some NEW Citizens
Northwest Farmers are
Coming.

In behalf Of the City Of Grenada ana
Grenada county he Sentinel extends q
most cordial welcome to Messrs. 2. A.
Tarr and Henry Divine who, within a
few weeks, vii! move to this county
from Deepwater, No. They have pur-
chased a part Of the Mister place, eight
miles North of Grenada, from Messrs.
Jelly & Cooper. The Sentinel hopes
that this is but the beginning of what
the county may expect a great deal OF
within the next few years. There are
but few things that will more greatly
~simplifv the financial problems OF this
people and that will add more to the
tranquility and general sgood Of the
county than the location OF good white
farmers from the Northwest in this
county. Five hundred such families
here will touch a spark Of regeneration
and enthusiasm that will transform
Grenada county into a blooming garden
and put the people in the gateway OF
success. The county needs Just such
citizens and tho Sentinel knows that
with the industry and energy Of the
Northwest applied here that dollars
will be made here where quarters are
made up there.
Land is cheaper and the soil is bet
ter. More different crops can.be rails
ed and there is everything to induce
the farmers of the Northwest TO come
to Grenada county. Let The people
here see that these new citizens have
every courtesy and attention. The
Sentinel feels sure that this will be
done anyway. The Southern heart is
by nature social and quickly warns tc
responsive individuals.
Grenada county has good schools.
The church is within easy reach of ev-
cry community and there is no gooc
reason why every delight of a country
home should not be enjoyed by the cit
izens Of the county.

Well Worth the Effort.

The rind Is bitter but the core is
sweet. The memorizing of Latin
grammar and the thumbing of Latin
dictionary are the rind. The riches of
a great literature are the core. The
irksome tasks of the school boy and
the collegian are the small price he
pays for something that can be the
recreation of his mature years, the
constant companion and solace of old
age, says writer in the Chicago
Tribune. But the price does not seem
small while it is being paid. The stu
lent who knows only English, an al
most grammarless tongue which has
freed itself from the trammels of CON
jugations, declensions and genders, is
appalled, by the intricacfes and com
plexities of a highly infected Ian
guage. The enthusiasm with which
he may have begun its study Is likely
to be converted into disgust. But
there could be no greater mistake
than Tor one who has got nearly
through the drudgery to lose the re-
ward by letting all that he has la
boriously learned slip away from him
when he becomes his own master.

Man Determines to Take Vain Wife
Down Peg and Is
Shut Up.

The man admired his wife just
about as much as man can admire
a wife; nevertheless. when he saw
that she was devoting more and more
time each day to mirror gazing he de-.
termined to take her down peg. Said
he brutally:

i were you, just because people hap
pen to notice you when you go out.
1t isn't you they are admiring, it's
your clothes. heard a bunch OF
women say SO just the other day"
For an instant the shock to the
woman's vanity was overpowering:
then quickly recovering she said:
I'm that case am prouder than
ever. Nature is responsible for me,
but designed the clothes myself"
And then the man shut up.

after his horse had been cared for at
