EDITOR SENTINEL:
During the building OF the new Court
House, it was urged by large majority
of the citizens OF Grenada, that town
clock be added SO as to more equally
regulate the affairs OF the town, pertain,
ing thereto. Many of the citizens were
willing to contribute literally towards
that end. 1t was at last suggested that
the Board of Aldermen make an appro-
priation of two hundred dollars. Such
inducements as the above were held out
individually to the Board Of Supervisors
that If they the Board of Supervisors
would pay the balance. Upon meeting
of the Supervisors they ordered the clock
purchased, presuu-ing the town would
pay two hundred dollars, hardly one
fourth of the actual expenses incident
thereto. The following is the ordinance
passed by the Hou. boar,i ut Mayor and
Aldermen with string tied to it. ut
was then ordered by the Board that an
appropriation of 5000 be allowed to Sc
cure the putting up of town clock in
connection with the new court house
now building, should said amount be
Judged necessary to effect the same.,' AT
the next meeting Of the Board Of super
visors, they passed an order that the
Clerk of said Board should call on said
city fathers for the two hundred dollars
They refused to pay it, making various
excuses, many of the most prominent
ones that the county had already order
ed the clock and they must pay Tor 1t
and there was no necessity of the towr
paying out any money. This looks like
a,slur and disgrace. No one but the cit
izens of the town derive any benefit
Our merchants, mechanics, schools
churches and "family worship" al
would be regulated by said CLOCK, bu
you people living in the country pay To-
it and we will enjoy the blessings II
was left with us, we say tothe Board Q
Supervisors, sell the clock if you get bu

wants something OF the kind, let then
pay for 1t themselves; r

The mass-meeting at the Court House
on Saturday last, the proceedings of
which will be found in another column,
was one Of the largest and most earnest
that we have had for long time. Com
posed as it was of quite number Of the
leading citizens, and divided as they
were in their choice between Barry and
Mitchell, the discussion on the unit rule
waxed warm and interesting. Several
gentlemen made speeches characterized
by energy, ardor and mental force, for
and against the unit rules which was
finally adopted, giving Mr.. Mitchell the
undivided support of this county.

On next Tuesday the Congressional
Convention Of which everybody is ap-
priced meets here. That the representa-
tives and their friends will be received
with that courtesy and open hospitality
for which our town is famous we have
not doubt. Not only that but other
marks OF respect will be rendered in ex-
terror decorations and symbols Of well
come, that the distinguished body may
feel that they are in the midst of people
who knows how to utilize the amenities
OF social and political life. Its expected
that our new Court House will be sufli-
GENTLY in order to admit Of the represen-
tatives Of the Democratic party of the
pnsurcr, and thus christerrrus pubi1ossssr
in the interest of good government.
While it will be the privilege Of any to
attend, the ladies whose presence ever
exercises in these Southern lands mol
lifying and refining influence, will be out
in force. Their pretty faces, gentle man
ners and winning graces will throw a
charm over the assembly that will keep
down choleric feelings and violent dis
cussions and the end will be nominal
ton that will give strength to our man
hood, and thereby assurance Of protec.
ton to the fair OF the Fourth Congress
sional District.
