HONEST OPINION.

Is that if you want thing to sue
ceed, and want the people to know
about 1t, the thing to do, is to ad-
vertise it, and advertise it plenty.
And another thing it convinced me.
was that the proper medium for such
advertising is The Sentinel. Why
every day man picked up The SEN
tinel, he found in all sorts of places
and on every page, something about
the May Day ball. There was none
of the local stuff carried over each day
to tire person, and it was kept
bright and fresh from day to day
1t was the only thing which DIR ew the
immense crowd to the ball, and
afforded them a good time. The fact
that The Sentinel did the main push
ing for that event, is what convinced
me that it is the paper that the peo-
pie read, and therefore the medium
by which a merchant can reach the
greatest number of people.
This is no fake story. 1t was an
actual conversation which took place
in the presence of more than one per-
son, and the merchant who is quoted,
is one of the most reliable men in the
city, whose opinion came entirely
unsolicited, and is therefore worth
great deal to anyone who will follow
his advice.

1t is estimated that there are about

Nearly all the Cninamen in the
United States come from the single
province of Kwong-Tung. the most pop
ulous of the eighteen provinces of the
Chinese empire. It's capital is Can

A VALENTINE Law SUIT.
Trouble That May Result Over q
Simple Incident.

Glasco. March 16-This town has made
itself famous because they have as good
a football team as can be found in Kan
sas. And now some of her people are
trying to be famous over a valentine
social given by the Helping Hand soci-
ETY. of the Presbyterian church A val
entine was furnished the society by one
of the merchants for SITS, and while
the committee of ladies thought it too
high price for a valentine social IN
Glasco the merchant sent it along and
told the committee if it brought that
price he would donate the half of it to
the society. It was put up and voted to
the most popular lady, Miss Ollie Biggs
being the winner. and brought between
So and 50. The Helping Hand club ten
dered the merchant the price he charg-
ed, but he refuses it. and is holding out
for the one-half what it brought, and
the society refuses. There is considera BILE
excitement over the affair in church cir
cles, and it is said the end is not in
sight, and may result in law suit
