Manchester Press: Commenting up
on the late ]. w. Blythes refusal to
accept the vacancy In the United
States senate occasioned by the death
of Senator Gear, the Webster City
Freeman-Tribune says that Mr.. Blythe
made the statement that This legal
association with railroads untitled him
for service in the upper house of con-
gress." Mr.. Blythe made no such state
ment. What he did say to Governor
Shaw-and the statement was made
in the Auditorium hotel In Chicago
one morning at three o'clock after a
prolonged discussion-was that he
would not exchange salary OF $780,
600 year as general counsel for the
Burlington for $4,000 year as sena-
tor, and furthermore that the position
would be distasteful to him for the
reason that however patriotic his
motives might be he would be subject
ed to suspicion because of his railroad
affiliations. Mr.. Blythe also told Gov
ernor Shaw that his appointment
would provoke criticism of him Gov
ernor Shaw and that he felt these
reasons sufficient for declination. At
no time, however, did Mr.. Blythe in.
innate that his work had untitled him
Tor public service. That would have
been an arraignment of his own in
tegrity to which no man who knew
MIN would have given assent The Re-
publican party in Iowa never develop

When Il Is Hot.
Consider Mr.. Shadrach,
OF fiery furnace fama.


OF fiery furnace fame;
He didn't bleat about the heat
Or fuss about the fame.
He didn't stew and worry.
And get his nerves in kinks,
Nor fill his skin with lines and gin
And other cooling drinks
Consider Mr.. Meshach,
Who felt the furnace, too:
He let 1t sizz, nor queried "Is
1t hot enough for your,
He didn't mop his forehead
And hunt shady spot;
Nor did he say, Gee! what day!
Believe me, it's some hot
Consider, too. Abed-ne-go,
Who shared his comrades plight;
He didn't shake his coat and make
Himself a holy sight.
He didn't wear suspenders
Without coat and vest;
Nor did he scowl and snort and
howl,
ana make n1mSel1 pest.
Consider, friends, this trio
How little fuss they made.
They didn't curse when it was wor- Q
Than ninety in the shade
They moved about serenely
Within the furnace bright,
And soon forgot that it was hot,
With mo relief In sight"

County Agricultural Commissioner

Mr.. Ira T. McLemore reached Gren-
ada several days ago to take up his
duties as Agricultural Commissioners
matter which was arranged for at the
October meeting of the Supervisors of
this county.
Mr.. McLemore has every appearance
of not only cultured gentleman, but a
sincere, candid man end one who would
not undertake any task tht he did not
think himself able of we'll executing.
In view Of the probabilities of the boil
weevil and the necessity of progressive
agriculture. Mr.. McLemore has no
small task before him. The Sentinel
bespeaks for him the most thorough
cooperation of the farmers of the
county and is in position to know,
whcih it states without Mr.. McLe-
more's knowled ge or consent, that he
resigned position in the employ of a
railroad company that was far more re-
munerative than the one he comes here
to fill. He is in the agricultural work
because it is congenial and suits his
tastes and because he thinks the i'm
mediate future of the South is largely
dependent on what is now done by the
farmers. Mr.. McLemore is a Geor-
gian, and his wife will join him in a
few days. Grenada extends them both
q cordial welcome.
