There has been good breaks of to-

are glad to see them get good prices.
The man who sells for a high price
wears a different face to the man who
sells low, and when tobacco sells well
business is good.
Well, we have three new stores in
town. All have opened on the same
street and the same side and all nam

and Black John.
Mrs. w. II. Gentry has been very i'll

Prof. Holmes, State GeoIogist, was
with us last evening, much To the

by Il stereopticOn, the views being
made from photographs, and covering
a large range of the most beautiful

They were faithfully reproduced, ac-
curately described, and the whole
affair was pleasant, popular ana high

1916. His great grandfather sprung
from noble family in France. which
emigrated to this country during the
reign of Louis Nv. and settled IN
Louisiana. The name Of the family

"a. G. Beckwith, Democrat, citi-
zen of Evanston, and the Wealthiest
man in Wyoming, viii be a United
States Senator for the next two years.
His selection for that office was an
nounced by Gov. John f. Osborne.
1t became necessary to appoint one
on account of the Legislature adjourn
ing without elecoing.
THE new Senator is genuine WeS-
terner. He has never held but two
offices. One was membership of the
National Worlds Fair Commission,
and the other membership ia the first
town council of Cheyenne. He came
to this place thirty years ago, work
ing his passage across the plains with
a bull. team. He identified himself
with the community by building its
first house and opening grocery.
When the railway came and went on
he went with it and was a rich man
before he settled in Evanston, d thrift
ty town near the Utah line. There
he owns the local bank, herds of cat
tie and tracts of range, coal mines and
coal and timber lands. His hobby is
horses and he breeds trotters on the
finest farm in the mountains.
Mr.. Beckwith was born in New
York sixty years ago, but was in
Missouri with a party OF trappers at
fifteen"

Mad Dog on the Rampage.
of the sentinel.I


TYRo SHOPS, n. c., Feb. 24-We
have had some excellent weather for
marketing tobacco, and Winston has
received great deal of it from this
county during the past few days.
From the signs of the times | think
our farmers are making preparation
for large crop this year, judging
from the number of tobacco beds
burnt and sown.
We are sorry to state that Mr.. Jno.
Koonts is very feeble.
The mad dog scare in this commu-
nifty beats the Legislature all hollow.
Mrs. Tom McBride's dog went mad a
few days ago, and there's no telling
how many dogs he bit in and around
this community. There has been
something near fifty dogs killed for
fear they were bitten by that dog.
Mr.. W. d. Simeson says he has fears
that he bit his cows and horses, as he
saw tracks where he had been running
them. If many more pass through,
the sheep will havea showing.
We are sorry to note the death at
Oak Ridge of our friend Mr.. Hill Pen
ry. Hill was much thought of in our
place.

HENDERSON, n. c., Feb. 21.-The

therein confined for various infrac-
tionS of the decalogue walked forth
unmOleSted and free. There We're two
sets of keys, only one of which was

Correspondence of The Sentinel.l
FOOTvILLE. n. c., Feb. 22.-I un-
derstand that Mr.. Fletcher A. Hol-
comb. of Chestnut Ridge, is making
an effort for the position of Deputy
Collector. When | say that | hope he
will1be successful, is only to rehearse
what his many friends say. Mr.. Hol-
comb is staunch Democrat, and one
who is highly esteemed by all who
know him. He Is alsO7d man of con-
siderable popularity, and perfectly
competent to discharge the duties of
the uotfice. The people of Yadkin
could not pick more suitable man.
This section of the county will stand
solid for him.
AS usual, | notice that the Legsla-
ture has met to make appropriations
for the different colleges. the Worlds
Fair, incorporate banks, and parley
over railroad bills and the like. While
we don't object to that, enact some
little bills that would be a benefit to
the masses. When a member there
has grit and backbone enough to in
troduce a bill to amend or abolish the
homestead law, or to pass dog law,
nothing will do but to table it. 1t
appears that the members are afraid
to enact any law that will effect the
masses, for fear some one will not like it
and they might not get go back next
time.I like to see men with grit enough
to do what is right, let the public say
what it may. Those are the kid OF
men we need.
