A CHANGE NEEDED IN OUR COTTON
BUYING AND WEIGHING.
So Says one of our Leading Mercantile
Firms.

Editor Sentinel: I'm time Of peace
let us prepare for war; So, this
summer, or, rather, as soon as possible,
we would suggest to the merchants OF
our town to get together and let US
take steps to regain not only our lost
trade, but to 60 even to the doors of
our sister towns, for new trade, which
we can easily do. It is, believe, a
conceded fact, that Grenada is the
best town in North Mississippi; that
We carry the largest variety of goods,
and have the lowest prices, without a
doubt. Yet, we cannot deny that much
Of our trade has left US. No, not left US,
but driren auay, simply on account Of
our cotton system. Now, let US say
that we do not blame our two cotton
companies. and would not claim once
that they are not doing what we
would do ourselves, for they are in
the business for the money. But can
we blame the farmers for carrying
their cotton to other markets, where
there is competition and they get a
better price? Yet most OF them wonld
much rather come here. Neither do
our cotton buyers care if they 60 to
other towns, (so we understand), for
they get the cotton all the same.
But wa must blame ourselves, if we
sit by and hold our hands. We once
enjoyed large cotton receipts and
II big trade. We can do it again.
But how are we to get them back,
you ask? Let US invite some new
cotton buyers, and let US pledge our
selves with the assistance Of the
farmers) to stick to them.
We understand the present system
of weighing and hauling to the CON-
press does not suit the planters, so
let US change this plan. Some of
you vii! say, if we give the farmers
what they ask they will want every.
thing, hut we beg to differ, for we
have found them always liberal. We
observe that other towns generally
give what they ask. and we are con-
tident that our town will give as
much As others, if not more. But un-
less we effect u change from the
present I fear we will be compelled
10 take a back seat. We must make
Il change. Merchants and farmers
what say you? Yours truly,
GERARD Il Mason.

blue eyes and dark brown hair, cut short.
She has Il pretty complexion, such as young
healthfuI country girls generally possess.
Tired of the hundrum life at her country

blaze and glory of New York, as 1t ap-
peared to her from the stories she had
read of this great city Miss Dickey, who is
twenty y-seven years old, left her home last
Friday on trip of adventure, attired in
a suit belonging TO her brother, wearing a
Fedora hat and tan shoes.
On her arrival here she was afraid to go
to hotel or lodging-house, fearing de-
lection OF her disguise, and at night she
slept in covered trucks which stood in the
street, and in da Y time she walked over the
city seeing the sights she had so long
dreamed Of Her money gave out on Mon
day, and that night she slept in the street In
a covered truck, but when she awoke the
next morning she was nearly frozen. Sick
from hunger and exposure her courage for
sock her and she applied to policeman,
who directed her to Bellyue. where she. sur
prised the eattendants by announcin gthat she
was girl. Her father, Charles Fl. Dickey,
of Stanton, Del, was telegraphed for and
the doctors thought she would be able to
leave for home in few days. She spent

opened by Mr.. w. Redin Woodward, who
explained the purpose for which they were
called. Aside from the interesting and in
structive talk OF Staff OFFICER Marshall, the
feature of the afternoon service was the

the result of the days work.
A collection was asked for, to which there
was very generous response.
The attendance n the evening meeting
was nearly twice as great al in the after

represent. iI
Another pleasing part OF the program
