THE SENTINEL continues to come,
now and chen, but always a day or
two behind time We Join the Mana
correspondent in making complaint
against such irregularity. 1t is dis
gushing to say the least, and must be
carlessness in the Winston pOstoffice.
Where such gross negligence exists
the postmaster should be removed.
The warm dry weather has been
succeeded by cold rain, but is clear
ing off warm. Fruit is still safe, and
the orchards are beautifully clad in
their spring cOlOrs.
Farmers have been rushing with
their work and they are well along
with it. Many Of them have planted
most Of their corn, and by the way,
there will be much larger crop
planted than common. This is a wise
plan, for no community can. prosper
where farmers have their cribs and
smokehouses in the west. The farm
er must raise his own supplies if he
would prosper, especially must he do
this when the money crops are so low.
There is little news afloat about our
village. Every one seems to be at
work and few people come to town.
DR.. w. S. Windsor will leave in a
few days for the west. He goes to
look up location for the practice of
his profession.
Messrs. J. A. Craver and G. W.
Hoots have started a tannery near
Cross Roads.
Mr.. George Wilkins is very i'll. He
is very old man and is not expected

TIVE Brothers Arrested - ADRIAN
Walker the Man Who Received Two
Loads of Shot.
Kernersville was the scene OF
lively shooting scrape Saturday even
ing.
Two brothers, Henry and Joe Dick
ems. and Adrian Walker, all white,
decided to have a little shooting
match of their own.
The best shot was to take the gun.
After several rounds there arose dis
pute and in consequence lively times
followed.
Walker, it appears claimed that he
was the best marksman and had justly
won the prize which was an old shot
gun.
The two brothers became angry and
so did Walker. The former took the
old shot gun and used it with fearful
effect by shooting Walker twice in the
breast.
Strange to say, the wounded man
has not been seen since the shooting
took place. On the other hand the
two Dickens were ARRESTED and are

Sermons by Measure.
From the Washington Star.l

Agitation in favor of fifteen-minute
sermons still continues in several
parts of the country, and some of
those who measure oratory by the
yard and think it ought to be paid
for after the same plan want to re-
duce ministerial salaries in the same
ratio. That is an unfair movement.
The preacher who can satisfactorily
condense thought and language
should receive twice as much money
as he who stretches his discourse and
the congregational patience almost
to the breaking point.
