A DELIGHTFUL OCCASION
SUCCESSFUL REPRESENTATION
OF AMERICA.
Large Attendance-SIperb Manage

uIar Effects

ment-Beautiful Spectac-
ular Effects.
Success, in big letters, was written
all over the entertainment at the Op-
era House on the night of the 10Th.
1t was revelation to the large and
appreciative audience there assem-
bled. Much was expected, but the
expectations of the most hopeful were
more than realized Every scene in
the pantomime of America wa1 q
charm that enraptured the spectators
and invoked outbursts of genuine ap-
plause. 1t was one ot the most salts
factory entertainments ever given in
our city, either by professionals or
amateurs, and every detail was SO ac-
curately executed that it appears
marvellous that such degree of per
fecti9n was reached with only one
weeks rehearsal, and just here we
would remark that special credit q
due Mrs. ". t. Carter and Miss Flor-
ence Slater for their superb manage
ment of this grand and beautiful
spacular entertainment. In DehalfO:
our people and IN Dehalf OF our VolUn-
teer tiremcn we doff our hat to these
ladies and to all who participated or
otherwise assisted, in producing a
success that could only result fIom
talent, tact and persistent energy.
Sometimes, in recOunting events,
the reporter must be careful in the Sc
lection of complimentary terms that
will please and yet do no violence to
truth. But this is one of the occa-
siOns when truth opens wide the door
and says help yourself to the best you
can find in my vocabulary. So that
the superlatives we use in this cOnnec
tion no not represent more briliancy
than was depicted in the charming
scenes of last night. So inspiring, in
deed, were these brilliant scenes COM
memorative of the discovery of our
country, that the horrible nightmare
of hard times was dispelled for the
time being and tie spectators were
sOOthed by the infiowing streams from
pleasures sparkling fountain.

PEOPLES NATIONAL BANK
IrRESU MED BUSINESS STHURSDAY

Capital, Surplus and Univided Prof.
its Uuimpaired-No Assessments
Made on Stockholders,

Winston now has no closed banks
The Peoples resumed business Thurs
day morning at the old stand
Thirty days ago the bank suspend
ed payments, temporarily, owing to a
lack of currency.
Be it said to the credit of the institu-
tion, the capital, surplus and undivid-
ed profits were unimpaired, hence
there were no losses to anybody.
Another fact worth mentioning is that
the bank resumed business without
making any assessment ON the stock
holders.
President Blair tells THE SENTINEL
that the bank resumes business with
better backing and stronger resources
than it ever had before. Nearly all
of the depositors have signed an
agreement not to check for a given
time, but the management will place
all amounts to the accounts subject to
check as soon as possible.

WINSTON TOBACCO MARKET.
Review of the Week-Leaf Sales and
Stamp Collections.

Review of the Week-Leaf Sales and
Stamp Collections.
From the Southern Tobacco Journal, Sept %
The past week has shown up small
receipts of leaf. The planters have
been very busy and kept close at home.
They are in the midst of the curing
season, the week having been most
favorable one for both the outstand-
ing crop and the curers. Sales this
week consisted mostly of nondescript
barn cleanings with here and there
scattering load of fine leaf from the
old crop. Very little new is being
sold, as the curings to this time have
been few.
Prices are degree stronger this
week and the market is taking a per-
manent stand. The buyers have new
confidence and manufacturers are ca
ger buyers for their own account. The
opening of the two suspended banks
here has infused new life into the
trade and prices from now on will be
fully up to ruling quotations.
The past week has been good one
on the growing crop. Tobocco is
ripening up well but it is coarse and
hard to cure. The cures are reported
quite unsatisfactory and but little
fire tobacco is expected from the crop.
The manufacturing trade is in bet
ter shape. Most of the travelling men
have gone out again, quite a number
leaving this week. Orders are coming
in much more freely than for some
time. The following stamp report
shows good sales for the week:

They Came to Winston,

The Greensboro Record says that
Fitzsimons, Schenck, Brown and Ra-
gan, Greensboro boys, took a jaunt
the otler day. Leaving Greensboro
soon in the morning they first went to
Randleman, from there to Asheboro,
High Point, Winston and then back
home, a distance of about 50 miles.
They were not racing against time
but took it leisurely. The roads were
frightfully rough in many pla ces, and
had they been racing the time scored
would have been anything but fiatter-
ing. EighJy-five miles in ten hours,
however, is away beyond what the
best horse can do, aud is almost equal
to what the railroads did during the
WAr.
