The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1905-07-15
Here is a piece o truth from the Dem

Here is a piece from Ihe DeN
o~crat-Star:
"a town that never has anything to
do in a public way is on its way to
the cemetery. Any citizen that Will
do nothing for his town Is helping to
dig the grave. A man that will curse
his town is furnishing the coffin. The
one who is so selfish as to have no time
from his business to give to city affairs,
is making the shroud. The merchant
who will not advertise Is driving the
hearse. The man who is always pull
ing from any public enterprise throws
boquets on the grave. The raan VINO
is so stingy and selfish as to always be
bowling hard times, breaches the fu-
neral sermon and sings the doxology,
and thus the tow lies buried free from
all sorrow and care"
The strenuous charge of Judge Catch
ings to a grand jury at Vicksburg a lew
DAYS since, made necessary by a whole
sale violation of the law, again calls
the attention of all good people to the
imperitave necessity of never comprls-
ing but always demanding that 1t be
strictly enforced on all occasions. The
example of Memphis should be sutti-
cient warning to our people what will
be the result Of allowing the law to be
infracted. 1t is the duty of every c1tl-
zen, not only 10 himself and family, but
to his country, to furnish aid at all
times to the officers who are bound to
enforce the law. If they will not do so,
elect men that you know will enforce
it.
Fl. G.. Robinson of West Point, has
come to the conclusion that fruit rals-
ING pays, if he has not been OF the opln-
ion all the time. He has three peach
trees that brought him S45 for the fruit
crop this year and others that Melted
nice sums. They were OF the Greens
boro' variety, a large white peach with
rosy tints. Not a large number of the
trees of this kind would bring an income
that would support a family without
trouble. While the crop is not an alb
sClute. sure ore, it is about as safe az
any raised down here and the inclination
of our people to branch out from cotton
ard raise more fruit, hay, hogs and
like products is increasing from year to
year.

ment. About six cars will be made al
together, and the price being paid is
highly satisfactory. Amory is in q sec
ton of the State that should prove a
tracking center, and the experiment
made this year will likely prove a slim
illus to others to go into the business.
James Evans of Muldon, Monroe
county, has 1000 bushels of old corn
and will make a large crop again this
year. He has so acres of RellilOtus
which helps to feed his stock, 10 head
of cattle, 65 hogs and pillow stock to run
the farm.
The Durant wagon factory at Green
wood will soon resume business after
an enforced shut down of some weeks.
There are only a few factories OF this
description in the State and the writer
notes with satisfaction the fact that all
, seem to be doing nicely. Mississippi
offers a fine field for such factories, and
there is every reason why a number
1 should be established during the next
few years. Make your timber into the
