Judge COWles Horton

The name which appears at the head
Il this article was named by Gov. Noel
as special Judge to try case at Wi
mona last week between the town and
the Water & Light Co., in which Judge
Mclean was disqualified. The litigation
involved many intricate questions of
law but Mr.. Horton handled every one
that came up with the ease of an ex-
perienced Judge. He showed marked
familiarity with the various legal points
made by the attorneys and the Sentinel
is advised that he was highly compli-
mented by the bar. The attorneys en-
gagged in the case were Gen. Monroe
McClurg, Vernon Rowe, Hon. w. S.
Hill and w. T. Knox.
Mr.. Horton, though young, has made
an enviable record and has met marked
success as lawyer He is also a good

A new PRESIDENT
WAS ELECTED
By Trustees of Grenada
C0ileee Place Ten
dered ind .Accepted by
ReU. y. X. COUntiSs.

On last Saturday, the board of
trustees of Grenada College, elected
Rev. J. r. Col;htiss, now pastor of
the Methodist church at Aberdeen,
to succeed President w. l.. Clifton, re-
Gently resigned. There were ten men,
bers of the board present and the ses-
sion was a most harm )nious one.
While the board had many applicants
for the place, Mr.. Countiss was not
one of them and the place was tend
cred him upon the unanimous vote OF
the board. Mr. Clifton and Mr.. Count
iss are warm personal friends and the
former had no li.tie TO do with the Sc
lection Of his successor.
Mr.. Countess has accepted the place
and it pieaSes the Sentinel to
state that his election meets with the
universal approval IN Grenada and it is
believed that he is just the man to car
ry on the splendid work Of the college.
He is very popular in the North Missis-
sippi conference and is regarded as one
of the intellectual lights OF the church.
Mr.. Countiss was in charge of the
church here for a few months, having
been appointed to fill out the time of
Rev. j. M. Wyatt. Almost all the old
faculty were reelected. There ara but
two or three places yet to be filed.

renee. Struck out by Peterson: II: by
Lawrence 8. Umpire Guy Hester.
Prof. Hall and Miss Pate represented
the faculty. Miss Pate was coach for
the Grenada baskst ball girls and in this
as well as everything else she under
takes, she is very proficient and proved
herself to be one of the most expert
coaches on the field. 80 d
Miss Mary Belle Brown of the tenth
grade, was the Grenada representative
in the oratorical contest. She has never
devoted any special attention to express
sion but, is noted for her proficiency
and for thorough preparation of every
recitation. This fact perhaps account
ed for her being chosen by the school
to represent them in this contest. She
met every expectation. Her subject
was "a Trying Situation. Her compo-
sure was perfect. She was thorouhly
engrossed in her task, and made a very
bewitching picture as she ascended the
stage and faced an expectant audience.
She did well and but for an unlocked
for confusion that occurred in the audi
ence and be it said to her credit did not
disturb her IN the least, she would un-
1Oubtedly have been awarded the med
al. The confusion prevented the Judges
from hearing her.
Grenada students were delighted with
he day and the many hospitalities ex-
ended them by the Winonaites.

TEACHERS ELECTED.
-
Schsd Beasd Elects Subordinate Teach
ers-One Place to Be Filled

The board of trustees Of the city
schools met Tuesday afternoon and re-
elected al the present subordinate
teachers with the exception of Miss
Annie Mayhew, who was not an ap-
plicant- only conditionally.. Miss Alice
johnson was elected to do the High
School work, hence there is place yet
to be filledin the Grammar scho0l.
The unanimous reelection of all, the
teachers is somewhat unusual and is a
high compliment to the entire faculty.
In making application all the teachers
stated that it was their intention to
teach through the entire session of 1910
1911 and if circumstances made it neces-
sary for them to resign they are to give
the trustees thirty days notice.
The Sentinel is advised that Prof.
Hall commended Miss Mayhew's work
very highly which endorsement is
shgred in by the board of trustees.
She has been connected with the
school about six years and sincere re-
gret is felt at her severing her connec-
ton with the school. The teachers
elected are:
Misses Rebecca and Louise Reid,
Tyna Pate, Alice Johnson, Carolyn
Whitson, Lizzie Horn, Mary Moody,
Stella Robertson and Mrs. Blanche
Shue. Miss Elvir Winter was elected

Did the Cold Kill Your Cotton?

If you should have 20 plant

not plant Hardin cotton. 1t is
an early maturing variety, and
will make a full crop in a short
time We know this for we have
raised a crop of it; planted on
the Sth of June, and got better
results than we anticipated.
We still have few bushels of

WINTER DISPUTES
WITH SPRING.
Sno1O Sunday Night, II
Beautiful Scene. II
Temperature Of So
TerU Rare in .ADviL.

Winter tread upon the toes Of Spring
last Sunday night. 1t seemed loath to
relinqish its title to the season and to
be trying to reclaim some of the mo-
ments devoted to the lovely days of
March. The cold of the day before
was intensified. Sunday the wind in
creased its velocity and the icices dis
turbed by Cook and Peary appeared to
be pouring their wrath upon this great
country of ours. Late Sunday after
noon it sleeted heavily. Monday morn
ing the scene was most beautiful one;
the top of all buildings was white with
snow. The snow was Sdecked about in
the tops of the trees and on the rose
bushes, and it was sight for
the artists eye. The brush Sof the
most skilled painter could not have
done the picture justice. The thsr-
mometer at daylight registered 35 de-
grees, The mercury began to rise at
the advent Of the King of day and
while he did not show his face. he
!vanquishsd the snow by 9 o'clock. The
cold wave was genera. throughout the
country. In the north and west it was
severe and much damage is said to have
been done both to the fruit and early
;egetation. In this immediate vicnit !
it is doubtful if anything was killed hy
the cold and frost. Certainly vegetation
just out of the ground was injured.
Many citizens recall having seen snow
before in April, but cold spell to COM
pare with the recent one is remember
ed by but few. Mr. w. H. Johnson,
of this city, tells the Sentinel that in
lS49 there was big frost and freeze
on the night of the oath of April that
very nearly killed all growing crops.

Judge I. T.. Is.Ount d.

While in Grenada last week Chancel-

office with a call and ordered the paper
to be sent to his address for twelve
months. Judge Blount has favorably i'm
pressed the bar of Grenada
and those who have had any dealings
with his court since he went on the
bench. Certainly it has been his pur-
pose to arrive at correct legal conclus-
ions and to make an impartial Judge.
These two elements go far towards
making the record of an officer worthy
Of commendation. The Judge is gen
