__________
An interesting communication from Mrs. R.R. Snowden, of Lincoln
township, endorsing the home coming festival idea, which was set up in
type, was destroyed by the fire, which wrecked the Sentinel newspaper
office Tuesday. Some country correspondence and local items were also
lost in the shuffle.
A WORD OF EXPLANATION
The Sentinel reaches its subscribers a day late this issue and with a
limited amount of local reading matter. The new columns of the paper
furnish sufficient explanation and apology for the delay and abbreviated
news service. Thanks to the courtesy of the publisher of the
Globe-Post, who furnished us a place to do our work until a room could
be secured, and the Chicago Newspaper Union of Sioux City, which did the
press work on this issue, the Sentinel comes out about on time. By next
Tuesday we hope to be able to get out a paper with the usual amount of
local and county news, but it will have to be delivered to our readers a
few hours later than heretofore, until arrangements can be made to print
it at home.
Many expressions of sympathy from friends of the Sentinel in this
community and offers of assistance from publishers in neighboring cities
have reached us, for which we wish to extend our thanks. The work of
restoring the office to its normal condition will have to be delayed
until the insurance companies have adjusted the loss. In the meantime
we ask the forbearance of our readers until we can get into a new home
with a new equipment, after which we think you will find the paper
enough improved to repay you for this brief interval of short news
service and delays.
