as
sumed definite shape and become a
thing real and not imaginary inter-
est in it must necessarily increase.
The Zinzendorf IS destined to con-
tribute good deal toward the up
building of our city. It was badly
needed and will not be completed q
day too soon, and when completed
and opened will fill long felt want.
There are distinguished characters
both in the financial and literary
world that would gladly visit Win
ston but for the lack of such &C.
commodation as this hotel would
furnish.
One of the principal things our
citizens have suffered from is hack
of ample hotel accommodation. It
has been utterly impossible to get
moneyed men to visit our towns sbe
cause we had no place whore we
could properly care for them. As to
the hotels we have there are none in
the State kept better, but it is al
they can Go to properly care 70,
transient travel. What we want il
just such a hotel as the Zinzendor1
and we are quite glad to know tina,
We will soon have it.

George Brooks was an exception

possessor Of those high and noble
traits of character which always COM
mands respect and wins esteem. He
filed apositiOn that could only have
been filed by one of unquestionable
business integrity, discharging every
trust with unfaltering fidelity. His
genial and gentle nature made for
him friends where ever he made ac-
quaintances, but he is gone and we
must give him up, give him up to
the grave for he has crossed over
the border of deaths shadowy land;
gone beyond where the echo of our
voices could reach to call him back.
But it is best, the hand of the Infinite
will be his help, and Heaven his home.
Sleep sweetly, George, beneath the
green turf, your friends will battle
your grave with tears.

Irregular Mail.

Irregular Mail.
We have been reliably informed
that charges have been preferred
aud lodged with the Postal Depart
ment at Washington, D. c., by a
prominent Republican against the
postmaster of this place. The said
charges are based upon gross irreg-
ularities Of the departure of the
mail from this point to Yadkinville.
The mail facilities in this section
can be materially bettered and
should be. There is undoubted evil
dence Of gross neglect or inexcusa-
BILE incompetency somewhere, and
it's the duty of the department to
place that responsibility where it be-
longs and correct it. The Depart
ment should make it its business to
investigate the matter and correct
the trouble. If there is one thing
important to the business world it is
quick and reliable mail facilities and
anything short of this hampers and
hurts business. Every few days
some man reports to US about the
neglect in the transmission of some
important business letter while we
are in constant receipt of enquiries
from our subscribers asking why it
is that they get three and four of
The SENTINELs at one time, three
and four days old, when they have a
daily mail and our papers are mailed
each evening. This method of con-
Quoting the mail has materially hurt
our circulation. Was this all that it
was intended to do?

In MeInoriam.

We, the members of the Twin-City
Club, sorely stricken at heart by the
death of our felloW-member, Geo. FL.
Brooks, wish to- lay,-.a tribute
humble and Inadequate though it
must be-to the memory of our de-
parted friend. We knew him we'll and
knowing him, esteemed, loved and
honored him. Upright and honorable,
his character was without shadow or
reproach. Modest, unassuming, sin
cere and true, he leaves us a gentle
memory that will forever be part and
parcel of the life of the club he loved
SO well.
Though stricken ourselves we fain
would extend our deepest coincidence
to those bound to him by family ties
and upon whom this profound grief
has fallen.

should persist in this matter. Every
age, should be in some school this
session. Prof. John j. Blair, Supt.
of schools, has proposed the follow
ing suggestions:
/. Alfchildren in the town, ofschool
age, ought to either be in some school
or start on Monday, Sept. 18th.
2. There is now room for all and
the very best advantages are offered.
3. When such facilities are offered
by the town every citizen should feel
it incumbent upon him to make use
of the opportunities.
4. Many parents will want to keep
their children in the factories and
stores as long as they can in order
to put a few paltry dollars into their
own pockets, (when it is not q neces-
sity) and deprive the future citizens
of our town of that upon which their
eternal welfare depends.
/. s.. There prevails, regret to say,
to a limited extent among parents
the idea that it is all right to send
child to school when he cannot do
anything else and they expect him in
after years to rise up and call them
blessed.
6. This is.an important period in
the history ofthe schools of our town.
Parents must have confidence in the
success of the North Winston school.
Some prejudice against it will at first
exist and this must be overcome.
Miss Query, the principaland teacher
of the Fourth and Fifth Grades has
made teaching herprofession and has
met with the success which she so
richly deserves. Mrs. J. A. Melon
aid, the assistant principal and
teacher of the Primary Grade, has a
State reputation and our town is to
be congratulated upon securing her
services -.-.-. .. -
