The Crop Outlook.

Notwithstanding favorable re-
ports coming from other sources
the government continues to take 6
rather gloomy view of the crop out
look in Mississiippi, and the week.!
report just issued is of a very pes
simistic nature. The report state:
that cotton is shedding badly in this
northern part of the State, boil
worms are getting in destructive
work in Kinds and Rankin counties
The government admits, however,
that the prospect is about as good as
it was last year, although much be-
low what it was a month ago. The
latter statement is doubtless correct,
but there are good reasons to dispute
the reliability of the former asser-
ton, and if an average price of from
8 to 8 cents is received for the crop
the farmers will make a large profit
on the season. The corn crop is
generally excellent throughout the
State, and the farmers who are COM
PEELED to buy this product for their
stock before the next crop is gath
cred will be exceedingly few in
number.

extravaganza and speculation. Lands

You'd their true value, where it IA
impossible for the owner to produce
enough to pay interest on the invest

hilarating promise of continued high
prices loaned to the land and stock

paying interest. Other bankers specu-
lated with their customers money;
somO of them have paid the forfeit

Why Remain a Jeilyfish?

The above is the title under which
President Hamilton Douglass, of At
lanta's (Ga.) board of education. says:
"Three departments of our schools.
music, physical culture, and manual
training, in which it may fairly be
said that only beginnings have been
made, have been subjected to adverse
criticism by those who are not IA
miliar with the school problems or to-
day. It has been said that u ances-
tors were educated only in the three
RS with none of these so-called
'frills;' and therefore these things are
super1ous and unnecessary. 1t must
be remembered that those same ances-
tors attained commercial and social
success without railroads, telephones,
or telegraphs, which they could not do
under the changed conditions of the
present day. When the jellyfsh was

A Lost Sword.

Adjutant-G General Fridge has re-
ceived a letter from j. r. Wood.
head Of a detective agency in Bos-
ton, and formerly a lieutenant III
the Sixth United States cavalry dur
the civil war, relative to a sword
found during That great conflict
The letter is as follows:
l have in my possession an officers
sword which came into my hands d'r-
ing the late war of '61-65. The insrr!p
ton on the leather scabbard is Lieut.
L. =. Remington, Company c. Six
teenth Mississippi Rows.
Can you by the records in your ~
flee learn anything of the present
status of Lieut.. Remington or his rela-
tives. l would be only too glad, if he
is alive, to place the sword in his pcs
session, and. if dead, to give it to his
relatives. If there is a son | think he
should have it.
If the above letter attracts the
attention of the relatives of Lieut..
Remington, they car address Mr.
Wood at the Herald Building, Bos-
ton.

Held by His Whiskers.

Miles Henderson, a farmer living
near Water Valley, was splitting :
red oak log. He was bending owe
the half split log to- remove tn
wedge to a point further up the
trunk, when the glut slipped from
its place. The log sprang together
with a snap, and Hendersou's long
beard was caught between the sides
of the split. Henderson was unable
to help himself from the trying po-
sition, and was forced to remain
with his chin to the log until found
in the evening by members OF his
family, who had become alarmed
because of his long stay in thu
woods.

To Entertain the Teachers.

Elizabeth A. Meseroll, n Of the
.cleverest teachers of Trenton, N. j.,
made a hit at the recent reunion o.
the alumni of the State schools by
her response to a toast. Among other
things, she said:
'"Inat the school teacher should
be toasted Is obviously fitting. For
though this association boasts of its
doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief, its
rich man, poor man, its beggarman,
and, perhaps, thief. yet in far more
alarming measure does the school
teacher abound. Semi-annually we
hold our breath when the normal
pours out largs classes upon the help
less State. We wonder what will be-
come of the graduates. Sometimes
we wonder what will become OF the
State. One by one, however, they find
some channel of work and disappear
from the general sight, except when
on some such occasion as this one i5
fished out and held suspended before
the public view. How eagerly shall
we follow the short and simple an
nsIsi How irresist;bly shall we De
drawn to the conclusion which will
run like a refrain through the glowing
words:
"'Some are dead and some are wed,
But most go on forever
"The school teachers flourish dis.
tintctly in two armies-the one small
but strong-the males; the other
large, but feeble-the females. Down
through the years militant they go
the small, strong army a step or two
in advance; the large, weak army fol-
lowing with becoming meekress.
Menaces and challenges have been
thrown from IN army to the other,
sometimes actual engagements have
occurred. But in the main the armies
march forward amicably together
against the common foe, for the
angels of tolerance and fo~rbearance
walk between and they keep tho
peace.
Forth they go, conquering and to
conquer, battling against ignorance,
vulgarity and stupidity; warning
against prejudice, struggling fiercely
for life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness. until one by one they make a
triumphant entrance as retirement
fund annuitants."

Chanued His Name.

Tommy Mohr, of the Broadway The
alter, entertained his friends the other
day at the Ringing shows and was
reminded of a story, according to
Georges Denver Weekly.
SIN a small town down South" he
said, "a circus went broke. The star
of the show, to whom the greatest
amount of back pay was due, was
Xerxes, the human catapult. He could
put up a 500-pound dumbell and put
the S0-pound shot.
1.-THE wise proprietor said he would
pay of all claims in alphabetical or
der. Of course, the treasury was eX.
hausted before thew reached x.
ga few days after the proprietor
called together his company for re-
organization on a new basis, full oil
alluring prospects. The strong man
was one of the first to volunteer.
"tAh, Xerxes!' said the boss, begin
ming to write the name.
"sXerxes be -!' roared the strona
man. MY name lis Ajax!'"

Signs That Will Not Fail.

Shifting OF distinguished citizens from
,ne side to the other is OF little signii-
canoe. 1t occurs in every campaign and
ON toos small a scale to be effective. But
when a republican candidate for elector
in West Virginia withdraws from the
ticket because he will not support Mr..
Roosevelt, and a republican candidate
for judge in the same state. who was
formerly a gold democrat, says that he
will support Parker and Davis, is it not
unreasonable to suppose that the Incl
dents indicate the loyalty Of West

a for the Test.

A teacher in one of the schools e
Philadelphia had one day been so dis
turbed by the buzzing of lips and
shutting of feet of the children that
she was on the verge of distraction.
Finally she said:
Children, / cannot stand so much
noise. Please be quiet, for a little
while at least. Let me see if you cart
be SO still that you could hear a pin
Drop"
Instantly every child became as stu
as a mouse. Then a little boy In a
back seat piped out with marked i'm
patience:
"Well let her DROP"

Coal and Oil In Neshoba.

The citizens of Philadelphia, in
Neshoba county, besides being con-
fident that they have oil in their
town, are much of the opinion that
they have an unlimited supply OF
coal beneath their soil. A farmer
living about a mile from the town
was digging a we'll the other day,
and noticed a dark color to some of
the material being taken out, and
upon examination it gave every re-
semblance to coal. Several more
feet were bored and the same strata
was noticed, which appears to have
no limit in its' kdepth. Another
striking feature that made the be
lief of the people all the stronger
was the fact that so much gas ac-
cumulatcd that it was possible to
dig only a few feet at a time. This
supposed coal was tried by the black
smiths in the-neighborhood and gave
as much satisfaction as charcoal.
According to the belief Of many Of
the people in Philadelphia. there is
no doubt that they have either coal
fields or something resembling very

The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1904-09-17

The State treasury went broke on
tie 9Th, and payments of warrants
drawn against the State have been
suspended.
When the treasury was opened
tor business in the morning only
$500 vas on hand in the vaults.
While the big iron doors were being
opened an employee Of the prison
board Of control was waiting at the
cashiers window and presented a
warrant for $50, which left only

an amount smaller than this sum
ar outstanding, and the treasury
Will be unable to make any more
payments until cash from some
quarter is secured.
No word has been received from
the Chicago bond syndicate. Unless
the bond issue is taken up-and
confidence of help from this quarter
is growing less day by day-the
State will be in a most humiliating

meantime Mississippi must stand off
her creditors.
Holders of warrants, and espe-
cially those who need the money,
are in a rather embarrassing pre-

ing institution. The banks OF
Jackson are not taking warrants in
any considerable quantities, al

to look after their friends and pa

with them. "We are not willing,
however, to stand sponsor for the
State treasury deficit simply because
we happen to be located in Jack

<'We would be specially reluctant to
take treasury warrants, because
there is no telling when we will be
able to GET our money on them
Nearly all the warrants now out
standing are those of State officials
and members of the Judiciary, who
are paid monthly. The officials in
Jackson have nearly all drawn pay
