The weekly country paper has as
definite excuse for being in the world
as can be furnished by the city dailies.
Such publication is not only a busi-
ness guide, but is a pulpit of morals;
it is kind OF public rOStrum where
the affairs Of the state are considered;
1T is a supervisor Of streets and roads;
it is social friend, a promoter OF
friendship and good will. Edited by
a broad and just man. such a publica-
tiOn so treats the different Sects that
they realize their brotherhood and be-
come in reality what they are pictur-
ed in print. The town weekly dares
not be Presbyterian, or Baptist, or
Methodist, but it must select the val
liable in each church, thus it becomes
the harmonizer of diScord. 1t binds
those whom theology would often sep
arate. Even the SO-called small mat
ters Of a village or incorporate town
are small only to those whose hearts
are too full of personal interest. 1t
is very important IL some school boy
reads good essay, or speaks we'll a
piece, or sings we'll song, or stands
high lin the class room, that kind
mention should be made publicly OF
such success, for more young minds
are injured by the want Of cheering
words than are made vain by an ex-
cess OF such praise.

CAPT. MERRY'S GOOO WORK
As General immigration Agent
of the |. G. Railroad.
SENDING OUT DESCRIPTIVE LITERATURE
More Than Nine Hundred Families
Located In rIississippi, Tennessee,
and Louisiana Last Year.

Captain j. f. Merry, General I'M
migration Agent of the Illinois Gen.
tral and the YazOO s. Mississippi Val
ley Railroad Companies, reports that
from June 30th, 1905, to June 30 tn
1906, nine hundred and fourteen fam
lilies from points north Of the Ohio
river were located at points contiguous
to the Illinois Central and Yazoo &
Mississippi Valley Railroads in West
Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana.
This report does not include the many
families who located at New Orleans,
Memphis, Jackson, Vicksburg and
other large cities Of these states. In
addition to these, upwards OF three
hundred Italian families were located
in the same territory during the same
period nearly all of whom came through
the port OF New Orleans. His report
also shows that during the year ], ,O1O,-
500 circulars and $4,000 pamphlets
concerning the resources and pos
SibilitieS Of the three Southern states
mentioned, were sent out from his Of
flee aud mailed to inquirers from ev-
SAy oCoCC Ill tuC OHiOkI, dnu CICVCu
ferent foreign countries. Much of the
southern literature written by Capt.
Merry is printed in English, German,
Hungarian, and Italian. He has also
just completed manuscript for an il
luStrated one hundred and twenty-five
page pamphlet concerning "The va
ZOO Mississippi Valley" which the
noted correspondent, William E. Cur
tis, declares is the richest valley on
this hemisphere. The captain does not
regard the location of l, 200 families in
one year as remarkable showing, but
in view Of the stringent quarantine reg
ulatiOnS during the first quarter OF the
year, he is inclined to think the re-
suits are all that could reasonably |
have been expected. Captain Merry I
expects the hearty cooperation OF ev-
cry citizen Of Tennessee, Mississippi! !
and Louisiana in making his report |
for next year read 1000 families in
stead Of ], 200. All who would like to
assist the Illinois Central Railroad
Company in bringing the right class Of
south should write Cap
tain J. F. Merry at Manchester, Iowa,
for fupply Of his literature.

Eugene Campbell Dies in Oxford.

We regret to chronicle the death OF
Mr.. Eugene Campbell, which sad
event occurred at his home in Oxford
on last Tuesday evening, after a pro-
tracted illness Of typhoid fever.
Mr.. Campbell was recently elected
manager Of the Perry-Jones Machine
Co., and had sold his property in Ok.
ford preparatory to moving here. He
was a young man about thirty y-eight
years old and was a splendid citizen
and his demise is a distinct loss to
Grenada as we'll as Oxford, where he
was so we'll known. He was a member
OF the Methodist church and identi.
fed with several fraternal orders.

IBAO PASSENGER SERVICE.
Is Now the Subject Of General
Complaint.
50 DECLARES "CT1EN" IN POSITIVE TERMS
insists That Something Be Done to
Provide Proper Conveniences
for the Public.

Editor Sentinel:-It is disgrace tt
the city OF Grenada and reflection
on the l. G. and Y. & M. ", railroad
companies that the present passenger
depot in Grenada is maintained ant
exists in it's present condition. TIL,
accommodations for passengers ar,
whollyIinadequate, unsuitable, and art
extremely diSagreeable and unpleaS
ant. The present depot building ir
1870 was constructed by the old M. &
Il. and NJ. G. railroad companies, tC
be used exclusively for freight; at that
time the passenger depot was in the
Chamberlain Hotel and accOmmOda-
tiOnS for passengers were maintained
in the hotel until its destruction some
eight or ten years ago. After the de-
StructiOn of the hotel, the north end
OF the old freight depot has been used
for the accommodation Of passengers.
1t is a very easy matter for the
pc 0ple Of the community to force the
railroad companies to construct Suita-
ble accommodations for the conven.
ience Of the travelling public, and all
we have to do is to 60 to the State
Railroad Commissioners and our de-
mandS will be heard and the railroads
will be forced to provide better &C
cOmmodations for its patrons.
Grenada is the largest and most i'm
portant place between Memphis and
New Orleans, except Jackson; more
passenger trains arrive and depart
daily from Grenada than any other
point between Memphis and New Or
leans, except Jackson, and yet, the
passenger accommodations at Grena-
da are the most miserable of any be-
tween the given points. The accom-
mOdatiOnS are so miserable and un-
comfortable that the majority of pas
Sengers, instead OF going to the depot,
20 to the Grenada Hotel and there re-
main until the arrival or departure of
trains. 1t is now, and has been for
many years the subject Of general
complaint, not only by the people but
by the travelling public, as to the un-
inviting and undesirable accommoda-
tionS for passengers. Something
ought to be done and that right away.
Grenada and it's vicinity, in every
other respect, has greatly improved in
the past few years and is forging
ahead and keeping pace with every
thing else, except in this one particu-
lar.
Let the Board of Mayor and Alder
men take this matter up Immediately |
with the State Railroad Commission |
and see that we have passenger de-
pot suitable for the accommodation |
and convenience OF the travelling pub
lie. 1t is all folly to talk about wait
ing for the railroad companies to make
these Improvements.
The railroad companies will not
move until they are forced to do so
by an indignant public.

AN APPEAL FOR FUNDS
Chairman Grisss Calls on Dem

HOUSE MAJORITY ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL
II Party Expects to Elect Next Pres
ident-. Money Needed for
Legitimate Expenses.

The Chairman OF the Democratic
National Congressional Committee
sends out the following appeal to
Democratic voters:
II there ever was a time in the his
tory OF the Democratic party for the
manifestation OF loyalty and patriot
ism on the part of it's members, it is
right now.
II we are to win a victory and elect
a President two years hence, we must
first elect a House of Representatives
this fall. A Democratic House can
and will investigate every department
OF the government. With all OF them
honeycombed by graft" the edges
OF which, only, have been touched by
recent exposure and prosecutions,
there will be revelation Of rotten
ness that will astound the country,
and create a demand for a Democrat
ic administration to clean the govern
ment workshop.
To win the House we need money
to defray legitimate expenses and get
out our vote. We have no protected
mOnOpOlieS from which to draw to fill
our Golfers, as they do those of the
Republican party. We must, there.
fore, appeal to loyal Democrats for
contributions.
Will you send us 81 90 at once, and
in return we will send you copies OF
our campaign literature issued by the
committee. You will have the thanks
OF the entire Democratic party for
your favorable response toour request.

Oh Southland, loveest land beneath the bright, bue
bending skies
Oh land most passionate this side the gates OF Para

A sense OF gladness uncon6ned was mine when first
set
My foot upon thy owery sod-it fingers with me yet
love thy immemoral hills, by human kind untrod,
The rose lights OF their raptured heights, touched
by the kiss OF God.-
The crash and warble ubilant of cataracts that leap
And fash and simmer thro' the vines that trail
from steep to steep.
love thy valley lands; they hold beauty never
sung,
As sweet as pure as undefled as when the world
was young.
AS then the ripe wild roses trail in scarlet msts of
bloom,
And sparkling, sunlit lily bells with amber hearts
As then the rivers roll and SURGE proud passionate,
and free,
Thro' sweeps of broad savannah lands to kiss the
golden sea.
love thy wild and waving woods. where in the
gloOms Of green,
The miracle magnolia flowers like fallen moons are
seen;
Where mockbrds twitter pipe, and trill thro' long
resplendent days
Till leaf and flower seem to dance in rhythm with
their lays.
