.4' .... .. . . ... 46 Years Old n HE Pickens Sentine' was forty-six years old last J week and is growin ',lder and better every day. The Sentinel WPS ished soon after Pickens county, has grown up wit. it and no small part of the county's progress and advancement has been due to its county paper whieh has always been ready to do its part in any. good work. It is ready today to do spything it can for the good of the county and : its people. The Sentinel has seen many changes take place in ' this good old county of Pickens and it will doubtless see many more. The Sentinel is not only the oldest paper in Pick ens county, but is one of the oldest in the state, and it looks like it will be here when Gabriel blows his horn. Like all other good weekly papers of any age The Sentinel has had many struggles and has overcome many obstacles. With the.loyal support of the peo ple it has weathered all storms so far and is now i more firmly established than ever before. We will say here that we appreciate, more than we can tell, the good support given The Sentinel since it has been X under the present management, and we earnestly ask for a continued and greater support in the future so that we may continue to improve the paper until35 the people of Pickens count have the best weekly . paper in the state. The Sentinel deserves the sup- X - port of every good citizen in this county, and we can say with satisfaction that we give all of our custom er s more than their money's worth. Under the present management The Sentinel never T has, and never will, appeal to the people for support - on the ground that you should support it simply be cause it is your home paper. The Sen inel wants your support because it is your home paper and - worth the price we ask for it-and n re. Don't subscribe for The Sentinel for charity :ke. Sub scribe for it because it's worth the price. The price of this paper is cheaper now than ever before. One year ago one bushel of corn or ten pounds of cotton wou pay for The Sentinel a year: * now three-fourths of a bushel of corn or eight pounds of cotton will pay for it a year. If the price of The Sentinel had advanced in proportion to all other things it would be $2.00 or $2.50 a year now instead of $1.50. The Sentinel pays no big dividends, but puts its earnings back into the'paper for the benefit of its smbscribers. The Pickens Sentinel is the only paper published at the county seat of Pickens county. It is the oldest paper in the county. S Official paper of the county. Largest paper in the county. .Prints more news than any other paper in the 'county. ' Has a larger circulation than any other paper in the county. The Sentinel prints all the most important general, 'war and state news, and makes a specialty of Pick ens county news. It is the people's paper. . Every good citizen of Pickens county ought to *subscribe for The Sentin~el. The more subscribers . we have the better-paper we can give you and the .more benefit we can be to the county. .:Get your neighbor to subscribe. : You help us and we will help you. *. Subscription price is $1.50 for a year, $1.00 for .~ eight months, 50 cents for four months. THE PICKENS SENTINEL PICKENS, S. C.

Not a Woman Of Finance By WIULiAM CHANDLER lm not a new woman's man. I be live In the woman of the past, the dear, innocent creature who depended on man for everything. I'm married to a woman who will never trouble mo by telling me how I should manage my business. Adele knows no more of business than a kitten knows about un tangling a ball of yarn. One evening soon after Adele and I were engaged I went to see her and found her in a very happy mood. She told tile that her father, in order to prepare her for certain responsibilities that she might encounter as a wife, had put $500 in the bank to her credit for her troussentI anda had given her a pass book and at cheek book. Her fa ther showed her hov to enter her de. posits and bring down her balances in her ceIck book. Ohccasioinally she was to hand in her pass book, have it bal anced andu see that thie halance brought dowit li it wits tilt saine its tle halance in her check book. A month later, when I went to see Adele, I found her in tears. "What's the tuniter, dearest'" I ask ed, drawing her to ile and kissiig away the tears. "I'm lin a w ful frou ble.". "Tell mlie. 'erhiais I can help you." "Why, you k'ow papa put the money for my troussean i inl the hank and gave mne a cheek hook.
