Hearty Notification.

calculation to the reality of a daily
practice. DR.. Leavitt, in a sentence
thinks optimism is the antidote for
the grip microbe."

THE FIRM CHANGES.
z. PressSrove Sells His interest in Tats
bert e. Cos.

Mr.. r. PreSSgrOve has disposed of
his interest in the firm of Talbert g.
Co., to John PreSSgrove who has been
! boOkkeeper and salesman for him
for several years.
The firm of Talbert & Co. has had
a most successful career and it is need
less to say that the business Of the
firm will continue to be conducted as
heretofore. MeSSrS. Jim and Robert
Talbert are both exceptionally fine
young men. They are gentlemen Of
not only splendid moral worth but OF
excellent business qualities and they
enjoy the confidence and esteem Of q
large circle Of friends.
Mr.. PresSgrove, who today enters
the firm with them, can be relied up
on for honesty, fair dealing and close
application to business. He is worthy
of the highest confidence, and the
association Of these three gentlemen
under the firm name of Talbert & Co.
makes a combination that is unex-
celled in the state.
In view Of the change in members
of the firm, they are putting Oh d
special sale, which is advertised in
The Sentinel of this week.

NOT EXACTLY CORRECT
Vas. The Sentineis Statement About Suits
vs. City.

The statement which appeared ir
The Sentinel last week relative tC
the two cases tried before Chancellol
Blount in which the city of Grenada
was party was not exactly correct as
to the Hughes case. The decree of the
court in that case wou2 appear to be
a throw down for the CITY. 1t seems
that The original ordec tor laying this
ak was not properly ent, red on the
Nj inu teS of the City Council. The de-
cree in the Barbee case, The Sentinel
is informed, was an unreSt rived one
and Mr.. Cowles Horton, the attorney,
seems to be perfectly satisfied with
the situation.
The Sentinel man sought Mr.. HOr-
on, whO has so successfully managed
uhese cases against the city, and pro-
pounded this query: 10 you take
he position that the city OF Grenada
has no right TO force the laying Of
,idewalkS?" His answer was, Il GER
ainly do not. 1t is we'll established
legal proposition that the city has a
right, but it muSt start right"
While Mr.. Horton was not talking for
publication, The Sentinel feels war
ranted in quoting the substance OF
what he said as given above. The
Sentinel man then referred to the
fact that the city was preparing to
require property owners to constrr ct
sidewalks on certain streets in the i'm
mediate future and ventured to in
quire of Mr.. Horton il he thought the
city was complying with all the legal
formalitiesin giving notice to prop
erty owners and ETC., and his answer
was that he Thought it was.
So from the lessons that the city
has just learned. it would appear that
property owners can have but little
hope OF the city's not meeting all
legal exactiOnS.

pearance, and when the plate glass
front is completed the new bank may
Justly feel pride in it's handsome
apartments.
The officers Of this new institution
need no introduction through the COL
umns Of The Sentinel. They are all
men OF splendid individuality, and
can be depended upon to execute any
trust committed to them wisely and
we'll.
The President, VIM. G. Mclean, IS
the only one who has had any previ-
Gus connection With any similar insti-
tuition, but it goes with any saying
that the cashier, 0. L. KimbrOugh.
and the vice president, j. II. Brown,
are both men of unusual adaptability
and they can be relied upon to do their
best with anything they undertake.
The directorate is composed of men of
good judgment, and they have had ex-
ceptional opportunity to know some
thing of tht financial stability Of the
citizenship of the surrounding coun-
try. a knowledge that should serve
them well in looking after the inter
est committed to their hands.
May the new bank meet with every
success il deserves, and may it be an
important factor in building up Gren-
ada and Grenada county, is no doubt
the wish Of ali good citizens.
