Let IL BE Known.

You may know that you have the
best assorted stock in town, but the
public will not know it unless you tell
them about It; they are not clairvoy-
ants. First use the newspapers liber-
ally, then circulars, personal letters,
talk to them when you can catch them
in your store, at their homes-any-
where. The first and last thing to
bear in mind about advertising is that
it is as wide as human nature in it's
appeal.
Advertising is the mighty engine Of
success, and without it the business
world would be minus its dynamo Of
energy.

Mrs. G.. W. Eatman, Passes Away.

Mrs. G.. w. Eatman, wife of G. w.

at 1890 O'Clock Tuesday morning OF

FASTENED across the street to the res
idence OF DR.. u. J.. Brown and sum-
moned him. DR.. Brown only reached
her few minutes before her spirit
took its flight from its tenement of
clay to the God who gave it.
Mrs. Eatman was about fOrty-five
years old. She was reared at Coma
les, Texas, where she has sister and
other relatives. She was noble
Christian character, and possessed all
the mOtherly instincts Of devotion t.
her home and to her children. Death
always leaves sorrow in its wake but
it is doubly sad when a good mother
is taken and little children are bereft
of that care which none but q mother
can give. But God makes no mis-
takes. In the bye and bye it will all
be revealed and then it will be seen and
understood that what our Heavenly
Father did was in love and not in an
ger. May the devoted husband and
his little children take this view OF
it and resolve anew to meet their
loved one on the shores of the New
Jerusalem.
The funeral was conducted by Rev.
j. w. Lee, pastor of the Central Bap-
tist church OF which Mrs. Eatman
had been member, from the family
residence on Wednesday afternoon af-
ter which interment was had at Odd
Fellows Cemetery. The Sentinel ex-
tends sincere sympathy to the bereft

Hon. T. l.. Lamb Asks a Reelection.

Hon. T. L. Lamb, who a few
months ago was elected to fill out the
unexpred te m as diStrict-attOrney Of
the Hon. II. q. .Sissor, asks the voters OF
the district that he be retained in the
Office for the next four years. Aside
from the fact that Mr.. Lamb is a
hightoned Christian gentleman, thor
oughly identified with the best that is
in society and good government, he is
a splendid lawyer with the proper
tact and judicial judgment, and his
short term in the office OF district
attorney stamps him as one of the
best and most successful prosecutors
the district has ever had. His work
here at this term of the court in the
apprehenslon of some who have been
thought to be running blind tigers for
a long while and other energetic work
of the kind, warrants the public in re-
posing confidence in him and warns
law-breakers that he will not wink at
their practices. Such a public off,
cial, can, With confidence, go before
his constituency for Reimbursement.

Saturday morning some negroes diS

a farm just west Of town, in a semi
conscious condition. AS soon as the
information reached Sheriff w. III

some deputies TO where the young
man was, and he was taken charge OF
and brought into town. Lying by
him was an empty bottle that bad

was the following message written In
a barely legible hand:

punish a poor boy like me. God have
mercy on me-"
Medical aid was given the poor man,
but he never regained consciousness,
and the deadly drug which he had
taken accomplished the puopoSe for
which he took it, and he died at an
early hour Saturday night. Commu-
nication was at once had with the
city marshall at Mulberry Grove, Ill.,,

Hicks Forecast for February.

According to Irl Hicks, the wealth
er prophet, the forecast for February
is not conducive to fond anticipations.
From the 7th to the 18th is called
the danger period, and violent Svorms
in southern sections are probable.
This period will likely be followed by
floods, and severe billiards., sleet
storms and blockades in the north.
Electtical storms, followed by a cold
wave is the prediction for the middle
of the menth. The latter part of the
month may bring about furious snow
storms, and taken as a whole the en-
tire month, according to forecasts, is
likely to be very diSagreeable.

KNEW WHAT HE WANTED.
Astute Yankee Made Money by Wear.
ing Queer Pair of Trousers.

A Massachusetts man tells story
of "Old John Langley, veteran Wor-
cester horseman, that is illustrative OF
Yankee astuteiess.
One day Langley sought his tailor
and in somewhat profane terms de-
manded "a pair of breeches of the best
stuff in the shop" OF the many sam
pies submitted "Old John" hit upon a
beautiful silky broadcloth, the most
costly piece of goods the tailor had,
and, although this was most unsuitable
for the purpose, Langley insisted that
1t was jNst what he wanted Further
more, he declared that he desired it
made up wrong side out
The tailor eXpostulated in vain but
the trousers were made as per specifi
cations, and delivered.
A day or so thereafter a friend, CALI
ing, on Langley, remarked on the trou'
sers in uncomplimentary language.
Langley said he was satisfied. More
guying resulted in an offer from "Old
John" to- bet $50 that the cloth cost
more per yard than that in his friends
trousers. The bet was taken and the
tailor was to decide it. re named the
price. The friend would not believe
that the rough goods could be SO costly
until he was shown the shiny silky
side. Then he paid. as other men had
on similar bets. so that odd John
reaped quite harvest on his original
idea. t.
