ANNUAL LOG ROLLING.
Woodmen Will Meet at Vicksburg Next
Week for Outing.

The second annual meeting of the
Mississippi Valley Log Rolling asso-
citation will be held at V:cksburg on
August and 3, and from present in
dications the attendance will be large.
A splendid program has been prepar-
ed for the occasion. Among the
speakers who will address the Wood
men are Gov. Jas. X. Vardaman and
the Hon. John Sharp Williams. The
visitors will be handsomely entertain
ed. They will be given an oppor-
tunity to see the Vicksburg National
Military park, the National cemetery
and other places of interest. There
will be band contests and competitive
drills.
Grenada, which has one Of the most
prosperous Camps in the South, COM
posed of representative citizens to the
number Of 112, will not be at the log
rolling. Let it be said in this connec-
tiOn that as a fraternal organization
the Woodmen contrive to make their
meetings interesting, and consequent
ly have large attendance. A mem
ber of a camp is made to feel at home
whenever he meets a frater, or when
ever he visits a camp away from his
own city.
The order was organized in 1890
and chartered in the early part OF
1891, thus giving it thirteen actual
working years. In that time it has
placed the names of more than 4OO,'
900 members on it's rolls. The bene

DEATH OF BENZ. R. WINTER.
Highly Esteemed Resident of Yalobusha
County Passes Away.

Benz. r. Winter, an old and highly
respected resident of Torrance, 4alo-
busha county, died on Tuesday or
dysentery at the age of seventy years,
after brief illness, and was buried in
Odd Fellows cemetery in this city on
Wednesday afternoon, the funeral be-
ing from the Presbyterian church,
conducted by the Rev. j. G. Carothers.
The deceased had been resident OF
Yalobusha county for nearly fifty
years. and was known throughout
North Mississippi as an honest, up
right man, a substantial friend and a
splendid citizen. Before the war Mr..
Winter was one of the most extensive
planters in this section, and the hOSpi-
talitv of his home was noted for
many miles around. The closing of
the strife between the States found
Mr.. Winter embarrassed financially,
but, like many another, he was COM
pelled to make the best of the deplor-
able situation, and with that indomi-
table courage which was characteris-
tic of him, he undertook to retrieve
his lost fortune, and in this undertak-
tiH he was fairly successful. That he
had the confidence and esteem of the
Ipeople of Yalobusha is shown by the
| fact that for four years he served as
treasurer of that county, being elected
by large majority. He Was faith
full and conscientious public servant.
Besides widow, three sons and
two daughters survive him. They
are William Winter of Yalobusha
county, Benjamin and John Winter OF
Sharkey county, Mrs. Robert Towne:
of this city, and Mrs. Crenshaw o.

assumed charge of the parish soon af-
ter the yellow fever epidemic in 1878,
which disease reduced the member
ship to a mere handful. During all
these intervening years he has labored
diligently and successfully in the vine
yard of the Master, ministering to the
spiritual welfare of a growing member
ship, until today the enrolment num-
berS more than one hundred and nifty
names. The church is on substan-
tial financial foundation, the greater
part of the SIC, ZOO necessary for the
erection of the proposed new building
being in hand.
The structure which will soon be
wrecked was built in 1887, the funds
for the purpose being provided jointly
by the PresbyterianS and the Masons.
The second floor of the building was
for many years occupied by the local
Masonic lodge, and to this order, as
we'll as to many of the older members
of the church, pleasant memories still
cluster about the ancient structure,
and while beautiful house of modern
architectural design will Supplant it,
it is with pang of regret that it is
to be forever taken away.
The last service to be held in the
church will be that of Sunday night,
when the Rev. William Roberts, pas
tor of the First Baptist church, will
conduct union ServiseS.

DAMAGE TO COTTON.
Recent Copious Rains Materially Retard
Growth of the Stalk.

From interviews with various ex-
tenSive planters during the past week
representative of The Sentinel learns
that the outlook for the cotton crop
is less encouraging than at this time
last season, and that under the most
favorable weather conditions not more
than three quarters of last years
yield can be expected. The frequent
copious rains have retarded the growth
of the stalk, while the weeds have
grown to enormous proportions.
