There are fifty-three Saturdays and consequently fifty-three paydays in this good year 1916. And it won't happen again within eighty-four years. The last time there were that number of Saturdays and Sundays was in 1876--Centennial year. Some of our old .subscribers have evi dently been telling their neighbors about The Sentinel with good results, for during the past three weeks we have added mnore than forty new* names to our subscription list.

Tearmor plate trust threatens to taise the price of that material if the government dlares to establish a factory of its own. Our Uncle Bien Tillman, chairman of. tho naval affairs commit tee, says if the plate barons monkey with Uncle Sam he will take their plants away from them, which can easily be done by righst of eminent domain in case of war. The price of everything that is used in a printing office has been advancing for some time and continues to advance. Last week we received notices from our paper house of an advance of another 10 per cent, on all white paper and the price of colored paper is still more, Owing to the advance large papei houses all over the country have with. drawn quotations and the end is not ir sight.y The Sentinel Is still taking sub -scejiptions at one dollar a year, but -wi nrd~ bd forced to raise the price at ana time.'

Pumpkintown Notes We Pumpkins suppose it is our turr tobe. a wonder now. "A Farmer' is dus because we got a little slice ' news once. But we hadn't th*e leaq idea that the news he men tions w'as anybody's private property. Furthermgje, we're at sea about that ,Sdepredatidi" which he says was com . titted, here. The only conclusion we n arrive at is that he refers to an in dcldent ,,hich happened in Oolenoy see Joni f -that Is the case, and he wants us to t'll 'about.that, we can't use that ind of language. He requests that we tell the news of. our own town; but Ooledow isn't any more our town than is Pleasant Grove. However, to make amends so far as possible for the dam age done him whep we trespassed on his news territory, we leave it to him hini to write an article setting forth the "depredation" that he insists was com rhitted in all its vivid coloring and with a little red button on top. An old tin can and a piece of broken tile which they had picked up by the roadside served as a heater for Albert Masters and Green MeJunkins as they came home from Pickens last Thursday night. The pan was set on the floor of the wagon body and the piece of tile set on end in the pan and a fire made under it, The blaze burned out above the top of the novel heater, and thus they had light as well as warmth. Now, while Oolenoy is boasting about her splendid mail facilities, would be a good time for us to mention Pleasant Grove's excellent fe-male beauty. But here we are, grabbing "A Farmer's" news again.
