BARGAIN DAYS.

Our good friend, William Ward. OF
the Siarkviile Times, has this 10 say oil
the SENTINEL's proposed bargain day
scheme;
"Grenada is talking about setting
aside one day Of each month for a bars
eain'day, aud on that day each mer-
chant is to offer some exceptional hne
bargains in whatever line he may
choose. The merchants propose 10
make bargains which will attract peo-
pie from beyond Grenada's usual radius
Of trade and give prizes to the pur-
chaser who comes to town the longest
distance. This is IA good scheme for
any town, and as some of our mer-
chants have already been successful
with a bargain day, would it not do to
continue the same with improved
methodist
We would like to see this idea taken
up In Grenada and given a trial. The
idea is TO bring more people to Grepa-
da to buy more goods and spend more
money. Bargains will bring them. 1t
will pay TO sell certain lines below cost
ic order TO draw the trade. AS honey
will draws flies just as surely will bar
gains draw the people with money to
spend. On a certain day let Ginsbur-
ger sell meat at less than cost for cash,
let Kimbrough a. Perry sell sugar lob
for "a dollar, let Leigh Hardware Co,
sell crockery Az cost, Semmes sell toilet
articles aud patent medicines at prices
that will sell, and so IN down the line,
each merchant choosing a line and Of
feriug it cheap, thus distributing the
burden Of bargain giving. This day
and the good things thereof being
widely advertised will bring people
here to trade who never came here 10
spend their money before. Hold these
bargain days once a month. A trial or
two will deter mine their value and ii
they are not a drawing cord they car
easily be abandoned. Nothing a be
accomplish he'd without a trial and many
failures oft times prccede final success
The SENTINEL is for a bargain day and
will help to get the movement started

Age and Marriage.

A womans prospect of marriage Is
distinctly affected by age. The stats
tics Of all countries show that the great
majority of women marry between the
ages Of 20 and 80. Before reaching u
q woman has, of course, a chance of
matrimOny. but the objections raised
by parents or friends to marriage at q
tender age frequently outweigh the de
sire of the young woman to acquire a
wedding day.
All the statistics that have been
gathered bear out the statement thai
a woman's best chance to marry Is al
the age OF %, that over slx-tenths OF
the marriages take place between 2,
and 30, and consequently that wo
mans chance increases up to 25, and
steadily decreases after that age unit
1t reaches the vanishing point some
where about 60.
Out of 1000 married women IA.

the mothers failure to be keen enough
to zee where she may touch a childs
life and where she may not: where it Is
for her to guide, to help. to encourage.
and where the child-life Is sacred to

individual never occurs to some moth

ada, and the facilities Of travel between
Mexico and Tie United States are
equally good, but by the last census
there were 100000 Canadians In the
United States and only 1900 Mexicans

some explanation.
1t has generally been supposed that a
majority Of the Canadians In the Uni

northern counties Of New York or the
manufacturing districts Of New Eng

cent years q very large immigration Of
French Canadians, but it Is a fact that

there were 1S1. 600 Canadians in Michi-

The most frequent explanation given
for the scarcity Of Mexican residents in
the United States Is found in the differ
ences of climate. But this explanation
Is not the true one, as Is shown by the
figures in Mississippi, State whose
climate more nearly, perhaps, than any
other, with the exception Of Texas. re-
sembles that Of Mexico: there were
only thirty-one Mexicans in Mississippi

twenty-seven, while In the North At

explanation of the lack Of Mexican emf
grafton to this country is given In tho
unfamiliarity Of its people with the

not well supported.
