OUR CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR
HON.. CARL BREWER
s. ccouo Street Ugain.

HE town is bound togcther by a community OF interests
&@ The act of one citizen affects, to a greater or less de-
- gree. every other citizen. We are taught that gov
- crnments. in this country, are operated for the greatest
good TO the greatest number. What one neighborhood may want,
should, of course, be considered, but not without regard to how it
will affect others. What may be done on a certain street might be
all right to those residing in proximity thereto. But we respectful
" submit that it has not beef. the policy of this administration to
direct its ficial action by the wishes of the residents of particular
streets. When it comes to dealing with those streets had the board
followed this rule, it is wellknown that a number Of streets would
not have been made wider and many shade trees would not have
been r~uthlesslv slaughtered. The board has mapped out and pur-
sued a policy, as they claimed, TO-. the general betternent OF the
town. Now the question of opening Second street is uppermost IN
the minds of the Grenada public. Some say it should be opened,
others, whose voices and conduct have been equanya as potent IN
giving life and vitality to the town, oppose the opening OF the
street. Where a community is thus divided it is the duty of public
officials to weigh considerations and then determine their action by
the manner in which said action is viewed by the community at
large. We have never yet been in favor OF putting the oonar
above the man or trampling upon the feelings or the rights OF
any individual, no matter how humble a place he may occupy. We
insist that the rights and interests of individual citizens are not IN
VOWED in this matter for the reasont that the proposed action or the
the council will give no individual employment; it will not soften
the lines in any mans pathway nor will it put dollars in any mans
pocket. Then with the question of the individual out of the way,
we find that the interests and enterprises in the community which are
the largest contributors to the public treasury, are against the open
ing of the street. We are supposed to havea business administra-
ton. We do not believe the council would deliberately take any
action that they believed to be detrimental to the town. These
matters, pertaining to the opening of this street, which we have here
alluded to, we dare say, have been revolving themselves in the
minds of the council. We believe that we are safe in saying that
the council is not as certain about the effects on the business inter-
est Of the town as it is about its desire to do that which is best for
the town. In this situation, it occurs to US, it would be the proper
thing to resolve the doubt in favor of the general welfare of the
community and let we'll enough alone. Put off the opening for at
least for one year.

Last Summons Comes to l.. G.
Dubard

1t an early hour last Sunday night
Mr.. L. C. Dubard answered his last
earthly summons and his spirit went
to join that of his wife who passed
over that river only a few uays before.
He was in his seventy-first year. He
was born and reared not a great way
from Grenada and spent his life among
the people where he died. He was a
man of honest purposes and good in
tentions. He had been a member of
the Methodist church for years and had
endeavored to live up to his profess
ions. He was industrious and always
led an active, outdoor life. 1t is not
saying too much to express the belief
that when the Great Judge balances up
the good and the bad in his life he will
be given the reward promised the
faithful.
Fof perhaps twelve years he was in
the employ Of the city of Grenada eth
err as marshal or street commissioner.
His continued service is good evidence
that he met well the duties imposed
| upon him.
The funeral services wereI conducted
from the family residence ny his pas
por, Rev w. w. Mitchell of the Meth
odist church, on Monday afternoon,
after which the remains were carried
to East Cemetery for interrment. His
Confederate comrades acted as pal
bearers.
Besides three sons he is survived by
! two brothers and other relatives. The
Sentinel offers coincidence to the sor
rowing ones.
