GREWSOME TRAGEDY
IN CALIFORNIA HOME

POINT RICMOND, August 9.-After
drowning her two children in a bath
tub in her home, Mrs John Westman
hanged herself in the bathroom by the
side of her dead children. No cause is
known for the horrible tragedy and the
only theory is that she was insane.
When the bodies were found the two
children were dead in the bathtub, and
their mother was hanging, dead, in the
same room.

Mr.. H. j. Staten of the Oxberry
community, desires to be the next
sheriff of Grenada county,,and authorizes
the Sentinel tolplace his name before
the electorate of the county as a candi-
date for that offiee. He comes of
sturdy stock and though quite young
man, he has demonstrated that he
possesses the elements of the RESPONSE
BILE citizen and successful business man.
He is honest, capable and sincere. He
has the industry and the energy to
make good sheriff and promises the
people, if elected, faithful, efficient
and satisfactory discharge of the duties
of the office. The Sentinel feels war
ranted m saying that Mr.. Staten, if
successful in his ambition, will obey
the mandate of the law and that the
most exacting will never find cause to
accuse him of slackness in the appre-
hension of the evil doer
Mr.. Staten stands we'll at home, is of
a jolly jovial nature AMI may be ex-
pected to give good account of him.
self in the coming campaign. In due
time, he will doubtless visit all por-
tions of the county.

The Grenada Fair threw open its
gates last Tuesday morning. The frs
day wasla decided success. The details
of every department were never more
carefully arranged and every feature
of the program worked smoothly. Al
OF which is no small tribute to the wise
direction of President Barbee and his
corps of assistants.
Every department is full of exhibits.
In a special way this is true of the ag-
ricultural exhibits. The fine corn, the
large stalks of sugar cane, the big
pumpkins, we'll boiled cotton stalks, the
immense potatoes, are all a splendid
attest of good farming and speak
words of encouragement to those who
diversity their their crops and get
away from the serfdom of all cotton.
Special mention is due the exhibit of
County Superintendent James Corn
Club. The members of the Club here
undoubtedly pursued improved methods
in the culture of their crops as is
abundantly shown by the products ex-
hibited.
There is a splendid showing in the
live stock department. This section
has. for long while prided itself on its
breeding of fine cattle and good horses.
The exhibits show the fruits of pains
taking efforts and wisely directed ener-
gies. Certainly there are some of the
finest milch cows shown at the Grenada
fair this season that stockmen ever
saw in Mississippi. The beautiful
fast and pretty horses especially please
the minds and tastes of stock raisers
in the fair district.
The poultry exhibit is large. There
are more than a dozen varieties by as
many different breeders This is an
industry that has only been given sec
ondary thought in this section but it is
growing. When one stops to think that
the value of eggs sold in the United
States exceeds the value of the cotton
crop, the Importance of caring for the
chickens and improving their breeds
dawns upon the mind with unusual
force. The aggregated value of eggs
emphasizes the lesson of caring for
the little things. The poultry exhibit
contains some fine specimens as can be
seen anywhere and anyone interested
in poultry breeding would do well to
confer with someone who is showiag a
breed at this Fair.
The ladies' department presents a
very attractive appearance and shows
that culinary work is still very promi-
nent and important feature in the home
life of the good ladies in this section.

.B|LB0 HAS COME
AND GONE.
Did Not Draw Expected Crowd.
He Makes Many Alles lions.

I State Senator Theo. G. Bilbo spoke
in the court house yard at Grenada
Tuesday. He was introduced by Hon.
S. A. Morrison. The senator made
about the same speech that he has
made at other points, which consists Of
a ridicuie of Gov. Noel, villifcation of
Senator Percy and general lambast-
ing of everybody connected with the
recent legislature that opposed Gov.
Vardaman' nomination to the senate
He talked of whiskey and women and
made it evident that he thought that
there was much debauchery, lascivious-
ness and immortality among the men,
bers of the legislature, especially
among those that Opposed Vardaman.
He was persuasive and plausible and
tells connected story. AS a
crowd -getter he failed at Grenada.
Notwithstanding his coming was we'll
advertised by posters scattered broad
cast, as we'll as through the newspa-
pers, the usual first day crowd at the
Fair was not exceeded. There were
about $50 votes in the court house
yard to hear his speech and more than
half of these were not citizens of Gre
NADIA county. Scarcely more than half
the seats provided were filed. Gre
NADIA is noted for giving every
man courteous hearing. This
is always done here regardless of
political allignments. There are num-
bers Of supporters Of Gov. Vardaman
in the county that have serious mis-
givings regarding Blbo, yet these, as
almost all other citizens, thought that
Bilbo should have that due any speak
er. If the sympathizers with the pur-
poses of his campaign in this county
are satisfied with the result of the day,
certainly those not in harmnny with
him have no cause to regret Bilbo's
coming.
Bilbo grows awfully brave in some of
his denunciatory statements. This is
Is no trouble to understand. Even a
negro, when backed by good white peo-
pie, will indulge in bravado towards rep
utable citizens.
That Bilbo pleased many was evil
denced by the frequent outbursts of ap-
plause given him. His satirical thrusts
at Gov. Noel seemed to excite the risi-
bilities Of his audience more than any
thing else.
The Sentinel does not believe that
he changed any of the senatorial al
lignments by his visit. 1t is the opin-
ion Of he writer that much of what he
said about the immoral conduct of leg
islators is true. 1t is to be deplored
that such a charge can frequently justly
be lodged against some men when thes
are away from home. This will apply
to some who voted for all the senatori-
al candidates. The fact, however, that
this is true, does not give Biloo clean
bill of health. He has been no doubt
charged with many things that are un-
true and he has undoubtedly charged
others with many hings that are un-
true.
He is pleasing but not a forceful
speaker and is somewhat younger in
appearance than is generally expected.

Case Drags Along With Decreasing
Interest.
This morning Prof. Jones, OF the
chemical department of the Idaho
university, was placed on the stand
on his fourth day of eross-examlna-
tioRs as the government soil expert OF
the lands in controversy In the Wash
ington Water Power hearing.
Aside from a number OF eorrec-
tions ms2e. the only important point
developed was on the amount Of or
ganic matter in samples Is. 80. 80
and 81. taken ON the big meadow.
Analysis OF these samples taken sep
arately showed $3.50 per cent, s3.4s
per cent, 1903 per cent and 24s1
per cent OF organic matter respec-
lively, averaging 2s45 per cent. bat
when these samples were mixed and
analysed the presence OF organic
matter was shown to be $500 per
cent.
This discrepancy. the professor ex-
planned away by stating that silt il
not a homogeneous mass and that
an analysis OF 10 grams Of each sam
pie mixed would differ in results
from another analysis OF same guam
titles taken from the same samples.
