SENTINEL’S MISFORTUNE.
The Wall and Koof Fell in and the
Smashup Was Complete.
Slightly Disfigured we are Still in the
Ring, After Missing Only One Issue
of Paper.—Our new Quarters
Several hundred pounds of body
and newspaper type completely
demolished—galleys, stands, cases
imposing stones and other mate
rial, useful in our office, have been
destroyed since we greeted weeks our
friends and subscribers two
ago. It happened Saturday after
noon, August 4th, while some
what of a severe wind and
storm was in progress. A tall brick
parapet wall, intended as an or
nament, we suppose extended
about fifteen to eighteen feet
above the front roof of the large
room occupied by the Sentinel.

A SOCIAL EVENT.
Last Friday evening at the beautiful
home of Mr. and Mrs. J W. Walters a
“Pink Tea’’ was given by their daught
er Miss Bessie, to several friends.
Japanese lanters, brilliantly lighted,
were suspended in the vine-clad veran
da, and pot plants and flowers of every
description were tastefully arranged,
which, with the soft rays of the moon,
presented a beautiful scene.
The guests were given penut hulls
tied with pink ribbon, in which were
enclosed parts of poems. Persons
having parts of the same verse were
the ones whom fortune had destined to
meet. Each couple was then intro
duced by Col. W. H. Dorris. This
brought on a contest for the most
graceful bow in which Miss Ethel Stoy
and Mr. Levy Taylor were the success
ful couple. The prize was delivered
in a happy speech by Mr. B. H. Palmer.
Tables were arranged from which were
served refreshments.
Eacli guest, by request, brought their
greatest horror. The display of these
horrors and the explanation why they
were their horror created quite a great
deal of amusement.
The following were present: Misses
Pearl Clark, Epsie Bush, Nettie Web
ster, Annie Smith, Bessie Smith, Lilia
Ray, Rosa Stocks, Ethel Stoy, Edna
Killian, Corra Weston, Eula Madox,
