PROTECT THE BIRDS.
An Appeal 60 obs spOrtsmen of
Hissiaaippi.

Sportsmen on hunting trips are in the
habit of shooting birds that can in no
sense be considered game, simply for
practice 1t is undoubtedly fact that
large numbers Of red birds, jay birds,
flickers, sap suckers, wood peckers,
thrushes. black birds, cat birds, bullbats
and birds Of like character are destroyed
every year. Without considering the
aesthetic side Of the question, such birds
should not be killed From an economic
standpoint they are of great value to the
public in the way Of worm and insect
destroyers. 1t is said that a drove of
bullbats are OF more value to a malarial
district than grove Of quinine trees, for
the simple fact that in the spring and
summer their diet consists principally of
mosquitoes. And TO kill these valuable
servants for practice in shooting is a
practice that no true sportsman will en-
gage in. Let us hope that 1t is the result
of thoughtlessness. This appeal is made
to the sportsmen Of Mississippi to ask
them to consider the great value Of the
non-game birds and 'is believed that
they will not only an ~illias
such birds hss weif = gospel OF
protection at all times.

FOURTH OF JULY BARBECUE.
Landlord Leonard SpIendidly Entertains
Over One Hundred Guests.

Mine Host Leonard of Hotel South
most delightfully."- entertained a large
party of gentleman friends, numbering
more than one hundred, at dinner on
the Fourth of July, at which time
deliciouSly barbecued mutton in abun-
dance, accompanied by other good
things of varied character, were
served in Mr.. LeOnard'S well-knOwn
excellent style. The spacious dining
room was devoted to the purpose. AT
u O'Clock the invited guests of this
popular landlord were ushered before
the spread, and an hour or more was
spent in partaking of the feast and in
social intercourse. No addresses OF a
set character were attempted, the
whole affair being of that informal ma
ture where the ordinary conversation
aliSt is given the same opportunity TO
be heard as is the eloquent and gifted
after-dinner speaker, and where the
go-as-you- please Pennsylvania style of
hospitality makes one feel perfectly at
ease even if one does bring the knife
into use for the filling of the receptacle
for barbecued meats.
Landlord Leonard received many
high compliments from his apprecia-
tive guests for the splendid manner in
which he entertained, the only regret
being that the anniversary of indepen-
dence is not more provided,
of course, that Mr.. Leonard continues
to be Johnny y-on-the-Spot.

Elsewhere The Sentinel publishes a
synopsis of the first days proceedings
of the National Democratic cOnven-
tion which convened in St. Louis on
Wednesday, in which much interest
was manifested. The Hon. John
Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, was
elected temporary chairman, and de-
livered mastery address in which he
sounded the key note of the campaign,
concluding his remarks amid great en-
thusiasm. Senator Joe Bailey, of
Texas, was selected for permanent
chairman, but declined the honor in
favor of Congressman Champ Clark of
Missouri, who was unanimously elect
ed. For several days prior to the
convening of the convention the
several delegations assembled in the
Worlds Fair city were busy as bees
in the interest of their respective
candidates for the nomination to the
presidency, each pulling every avail
able wire, but all having in view the
one great end, the nomination of a
man who carried with him. sufficient
weight to win in the approaching po-
litical contest.
AS The Sentinel goes to press Fri
dry afternoon--no nominations have
been made, but indications point to
the nomination of Parker. A gold
standard platform will probably be
adopted.
