THE SENTINEL PLANT SOLD.

With this issue we sever our con-
nection with THE DAILY and WEEKLY
SENTINEL as editor and proprietor,
and take this occasion to introduce
to our patrons Mr.. VIM. F. Burbank,
late OF California but more recently
of the city of New York, to whom we
have sold our entire interest in the
newspaper business in Winston.
In parting with our friends and the
patrons of the paper, we must beg
to be permitted to make a very brief
reference to our connection with the
newspaper business in this city.
For nearly seven years we have
been connected with daily paper in
Winston, six years of which time we
have owned and edited THE TWIN
CITY DAILY (now SENTINEL We
need not here allude to our early
struggle, our trials and our triumphs,
our unfaltering devotion to every
cause that meant tie advancement
of these cities progress-the better
ment ofthe condition oftheir people-
these facts will constitute a part of
the history of this paper interviewer
with these people, and whether it be
written or not it will live in the MEM
DRY of those for whom it has labored.
That through it's influence we were
able to secure many valuable and
permanent improvements here is a
fact that we mention with pardon
able pride. 1t will always bea source
of pleasant reflection to us to know
that we were instrumental in helping
our twin towns forward.
Nearly two years ago we purchase
ed The WEEKLY SENTINEL and con-
solidated it with THE DAILY under
one management-believ it would
enable us to better serve the interest
of this community by such an ar
rangement and at the same time We
could conduct. both papers with
greater economy, subsequent facts
have proven the wisdom of this
course. 1t has been more the mis-
sion of the weekly to serve the inter-
est of our agricultural friends and
endeavor to aid them in their meth
DDS for securing health, wealth and
happiness.
The SENTINEL has always been the
faithful friend of the farmer, but it
could not follow after the political
will-o'-the wisp, or the false and per-
nicious doctrines taught and promul-
gated by political demagogues and
broken down office seekers. It has
always spokenits conscientious opin-
ion aud stood upon the broad
ground of an honest conviction.
The politics of the daily and week
~ have been Democratic, pure and
simple, their devotion to the princi-
pies and policies of the party have
been unquestionable sincere. They
have believed and have advocated
the fact that the supremacy of the
Democratic party meant the saliva
ton OF the South, meant the solidity
and permanency of it's financial sys-
tenn, of the protection and perpetual
tor of it's social system. in fact the
happiness of our homes. and purity
of our women.
We have striven to keep from the
columns of these papers every inn
pure line or suggestion of immorali-
ty and have tried to have them SO
chdste that they might be laid in the
lap of innocent childhood with no
fear of harm or hurt to mind or
heart-no tendency to tarnish. In
pursuing this course we may not
have gratified the morbid taste of
the vicious or pandered to the wish
Of the sensationalist but we have
published paper that has hurt no
home.
Mr.. VIM F. Burbank, who succeeds
rs IN the management of The SENTI-
