THINKS CITY A COMPETITOR
The Perry.Jones Co., Files lnjunc
ton Against City.

The Sentinel is informed that the
Perry Jones Co., plumbers and elec.
tricianS OF this city, through their
attorney, Hon. COwleS Horton, have
filed an injunction seeking to prevent
the city OF Grenada from wiring resi-
denceS and other houses and other
wise performing work which the
Perry-Jones Co., thinks brings the
city in competition with them. Their
position, as The Sentinel understands
it, is: That they are licensed to do
business in Grenada and that it is un-
fair and illegal for the city to issue
a privilege to some one else and then
to embark in the same business itself.
The position maintained by the city,
as The Sentinel understands is:
That it has felt lJ its duty to the tax
payers to secure the largest possible
number OF patrons of the water and
light plant and in order to do this,
the work had to te done at price
less than the Perry-JoneS Co., would
make.
The outcome of the litigation will
be watched with no little interest.

Little Things.

A goodbye kiss is a little thing;
with your hand on the door to go.
But it takes the venom out OF the sting
OF thOuRhtless word or u cruel fling
That you made an hour ago.
A kiss Of greeting is sweet and rare
After the toll of the day:
And it snOoths the burrows plOwed by
care,
The lines on the forehead you once called
fair
In the years that have flown away.
'Tis little thing to say, You are kind:
love you, my dear" each night;
But it sends a thrill thrO' the heart, find
For Love is tender and Love is blind
AS we climb LIES rugged height
We starve each other for loves caress;
We take, but we do not give;
1t seems so easy some soul to bless,
But we dole the love grudgingly, less and
less,i
Till It's bitter and hard to live

by Jackson business men to make the
Fair better, and give to the public the
very highest class Of entertainment.
New buildings have been erected
for this seasons show. A large and
cOmmod!ouS structure has been made
and equipped for the poultry show.
This will be one of the finest shows of
its kind ever held in the conntry.
THE impetus, this Fair has given
to corn growing in the State, by it's
corn-growing contest, and Boys Corn
Clubs has more than paid back in
material worth all the Fair has cost
and all the work that has been done,
to say nothing of the poultry, stock,
floral culture. art, ladies' depart
ments, and general diversified crops.
It has become an educational institu-
tion Of greatest value and its success
and permanency is assured During

The company issued its first policy
on the oath of last January, and DOW
has 5000, 503 of insurance in force; its
premium receipts to date are S22, 115-
"a and our premium receipts average
over 50, 900 week.
Our premium receipts since Sept.
1st, only four weeks ago. amount to
sS,2O1.l9. We expect by January
lst to reach the $50, 900 mark.
This astonishing success has natur-
ally aroused the insurance trust,
which has had Mississippi by the
throat for so long time, and the
agents of the trust are doing all in
their power to break us down, but
their efforts will be Of no avail among
sensible people. The farmers of the
State are aroused against all the
trusts, and when they realize the
magnitude of the insurance trust they
will loathe it as they do others. Dur
ing the year 1907, as shown by the
official report of the Insurance Com
missioner, S2,SO9,27S were paid for
fire insurance premiums by ihe peo-
pie OF Mississippi, and OF this amount
1913, 1923 came back to the state for
fire losses, leaving the magnificent
sum If 81, 432, 454 to be paid for ex-
pense S, and for commissions to agents.
and for profits to stockholders. No
wonder the old line companies are
aroused and try to break down and
discredit a company that dares 10
stand up against them.
The Farmers Mutual Fire 1nsur-
ance Co., is the only distinctively farm
insurance company in the State. 1t
| is not an assessment company, like
those formerly IN the State that fail
ed. We collect the same amount OF
premiums in advance that the stock
companies do, and if they can pay all
their losses and have u million dollars
| profit in the State during one year,
there is no reason why we cancOt
| make a succesS-AND WE WILL.
The only difference between the old
line companies and ours is that they
send their profits to stockholders liv-
| ing out Of the State, while we return
our profits to our policy holders, thus
giving them cheaper insurance. Our
proposal to give cheaper insurance is
what arouses the trust against us.
| Now a word as to our reliability
After paying expenses and agents
commissions, we have about SIS, ,O0e
| in assets, and besides this we have ar
emergency found of $1,000 subscribed
for the payment OF losses. So far We
have had four fire losses. Two o1
them have been adjusted and paid
while the other two are so recent that
we have not had time. iBut they will
be adjusted and paid quicker than
would be done by the old line COM
panies.
Some of the best men in the State
are connected with the company, as
are also Henry s. Dean, OF Memphis,
two of the most successful insurance
men in the South. Their advice and
experience have been invaluable.
We coart investigation, and we as
sure the farmers of the State that II
/ they will stand by US and give us their

ARIZONA CRIES IN VAIN.
The House Does Not Hear Delegate
Smiths Cali for Money.

The cry Of Arizona for better treatment
at the hands Of the Federal government
vss heard In the House yesterday when
the legislative appropriation bill was un-
der consideration. Delegate Smith, of Giat
Territory, sought to have the salaries Of
the Territorial judges increased from s., ,O00
10 5000 a year. Their remuneration now
was 60 meager. he said. that they had to
accept contributions.
Contributions? Contributions from
whom?" Shouted John Wesley Gaines and
half a dozen other members, scenting
scandal graft and the bribery Of the
bench.
Mr.. Smith explained that the super
visOrs Of the various counties voted the
Judges additional compensation He did
ot think it was legal, and admitted that
.Iere was no authority for 1t. but it was
e necessary procedure, he declared.
Representative Mann took up the cause
OF the judges for Mr. Smith and asserted
that New Mexico and Hawaii were better
treated than Arizona II these Territories
be said. the Fedenal government paid for
telephones and ice water for the legisla-
tors, and these privileges, he said, were
denied Arizona.
we don't drink ice water in Arizona. +"
exclaimed Mr. Smith, "and you can cut
out the telephone service for us; but we
would like a boost in salaries for our
Judges"
His proposition. however, was not ac-
septed By the committee
