A Carload of Home.2aised Mules
Sold by R. W. Jones to Delta Planter.

Mr.. Sci Jones, of Black Bayou pur'
chased car load of mules and a sad,
die horse In Grenada this week of Mr..
r. w. Jones. The stock was raised
by Mr.. Jones on one Of his plantations
six miles west Of Grenada and they
will class up in size and in appearance
with the best mules shipped to this
market. Mr.. Jones is stock raiser
and raises all the mules that he uses
on his several plantations. He en-.
deavors to improve the breeds OF both
horses and mules and is the owner OF
as fine mules as any plantation ever
needs.
Mr.. G. G. Penn is anothir stock
raiser in the county and two of his
mules were included in the carload
sold to the Black Bayou planter.
What Mr.. Jones is doing should be
done by every farmer in the county
and indeed throughout the state. 1,
does appear to be a foolish piece OF
business for our people to import their
mules, much of their corn and large
per cent of their meat. Mr.. jones
informs The Sentinel that he raises
his mules at a small outlay Of money
and that the raising of them does not
materially increase the labor and gen
eral supervision incident to planta'
tiOn work.

A new servant girl, in the employ
of one of the prominent families of
Grenada, caused the family any
amount of uneasiness the other day.
She was sent out to buy some mater
ials to make a fig cake for birthday
dinner. The task Of making the cake
was given to the girl, and of course,
she wanted to make an impression
with her first cake. Without telling
her mistress what she intended to do,
the girl went out and purchased some
syrup of figs. She had an idea that
the syrup would flavor the cake. All
the members of the family partook OF
the cake, and all pronounced 1t very
good. An hour later, in the language
of the slang artist, there was some
thin doin'" and the result can bet.
ter be imagined than described, and
it is safe to say that the girl will not
be intruSted with the making OF any
more fig cake fore some time to come

Attention is directed to the letter OF
the Waller s. Spies Milling Company,
of Marine, Ill.,, to Mr.. A. T. McEl-
wrath, their salesman in this terri
tory, published elsewhere in this is
sue of The Sentinel. The letter is
certainly fine testimonial as to Mr..
McElwrath' s success as a salesman
and shows that Dainty Flour" is
equal to the best -four on the market
or its sales would not increase year
after year. 4247 barrels in Grenada
county for the year 1907 is some
thing that Mr.. McElwrath should feel
proud of and indeed is doubtless a
volume of business not equaled by the
product of any other Touring mill
which makes sales in the state. 4O,.
600 barrels in North Mississippi and
mot a single complaint" should be
a guarantee sufficient to satisfy any
purchaser. Dainty -four is handled
in Grenada by the Grenada Mercan-
tile Company and good biscuits and
pleasant smiles go with all who use it.
Try a barrel.

4 young woman in another state
disguised herself as man and
clerked in store for year and then
applied for membership in the Knights
of Pythias and was initiated. Doing
the work of the third degree her sex
was discovered. 1t seems that in the
third degree they have an India rub
Der rat and celluloid snake, which run
by clock work on the inside, and were
very natural indeed. The idea is to
let them run at the candidate to see
il he will finch. When the snake
ran at the girl she kept her nerve all
right, but when the rat tried to run
up her trouser leg she grabbed her
imaginary skirts in both hands and
jumpted into refrigerator that was
standing near (which Is used in the
fourth degree) and screamed murder.
The girl is a member of the order and
there is ne help for it. This may
open the eyes of members of secret
societies and cause them to investi-
gate. The Grenada lodge, we under
stand, takes precautions against the
admission of woman by carefully
examining the feet Of the applicant.
If the feet are col@ enough to freeze
ice cream the candidate is blackballed

In the Circuit Court.

Circuit Court convened Monday
with Judge J. T. Dunn on the bench
and District Attorney T. L. Lamb
looking after the states'S interest.
Judge Dunn gave an extended charge
to the grand jury. He reviewed the
statutes concerning various crimes
and was especially impressive with his
remarks about the perjurer and the
seeds of disaster to good order and
society Sown by failure to tell the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth in court. Mr.. Lamb,
the District Attorney. is very earnest
in his efforts and his work throughout
the district is highly commended.
The court stenographer, Mr. A. T.
Patterson, is as gracious and obliging
as ever 0and is always given a glad
welcome in Grenada.
Up to Friday morning the grand
jury had returned six true bills, three
of which were against one party.
Court will probably be in session for
a day or two next week.

Talks Of Politics and Other Things.

Hon. w. S. Hill, the able represen-
tative in Congress from this district,
was in Grenada this week looking
after some matters before the circuit
court.
Mr.. Hill seemed to be enjoying the
best of health. He is very optimistic
about the prospects of democratic
success in the presidential election
this year. He says the democrats
will nominate Bryan and he thinks
Taft, now secretary of war, will be
pitted against him by the republicans.
Discussing the bill introduced by
him to have a survey made of the
Yalobusha river with the view of
getting federal appropriation for the
purpose of making it navigable for
steam poats, he expressed himself as
very hopeful of its passage and stated
that the latest tips given out at
Washington were that rivers and
harborS bill would be passed at this
session Of congress.
Answering the inquiry as to his
candidacy for reelection, he said he
would make formal announcement
sometime later. He said that he was
deeply sensible of the confidence mani
tested in him by the people of his
district in the past and that whatever
the future of politics might hold in
store for him, he felt that the debt
of gratitude he owed his constituency
could never be discharged.

A Box for Local Items.

In order that we might gather up
AID publish every item of local or
social nature, we decided to place a
bcx in one of the stores of Grenada
where parties who prefer not to use
the telephone can drop note of in
formation about such things. Mr.. r.
Pressgrove kindly consented for us to
place the receiving box in his store
and we would esteem it special fav-
or il our friends and subscribers
would write the names of their visi.
tors, or any other item. on a slip of
paper and sign their names to it and
push it through the hole in the door
into the little box above referred to.
We can not publish anonymous items
and would suggest that just brief
statement like the following:
"Mr. aud Mrs. John Smith, OF
Smithville, Miss, visited Mr.. and
Mrs. John Jones this week"
