The New York Empire Theatre
Company.

Starting on Feb. 26th, the
New York Empire Theatre Com
pany will play a special return
engagement in this city. Their
opening bill will be the beauti-
full pastoral plav ''Dora," which
is founded on Tennison's poem.
1T is said to be different from the
ordinary drama, for the reason
that it is not only bubbling over
with the most delicious humor
and permeated with delightful
and natural sentiment, as tender
as it is true, but at the same time
the scenes and incidents, which
are true to life, have been
brought together in the most
dramatic and effective manner.
Those who have witnessed the
production of the story say that
the action is swift moving, carry
ing the interest of the spectator
from one incident to another
with, at times, bewildering rap
idity, and then, jnst as noun
tain stream, after dashing down a
steep, declivity, all roar and ex-
citement, will suddenly rush into
a sheltered nook, and then glide
on with tender murmuring, (.
does the robust and melo-drama-
tic elements suddenly blend them
selves into the purest and most
refined sentiment.
There are some eighteen MEM
bers of The Empire Theatre
Company and every member is
an artist, headed by the talented
young actress, Miss Elsie Gres-
ham, while the plays they give
will be given the most sumptuous
as we'll as artistic investitudes by
Miss Rujaero. Between acts
Miss Ruth Williams and Mr..
Alf Allen will Introduce special

Fine Meeting Assured.

There is no part of our country
that can claim a greater loyalty
and which take a greater inter-
est In their schools than the
northeastern part. This territory
includes districts Nos. q, E, AZ
and "a.
The work in these schools is
progressing nicely under the man
agement of ]. B. Leatherman,
Meldora Jackson, Edith McCourt,
and T. ]. Risley, respectively.
The interest manifested in these
districts is duein a large degree to
the educational meetings held at
Fairmount by Supt. Denman.
These meetings have always
been largely attended and much
enthusiasm displayed. The an
nual gathering of teachers, par
ents and officers is to occur to-
morrow. The Fairmount Grange
has joined hands with the schools
on this occasion. Thus will the
parents meeting arranged by
Sup't Denman have the loyal and
enthusiastic support of the
Grange and our parents, teachers
and officers. Such union of
forces will bring together one of
largest gatherings of the friends
of our common schools.
The above named districts
have been asked to prepare a lit
erary program. Sufficient pro-
gress has been made to insure a
fne program from these schools.
The musical program will con-
sist of singing songs, and an en-
tirely new program on the phon-
ograph. The noon hour will be
spsnt in having a basket dinner.
In the past this part of this pro-
gram has not been done by
halves. It is not exaggerating to
say that everv one attending will
be permitted to enjoy a sump-
tuous and delicious dinner.
Everyone is invited to bring
their basket with them.
The regular program will con-
sist of addresses and papers on
the following subjects and by the
following persons: 'Relation of

ELIJAH sKIPTok.
Judge w. S. McFadden Pays
Tribute to Departed.

Elijah Skipton died at his
home near Philamath on the IS
tn day of February, 1906, after a
sickness of few months and was
laid in his final resting place in
the Newton cemetery in the pres
ence of numerous of his friends
and acquaintance. The deceas-
ed was born in Monroe county
Ohio, on the 18TH day of Novem-
Der, 1891, and attained his 74th
year last November.
Since the age of II years he
has been dependent on his own
efforts and relied upon his own
industry for the results accom-
plished in life. With few educa-
tional advantages ne made the
best of the opportunities offered
by the public schools during the
winter months of his boyhood
and thus fitted himself for the
conflict of life. How success
fully he met all the substantial
requirements of manhood is we'll
known by the sspeop1e of Benton
county. From 1865 to the day
of his death he has been identifi-
ed with Oregon and particularly
this county. He has served
Benton county as its commission
er and assessor and filled with
honor and credit these trusts.
At the age of 23 years he crossed
the plains in the old way and
therefore was one of the early
pioneers of the Pacific coast. In
1856 he returned to Ohio where
he married Mary J. Marshall and
after remaining in the East few
years he returned to the coast,
where he has since remained.
He is survived by his wife, three
sons and a daughter, all favor
ably known to the people of Ben
ton comfy.
He was tactful and under the
most trying conditions resource
full and was able at all times to
meet every responsibility of life
successfully. While in years he
might be regarded as an old man
he still retained the joyous dis
position of youth.
He faced death with a calm
spirit and in the full possession of
his faculties, realizing to the full
extent that his earthly pilgrim
age was ended.
He died at peace with his God
and his fellow man. He con-
templated death as the inevitable
and arranged even the details of
his own funeral. Shortly before
death he said, SIT is well," and
in taking his farewell with two of
his old friends he said, I'VE will
meet on the other shore" {"
His was a we'll rounded life
and his memory will always be
cherished by those who knew
him. Peace to his ashes.

BREWER, SISSON, NOEL AND
SCOTT AT HEATH'S MILL
The Four Gentlemen Made Short Talks in the In
terests of Their Candidacy for Governor-A
Splendid Dinner Served-The Day Delight
full One-A Large Crowd Present.

The picnic announced for Heath's
Mill on the 10th brought together
somewhere in the neighbOrhOOd OF
a thousand or twelve hundred people.
Owing to the fact that it had rained
so frequently during the past several
days, many were doubtless deferred
from attending because Of the appear
ance of rain that morning. However,
the day proved to be an auSpiciOuS one,
and all nature seemed to add its
smiles to the occasion. The people OF
that community are noted for their
unbOunded hospitality and for always
making a success of such occasions.
The day of which we speak was no ex-
ception to their record.
The beautiful grove, the signing
pines and the oyer-hanging bOughs OF
the trees all seemed to lend dignity
and caste to the occasion. Every de-
mand and necessity Of the day had
been well provided for, even to the
watering Of the stock not being over
looked.
One thing in particular that made
many curious to be present was the
fact that the six candidates for COVER
nor had been invited to be present and
address the people. Four OF them,
MesSrs. Brewer, Sisson, Noel and
Scott, accepted the invitation and
were on hand. At IL o'clock. Mr.. NJ.
G.. Dubard in few appropriate re-
marks called for order and introduced
Mr.. Cecil Stands, one of Grenada s
promising young attorneys and Splen-
did young men, as one who would per-
form the function of introducing the
speakers.
Mr.. Stands at once arose and in a
few moments his words evidenced that
in him a most appropriate selection
had been made. He announced that
each speaker had been allotted forty
minutes and would be promptly called
down at the end Of that time and that
the four gubernatorial candidates
would make their addresses in the fol-
lowing order: Scott followed by Brewer
after which dinner would be served
and then MesSrS. Noel and SisSOn
would conclude the speech making.
Mr.. Scott said he had no political
speech to make and that his campaign
speech was now in an incubator at
Rosedale, his home. He talked about
farming and how he loved the farm
and the making of cotton.
Mr.. Brewer followed Mr.. Scott and
began by saying that he did not love
the making of cotton SO much as Mr..
Scott for the reason, unlike Mr.. Scott,
he had the practical side of it, the
actual plowing and picking of it. He

MRS. CARRIE CHRISTIAN DEAD
One of Grenada's TrueH Christian Char.
acters Passes Away.

Mrs. Carrie Farnandis Christian
passed away at the home of her sister,
Mrs. Kate Payne, in this city at an
early hour last Sunday morning after
many months Of suffering. Mrs. Chris
tian was about forty-five years old and
was splendid christian character. 1t
has been said of her that she lived
in a holy atmosphere" and desired
nothing other than the perfection Of
christian graceS. She had been a
consistent member of the Methodist
church since her girlhOOd and until
her health failed, was active in the
propagation of all church work. She
died as she lived, with firm and
Steadfast belief in the promises of a
risen Redeemer and expressed herself
as thoroughly satisfied as to the fu-
ture.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev'S. JacO, Holmes and. .CarOtherS
from the Methodist church on Monday
evening after which her remains were
carried to Odd Fellows cemetery for
their final resting place. TO the sOr-
rowing sister and other bereft ones,
The Sentinel offers sincere sympathy.
There were present from distance
to attend the funeral, Mr.. and Mrs.
f. r. Austin and Mr.. and Mrs. Albert

THE COTTON SUPPLY
Some Interesting Statistics on the Produc'
ton as Cleaned by Bradstreet.

Bradstreet' S says: "Apropos of the
attempts to produce cotton on COM
mercial scale in Egypt, India and 9TH
er British possessions in Africa and
Asia. so as to be independent of or
less dependent on the United States,
the st. Louis Globe Sug-
geStS that we ought to raise so much
cotton that there will be no incentive
for Europe to continue experimenting
Our st. Louis contemporary observes
that Texas alone could produce as
much as the United States raises to-
day, and still have millions OF idle
acres on which to raise cotton or any,
thing else which grows in her latitude.
1t is to the interest OF the United
tion far beyond the 1905 mark, and
far beyond the mark that is likely to
be touched in 1906. In 1905 the pro-
duction was about 100000 bales.
Through the increase of acreage the
output may be III, 900. 600 or III .5O0O,-
900 bales bales in 1906. The larger
the figure the better for the country.
The production was in the neighbor
hood CT l4,000,000 bales in 1904.
when the acreage as well as the har-
vest far exceeded all former figures.
A Is, ,000,OO bale crop would find a
ready market at remunerative prices
this year. While the worlds needs
are increasing rapidly its supply is
practically stationary or declining. "
That is the view Of the consumer.
or those who represent the consumers
OF cotton, and not the view Of the
producer Of the raw material. There
are two sides TO all questions. The
cotton planters know that in proper
tion as the yield increases, in the
same proportion the price decreases.
A l6, 900, 900 bale crop will not bring
them remunerative prices, and they
know it, and for that reason they are
trying to hold down the production.
A big crop may be better for the
country is, better for the con-
suming part of the country, but it will
scarcely be better for" the producers
of the cotton. 1t is according to how
you look at it.

elaborated briefly on several planks in
his campaign announcement and eX-
pressed great regret at not having
more time. He referred very feeling
ly to the kindness shown him by the
people of Grenada county in the past
and the pleasure he felt at being face
to face with them again.
At this juncture dinner was an
nounced and bounteous spread await
ed many hungry people. The dinner
was splendid, the crowd exceedingly
orderly and every appetite was amply
satisfied.
After a deal of social chatting and
laughter, the speech making was re-
Sumed by Hon. e. +. Noel. He thank
ed Grenada county for what she did
for him in the last state election and
explained why he thought his vote
was largely minimized in the last con-
test. He said that many of the friends
of both Of his opponents, in many pla-
ceS, sought to create the impression
that he was hardly in the race and
that on the eve of the election it was
even said that he had withdrawn. In
spite OF all this, however, he said he
received $4,000 votes. He gave his
reasons for hoping for success this
time and touched briefly upon a few
planks in his platform.
Mr.. SissOn was the last speaker and
knowing that he would not be follow
ed, he utilized the occasion to have
some fun at the expense of his OppC-
nentS and related a few anecdotes
which was literally enjoyed by the
audience. He said he had no plat
form for the reason that he was
Democrat and that he was standing
on the last National Democratic plat
form and that that was his creed un-
til another one was promulgated. That
if anyone desired to know his views
on any question OF state politics, that
he would be glad to answer any ques-
tion prOpounded at any time.
The best humor and good nature
prevailed and the addresses were all
enjoyed. None of the candidates
could do themselves Justice in forty
minutes speech nor have time to dis
cuss the issues before the people Of
Mississippi. However, it gave each
of them an opportunity to kinder, u.s.
ing race horse parlance, take the
others speed, and to prepare for the
coming political battle.
The good people of that community
are to be congratulated upon giving
the dinner and for the manner in
which all the details of the occasion
were handled.
