SANITATION AND FUMIGATION
The Ladies OF Grenada Organize
For That Purpose

Pursuant to call made by the
Board Of Health, a very representa-
tive number OF the ladies of the tOwr
met at the court house last Monday
evening for the purpose of organizing
a sanitation and fumigation crusade
in Grenada.
The meeting was called to order by
DR.. j. W. Young, County Health OF.
ticer, who said that no work could be
successfully accomplished without the
aid and directing hand Of the ladies.
And knowing. he said, that the ladies
were ever ready TO forward any good
work. he had called upon them.
Mayor Adams also made short
talk encouraging the movement, and
assuring the ladies the support of the
city administration.
The ladies perfected organization
tin by electing Mrs. E. A. MeaderS
president and filling the other neces-
Sary offices. After some discussion.
committees were appointed and it was
decided to make next Tuesday, the
10th, fumigation day.
Every home in town will doubtless
be visited, and we are sure that they
will have the hearty cooperation of
every family in town in this very i'm
portant public work.

A Clean Mouth.

A distinguished author says: 81
resolved, when a child, never to use {
word which could not pronouce be-
fore my mother. He kept his reso.
luton, and became d pure minded, no
BILE honored gentleman. His rule
and example are worthy of imitation
by every boy.
Boys readily learn a class of low,
vulgar words and expressions which
are never heard in respectable circles.
OF course we cannot imagine a de-
cent girl using words she would not
utter before her father or teacher or
most welcome friend.
Such yulgarity is thought by some
boys to be smart" the next
thing to swearing" and yet not SO
wicked" but it is a habit which leads
to profanity, and fills the mind with
evil thoughts. It vulgarizes and de-
grades the soul. and prepares the way
for many of the gross and fearful sins
which now corrupt society.
Young readers, keep your mouths
free from all impurity. and your
tongue from evil;" but in order to
do this, ask Jesus to cleanse your
heart and keep it clean. Selected.

NEGRO KILLED AT CRAP GAME
Transgression of This Son of Ham
Proved Disastrous

On last Sunday evening a few me-
grOes concluded they would while
away few hours of the Sabbath by
indulging in crap game. So Richard
Lane and few others assembled at
the house of Josh Booker, living on
the farm formerly owned by the late
Col. H. H. BarkSdale, and they begun
to throw seven and eleven. In short
while Lane had five dollars OF Booker'S
money in his pocket, and concluded
that it was very good time for him
to quit. On his starting to leave, a
quarrel ensued between him and
Booker. which resulted in Booker
killing Lane. Booker was captured
that night near Torrance in Yalo-
busha county, and is now here in Jail.
We know no definite particulars as
to the aggreSS0r in the difficulty.

PURCHASE X-RAY MACHINE
Drs. Scruggs and Young Make a
Stride Forward i'm Their
Office Equipment
A VERY COSTLY INVESTMENT
Vibrator is Also Included in the Purchase
This Machine for the Application of
Massage Treatment of Patients
SANE HACHINES AS USED IN LARGE CITIES

Drs ). ID. ScruggS and j. w. Young
have recently purchased very large
Static. or X-Ray machine, that pre-
pares them to treat almost all dis.
eases and physical disorders of the
human system, and to do the work
done in the sanitoriums Of our large
cities.
The X-Ray treatment has been
successfully tried with rheumatism,
cancer, incipient consumption, indol-
ent ulcers, sores and all skin diseases
and 1T is indeed very fortunate
thing for the people of Grenada and
this section of country that they
can obtain at home the treatment,
resulting from the latest achievements
of science, that, heretofore, they have
been compelled to seek in Chicago,
Baltimore and other places.
1t is progressive public spirit that
prompted these gentlemen to make
this costly investment, and they
should be rewarded by the encourage
meDt and aid of our home people in
their endeavorS to reach those that
would likely be benefited by the ap-
plication of. the X-Ray treatment. 1t
is no experiment. 1t has been tried.
1t is success.
They have also supplied themselves
with another very important machine,
a Vibrator, by which the massage
treatment may be applied to patients.
The massage treatment" is now re-
garded as a very important one by the
medical world, some almost marvel
lOuS cures having been effected thereby
Their office will be over Hughes
Drug Store, which is now being fitted
up TO comport with the fine appliances
placed therein.

The Ladies' Meeting.

To the Ladies of Grenada :-Ir
answer to call from our efficient
board Of health, number Of ladies
met at the court house Monday after.
noon, September 10th.
DR.. Young soon explained the OBJ
ject of said call, and suggested that
the ladies organize themselves into a
body to be known as the Civic I'M
provement Association. - This was
readily done.
AS we all know. DR.. Young has
stood at his post Of duty for weeks,
trying to devise plans by which our
little city may be protected from the
dread fever, which has already so per-
sistently made inroads into our state.
Now he asks the cooperation of the
ladies. which should meet a hearty
response.
Surely with memories of the suffer
ing and distress of 1878 ever before us,
we need only to be reminded of our
duty to be wide awake to it.
Committees have already been ap-.
pointed and thorough work COM
menced. Let US have your support.
We appeal to every lady in Grenada
to meet with US at the court house
Monday afternoon, September l8, that
we may more fully explain and under
stand this matter.

ASSASSINATION OF A NEGRO
White Men Sold Ed James Blind
Tiger Whiskey, Then Sealed
His Lips Forever
AN ATTEMPT TO BURN BODY
Negroes Were Induced as Accomplices in
Carrying Out Plans for the Bloody
W~rk-They Were Captured
ON HON. EARL BREWERS PLANTATION

A dark and daStardly crime was
committed by three white men named
Ike Loflin, Bay Lofiin and Jake Hutch.
inson near Vance, in Tallahatchie
county, on the night of September 4.
They killed negro by the name of
Ed. James and attempted to burn his
body, but in this they failed.
The facts were about these: 1t
seems that the negroes living on Hon.
Earl Brewers plantation, near Vance,
gave festival on the night of Sept.
2. These men were blind tiger ven-
dorS and common crap shooters. They
were present the night of the festival
and sold whiskey. They took it into
their heads that the negro, Ed.
James. whom they killed, was going
TO report them, so they determined to
put him out of the way, which they
did.
Two negroes and one white man
named John Melton, whom these three
white men cajoled into the affair
with them, have been arrested, but
the LOfiinS and Hutchinson have fled.
The LOtiinS were reared in the
southern part Of Calhoun county, near
the edge Of Grenada county. Hutch
inSon was raised near Durant. 1t
is thought that they are making their
way to Choctaw county, where the
LohinS have a cousin.
The whole country round about
there is aroused, and MI Brewer,
who is District Attorney for that dis
trict, is on the ground giving the
matter his personal attention. The
Governor has offered a reward of 5000
for the capture of the fugitives and it
is hoped that they will be taken and
that punishment be meted out to
them which their bloody crime de-
serves. Their deed demands that
they expire at the end of d rope.
The large reward offered ought toI
bring about their speedy capture.

A REAL RUBBER-NECK GIRL
Such is to be Found at the Lewis
~ Clark Exposition at
Portland, Ore.
BUT SHE DOESN'T CHEW GUM
Many Things Interesting to be Seen and
Heard, Among Which is "A Lecture ON
the Charms OF Yellowstone Park
LECTURES ON IRRIGATION AND ALASKA

Have you seen the rubber-necl
girl?" is the popular question at tn,
Lewis and Clark Exposition, Port
land Oregon.
Sure; thousands of them," is thu
common reply, and commonly you are
mistaken; for there is only one rub
ber-neck girl, properly speaking, anG
she has permanent quarters at the
Manufactures building at the Fair
This rubber-neck girl has a beauti.
full face, peach-bloom complexion,
and baby stare. She stands all day
long. and never gets tired, for she
stands on rubber mat. Twenty
times minute she turns to the right
and stares with her baby stare, and
as many times she turns to the left.
She is a wonderful girl, to be sure.
The rubber-neck girl in the Manu-
factureS' building at the Fair is in one
way superior to the ordinary rubber
neck girl. She does not chew gum.
The reason for this is that her me-
chanism does not provide for gum
chewing
The rubber-neck girl is used to at
tract attention to d rubber exhibit,
and she does her duty. She has a
rubber neck that is a marvel to look
upon. 1t is three and half feet long,
and curved like the neck of a goose.
Undoubtedly one of the greatest
hits OF the Lewis and Clark ExpOsi-
tion at Portland, Oregon, is being
made daily by Barry Bulkley, who lee

building at the fair. The section de-
voted to the department of the Inte-

The lecture room begins to fill up
every afternoon an hour before Mr..
Bulkley is to begin his lecture. When
the time arrives and the lecturer en-

extra chairs have to be placed inside |

Board of Supervisors Reduce the Tax Levy.

BY reference to the published pro-
ceedingS Of the Board Of Supervisors,
which appear elsewhere in this issue
of The Sentinel, it will be seen the
Board levied tax Of eight mills for
county purposes this year, which is a
reduction of two mills below the levy
OF 1904. This speaks well for the
Board and is a high compliment to
their management of the county s
finances. They have not been parSi-
monious, but have been progressive
and no public work has been neg
lected.
The total state and county levy Is
Ii mills, and we are sure that the
tax payers of the county JOIN with us
in congratulating the Board.
