The SENTINEL yields to none in its
interest in and devotion to Grenada.
1t never has been and never will be
found wanting when it can in any man
ner promote the interests OF the city in
which 1t Is published. 1t advocated the
forming Of body through which to act
for thecity's good, knowing that in that
way alone could progress be made.
This body is now formed and everyone
will be disappointed If it does not put
new lie and vigor into our people. In
this connection we wish to sound q
word Of warning. Be not discouraged
at small beginnings. and do not scoff at
the efforts Of the League. Be prompt
and regular in attending the meetings.;
be careful not to enter In controversies
and beware Of raising snimosities. II
anything 10 accomplished It mus. be by
a steady pull with all hands grasptug
the roap. The, Committee on Roads
has wide field Ia which to labor. The
Promoting Committee is composed ol
men Of sound ideas and practical com!
mou sense. Ito duty will be to consider
projects possible for Grenada, discusa
them in all their bearings, and TO re-
port to The League their feasibility.
Think what such body Of men may
accomplish! The committees are ALL
important, and those who have received
recognition by being.:uumbered upon

All these questions can be answered

whether the price Of cotton goes up Q
goes down we will have somethin
else to depend upon. Then the pric

; will come general stiffening Of ou
commercial backbone. Then We shoul
; encourage emigration and fill up tn
vacant farm lands. for after all tn
farm is the source of the greatest an
i, surest prosperity. We must either d
these things or keep on going bacI

streets now are. It IL one thing or tn
