Guilty to pass through the mob. Thes,

strangers, but even to our own citizen,
who meet the incoming trains. twa,

nance was passed, and whilo II may
work hardship on the boys, It will bt

A cold storage warehouse would
have been great boon to our farmer,
this winter. And would be as great {
benefit and advantage in winters to
come. In one iter alone the use O.
such warehouse would have saved
thousands of dollars to our count,
and to the general wealth of the com
munity. The winter has been SO mild
that 1t has been almost impossible fol
our people to save their meat, and vel
we have heard many persons declare
that never before was there such 4
quantity of meat to be saved for home
consumption. Indeed It has been said
repeatedly that ii Grenada county
could save her own meat, she would be
self-sustaining almost entirely during
the coming year. The corn crop was
a bountiful one, and the granarie,
were overfowing with richness and
plenty at the beginning of the season
Yet worlds of corn has been fed to The
hogs, and hundreds of dollars have
gone to sustain stock, ready month,
ago for slaughter. Ii we had enjoyed
the wise economy of cold storage
warehouse, all the meat could have
been saved Aside from the loss o.
meat, where warm weather followed
the killing-the saving in dollars and
cents in corn alone, would have maid
one hundred per cent. on the cost of the
warehouse.-would have reimbursed
the builders and stockholders. Let our
farmers think of this inestimable adj
vantage for the future aud let them
subscribe to stock, heartily cooperate
and make the cold storage, leo factor,
and creamery success.--G Grenads
Sentinel.
