Blood On The Moon.

For the first time within the
memory Of the Oldest inhabitants the
saloons of Vicksburg were closed yes
terday tight and fast, in accordance
with the orders of Judge Anderson.
1t is a remarkable coincidence that
two Hill City newspaper men, Messrs.
st. John, Of the American, and Wal
thall, of the Herald, spent the day in
Observation-Disclosures Clarion-Ledger.
Pistols and coffee for two will no
doubt be in demand. The insinua-
ton in the above paragraph is lots for
any man to take, but for a teetotaler
like st. John-'nuff" said. The
thing Of intimating that two honora-
BILE and sensible newspaper men would
leave a wet" town and go over, even
for a day to a "dry(O"lone is SANDER
of the cruelist sort, and reparation
should be made. His honor and good
Judgment is the principal part of a

ground sufficient for a SO, 900 damage
suit against the Clarion-Ledge from

A Paying Crop.

That raising sugar cane and maxi
arg molasses out Of it will pay in Mis-
Sissippi there is no reasonable doubt.
1t has been tried by a number of peo-
ple in various parts of the State, some
<of them in Grenada county. There is
Il fine market for the genuine open
kettle syrup, and it will be a great
Ehing for Mississippi farmers to push
she crop.
An instance of how the crop will
asring returns was seen in Grenada the
irst Of last week. Mr.. Dabney b.
Phillips, one Of the county's best far

cents a gallon. AT home he had
sAhout forty gallons more. All this
sxad been made on mt quarter of an

Mr.. A. c. LEIGH
Back From Arkansas, Texas And Indian
Territory.

Mr.. a. c. Leigh, one of the best
citizens and largest planters in the
county, has just returned from a
months trip through portions of Ar
kansas, Texas and Indian Territory.
He is a man of very keen observation,
and took special notice of the condi-
ton of farmers and business men
wherever he visited. He says that
practically the whole of the crops
have been gathered in those states,
and that about all the cotton had
been marketed. The business men
and farmers were much more discour-
aged than those of Mississippi, as
their condition was worse. Out in
the black belt" of Texas the crops
were about half what they were last
year.
While at Alvarado, Texas, Mr.
Leigh visited Mr.. Henry r. Jones
formerly a well known and esteemed
citizen Of Grenada. Mr.. Jones still
keeps up with the affairs of his ole
home through the SENTINEL, an(
says he does not see how he could dC
without it.

A Great Truth.

The following gem should be pasted
in every mans hat as a reminder OF
his duty when he desires to speak i'll
Of any woman. Remember this:
Beware how you speak of woman's
character. Think of the years she
has been building it, of the wound re-
ceived, of the toll and privations en-
dured, and let no suspicious follow her
actions. The purity of woman is the
salvation Of the race, the hope of fu-
ture greatness and the redemption of
man. Wipe out her purity, and man
sinks beneath the wave Of despair,
with not a star to guide him into a
channel of safety. Then think before
you speak, and remember that any
hog a root up the fairest flower that
ever grew, so the vilest man can ruin
the purest character"

ENCOURAGE THE NEGRO.

The Vicksburg American contains
the following editorial of encourage
ment and hope to the colored citizens
of Mississippi:
1.-THE worthy, honest and industri-
Gus negro has a friend and helper in
every true Southern man. In evil
dence of this we note the fair held in
Grenada every fall by the colored peo-
pie of that county. A handsome list
of prizes is given for the best displays
of farm and garden products, cattle,
fancy work, ETC., and two days of rae
ing events are had. In fact, the fair
does not fall much below the standard
of the fair given on the same grounds
every year by the white folks.
In this enterprise the white peo-
pie come to the assistance of the col
ored ones, and assist them in every
possible way, lend financial aid, ac-
cord praise and lend encouragement
by their attendance.
I'm every town in the South you
may find negroes Of wealth who are
conducting affairs Of magnitude sue
cessfully. These men are respected,
and given every right and privilege
that white men enjoy. The race that
is to rise must rise by the intrinsic
merits possessed by its members-nC
other people can impart to them the
attributes by which men rise to high
er things.
1.-The lesson is that the negro is the
master and molder of his own destiny
and by his own efforts must stand o.
fall. Therefore, every one of the race
should seek to emulate those negroe,
who gained education, wealth and in
~fluence, and by being industrious
honest, faithful, courteous, sensibl,
and amenable to the customs b.
which they are surrounded, gain TO
themselves what they covet in others
THE white man with the meri
and pluck to win fame and forum,
will do so-the unmeritorious MAJ
will fail. 1t is even so with the maj
whose skin is black. New Orlean

Il Better Plan

Mr. w Q Caskey, county super.
visor, tried the experiment of
building a bridge with the chain
gang instead of letting the work
by contract to the lowest bidder.
He selected the bridge across
Flat Greek to make the test on.
He hired one carpenter at a total
expense of SIS and placed him in
charge of the chaingang when he
was not there himself When he
completed the bridge a few days
ago and figured up the cost, he
found it was just as he thought it
would be-very much less than
under the plan usually heretofore
pursued. This bridge was 176
feet long and cost $40, while
another bridge, IS feet shorter.
built last fall under the old plan,
cost $285, a difference Of $115 in
favor Of Mr. Caskey's plan. 1t
may be that good portion OF
that saving comes in consequence
of Mr. Caskey himself being a
practical mechanic, and therefore
able to make out his own bills
and not have to pay a mechanic
big price to do it.
