The sale of the Maplecroft Mill at Liberty, which was scheduled to take place at Pickens Monday, was postpon ed by order of the court until April 24. We have it straight that the play to be at the school house Friday night will be the funniest and most mirth provok ing entertainment ever staged in Pick ens. The article on another page of this paper headed "Pickens Boy First to Fall," is not exactly correct and slipped into the paper by mistake. A correct account of the affair appeared in last week's paper. Married, Sunday the 12th instant, at the residence of Mrs. A. G. Wyatt in Easley, Miss Mary Phillips, of Glen wood mill village, and Mr. ; Andrew Sumter, of Toccoa, Ga. R. G. Wyatt, N. P., officiated. The family of Maj. G. M. Lynch wish to publicly express their heartfelt thanks to the friends who were so kind and good to them and the departed husband and father during his recent sickness which resulted in his death.

He is truly grateful. Announcement has been made of the approaching marriage of Miss Nettie Ellison, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Co lumbus Ellison, to Dr. Lake Jamison. son of Mr. and Mrs. John B.

Gantt invites The Sentinel readers to trade with him, Hie represents one of the best known tailor ing establishments and would be glad to take your measure for a new sprin~g and summer suit. See his ad in this paper. H. J. Lewis, one of the good citizens ofe unset, was in town on business M~dilday and paid us a pleasant visit. Mr. Lewis has been a subscriber to The Sentinel since tde first issue and we hope he may be permitted to reniain with us a long time yet. He has been in bad health for several months, but we are pleased to state that he is im proving now. it will be interesting news to many in Pickens to learn that Prof. W. E. Den dy, formerly priinci pal of the school here, has accepted the position as reg istrar and asstant to the president of Oglethorpe University. of Atlanta. It is the university now being built by Southern Presbyterians and when f in ished will be the largest school of its kind ini the South. Oglethorpe will be gin its first session next fall.

The corn munity was shocked Satur thif when it became known that Emette, the two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. lien Holder of Pickens, had been choked to death by arain of rice which lodged in his winpe while he was eating dinner. Telittle fellow had been suf fering from whooping cough, and just as he was puttmng some rice in his mouth was seized with a coughing spell which caused him to suck some of the rice into his windpipe and death resulted soon after. A doctor was summoned aind everything possible was done, but the rice -'could not be removed. The little body was laid to rest Sunday in Secona cemetery after funeral services sonducted by Rev. B. E.
