NEWSPAPER NOTES.

| The printing pardphernaiia is in place
in the Comstock building, and Geo.
". Goldsmith is ditor-extraordinary
and printer-plenipotentiary. The
first number appeared last week. We
salute the sentinel. It's name will be
no misnomer.
A Sentinel must be Sleepless: He
must see things. He must look and
listen in all directions. He must let
nothing pass. So the Sentinel will
be wide-awake. 1t will be always on
the watch. 1t will have more than
one idea. Its observations will not
be one sided.
A Sentinel must be sure-sighted:
He must make no mistakes. He must
see things as they are. He must not
confound stray sheep with a danger
Gus enemy. He should raise no false
alarms. He ought not to arouse an
army and set men to shooting each
other, thinking the while that they
are fighting the foe, So the Sentinel
will not see spooks. 1t will raise no
.ructionn in the ranks. 1t will tell
the truth but it will not aim to
alarm.
A Sentinel must shoot: When the
enemy gets too near he will pull the
trigger He will not skulk nor sur
render He will not give up his gun
nor cast away his cartridge box. He
will not silently sit down and ret the
enemy ride over him. l. own safety
and the safety of his comrades de-
mands that his gun shall go off. So
the Sentinel will fire on every foe
that charges upon our city. 1t will
shoot at every subject that endangers
her enterprises. Our acquaintance
with the Sentinel scribe prompts
these predictions. Will they be full
filled? Time will tell. General
Goldsmith here's Herald helpers

have peace.
BUSINESS BONBONs.
The Farmers Telephone line is
booming business in Boscobel. 1t
has moved its headquarters from the
room occupied by Pullen & Perkins
into the restaurant of Mrs. Furderer,
where it will furnish night and Sun
day service. Several of our business
establishments have been wired by
this company and applications have
already been made for the placing OF
twenty additional phones. Miss Liz
zie Furderer will be the new ''hello
girl"
With the charming Cora on one
side of the street and the laughing
Lizzie on the other, the boys of Bos
cobel will want to phone real often.
We saw a chap on the street looking
both ways and thought we heard him
humming
How happy could be with either
We're tother dear charmer away.
Orders for rural free delivery mail
boxes continue to come in from Idaho
Oregon, Missouri and other states as
well - from our own. 1t looks as if
the Ruka Manufacturing Co., would
continue to be behind with their or
ders for some time to come.
