SENSATION AT THE Owe
A Policeman Elopes With a Married
Woman.

A letter from Walnut Cove to THE
SENTINEL states that quite sensa
tion was created in that town a few
days ago by married woman by the
name of Mrs. George clipping with
German 5on's policeman. Green Bar
rett. They left on the Norfolk &
Western train. Regarding their des-
tination no one seems to know
The heartless woman left her four
children, the youngest of which is on
ly 10 or II months old, to be cared for
by other parties.
From the same letter it is learned
that there is some trouble at the
Cove over the assignment of DR.. w.
A. Lash. During the past several
years he sold a number ofGots on
time. The parties who have bought
lots on time have made many I'M
provements and now if DR.. Lash's es-
tate has to be settled up these parties
will necessarily have to pay up or lose
what they have paid. The present
financial situation will cause many to
lose their property if collections are
forced.

To the Editor of the Sentinel.l
/ write to ask you pertinent ques-
tion. Why is it that the authorities
continue to allow John Beard Tor Old
Cheap John, as he calls himself) to
make the racket he does every night +:
And why the people continue to rush
to his place is mystery to me-espe-
cially when the rest of us are doing SO
little business as to make us think it
is Sunday all the time.
Now l am not jealous of John Bear

He probably never intends to pay
his debts while we do. Hence | say
why is it allowed ? FAIR PLAY.

FIRST, the American people must
know that the essential requisite of

reliant, more self-helpful, and learn

SHOT HIS BROTHER.
A Serious wound-Was the Shooting
Accidental?

A shooting scrape occurred Sunday
afternoon at the home of Mr.. William
Cox, few miles northeast of Win
ston.
His two sons. Luther and Leon Coy,
got into scuf1ie, it appears, and in the
fathers attempt to take pistol away
from Leon, it fired, the ball striking
the other son in the forehead, ranging
under the scalp to the back of the
head, where it is still located.
DR.. Summers dressed the wound
He thinks it will not prove serious as
the skull was not injured.
The two sons, The SENTINEL
learns, were drinking and got into d
row at first at 'Alf Stewards. 1t ap.
pears that other young men were con
nected with this difficulty, but nobody
