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. Citizen. —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. Justice. Tv ‘out of sorts’ with headache, stomach disorder, torpid liver, pain In backer side,o.ii mpntton, etc , aeklect may be tatal. (Inc dose of htronv'a Sanative Pills will give relief. A low doses restore to new health and vi|fur. 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.
