To Readers of Tie Sentinel.

In taking the management of
The Pickens Sentinel we do SO
with a mingled feeling of joy
and GRep1dation. Joy at being,
back mS Pickens and among S.
clever a paople; trepidation that
comes to an but the egotisS on
entering a M work. You read
Mr.. Robins announcement
last week. Peek we take
the management of The Senti-
mel and shall strive and seek by
honest and faithful effort and
endeavor TO merit your approval
and support.
We are no stranger to news
paper work nor to Pickens coun-
ty. Being familiar with news
paper work we do not expect to
make a mint of money; being
familiar with the people Of Pick
ems we do expect the liberal sup
port that a county paper natur-
ally deserves, and which we
shall strive to make this one
doubly deserve.
It is our earnest and sincere
desire to produce a real county
newspaper, making the county
news and happenings the fea-
ture; a paper which will be wei
coined into the homes each week
by every member of the family;
which may be read with inter
est, profit and pleasure; and not
with a fear of reading some
thing distasteful.
A county newspaper has a
place to fill which no other me-
dunn can fill. We shall make
The Sentinel measure up to the
standard.
We shall not be able to please
everybody and that we shaQ
make some mistakes is a fore
gone conclusion, since the man
hasAot yet been born who could
please all, and who knew Just
the right thing to do in every in
stance. But we shall not inten-
tionally displease any one for
any reason, and in all things,
fearing no man, we shall do the
right as our conscience dictates.
With these few words we SET
to our task of making for you a
paper of which we may all be
PROUD, and we ask your support
and cooperation. 1t will be
) appreciated and we hope will be
deserved.
GARY HOT.
