What She Said.

When n persons dress and bearing
are striking it is natural to expect
that voice and conversation will be in
Keeping. Nevertheless, it does not
always turn out so. A man standing
on the street corner waiting for his
car, saw two pretty and tastefullv
dressed girls approaching from oppo-
site directions. Their smiling faces
showed tnat they were acquaintances.
and as they came nearer, the observ
ant man prepared to hear gracefully
expressed greetings and well-bred
tones of voice
what he heard in a chirping bird
like treble was this: "Wot you chawin'
May?"-Iouth's Companion.

Modern Fables in Ancient Form.

The Tale Of Plumber.
And there lived in the ancient city
oi Column, man who owned a house
But it came 10 pass that the pipe in
the bath room bursted and required
the services OF a plumber There
upon, craftsman named Scraggs was
called TO repair the damage
Now Scraggs was an artisan but as
is the way OF plumbers. he worked on
time. Many hours passed while
Scraggs had his siesta on the roof
and the water flooded all the second
floor.
Finally, after many days. the pipe
was fixed and the water lessened III
volume. When the bill arrived it de-
manded 500 for time spent and 50 fine
for waking the artisan.
Then was the master exceeding
wroth and went to the artisan and call
ed him many hard and unprintable
names.
Now Scraggs was man Of exceed
ing gentle disposition, but the Sights
on his genealogy and the doubts cast
on his honesty roused the devil of
anger in him.
He biffeI the master in the eye and
had him hailed before the court.
The caliph fined him $3.50 and
costs for breaking the peace and the
physicians bill was very great.
Thus was the master punished for
taking offense at an established in
stitution and rousing the wrath of
mighty plumber

CONSERVATION OF THE RACE.

NO nation can prosper that fails to
establish every safeguard possible for
the health and longevity of those who
compose II and make it's greatness
possible. We hear a great deal about
the conservation of the forests and
the waterways and the unused lands:
all this and more is needed. The ami
NAL in man often controls, it calls for
the very things that are not humane
or in accord with true civilization.
Too many think war is a ciyilizins
agent. How many mothers care to
rear sons to be butchered? Did the
critic ever stop to think the sons that
went down with the Maine were worth
more than all of Cuba and Spain CON-
bined. An honest American life is un-
purchasable

An erroneous impression has been
abroad among imperiectly informed
people that a part, at least, OF the eX-
pense OF the expedition was defraved
by government money. As a matter
OF fact no appropriation was asked OF
or made by any branceh OF the govern

Not one cent of government money
was expended from start TO finish of
the journey. The expedition although
for scientific purposes Tor the benifit

personal admirers anxious to advance

be awarded by the Sentinel Nov

ants in the city of Grenada are in
one district and those outside of
Grenada in another. Remember,
too, that first and second prizes
do not SO to same district. For
example: If contestant living
outside of Grenada should lead in
votes when the final count is
made that contestant would get
the $500 diamond ring. If the
contestsnt with the next highest
vote should also reside outside of
the city of Grenada, that contest
ant would get third prize. In
other words, the first and second
prizes will not both be awarded
TO the same district. Money paid
this office now in our S435 contest
also gets votes in the $500 Piano

TAX QUESTION
ABLY HANDLED.
BY FOn. :. : Morrison.
When Low Valuations Is
Considered. Levy Not
High.

Editor Sentinel | note with consid-
cradle interest and some more or less
amusement the criticisms of our
board Of supervisors. Whenever the
employer looks closely after his hired
man there is always better work done:
criticism Of public officials, if not
spasmodic and unjust, will result in
good to the general public.
While I shall not defend the board,
as think that each man should form
his own judgmenton the facts, as they
exist, yet there is one thing, which
very materially effects our county in
rather peculiar way, that ought in JUS
tice be brought before the general
master, The Public.
According to section POS of our State
Constitution, the public school fund,
which is by far our heaviest appropria-
tion is distributed in the ratio of the
educable children of each county. I'm
der this plan some counties pay into
the public treasury of the state vastly
more than they can get out. Take our
county as an illustration, we pay in
over S24, 900, each year and We receive
in return about Sl1, 900 for the schools
and old soldiers, thus we contribute
about SIS, 600 for the schools and old
soldiers of our poorer counties. Now
few object to aiding the Confederate
soldier and the children of our sister
counties, but we are paying vastly too
mach. We are paying eight or ten
times more than We should, and there
is hardly a way to avoid it, certainly
no legal way. If the distribution were
in accordance with justice, we would
have at least half Of that overplus here
with us, it would not be taken from
the pockets of the people and still those
less favored counties would have their
sch )ols and pensions. The only solution
is in the amendment of the section 206
OF our constitution, and l have seen

The Fair management have put their
best efforts forward to make the TAR
of 1910 a success and there are many
reasons why this is necessary and why
the exhibits, the races and ETC., ought
to eclipse all previous fairs. In the
first place, the management .haVe
learned from past fairs the best way to
proceed. Experience has been wisely
utilized by all the fair officers. In the
second place there have been many IN
centives to urge competitor chieI
of which is the various fairs that
have been, and are billed to be held at
other place. Grenada was holding fairs
when no other place in Mississippi was
interested. Grenada set the pace, 9TH
ers saw the good results. thus these
other fairs should stir the pride OF
everyone in Grenada and Grenada lcoun-
tv and spur every citizen to come
up to the help of the enterprise FAIRS
are barometors of progress. They are
the tapa lines of results, the yard SUCK
of success. This is progressive era.
The exhibits this year promise TO De
the best. The races will undoupteoiy
