Winston's Oldest Citizens.
Judge T- J. Wilson, we are informed, is
the oldest citizen now living in Winston
There are six other citizens who follow the
Judge in the following order : Messrs. J.
C. Miller, H. A. Holder, J. S. White,
Christian Reid, P. A. Wilson, Sr., and Ed.
Spach. These gentlemen have been resi
dents of Winston ever since its birth, and
can relate incidents of interest since our pro
gressive town's advent. Mr. Miller says
that he assisted in digging up a large oak
tree on the site where the court-house now
stands after the foundation for the build
ing had been built. IT also claims to be
the first man to plant elm trees in the town.

Pursuant to notice, a large number of
citizens met at the Court-House last Thurs

thing in the matter of holding Winston's
proposed Tobacco Fair this fall. A number
of our tobacco men were present and on mo
tion of Mr. II. Montague, Mr. C. Ilamlen
was made chairman, who, together with
Maj. P. F. Duffy and Mr. E. A. Ebert, spoke
warmly in favor of the fair. A committee
of "live was then appointed to consult our
tobacco men and also to ask the chamber of
Commerce to consider the matter at their
next meeting- The meeting adjourned to
meet in the Court House to-morrow n;ght,
(Friday) at which time The Sentinel
hopes to see. matters take a definite shape.
So far as we can learn there is not a single
citizen opposed to the fai.1 but the main
question arises, "will we all lend the move
ment a helping hand ?" Let every citizen
roll up his sleeves and work for the tobacco
fair vigorously. It will pay the Twin-City
in handsome" and permanent returns.
If we want the fair, then let us uerk for
it!

A Negr j Woman Shot Dead.
Between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock
Monday morning a pistol shot was heard
in the upstairs of the first tenement house
on Fourth Street, 'beyond the railroad
crossing. The alarm was soon spread, and
hundreds of people visited the spot, where
It t 1 TT" .
anesrro woman was tounu, namea ivaie
Causby, lying cold in death. The deed was
committed by a negro man named William
Houston.
A Sentinel reporter visited the spot
where the dead woman was lying, and gath
ered the following particulars :
Houston and Kate were playing cards,
and on account of the latter refusing to give
up the money whioh the former had won,
Houston grew angry and threatened Kate's
life. Kate began cursing him, whereupon
Houston drew out his pistol and shot her,
the ball taking effect in the left breast, pas
sing through her fcreast and ranging down
ward. The wounded woman fell suddenly
upon the floor and only drew a few short
breaths before she expired.
Houston, immediately after firing the
fatal shot, hurried down stairs and enquired
of the occupants of the lower story, "Who
was it that shot up stairs?" He then made
tracks, but was captured by officers Meroney
and Stewart near the railroad grading west
of Liberty Street. He is now in jail. It is
learned here that he came to Winston last
year from the penitentiary at Raleigh,
where he had served a. three year's term for
shooting a man in Rockingham county.
Houston is 23 years of age, - with black
complexion, while the deceased was 28,
years of age, of like complexion. She was
married, but on account of her leading a
wild and dissipated life, her husband had
forsaken her- - "

The Democratic convention of Davie
County was held in Mocksville last Satur
day. Seven delegates and seven alternates
were elected to attend the State convention
on the 30th. They go uninstructed. The
county is for Hon." D. G. Fowle for Govern
or, by a large majority.
The convention also appointed delegates
to the Congressional District Convention at
Salisbury, and instructed the delegates to go
for the renomination of Hon. John S. Hen
derson. Also passed resolutions endorsing
his course in Congress. The convention
was harmonious, and all were in fine spirits.
If we mistake not, the signs are that the
county will go Democratic this fall. A few
more such communications as appeared in
the Union Republican will do the work.

Moravian Falls.
The Wilkesboro Breeze tells us that more
than a hundred years ago a colony of Mora
vians came up from Salem and settled near
Wilkesboro, taking up land from the mouth
of Cub Creek to Holeman's Ford and up
Moravian Creek for several miles. They
soon became dissatisfied with this garden
spot of the world and returned to Salem.
But they left their name to the Creek which
ran through their land. In this creek near
the ridge road to Lenoir is a remarkable
Falls. In the course of a half a mile there
is a fall of probably 150 ft., the main thol
of moie than sixty feet is nearly perpendic
ular, with a narrow bench two-thirds of the
way down. On this bench stands the mill
of T. C. Hix. Formerly there was a flax
seed oil mill attached, but, as the people,
in a great measure quit raising flax, the
mill was suffered to fall to decay. At the
top of the main fall there is a carding ma
chine which is a great convenience to the
people of the surrounding country. It seems
to us that these Falls and the beautiful sur
roundings have been sadly neglected. They
are beyond mistake the grandest falls in that
part of the State. .

tneamntr ot
merit will always win, that right
will conquer wrong, that the Cash
System, close attention to busines
and economy is bound to force to
the wall the infernal credit system,
with its twin brother, high prices.
Our low prices have cause) a wail
ot distress from some of our com
petitors. We have seen some arti
cles drop 2K cents on the dollar
when it was declared that they were
being sold as low a-, could be afford
ed before. In many things we have
forced the price down from 5 to 25
per cent. Please give us credit tor
what we desc'.vc, nothing more.
Understand us that we do not claim
to be smarter or better merchants
than many others, but we do claim
that we can afford to sell goods
from 5 to 25 per cent cheaper than
firms who buy and sell on time.
The firm that buys and sells, on time
besides having to pay more for
their :oods, and losing the uis
counts, always loses more or less by
bad debts, and besides an honest
profit they have to put on an extra
profit to cover their losses from that
source, and you and every honest
paying person has to pay it. Not so
at the lire Hive. Here you buy
everything at a close, quick profit,
and do not have to pay what we
lose by dishonest people's rascality.
