HEADQUARTERS
FOR
Dry Goods, Notions and Novelties
822 Broad St., Augusta, Ga.
Since the fire of February 12th, which destroyed Masonic Temple,
want of room forced us to be content with currying a very limited
stock compared with what we arc now prepared to offer. Improve
ments and extensions just completed, make our present premises—two
floors, each 165 feet iong by 25 feet wide—the handsomest, most
commodious, best lighted and best suited in every way for the dis
play of goods, in Augusta ; and we challenge the South Atlantic States
to match4he stock for variety, completeness of assortment and care
fulness of selection. More time and attention are devoted to its pur
chase, than are spent on any similar stock in the South, and the result
will be apparent to all who inspect it carefully. On the shelves, and
in reserve, can be found at all times full lines of every class of Dry
Goods, Notions, etc., from low priced SUBSTANTIAL GOODS TO
THE FINEST FABRICS and choicest designs produced in this coun
try or imported from abroad ; and without quoting figures in detail,
WE GIVE A POSITIVE, UNQUALIFIED GUARANTEE ON PRICES AGAINST
EVERY HOUSE AND EVERY MARKET IN THE UNITED STATES. Wo lUCail
to give satisfaction to everybody who does business with us; and
whenever any article from our house does not come up to representa
tion, the purchaser will oblige us by notifying us promptly, and we
will make the matter satisfactory in every instance.
Samples scut by mail on application. In ordering samples, please
specify as exactly as possible the goods desired, and in ordering
goods, state whether something else may be substituted or not, in ceee
the particular article ordered is sold out.

ness.
—Night watchman, Mr. A. L.
Cooper has resigned and will move to

—Wood received in payment of

—A number of tbe farmers in this
county are posting their lands against
trespassers generally. ,
Quietude still resigns on law
range while friend Mat. gathers up
news items to interest visitors.
—The Town Marshall of Harlem,
found a dead dog on the street a few
mornings since and on examination
discovered there was not a cent in
the treasury to have the canine inter

—A few sympathizing subscribers
have come nobly to our relief. Let
others do likewise.
—Rev. J. W. Ellington has been
called to the pastorate of tbe Baptist
Church at Norwood.
—A part of the Sentinel gang in
company with one of Columbia’s
champion fisherman will visit Brier
creek the latter part of next week.
—There is a gentleman in the
neighborhood of Grovetown who is
thought by the oldest citizens in that
vicinity, to be over a hundred years
old
—Our invincible Mat asserts that
while at the Exposition he bad the
pleasure of speaking to Mrs. Cleveland,
and that she said she knew nothing of
the visit of a prominent Harlemite to
the White House some time last year
as reported. At his solicitation this
statement is made.
The marks of the pickpocket’s let
ter to his brother, show him to be
possessed with intelligence, and gen
erally speaking, of late days, shrewd
rogues are those who have had ad
vantage of an education. The boy
who has followed, by force of circum
stances, tlie plow all his life, is scarce
|ly ever found among such a class as
follow up places of immense gather
ings and engage iu stealing that
which others have worked hard to ob
tain. Stick to the farm young man;
you may not gain fame but you can
carry with you an unspotted charac
ter and always sleep with a clear cou
ncil nee.
Married.
At the residence of the bride's'
father, on yesterday afternoon at 3
o’clock, Dr. W. D. Wilkes and Miss
Sallie Banks were united in marriage
by the writer. The Sentinel tenders
congratulations to the happy couple
with the sincere wish that, their lives
may be one of perpetual sunshine
and unbounded prosperity.

Why Is II 1
Editors Sentinel:
There is some complaint that
there is no money iu the city treasury
to defray the necessary expenses of
our town. We are of the opinion
that if the ordinances were inforeed
there would be sufficient money gath
ered from fines to help out largely in
making tbe improvements that are
required. If a person now a days
gets drunk and us< s obscene language
on our streets he is never brought
before council. Now, such way ot do
ing business, in our judgment, is not
in aceord with good government.—
But the question arises, whose duty
is it to look af.er these trasgressors
of the law ? In towns wjiero we have
lived before it has been the duty of
the Town Marshal to look after viola
tors and bring them before council,
where they were required to fork over
something for the treasury. But it is
not so in Harlem, there are acts com
mitted on our streets frequently,
that were they committed in other
towns of our knowledge, the perpe
trators would have to pay for the
dancing. When a Marshal is sworn
into office, he takes an oath that he
will look after the peace and welfare
of the town and to see that the town
ordinances are carried out to a letter.
Is it fear or affection that causes this
leniency on the part of the Town
Marshal ’? Cenex.
PICKPOCKETS.
a rascal’s letter laid babe.
Atlanta special to Wednesday's
Gazette: John Cannon and Vance,
notorious pickpockets, who were of
the bunch arrested last week ai.d re
leased yesterday, were re-arrested to
day on telegrams from Nashville,
which announces the theft of sixteen
watches. Officers spotte 1 these men
and have them in the Jock-up in the
belief they stole the watches. Can
non, alias Sid McManning, was ar
rested as ho v.as mailing the follow
ing letter:
Atlanta, Oct. 25, 1887.
Dear Brother: You have seen by
this time, in the Cincinnati Enquirer,
of my trouble in Atlanta. I was turn
ed out last night, and will leave here
Friday for Texas. Vance, Fresh,
Baker, Tom and Horton were pinch
ed with me. Held uh eight days. I
would have gvine to Macon, but they
tallied on us there and sent over pho
tos. I have a ticket to Fort Worth
ami a dollar left, and I consider my
self lucky to Lave that. If you have
anything particular to communicate
to me you can tally to Louis Wright,
general delivery, post office Dallas,
Texas. Love to all. Yours, etc.,
“Sid.”
Vance was also in the act of mail
ing a letter, but succeeded in tearing
it up. A gold watch was found on
Cannon, which answered tbe descrip
tion of one of the Nashville watches.
Index Fat Wife.
Why is the letter P like uncles fat

produces coughs and colds. Taylor’s
Cherokee Remedy of Sweet Gum and
Mullein will cure her.
He Found He Couldn't.
Brunswick Breeze: Last Saturday
morning, among tbe passengers, on
one of the south-bound East Tenues
see trains that stopped at East Roma
to take breakfast, were a Bostonian
his wife and children, and a colored
nurse. The Boston man led bis pro
cession into the dining room of Lang
ford’s restaurant and undertook to
seat them al), the nurse included, nt
the table. Mr. Langford’s attention
was immediately called to the matter,
and he went at once to the man and
informed him that he could not allow
no such proceedings at bis house.—
The Bostonian became indignant,
whereupon Langford ordered him

out. The affair created quite a little
excitement iu East Rome at the time,
and was the talk of all.

STORY OF A POCKET BOOK.
Gainesville special to the Augusta
Chronicle: Thursday night, as the
train from this place reached Bell
mont Junction, en route for Jefferson,
Dr S. S. Yearwood, of I’endigras, lost
his pocket book, and maimed that his
pockets had been picked. There were
three strangers, that is, peo
ple the doctor did not know, on the
train, one of whom was the conduc
tor, John Singleton, who was running
; in place of conductor Clarke. It was
proposed that the whole crowd of
men on the train bo searched. This
, was unanimously accepted, and every
one entered tbe baggage car and sub
mitted to a thorough personal exami
nation, but neither the pocketbook
nor money was found. Conductor
Singleton told Yearwood that he was
, on the platform of the car at Candler
station with his pocket book out, and.
must have dropped it there. Year
-1 wood did not believe it, but finally
, agreed to go back and look for it. He
1 returned on the tiptrain, took a light
, and found the missing property all
Intact, where he had dropped it. The
ioss created quite a commotion
• among the passengers until the props
i : erty was found.
