IS INTERESTED IN GRENADA,
Memphis Citizen Shares In the
Hope for Government Aid
to Make River NavisabIe.

That splendid young gentleman
Mr.. Richard Henry Lake, Of Mena
phiS, has taken note Of the prOpOSi
tiOn to make YalObuSha river a navi
gable stream and writes encouraging
| ly of it. Grenada duly appreciates fai:
interest in her affairs and thanks him
for his suggestion. The following is a
copy of Mr.. Lakes letter to the edi.
tor of The Sentinel touching the prop
osition to get federal aid to make Yal-
obuSha river navigable:
Your editorial in last weeks Senti-
mel in regard to cleaning out the river
at Grenada, and making it possible
for the old town to get river rates.
seemed TO me to be move in the
right direction.
Now it seems that Grenada ought
to be considered a river town, and
taking this view Of it, is entitled to
have three delegates to the great Wa
te:ways Convention, which will be
held in Memphis October 4Uh and 9TH.
You have probably already seen a
great deal in the papers about this.
Not only will the President Of the
United States be here, having made
the trip from st. Louis to Memphis
by river, but large number of gov
ernors, senator's, congressman and 9th
er distinguished citizens from all OF
the great central portion of the Unit
ed States will be here as visitors and
delegates.

| could easily dream of the day when
the old town would be great huS-

A Pair Of School Mann as.

j Bypaths that stray off into un
jkown green mazes are always allur-
ing: this path was the more tempting
because its course was along the banl
OF a mountain brook that seemed tt
run ahead and laughingly call on yor
to follow. Obeying its call led me in
to a pleasant wildermatter in tht
brain oftwo races and yellow flowers.
Half amile away rose nest Of trees
and grass overtopped by Ridge ant
through the stiffness OF the summer
morning came the mellOwed roar Of
the river, that tumbled over rocky
precipice not far distant.
Token Of human dominion there
was none, until turn Of the path and
the brook brought in sight small
weather-stained cottage so covered
with vines and surrounded by trees
, that 1T seemed almost a part Of the
: wild nature about it. On the porch
was young woman nursing a baby,
and on the top step sat two little girls,
one engaged in plating the yellow
hair of the other. Some books and a
slate lay beside them, and the shining
hair-plait had been tied by 4 bit of
blue ribbon, the elder sister said: Put
on your bonnet, Annie, and let's go.

go with them to the school house they
seemed we'll pleased. The older one
led the way; her sister tripped at my
side.
On arriving at the SchOOlhOuSe |
found that it was also a church. A

forwards that she was thirteen and
her sister, the cO-teacher, was two
years Younger. Purely through de-
sire to help the neglected children IN
the mountains, did these two little
girl -scions Of one Of the most diStin
guiShed families in the State--walk
mile # rocky road and teach all the
summer mOrnlng-every day OF their
precious vacation.
The manner Of these child teachers
was perfect. 1t showed no posing,
self-cOnSciOuSneSS or cOndeSce1SlOn-
only sweet friendiinesS mixed with
gentle dignity that inspired respect
and affection in their pupils, some CT
whom were older than themselves. -

The sudden fall in the price Of cot
ton has checked the marketing of the
staple. Farmers are holding back
their crops all over the cotton belt.
This is the right thing to do and we
are glad that the farmers are able to
do it. There was really no good rea-
son for this slump in prices, and un-
der proper management by the far
mers, prices must recover. The fight
is on again between the spectators
and the producers, and the latter will
win as they did last year.-Wood-

The Habit of Buying at TaIbzrts

Is a good habit. 1t is a rapidly grow
ing habit with all Grenada. 1t is
habit by which hundreds save iE tiieS-
daily, monthly and yearly expeudy-
lures. 1t is a habit that becomes
more fixed the oft0ner people buy
there. The reason is satisfaction.
People are satisfied with TaIbert8
merchandise. People ore satisfied wit.a
Talbert's prices. People are salts
fed with the ways Of the store-its
manners and methods.

MRS. J. J. HORTON DEAD.


Mrs. Stella Duke Horton, wife OF
J. j. Horton, passed away at her
home in this city at 5:45 O'Clock Mon
day evening, September %, after an
illness Of several weeks. Mrs. Hor-
ton was born at Scoby, Miss, little
more than thirty years ago. She had
been a resident Of Grenada about six
years since which time she had made
host Of friends. She was member
of the Baptist church and a woman
of true nobility Of CHI racter. Her
demise leaves another home in sadness,
four little children, the eldest Of
whom is six years OF age and the
youngest an infant Of only two
months, without a mother and leaves
vacant a place that can never be
filed. Death has fallen with a heavy
hand upon Grenada mothers during
the patti twelve months, but their go
ing away can but make the pathway
brighter to the heavenly world to
their bereft ones.
Mrs. Horizons S remains were laid to
rest in odd Fellows cemetery on
Wednesday afternoon, the funeral SER
Vices being conducted by Rev. n. w.
p. Bacon of the first Baptist church.
