The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1910-09-23

OF course, these remarks always
cause smile to gather around the cor
ners of the lips of MIR. Varuaman's
friends.
We saw a fight once between two
very u~nevenly matched fellows. One
was a stalwart fellow weighing posi-
bly, 200 pounds and tee other was a
dyspeptic of about los pounds. The
little fellow had a cranky sort OF a
friend in the crowd who drew a gun
and told the crowd to "let them fight,
he'll lick him if he ever gets on top.
! But the little fellow never got on top
| and would have been beaten to death
if the crowd had not finally come to his
rescue.
Now, a great many of the anti Vardi-
man people are just like this little fell
lows FRIEND the desirefor Vardaman's
defeat is so strong in their breast that
they just think Mr.. Percy is going to
! win.
Now, there may be a few doubtful
voters who once alleged they were for
Vardaman, but are now doing Percy
talk. We don't doubt this at all, but
Just as soon as Mr.. Vardaman comes
around again they will cry out as loud
as ever, "'Rah for Vardaman."
If Mr.. Percy wants these temporary
converts he is perfectly welcome to
them, but as to all this talk about Var
daman having lost his hold on THE
PEOPLE is concerned, we don't be-
lieve a word of it. On this proposition
we are from Missouri, and you'll have
to show us.
If Mr.. Percy is making his campaign
on such an idea some one ought to tell
him kindly to go home and r~ecreate.
It's cruelty to animals for Percy's
friends to tout him up on any such I'M
reasonable nonsense, and there is a
law in Mississippi against cruelty to
animals.
Vardaman's friends, as a rule, are
men who have seen no reason to desert
their candidate for this caucus creation,
hence they are standing by the White
Chief like a brick wall.
We hope Mr.. Percy's friends will moi
lose any sleep in Hilarious drunkenness
on account of this rumored desertion o.
Vardaman by his friends, for thu
awakening might cause the under
takers in Jackson and around to be to-
seriously rushed with orders. -Osyk'
