The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1910-08-12

&&V T. FEEL good over the result OF the election held II
- Tennessee August q. 1t was a most severe rebuke t.
@ Gov. Patterson. 1t showed that the people in tina
state, who do not believe in the pardoning of red
handed murderers and corrupt politics are in the majority. 1t show
even party shacbIes are broken when the good citizenship of a stat,
realize that the governor and his henchmen have ravished justic.
and attempted to barter the courts.
Patterson and his gang are enough to puke a buzzard. The
judiciary of Tennessee was up to it's ears in politics and in tn
scramble for place and power, the judges in that state showed wha
a mess Judges get themselves in when they are out begging for votes
Let it be hoped that the good work will be continued and tina
Patterson will be beaten for governor in November.

THE Secretary of Agriculture gave diplomas of Agriculture tc
South Carolina I52 I2 bushels, MISSISSIPPI 147 bushels, North
Carolina 135 bushels and Virginia I22 bushels of shelled corn on
single acre.
FOR best results in raising poultry do not feed tainted or sour
food; keep the drinking vessels clean; clean the henhouse twice a
week and kerosene the roosts once a week for mites Corn should
b.. ted very sParingly during the summer months as it is a heating
food. When pulets are too fat excess of heat is apt to result and
cause them to moult out of season.

en cities as 1884. The death rate in Grenada county, Miss, as
given by the health officer, DIR. J. w.. Young, who is president of

means below the usual death rate in this section.
We have in Grenada county lands timbered with pine, some
poplar and oak and gum which can be bought at from $40 to $50
acre.. The timber and stovewood will pay for clearing it, pre-
pairing for the pillow, buildings, etc. Where the timber will not en-
pay for the cost of clearing, etc, in no case will it cost more
than SO per acre additional making the land cost from $50 to $50
per acre. This land will produce from ga to a bale of cotton
to the acre and as fine vegetables as can be raised anywhere.
