most of the issues in search of
material for her history of the

pages, which also record advent
ures of county men in the wars
that followed.
Also recorded is trouble with
the Indians, the Mexican War, the
Spanish-American, World War I
and now World War IL. Is it sur

Several months ago we wrote
in this column that the present
owner of The Sentinel first came
to Rockville at the suggestion of
the Rockville Chamber of Com
merce that he establish here
paper that would be to the town
and the surrounding county what
his Ellicott City Times is to
Howard County.
Since that time numerous people
have asked "what has become of
that Chamber of Commerce of
Rockville of which you wrote ?"
We passed the question on to
Bache Albert one day he answer
ed briefly at was talked to death.
Well, it is nice to know that it was
not dead but only sleeping, and
that it is to be revived.
Curiosity led us to look back to
the file of 1882 when this paper
passed from the hands of the Field
family after II years. One only
has to read a few issues to real
ize how closely it and The Cham
Der Of Commerce worked together
for the good of the people.
Remember the depression of that
year? There was little money to
spend so the business and profess
ional men got together and put on
an advertising campaign designed
to keep that little cash in the
county by letting the people know
just what they could buy in their
home town instead of going to the
city for it. We remember being
surprised to learn that Willie Stein
berg sold Num- Bush Shoes, for
one thing. Working with the edit
or, Townsend Howes, under the d.
rection of Morris Stern, Mrs. Alice
Cashell Berry and DR.. Tommy
Waters, who formed the executive
committee of business men, they
started with two page spread in
the Sentinel made up by ads from
30 of Rockville's leading business
places. Later from all over the
county came ads designed to help
bring prosperity to their commun-
tiles.
Letters printed in later editions
of The Sentinel from persons
around the town and county speak
of advantages of knowing just
what could be bought at home and
where they could obtain certain
services. There are also letters
from be merchants saying their
sales hd Peen greatly stepped up
since the advertising campaign had
begun, and expressing their ap-
probation for the continuance of
the old hometown paper, which
seemed to have taken on new life.
The Sentinel hopes to have a
large part in the post war plans
for the county just as it has had
in every emergency that has arisen
since Matthew Fields put out the
first number in 1855, when the
, storm clouds were gathering over
the slavery question. The county
was predominantly Southern in
sympathy so it is not surprising
to find the publisher nine years
later, in a Federal Prison for
expressing views too outspoken.
But before that he had helped
put down The Know Nothing
Party that was a new one to the
writer it seems to have been
most active in the Poolesville sec
ton, but it was pretty general
over the county. In the August 25,
1856, Sentinel there is an account
of public meeting held at Pooles-
vile to establish the Medley Dist
riot Democratic Association to
"stem the tide of Know Nothing
