The Hester School.

The Hester School is destined to play
an important part in the future of
Grenada. 1t fills niche here that the
public will appreciate more and more
as the days go by.
Besides being place for mental
training and development, such school
can take the overflow at the public
school The boy, too, that seems to be
out of harmony with the public school
faculty, and such a condition some
times exists with the best Of ooy 5. can
be Accommodated at a private school,
such as Mr.. Hester has established,
when otherwise his parents would be
compelled to send him to a boarding
school. There is everything to appeal
to the pride and manliness of boy in
such an institution.
Prof. R. H. Hester, who is the head
of the school and the sole instructor, is
a gentleman of splendid educational at
tainments. He is polished and persua-
sive and capable of appealing to that
which is best in any boy.
In view OF these considerations, the
Sentinel takes pleasure in commencing
the school and congratulating Mr..
Hester on his splendid success for this,
the first season.

OUR PRIZE CONTEST


During the last four days the vote
has begun to pile up for the PRIZES
IN OUR $435 CONTEST. Many in
quiries continue to come to us about
the details of the contest all of which
we gladly answer.
Already there are eight contestants
entered. Quite a number more are
considering entering, thus in few
weeks, the Sentinel readers may ex-
pect to see list of more than twenty
contestants for these valuable prizes.
Almost any young lady among the
SentinePs readers could afford to put
in no little time this year for either the
first or second prize. Just think of the
$3.50 DIAMOND RING. How beauti-
full it is, and how any lady prizes one.
OF course you want DIAMOND
RING. Nothing that is worth having
can be obtained without effort and per-
sistency. These prizes are going to be
won by those that work for them.
Suppose you get one of the Business
College scholarships, if you do not wish
TO use it, it is worth its face value IN
CASH. The drill obtained in busi-
ness way from a trial will be invaluable
to any lady who must know something
about the business world. Acquaint
yourself with the plan and get busy.

A Dead Mans Dump
The point at which the wreck occurr-
e6 is known and has been known from
time inmemorial as Dead Mans
Dump" being just at a slight curve
through the hills and at the commence
ment of down grade 1t is generally
at this point that the trains attain full
headway.
The rear coaches and sleepers in
which the passengers were travelling
escaped serious injury and were only
partially G,erailed, which accounts for
the comparatively light casualty list.
As it was the damage was great, as
every particle of mail, express matter
and practically all the baggage was
caught in the flaming coaches and from
which it was impossible to extricate
anything, and the only thing to be done
was to hurry on the work Of removing
the cars still on the rails back from the
burning portion Of the train.
