The issue promotes Sentinel club rates and a subscription drive urging readers to recruit neighbors for yearlong copies. It advertises Guizot’s History of the French and a bundled offer including the paper and the history set, with price tiers and a deadline in March 1886.
Mr Wo Stewart of Lewisville Forsyth county asks The Sentinel to publish a search for any surviving officers or privates who served in Co G under Captain P M Henry during the Mexican War 1846 to 1848. He hopes old comrades respond and asks state exchanges to publish.
The Sentiver praises the Knights of Labor as a nationwide skilled-labor organization formed to counter capital. It argues labor can enforce wages while criticizing capitalists for greed, cites New York clashes where labor prevailed, and notes a Shelby Aurora editorial warning about the dangers of journalism and the spread of newspapers to small communities.
The New York World cartoon on an Elevated Railroad mocks “Modern Metropolitan Chivalry” as gentlemen sit while ladies stand. It contrasts Northern behavior with Southern courtesy and mocks Republican calls for Jeffersonian simplicity amid capital society’s style and extravagance.
The piece lists November races including nine Congress members, three Supreme Court judges, six Superior Court judges, twelve district solicitors, and fifty state senators with one hundred twenty state House members. All county officers are slated for election across the state.
A compilation of quips and witticisms from various papers. Jests touch on March as a windier month, a New York girl backing a Socialist, a misfit hat store, an oversized family with few chairs, and cider politics. The snippets span jokes about editors, bald-headed prophecies, eyebrows, eggs beating the world, and a Paris circus pivoting to political comedy.
