CAPT, J. Ii McCORD.

Capt. J. B. McCord, who died rather
suddenly at Atlanta, Ga. on the night
OF Sept 6. was born in Butts county,
Ga, and was about SO years of age al
the time Of his death. He entered the
Southern army in Texas, and fought all
during the war. Shortly after the war
he travelled in this country as drum
mer, and married Miss Mollie Cotfman,
OF this city, in 1866, and lived in Mem
phis and st Louis, for several years
afterwards, when he moved to Grenada,
where he and his estimable wife have
since resided,
Capt. McCord was acknowledged to be
the best grocery man in this section OF
the State, and always paid strict atten-
ton to his business. He was an excel
lent business man, an intelligent gen
tleman, kind and generous to his friends,
and well known for his likes and dislikes
which were both strong. He had been
a member OF the Presbyterian Church
for years, and always took a prominent
part in its affairs. As a husband, no
man ever lived who was more loving
and devoted than he to the wife Of his
choice and his personal kindness and
attention, was a matter Of general re-
mark wherever they went, This OF it
self speaks Volumes for the dead. His
bereayed and gentle SICK wife has the
sympathy OF this entire community in
the taking away Of all that was most dear
to her on earth.

We certainly have no desire to antag-
onize the purposes OF our free school
trustees, but if it be true that they do
not intend to begin the schools until the
new buildings mot brick of which has
yet been laid, or the contract given are
completed, they have forgotten that time
is as precious to youth as to mature age.
During the next three OR four months
the children that would attend the free
schools will not be wiser, but will be
more thoroughly demoralized. This fact
is too true to question. Therefore, let
us respectfully suggest that the trustees
elect their teachers, hire suitable house
and let the school 60 on, The Walters
house, with five or six large rooms, will
hold the entire multitude OF children,
and we believe it can be rented at once.
Timber up and 60 ahead, is our advice.
II you don't, you will hear q howl all
over town, and justly SO. We propose
to speak out plainly and to the point, on
this subject, next week, because we don't
believe in seeing the rights and interests
of poor children disregarded, because
they are poor. when the State and the
town .have made ample provisions for
their education.

MIR. GEO. LAKE.
First in the Field with Sample Of the
New Cotton Bag giDg.

On last Wednesday morning Mr.. Geo.
Lake, one OF our largest and most rela-
BILE merchants, received sample OF the
new cotton bagging being made by
the Lane and other cotton Mills Of
New Orleans. This new bagging was
examined by various cotton buyers and
farmers here, and pronounced success,
meeting all the requirements OF baling.
1t is strong, flexible and smooth, com
pared to the iute bagging. 1t is 40 inches
wide and weighs 13 ounces to the yard.
1t is believed that the tare will be taken
off of this new cotton bagging, and il so
it will make it as cheap ii not cheaper
than jute, and if the farmers want to
down the jute. bagging monopoly, they
ought to use the new cotton bagging
even il it does cost more. Mr.. Lake has
ordered a lot of this bagging from New
Orleans, and will sell it at absolute
cost, for which he deserves the thanks
of the farmers. We suppose Mr., LAX G
will have this new bagging on hand by
the time the SENTINEL is issued, where it
can be seen, and more fully explained

TO OUR BUSINESS MEN.

As has already been stated, the SEST1-
MEL is and will continue sending out
thousands OF free copies OF this paper (de-
voted in part to the interest of Grenada)
to the farmers in all the counties adjoin-
ing Grenada, as an advertisement to our
town, during the months of September
and October, and which will be read by
many thousands. As this entails rath-
er heavy expense on us, we hope our
merchants and business men will adver.
tise as literally as possible, thus showing
the farmers that they are wide-awake
and bidding for business. We expect to
devote more items to Grenada in the fu-
ture, and it is with the business men to
say how far our efforts are appreciated.
The farmers will read the advertisents as
well as the reading matter, and thereby
form correct estimate OF Grenada and
her progress.

Mr.. A. q. Hebron United in the Holy
Bonds OF MatrimOny.
An Elegant Reception rendered Him
and His Bride on Their Return.

Mr.. A. G. HEBRON, of this city, and
Miss MATTE PATTON. OF Junction City.
Mo-, were married at the latter place,
Wednesday, Sept y, 1888, by Rev. DR..
/. B. Lawson, Rector OF All Saints
Church here. The happy couple arrived
in this city Thursday night, and were
driven to All Saints parsonage, their fu-
ture home) where they were met by a
special deputation OF personal friends,
where an elegant entertainment awaited
them. The reception was heartily en-
joyed by the entire company present,
and the supper gotten up by Mrs. Mary
Powell and several OF our most elegant
ladies', was royal in style and rich in
viands. The bride and groom were the
center OF attraction, ana showed every
mark OF appreciation on this happy occa-
sion.
Mr.. Hebron has been resident of
Grenada for number OF years, and has
always proven true type of our best
young manhood. His character here is
known fer Candor, truth and generosity,
making him valued friend, a good citi-
zen and brave man. He is as far from
hypocrisy anu ueCell, as virtue Is from
vice. AS friend, he knows no bounds
in its relations, and would at any time
stake his personal safety in his defense
Such noble and unseliish men are very
rare. His bright, attractive and intelli-
gent bride spent several months here
last spring, and won the esteem and con-
tidence OF all who knew her, and at the
same time captured the hand and heart
of the knightly Hebron. She is distin-
guished for many noble and amiable
traits OF character, and our community
heartily welcomes her in our midst. The
bridal presents were many and valuable.
In the voyage OF life, may they both find
placid seas, gentle winds and genial suns.

The reasons why we can afford to sell

First We do our own work.
Second We have no rents to pay.
Third We buy and sell for cash.
Fourth We have the experience OF

what are the most serviceable and desir-
able goods for the trade.
Fifth We have just commenced bus
mess for ourselves, and propose to build
up reputation for selling good goods,
selling them cheap, and dealing fair with
every one, from the most learned to the
most ignorant-from the whitest to the
blackest-feeling assured that if this is
not the shortest and quickest road to sue

and if we fail in this way, we will with
draw and do something else. Give us
