TO THE PUBLIC.

We take pleasure in announcing
that we have secured the services of
Mr.. Lew A. Gates as associate editor
and general assistant in The Sentinel
Office. Mr.. Gates is a thorough and
capable all-round newspaper gentle
man, having had a number of years
experience in some Of the leading pa
perS of the country. He comes highly
recommended, and we take pleasure in
introducing him to the friends and
readers of The Sentinel as a gentleman
worthy of their consideration. He is
strong intellectually as well as genial
and companionable. His eStimable
wife accompanies him, and will here
after add to the society of Grenada.
They will doubtless receive that cor
dial reception for which our little city
is noted.

The Colored Citizen, a Boston publ
cation, whose editor has come in per-
sonal contact with the negro race
North and South, gives some whole
some advice in the following, after
noting the tendency Of his race in the
North to rush into mass meetings and
adopt denunciatOry resolutions regard
ing occurrences in other parts of the
country: The ColOred Citizen says:
I'VE deplore 1.-THE condition of the
negroes in the Southern States as
much as any one can, but after a care
full observation through the Southern
States we find that many Of the ne
-grOeS there are getting a great deal
more out of life than we are here, and
most of them are decidedly more use
full to their race and country than we
who believe in resolutions and hot air
speeches as a means Of lettering pres
ent conditions. The evils suffered by
the race in the South cannot be cured
by resolutions passed in a mass meet
ing held in New England. A manly
stand for justice and frank discussion
of the situation with Southern men
upon the ground, backed by intelli-
gence, is a surer aud better way Of
reaching our difficulties. And a man
need not suffer martyrdom in order to
render this service, because it is our
observation and experience that South
ern white men are perfectly willing to
discuss in a sane and temperate man
ner the problems affecting their sec
tiOn."
The mass meetings of the Northern
negroes serves no purpose, except to
infiame the minds and to excite racial
friction, and the soonerlthe practice is
discontinued that much sooner will a
solution of the great problem be reach
ed. Were there more blacks like the
editor of the Colored Citizen, the re-
IationS between the whites and ne
groes of the south would be far more
friendly and greater would be the
prosperity of both races.

That Grenada is rapidly assuming
more ~pretentiouS proportions no one
familiar with obtaining conditions
can successfully deny. Numerous i'm
p0rtant improvements which tend to
advance the material interests of the
town are now under way, while others
are in contemplation. Work has COM
menced on a SIS, 900 spoke and skewer
factory; the contract has been award
ed for the erection of a $12, 900 county
Jail; the PresbyterianS ask for bids for
an edifce of worship to cost about
SIC, 900, besides which it is known
that at least two business blocks will
be erected this season.

COL. BRENT CALLS MEETING.
Will Try to Have Philippine War
Soldiers Organize.

Colonel H. L. Brent of the COVER
nor's office has called a meeting of To-
peka Philippine war soldiers. to be
held next Monday evening at O'Clock
at the governors Office, for the pur-
pose of forming a local camp of the
Society of the Army of the Philippines.
This is an organization that was
started by some of the returned Phil
ippine veterans at Denver in 1900. Its
object is to promote good fellowship
among those who served in the trou-
bles in the Philippines and to preserve
the history of the Instruction Off
GERS and enlisted men who served in
the Philippines in either the army or
navy prior to July 4, 1902, are eligible
to membership. Colonel Wilder S.
Metcalf is the present president of tn e
organiza ton and T. E. Duncan of Kan
sas City is secretary. There are now
three local camps in Kansas, at Law
renee, lola and Pittsburg.
The national meetings of the organ
ization are held on August 8 of each
year. This is the date of the evacua-
ton of Manila by the Spanish. The
state meetings are held on February
4, the anniversary of the outbreak of
the instruction
There are a good many Twentieth
Kansas soldiers in and around Topeka,
and possibly some who served in other
regiments in the Philippines. All of
these are invited to the meeting at the
governors Office on Monday evening.

IRON MARKET STRONG.
On Well Founded Expectations OF
Large Consumption Next Year.

Cleveland, Dec. Actual develop
ments from week to week, as well as
the well founded expectation that 1905
is to be a year of large consumption of
iron and steel in the United States,
says the Iron Trade Review, give a
very strong tone to the market In
the past week a further advance in
northern pig iron has taken place and
material has advanced in all markets
While the number of pig iron buy
ers the past week was small, compared
with taht of month or six weeks ago,
large consuming capacity, and the size
of their purchase past the newly
established level indicates how unex-
pected the upturn was, as was also the
ability of producers to get successfully
higher prices in recent weeks. A large
machinery interest in the P1ttsourg
district has bought IL, 600 tons at an
advance over last weeks price, and
central western pipe works have taken
10000 to 1000 tons, some of this iron
being on the basis of $15 at furnace
for northern No. g. Northern FUR
naces have all put up prices IN the
week, and at SIG now asked for NO.
at central western furnaces, are IN
some markets on a parity with $lS
No. 2 Birmingham. Southern sellers
who held for $3.50 are thus so cents
above the northern price in many To-
calities, but are nevertheless holding
firm and intimating that their price
will be $14 in the near future.
Bessemer iron has advanced to
S15.25 and $3.50 at central western
furnaces, with furnace men less con-
cerned than some months ago as to
the future requirements of the steel
corporation. The latter is starting
these furnaces this week in addition
to two last week. Coke prices con-
tinue to advance and a factor in the
Connellsville market is a long time
contract of the Lackawanna Steel
company, indicating that no large de-
pendence will be put on its own mines
and ovens for many months.
A steel bar meeting will occur early
in December and an advance of 50
ton is a practical certainty. Plates and
shapes will come UP for consideration
before the middle of December and
an advance of 50 to 81 will be made
in both. Bar iron has advanced 81 a |
ton further and $1.55 Pittsburg is now
the price of the leading producer.
High scrap made the position of iron
rolling mills far more comfortable at
the old price for their product.
Among advances expected, which |
may be effective by the time this re-
view is read, is one of 81 to 81 on wire
goods and 50 a ton on wire ials. An
other advance in merchant pipe is also
looked for.

Estimate Of Engineer for Sixth
Ward Sewer.
49,
VIII Be Over Eight Miles in
+-u
Length.
g NOT YET THROUGH.
Councilman Hughes Tells Why
He Opposes 1t.
The City Wants No More "Dry
Sewers"

= city Engineer McCabe has practically
completed his estimates on the Sixth
ward sewer, and finds that the job will
cost very close to $50. 200. There are
z,100 lots in the sewer district, which
would make the average cost about
SIS per lot. The average cost of the
Fifth ward sewer, now under construc-
tion, is about $45 per lot. The reason
the Sixth ward sewer will cost less per
lot is because the mains are not as
large, and there is comparatively little
brick work. The largest sized pipe in
the Fifth ward job is As inches, while
so Inches is the maximum for the
Sixth ward job.
The Sixth ward sewer will be a long
one, its total length being $40 miles.
It will cover practically all the terri
tory between Fifth, Huntoon, Clay and
the city limits.
1t will consist of the following sizes
and amounts of pine:
