HEAVY FINES ARE MADE|
City Administration Turns in
$M5S-G0od Showing

The Sentinel extends congratula-
tionS to the city administration upon
the cash it mas placed in the city
treasury during it's incumbency. The
total fines imposed amount to S1158.
S474.50 was collected during the
month CT September. This is good
record and not only speaks well for
Mayor Tatum but is a most flattering
compliment to the police force of
Grenada. Mr.. Claude Hall, city
marshall, is terror to the lawbreak-
er. He has a most faithful helper in
Mr.. J. W. Martin, night policeman.
Mr.. Martin is not only brave and
fearless officer but he is skilled in the
detective line and his diligent work
has brought quite a number before
his honor, Mayor Tatum. Let the
good work continue. Every good
citizen should encourage these officers
in eheir diligence.

Industry and Thrift.

This country is not in need Of any
more polished heads and idle hands.
Its most crying need today is for
|Skilled workers, men and women who
care more to be useful than they do
to be ornamental; who can plow a
furrow, or shoe horse, better than
they can talk philosophy or plead at
the bar; who can make a loaf of
bread and broil steak better than
they can chatter French and embroid-
er pillow Shams. There is no use
talking, we cannot rise above the
stomach. We must live, and we must
eat to live, and somebody must do the
work that living demands. Those
people who will not lend a helping
hand, but willingly prey on their hard
working relations, are q disgrace to
modern civilizations. The truth is
we are too ambitious, too desirous for
easy places; we'll do the eating if
somebody else will do the cooking;
veil pay the bills. too, if somebody
else will earn the money; we can't do

resident of Grenada for the past two
years, informs The Sentinel that he
will soon move To Florida. He came
to Grenada as u representative Of the
Agricultural bureau to look after the
intensive farming movement in this
SectiUn and he has given such excel

manifested. No doubt much good Will

Charlie Williams Escapes.

Charlie Williams, the negro con.
nected at the August term OF circuit
court and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for life for the murder of his
wife, escaped few days ago from the
guards an the Parchman farm. This
was prophesied Of him by those who
knew him best here when he was
sentenced. Many entertained the
opinion that Charlie should have been
sent to the gallowS rather than to
the penitentiary.

The habit of treating those who are

courtesy and disregard, is one that
clouds the sunshine of too many
homes. When we learn to be polite,
not only as society people, but as hus-
bands and wives, sisters and brothers.

No home can be happy wherein sar-
castle speech and rude disregard for

....@On1e Cine,

Some time, when all fe's lessons have been learned
And and stars forevermore have set.
The things which weak judgments here have spurned
The things FER which grieved with lashes wet,
viii flash before us, out Of ife'S dark night,
AS stars shine most, in deeper tnts of blue,
And we shall see how all Gods plans right,
And how what seemed reproof was love most true.
And we shall see how, while frown and Sigh,
Gods plans 60 as best for you and me,
How, when called, he needed not our cry,
Because his wisdom to the end could see
And even as wise parents dSallOw
Too much of sweet to craving babyhood
So God perhaps has taken from you
Life's sweetest thing, because it seemeth good,
So, ifSometimes commingled with lfe'S wine,
We find the wormwood and rebel and shrink,
Be wiser hand than yours
POurs out this portion for our lips to drink,
And if the 'frend' we love is lying low
Where human kisses cannot reach his face
Try not to blame the loving Father 50,
Sufficient for thee is the Saviours grace,
And you shall shortly know that heightened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends his friend.
And that sometimes the sable pail of death
Conceals the fairest toon bis love can send
If we could push jar the gate OF life
And stand within and all Gods working see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find key,
But not today. Then be content, poor heart,
Gods plans like lilies pure and white unfold
We the close shut leaves apart,
Time will reveal che calyxes of gold
And when through patient toll we reach the land,
Where tired feet, with sandals loosed, may rest,
When shall clearly see and understand,
think that we will say, God knew the best'

everything; people succeed best In
pursuits congenial to them; we have
no taste for drudgery, therefore we
should not do it. This is about the
smart logic that is being practised to
the extinction of many a family.
Parents take the hard and give the
easy to their children. The mother
tends the kitchen and dairy, and the
daughters the parlor and school. This
it is thought will give them grace and
culture and fit them to adOrn the
high position they are expected to fill,
but rarely do. Let US think on these
things. and indelibly stamp it upon
our hearts, that no amount Of culture
and ease can make amends for the
lack OF industry and thrift.

WorId,s oldest Newapaper.

The announcement of the recent
celebration At Picking OF the one
thonsandth anniversary of the King.
Pan. the worlds oldest newspaper
is not to be taken too seriously.
That the small shee; so named is
of great antiquity is teyond dispute
although whether It's first publication
dates back to March, sos, as has Just
been alleged. is, TO say the least, cx-
tremely doubtful.

nous Chinese Classics could find
no traces of any newspapers what.
ever in the Celestial Kingdom prior
to 1850, when tho seat OF government
was transferred to Picking. And.

frequently for many years on end.
On the other hand, II Is known to
have been in existence in 1875, when
Jesuit missionaries from Rome first
arrived In the country, and this fact
alone would entitle il TO justify its
claim 10 be the oldest newspaper now
alive. seeing that the Gazette dc
France. which ranks next in point of
seniority, did not make its first ap.
pearancc until April, 1851.
Until lately, the English Mercurie
of which some copies dated 1888 are
in existence. was assumed 10 be the
Oldest English newspaper. But re.
cent researches have conclusiyely
proved these isolated sheets to he
clever iorgeries, executed about l7GG.
The first real newspaper published
in England was the Public Intelligen.
Ger, which commenced issuing in 1868,
and continued to be published regu-
larry for nearly three years. The
London Weekly Conrant. however,
appeared spasmodicaliy for a short
period so early as 1922
