TWO LETTERS RECEIVED.
One from Mr.. Keith, Husband
of the Woman Who Took
Her Own Life.

One of Grenada's most prominent
ago from Mr.. Keith. the husband of
the fallen woman VINO took her own
life in bawdy house here recently.
He said that he left his wife about
two years ago, after she had proven
false to her marriage VOWS. He is an
uneducated man, but his letter had
the ring Of an honest soul. That he
still had a tender feeling in his heart
for the unfortunate woman was
evidenced by the fact that he wanted
the particulars of her death and also
asked if she had left any photographs
of herself or any trinketS he
wanted something to. remember her
by.
Another letter, presumably from
the uncle Of Mrs. Keith, was also re-
ceived here few days ago. He, too,
wanted the particulars of the tragic
end of her who had dallied too long
on the primrose path of sin, the wages
Of which is death If it be true, as
has been reported, that her uncle did
refuse her help after she had sought
his aid and expressed desire to lead
a better life, he deserves as much
pity almost as did his niece. Poor
benighted soul! may God almisht in
his infinite mercy open his eyes,
touch his heart and lead him into the
paths that will ultimately bring him
to home beyond the skies. The
man who will not lend assistance to a
fallen woman when it is in his power
to do so, is not worthy to be called a
man.

Mischievous Work.

On Thursday afternoon some care
less boys did some miSchievOuS work
with Il target rifle which resulted in
the killing Of a fine one year old colt
belonging to Major B. f. Thomas.
The colt was in Maj. Thomas pasture
and several boys were seen there
Thursday evening with a target rifle
and short while thereafter the colt
was found dead with target rifle
bullet lodged in its spinal cord. 1t
is to be hoped that the killing of the
colt was accidental, However it too
frequently happens that indiscrimi-
nate shooting is done by a crowd OF
boys and that they are Indifferent as
to what they hit. The truth is rifle
shooting should be prohibited within
the corporate limits.

Sometime.

Sometime when all life's lessons have been
learned,
And the sun and stars forever-more have
set,
We shall see how all Gods plans were right.
And how what seemed reproof was love

"God is keeping from you now,
Lifes sweetest things because it seemeth'
best"
"If we could push aiar the gates OF life.
And stand within. and all Gods workings
see,
we could interpret all :his doubt and strife
And for each mystery End "A key;
But not yet you cannot see.
Then be content pOorsOrrOwing heart.
Gods plans like lilies pure and white. un-
fold;
We must not tear the close shut bars
apart
Time will reveal the calyXes of gold:'
God knows best" and someday shali

Easter Services.

Easter was appropriately observed
by the various churches Of the town
on last Sunday.
The sermon which we heard at the
Methodist church by the pastor, Rev.
J. K. Cunningham, was very fine in
deed. His presentation Of the resur-
rection and the endubitablc evidences
that those who die in the Lord shall
live again was very convincing and
reassuring to those who have loved
ones on the other shore.
Mr.. Cunningham is a very able
divine and never fails TO appeal to the
reason as well as to the best life Of
his congregations.

That Grenada is behind the spirit
of the age-that it is trifle slow in
the way of getting business enter
priSes to come here is fact and one
that believe everybody, who has
been around any, will admit. And it
is going to remain down close to the
bottom of the list Of live, wide-awake,
hustling Mississippi towns IL some
thing is not done to get it out Of it's
lethargic state. A number of towns
in the state, some of which were not
even on the map when Grenada was
a good size town, have OutStripped it
in the race of business progress.
Why has Grenada been SO slow?
Why has Grenada no more manufac-
tories? Why does it not offer more
encouragement to business propositions
that want to locate here? Why don't
it go after business enterprises and
get them, as other towns do? You
may think over these questions at
your leisure and answer them as you
see tit.

A certain lady gave her butcher an
order the other morning and an hour
or so later called him up and cancelled
a part of it. She said: You may
leave out the liver and | think l can
get along without the tongue" Be-
fore hanging up the receiver the lady
heard the butcher say to some one in
his shop: "She may not be able to
get along without a liver, but I'm
satisfied that she has tongue enough
to last her hundred years. " And
strange to say, the lady is now order
ing her meat from another butcher.

gradually to run behind i'm our phys
ical bank account. This proves
that sleeping is quite as important as
eating. The luxury Of sound sleep is
one OF the greatest means given to a
man or beast for restoring and 'nvigo-
rating the whole system. No one
should allow business or anything else
to curtail this luxury, and parents
should promote it in children, instead
of drumming them out Of bed early.

1t is strange how little it takes to
make some young fellows swell up
like poisoned rat and feel as i'm
portant as railroad president or a
Rockefeller. Sometimes clerk
ship with a $40 or $50 salary will do
the work, and then again it don't
take quite so much. Now and then
we see young fellow get inside a
pretty good suit of clothes and when
old Gold Bonds daughter allows him
to call a few times he imagineS he's
the only mollycoddle in town. Did
you ever know real sensible fellow
to get the big head? No! They are
not the kind that have that disease
