THE rorULAR GAME.
ITS EFFCT UPON THE SYLVAN CITY.
One of Harlem’s genial merchants
penned the following while sitting in
the SentiNlx office door a few days
ago:
“Owing to the fact that my best
customers have not time to buy goods
at the usual prices, because the time
for the game (marbles) is from early
breakfast to late supper I have de
termined to sell goods for the next
ton days below the “rock bottom,” in
order to obtain enough of the filthy
lucre to meet ray Ist of June pay
ments and have enough loft to buy a
first-class taw and be sociable with
my customers.'*
Imperlant Meeting.
Editors Sentinel :
All interested in the new Academy
are requested to meet on Saturday
next, nt 4 o’clock sharp, at which
time the contract will be let so the
work can go on at once.
Come up friends, let uabavearous
infi meeting. We are just mounting
the steepest giade; a loi g pull, a
strong pull, etc., is nil that is needed.
One oe the Committee.
Snstaiaed.
The board of Trustees of the
Harlem High School met at the store
of Hatcher Bros, yesterday after
noon to take into consideration the
charges prefered against our teacher,
for whipping a pupil. After hearing
the evidence the board decided Unit
they had no jurisdiction iu the mat
ter. A very wise conclusion to arrive
at, as it was clearly and unmistakably
a personal matter. It would have
been very damaging to our prospects
just at tins particular time had our
board been composed of men who
would have acted differently in the
premises Hud the charges been sus
tniued our school would have been
irrevoknbly ruined. In such an event
we would have no use for the old
building, to say nothing of tho band
some new one we propose to erect at
an early day. “Spare the rod and
spoil the child.” No truer speech was
ever uttered.
The Dead Editor.
He is gone. He sleeps that long,
last sleep from which there is no
awakening in this life. His ears will
never hearken again to the music-id
voice of the “devil” when he yells the
magic word, copy. No more will that
good right baud grasp the facile
shears. No more will those mellow
eyes look pleadingly over the bar. No
more will those honest lips claim
1500 circulation for Tho Tooter. He
is gone. His place in the sanctum is
vacant. His place at the free lunch
counter is filled by another. ‘The way
worn and weury shears rust in idle-,
ness. The yasle sours in the pot and
the cockroaches break through to de
vour it. The well worn railroad pass
rests in peace side by side with the I
circus “comp.” The country exchange I
lies in its wrapper (it also lies when ;
not in its wrapper.) The delinquent
subscriber receives no more duns.
The big pumpkin rots in the sanctum
and the farmer who brought it gets
no puff. The Tooter is iu mourning, i
Its creditors also mourn. The column
rules are inverted. The office towel 1

lis tied on the door. The “devil’
sleeps sweetly in the corner, while the
' fore fn an is on n drunk and the tramp
I printer steels the rules and the sticks
; and goes on his way. Tho fait ful
gallon jug sits under the table in silent
meditation. It is empty showing that
in his last moments the editor never
forgot his duty. The little clock ticks
on, but the editor will go on tick
I never again. His sand of life and
whisky ran out at the same time. —Ex.
FMH THE,
SAM JONES TALKS TO THE ROMAN'S ABOUT
TRUTH, HONESTY, ETC.
Romo Courier : A man can look at
truth till he loves truth ; likewise n
man can think of tho opposite until ho
becomes a liar. A thief is a gentle
man beside a liar. It is a real tonic
to sit down and hear a man tell a tale 1
ai.d stick to tho truth all through.
Sometimes we run trp with a fellow
who don't lio, and I feel like asking
him if ho don't fool lonesome iu this
world.
How truth adorns tho character.
“He swoareth to his own hart and
changeth not.” A man tells one lie
and then tells a hundred to cover
that up.
“It in a tangled web wo weave,
While we labor to deceive.”
Homo people say they can't get
credit because they nro poor ; but
that is a mistake. It is not how much
money a fellow has got, but what sort
of a fellow he is. Will he do to trust?
Mr. Jones then took up honesty.
The old ndnge, “an honest mnn is tho
noblest work of God,” wns almost
good enough to ]insto iu the back of
your Bible. lie spoke of the honesty
of the Hardshells, and how they could
be relied upon in commercial transac
tions.
While he was throwing rocks
around among the mon about hones
ty, lie turned his attention for a few
moments, to the good sisters, and
said some caustic things about the
sale of clothes to colored people fin
more than they were worth, and then
going off and bragging about what
good trades they are. Ho also said
some plain words about tho small
wages paid the cooks. Now, said he,
some of you will say, “Mr. Jones, you
are throwing a dampness over tho
meeting.” “Well, if I can got you to
be honest, we can stand tho dump
ness.” “I am for the under dog, ul
ways, in the fight.”
We lack downright, upright hones
ty. Wo uro talking about things now
that will make uh shout in heaven.
“Whatsoever things are just,” think
on them. Be just to your wife. God
pity a man who is better to his cook
than to his wife. Sometimes we nro
very unjust to our children. Justice
means giving every man bis duos.
You may be unjust to your pastor. If
you don’t help your pastor in prayer
meetings ; visiting the sick, you treat
him unjustly.
Old and Fierce-
Augusta'Chronicle: A private letter
received in tho city yesterday stated
that Tom Williams, an old sportsman
<f Lincoln county, hud kil'e I a bald
eagle measuring eight feet from tip
to tip. It was old and fierce, fightii g
viciously for some time before giving
up the ghost.
STILL ANOTHER.
A gentleman in tho southern por
tion of the city is tho possessor of a
large gray eagle, measuring six feet
from tip to tip. The bird was captur
ed by a party of hunters just below ;
the city. They broke its wing with
heavy bird shot, and, it becoming en
tangled in some vines, they captured
it, not, however, without a fierce
struggle on the part of the king of;
birds.

A Fated Family
I’eter Culp in the Athens Banner:
'I nm almost a fatalist. At least there
‘ seems to me that a strong fatality
bangs around my family. I bad a
brother and sister shot and killed. I
had a nephew shot and killed in cold
blood by the East Tennessee tories
during tho late war, and since an
other nephew killed (J. H. Hunter) at
Quitman, Gil, lq a negro politician,
and I should have been killed many
years since had it not been decreed.
There nre other strange things con
nected with my life.
Bitten by a Snake-
The Greenesboro Herald and
Journal says that on last Tuesday a
negro man living'on Captain John
Branch's place wus bitten by a rattle
snake. It seems that bo caught the
snake in the early afternoon nnd tied
him, ho that when he had finished his
day’s work ho might take bis pet
homo. But the taking was more than
ho had bargained for. In an effort to
catch his snakesliip back of the neck,
lie was not quick enough, and the
work was done; lie was bitten.
BURIED HIVE.
EXPLOSION IN A MINE NEAR UI.IHOOW.
Glasgow, May 28.—A terrible ex
plosion Inis occurred in the Udston
coal pit, nt Bhuityre, a village in Lan
arkshire, eight miles from this city.—
Forty-five miners who wore impris
oned in the upper soiun of the pit
wore riH'ued, but one of them
died after being 110 ight to tho
surface. Tho others are suffering
however, from tho effects of tho chock
and fire damp. Access to the lowest
seam, whore 70 men nro confined, is
found to bo blocked by debris tum
bled down by the explosion. It was
in this seam that tho explosion occur
red, mid it is not believed that nuy of
the 70 imprisoned there can be rec
cmed alive It is eve i thought that
they nro dead now. There nre 70
othorH still imprisoned in the middle
seam. Hopes nre entertained of sav
ing most of these. Volunteers work
ing for their rescue can hear them
culling for help. ( rii-s of “Come!*
"Help?” Como quickly I” have been
heard frequently.
Tho Udston pit is situated in the
most fiery of the coal district of Scot
land. As soon as the fact of the ex
plosion became known miners from
all neighboring colleries hurried to
the scene to help in tho work of res
cue.
Communication was opened this af
ternoon with tho middle seam. A
number of mini rs entombed therein
were, rescued olive, although much
prostrated from tho fire dump. Five
bodies were found in tho sonm. The
lowest seam has been reached, but
too late to rescue nny of the miners
who were nt work there. Not one of
the unfortunate men was found alive.
Tho total number of lives lost by the
explosion is believed to be 75.
Anderson Jourrai : The discussion
of bustles, bangs and blackguards is
a new departure iu modern evange
lism, but then many wonderful things
are being done these days in tho name
of religion. We may yet have pulpit
instructions ns to cutting a polonaise
bias or hemstitching the piece work
of crazy quilts.
