that is claimed.
Colored Baptist Church.
The colored Baptist Church quite
recently commenced and finished was
dedicated here on Sunday last, Rev.
A. Green officiating Great credit is
due those interested in this church
for the manner in which everything
has been conducted particularly the
speedy building of the church.
Our City Fathers-
The attention and prayerful con
sideration of our City Fathers is
directed to the fearful exhalations
that arise in the quiet of the stilly
night. Look after this all important,
work and take steps immediately to
obviate the serious troubles that will
come, necessarily, if this State of
things are allowed to continue.. “A
stitch in time,” etc.
Young Men’s Christian Association.
We attended the Young Men’s
Christian Association meeting at the
Baptist Church last Monday night. It
is indeed gratifying to see the inter
est taken in it and if the same zeal as
now manifested is kept up, it will re
sult in a glorious outpouring of the
spirit and miirty accessions to the
Church will follow. The young men
seem especially interested and it was
at their earnest solicitation that this
called meeting was arranged. Several
new names were added to the roll and
quite a number went up for prayer.
The spirit was present, wooing and
trying to win. Yield to its gentle
pleading young men and you will not
regret it in after years.
A TRAGEDY”

Wagon which Ends in Death-
On the 9th inst., two negroes la
the name of Nace Pollard and Eli
Cobb, living on Mr. R. W. Lamkin’s
plantation, in Number Three, hail a
dispute relative to driving a wagon,
which led to a quarrel and finally to
blows in which Pollard took a single
tree and dealt Cobb a blow which pro
duced death. On Saturday morning
last an inquest was held over the body
of Cobb and the jury returned a vefr
dict of murder. Pollard made hiß
escape and is still at large.

Examination.
The examination of th* Harletlr
High School embraced Monday anjl
Tuesday of last week. It was a de
cided success notwithstanding the fact
that the school was broken up to
some extent by the breaking out of
measels in our town a few weeks prior
to the close of the term.
The examination was very satis
factory to all and reflected great
credit upon Prof, Edington and his
assistants. The ready manner in
which all questions propounded wens
answered, proved conclusively that tlie
training was thoroughly and skillfully
don*. Two much cannot be said in
behalf of the management and as a
token of the esteem in which Prof.
Ellington is held in this community,
the board of Trustees elected lull
without a desenting voice, for a
term of five years. Their action was
indeed complimentary and will be
duly appreciated. May success con
tinue to crown his efforts. Tlie
Sentinel heartily endorses the action
•of the Trustees.
SILVAS (ITY HOTEL
About a year ago nt our school ex
amination and exhibition one of our
lovely young Indies very beautifully
outlined. Harlem in her vivid imagi
nation, and nmoi)'.'' other important
features connected with her future
was “The Sylvan City Hotel" with its
fifty elegant rooms, spacious halls,
lengthy varandas and lofty dome with
all the modern improvements, such as
electric bells, gas and water, both het
and cold throughout the entire struc
ture. -This 1 lotel question has revived
again within the last few days and
now is the time to move and move
with a vim in this matter. Now is the
time while all are enthused and alive
to the importance of supplying at
once this long felt need. The plan
now under discussion is to form a
stock company under a charter, in
corporating the company with a
capital stock of $20,000, with shares
at one hundred dollars each.
Citizens of Harlem and vicinity yon
should not allow this laudable enter
prise to lag, think about it, talk about,
and work for the accomplishment of
it, and it will be the making of our
lovely little town which is said to be
one of the most desirable places in
this part of Georgia for a Hotel adapt
ed to the wants and comforts of Ati
gustans in summer and Northern
people in winter. Nature with her
lavish band seems to have provided
this particular spot with all the re
quisites that tend to make a resort both
summer and winter. And now idl
that is necessary to make it blossom
as a lose ami bring forth fruit in
abundance is co-operation, tree inter
change of views and plans and the
judicious expenditure of twenty
thousand dollars. Let us begin and
endeavor to help ourselves and when
we have demonstrated beyond ques
tion our intention and ability to ac
complish this work, others will lend a
helping hand and bid us God speed
in this grand undertaking. Now lets
have a meeting for the purpose of de
termining what course to pursue mid
tit Ibis meeting elect a President,
Vice President, Secretary and Treas
urer and board of directors and get
ready for action.
Nothing could possibly add so ma
terially to the interest of Harlem as
the building of the Sylvan City Hotel.
We will not attempt, to enumerate the
many advantages that would follow
naturally upon the track of such an
enterprise. All are directly interested
and vitally so in this movement. The
capitalist, the land bolder, the mer
chant, lawyer, doctor, mechanic and
in fact all. It would enhance our
school interest and railroad facilities
and in a few years till the waste places
would be filled and others industries
would spring up and soon the hum of
business would be heard.
F. D. Gray For Clerk.
Editors Sentinel:
Without Mr. Gray’s knowledge we
write this believing be so justly merits
it. Mr. Gray is a young man of good
education, ami he possesses a noble
and honorable character. He has
been raised in his office and is thor
oughly familiar with its records and
details. He is polite and accommo
dating to all, and bis competency can
not be deni- d. It would be anMnjury
to the county to put in a new man
whoever he may be, for he will have
to learn by an extensive experience
what Mr. Gray is familiar with.

—A house full of healthy, hearty
children presided over by Christian
parents is a heaven on earth, but
home is anything but pleasant when
full of sick fretful children. Provide
them with White’s Cream N ermifnge
which never fails when used accord
ing to directions for the expulsion of
worms. This remedy is the best ever
offered the public. It moves the
worms sure as death.
Mr- George Olive-
Editors .Sentinel:
Squibs occasionally appear in your
paper that are quite flattering to Mr.
Frank Gray, all ot which we endorse.
His opponent Mr. Geo. Olive, who is
equally deserving has not received j
this flattering notice. He is capable ;
and honest. The people’s interest
will not suffer in his hands, a fact
which is fully realized by all who
know him. He has an afflicted family
dependent upon him. His physical
strength is fast giving way by his en- .
deavors to meet these requirements
by the product of a small farm. This
opportunity opens up away to some
thing better for him. Ho was brought
out by no ring or clique. A tew of
his intimate friends saw this chance
ami alter consulting with others, de
cided that this was the time to puttheir
friend in a position where he could
make a comfortable living, even with
his impaired health. It was only
after strong solicitation that he would
consent to enter the race. But after
having done so we want to give him
a hearty support. We have nothing
to say against our young friend Mr.
Gray. Ho may be a worthy young
man. But the oiliee Ims been in that
family ho long they look upon it ns a
family inheritance, that it belongs to
them by right of possession, while
in fact it is the gift of the people, mid
wo n part of the voters or representa
tives of the people ask for a change,
and in making the change, let us give
it to one who is fully capable and will
appreciate the honor. If the people
will lay all prejudice aside mid give
this matter a careful mid prayerful
consideration we have no ferns of tho
result. Atal he sill enter upon tho
duties of his oilice with tho endorse
ment of every tax-payor in his district
and a hearty “God bless you George”
from the lips of every man, woman
mid child that knows him.

I’rof- J W. Ellington.
Editors Sentinel:
Wo are not inclined to undue
compliments; but we feel that Prof.
Ellington is justly entitled to all the
good that cun bo said of him. As a
citizen he is true and vigilant to the
best interests of the community and n
minister to the sick. As a teacher we
believe he is one of tho best Harlem
has ever had ;a thorough disciplinarian
and a faithful teacher who lias imide
teaching his life work, and like Hugh
Miller puts “his conscience into every
stone he cuts.” We hope tho Trustees
will elect him for three years, at least
and lot us consolidate and have a
school in Harlem equal to tho Beaman
school at Mt. Zion. Columbian.
—What is home without the
children? Sad indeed without their
merry voices and endearing ways.
To endeavor to keep thorn in health
is a pleasant duty, and a dcse of
White's Cream Vermifuge administer
ed when needed never fails to pro
duce tho desired effect, and u lot of
ugly worms is expelled; which, if
allowed to remain would cause the
child untold suffering.

Editors Sentinel:
1 have been informed that Mr,
William Lazenby, my opponent for
Tux Collector has obtained certain
cert i that ch for the purpose, I sup
pose, of injuring me in the coming
election. 1 feel it u duty I owe to my
friends to make an explanation as to
what these certificates mean.
Sometime ago I was handed a copy
lof resolutions by Win. Hendrix to
read that was opposed to the Stock
i Law. Ho asked mo if I could endorse
| them I replied that I could. After*
i wards in one of their meetings it is
[said that certain parties stated that
| they were authorized to sign my name
■to the resolutions. Subsequently Mr.
Win. Lansdell inquired of me if 1 had
authorized such I told him I had not,
I gave no such authority as the cer -
tincate of Messrs. hendrix nnd
Prather below will show. In justice
tothese gentlemen however, I will say,
if they took the liberty in using my
name to tho extent alleged I attach
no blame whatever to them as I know
it was not for the purpose of doing
me any harm. It is generally known
that 1 have always been a fence man.
If my friends are disposed to with
draw tin ir support from me on this
account I see no other alternative left
me but to submit.
Oliver Hardy.
Harlem, Ga., July 10, 1886.
We hereby certify that we signed
tho mime of Oliver Hardy to our
fence resolutions without his authority
or consent. J. M. Pratheb.
