MISS, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1896
Mr.. W. p. Ferguson Has His Opinion
on the Cotton Question.

.Dear Sentinel;;-As you have kindly
offered space in your paper, for discus.
sion OF the cotton subject, can speak
Though not being interested, either in
buying or selling) without prejudice
or partially. What is being said Or
rather what has been said about Gre
NADIA not paying as much for cotton as
our nelghbor towns. is more inagina-
tion think, than anything else. Gre
NADIA has two separate and distinct cot
ton firms; both with headquarters here.
Why should they send men to other
towns to pay more for cotton than they
do herer Some say for the want Of
competition. claim Grenada has COM
petition. If she has no competition,
why 40 not some of our merchants.
who have been complaining, buy. if
competition is what we need to bring
cotton to Grenada? Some seem to
think because Grenada has fallen shor,
OF the cotton she once received is on
account OF the present buying and
weighing system. Where is there an
enterprising town that still continues
the old method Of weighing cotton on
the streets and having them block
AIDED, at times almost impossible for
vehicles to pass? When you speak of
Grenada not getting the cotton she did
a few years ago, I will give you my
common reason.
In the first place Grenada and adioin-
ing counties do not raise as much cot
ton as they did a few years ago land
hope they never willy. In the second
place, Eupora, Carrollton, Greenwood,
Parsons, etc. had no railroads nor cot
ton buyers: now they have both. I
claim no business man when he can
sell for about the same. in five or six
miles Of home will haul his cotton,
when the roads are bad (which is u.s.
ually the case when people are putting
their cotton on the marketi fifteen or
twenty miles further, even for II quar-
ter or half u cent more.
1t seems to ne the proper thing for
Grenada to do is to try and increase
her population. for she can never get
the same amount Of cotton she once
boasted OF. Give US more congresses,
oil mills and other factories and thus
make our town more self sustaining.
Grenada is the best town in the State
for its size and, | defy contradiction.
Take our business men in every line,
our business houses, stocks of goods,
ETC., and no towr of her size can sur
pass them. My friend, Buchanan, has
one OF the best newspaper offices in the
State. Gerard L. Mason, when it comes
to the Racket Store are ''ur to date
hut il the above parties don't quit talk
ing like our town is going backward
instead Of forward, some may think
they do nos deserve what l have just
said about them. People, bring your
cotton on to Grenada. Our cotton buy
ers will give you as much as any other
town and am sure our merchants will
give you as much or more for your
money as any town in the State.
W. P. FERGUSON.

THE FIRE FIEND
Again Visits Grenada, Leaving a Trail Of
Ashes.

Our citizens who enjoy sleeping late
on Sunday mornings had their slum.
bers rudely disturbed last Sunday
morning about 5 O'Clock by the clang.
ing OF bells and the startling cries Of
Fire. The dense smoke rolling up
wards in the neighborhood of the pub
lie square caused many to fear that
our city was again doomed; but hope
sprung up afresh when the fire was
located on Green street and it was seen
that scarcely IA breath of wind was STIR
ring to sweep the flames in any direc-
tion. In an incredibly short space of
time from the moment the alarm was
sounded the two brick stores on the
corner of the alley were blazing fierce
~. The fire originated in the store oc-
cupied by L. Vittitoe with stock Of
groceries. IN the back room OF the
store was piled promiscuously stock
OF goods belonging to Jones & Leigh.
In this room was also quantity OF hay,
and it is supposed that the fire received
Its start among that In some unaccount-
able way. However and wherever it
started, it was impossible to save the
buildings that burned, so all efforts
were directed toward the moving OF
E. J. Weyneth's stock and the saving
OF that building. At one time it was
feared the fire would cross the street
and get a start on the other side, but
fortunately the wind remained calm,
and while the opposite buildings smok-
ed no further damage was done 70
them than to get good scorching.
The fire burned itself out in time.
and some idea of the extent of the
losses could then be estimated. The
two stores belonged to Dr.. W. F.
Barksdale, were worth about $4,000,
and were a total loss; no insurance.
The corner store Messrs. kimbrough
g. Perry used for warehouse. and
had stored Il quantity OF -four, salt and
other provisions A portion Of these
goods we're destroyed, and their loss is
about $3.50: no insurance. Mr.. WITH
toes stock, worth about $400, and tho
goods in the same store belonging to
Messrs. Jones & Leigh. valued at
about $500, were totally destroyed; no
insurance. The barber shop suffered
some slight damage to furniture in
moving out. Mr.. E. J. Neyneth esti-
mates his loss in breakage and moving
goods at 5000: insured The other
slight losses will bring the total to
about S., 600.
