Marvels of Heat

white next still winter. soon the bar
will sag down, break and fall.
But put the bar at first into corun-
DUN tube able TO resist terrific heat.
The bar will turn into a boiling liquid,
and by suitable means the whole bar can
be made to vaporlze into gas.
But electricity and heat are so wonder
full that the establishment is always
awakened in all who behold. At tho
worlds Fair in Chicago they had huge
dynamo with iron jaws to clutch the
ends OF bars of metal for experiments
with electric heat. They put In bar
OF iron two inches square and three feet
long, and turned on the electricity. The
bar soon grew to be red and white hot
and sagged down In the middle. 1t was
lifted out with steel tongs, and then =
substituted myself for the bar and placed
a hand on each huge iron terminal OF the
dynamo and took all the current through
my corporeal strdot1re. 1t merely felt
a weak vibration in the hands and wrists.
The current was great In quantity, but
OF very low pressure. I believe OF one
and one-half or two volts.
Then / stepped out OF the circuit and
another bar was placed in the Jaws. with
more white heat Then went up to a
dynamo, placed my back against huge
pole, placed wrench weighing three
pounds against my breast let go. and
the wrench remained. held by the intense
power of magnetism. And here am still
writing i'm 1911. and the exploits were IL.

Heat will pass through lens made of
ice and strike up n fire at the focus
Another mistake. Energy from the sun
passed through the ice and was drawn
to a focus on matter which was able TO
receive II and appropriate II as heat.
You can separate heat from light and use
each separately and do many wonder
full things with both these totally un-
known forces In n suitable laboratory.
Unknown is used here purposely. for
nothing is now known as 10 what any

"There Was No Wreck"

An actor complained bitterly in New
York about the death of jameson Lee
Finney at the Carlton hotel fire in Lon
don.
THE Carlton hotel, the day after the
fire" he said, gave out newspaper state
ments to the effect that there had been
no real fire at all, that people we're din
ing in the restaurant all through the
trifling blaze. And meanwhile poor Fin
ney's blackened corpse lay undiscovered
in an upstairs room.
The Carlton people remind me of a
terrible train wreck, a rear-end collision
that happened in Massachusetts.
"A Boston reporter, just after this
wreck bent over poor fellow who lay
with both legs gone, among lot of dead
men in a field.
My poor fellow, the reporter said
can you tell me how the wreck hap
pened?
The recumbent figure opened its eyes
frowned at the reporter and muttered in
a weak voice:
! am not aware, sir, that there has
been any wreck.
He was one OF the officials of tn,

Three Wishes
BY FRANCES l.. GARsIDE.

The little emissary from Fairyland with
his wish pack on his back stood in the
center of the table around which were
seated Lysander John Appleton, his wife
and their daughter, Daysey Mayme.

Lysander John and his wife looked at
each other in sorrowing amaze! From the
hour when Daysey Mayme arrived they
had devoted their hearts and their lives
TO loving her; they had loved her for
all she is. for all they believed her to
They had loved her for her follies and

Then, looking out into the dark as

Model Steam Laundry

Mr.. Walker Ingraham of Pensacola,
Florida, has purchased the Grenada
Steam Laundry plant, but it will here
after be called the Model Steam Laun-
dry.
Mr.. Ingraham comes to Grenada with
the highest endorsements, not only as
an experienced laundryman. but as
cultured and worthy eiti7en nd good
business man. He ana hr excellent
wife and two daughters aie for the
present boarding at Mrs. Durham's,
and the Sentinel bespeaks for them
that courtesy that Grenada is won't tc
extend new citizens.
Such citizens as Mr.. Ingraham ano
family are valuable additions to any
community. The Sentinel feels sure
that Grenada will give Mr.. lngrahan
that support and encouragement which
| Is due every local enterprise; II theI
do, it will vouch for his success Mr.
Ingraham will give Grenada what
needs in a laundry.

T. F. Wier is a Candidate.

With this issue of the Sentinel NJ.
T. F. Wier makes public his ambition
to serve the people of Grenada county
in the capacity of sheriff. 1t is wor-
thy ambition in any man to fit and
qualify himself for public duty A just
appreciation OF public service Is one of
the highest qualities of good citizen
ship. The people at large are, by the
very policies of this government, COM
PEELED to select some one Of their num-
Der to do the work in public office.
Realizing this, the question that should
first concern them. in making up their
choice for the office of sheriff, is: Is
he honest, is he capable and has he the
moral stamina to do his duty? The
Sentinel would be but repeating the
declaration of Mr. Wier's friends in
saying that he measures up to the prop
er standard. Aside from his qualifi-
cations that appeal to the public, he is
a kind husband, a good neighbor and a
successuful farmer He will no doubt,
ere long, see the voters and present his
cause in person.

OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
OF THE GRENADA BANK
Hold Annual Convocation. A Splendid Body of Men
Business of 1910 More than Satisfactory
Are Entertained With Musical Recital at Grenada College
Monday Evening. Sump'uous Banquet Follows List
of those Present

The annual meeting of the directors
of the Grenada Bank and of the mar
ayers of the twelve branch banks, was
held in the directors rooms of the
Grenada Bank in this city on Monday
Of this week.
The branch banks are located at
Charleston, Oakland, Eupora, Timber
vile, Woodland, Calhoun City, Acker-
man, Louisville, McCool, Moorehead,
Belzoni and Noxapater. These branches
bring the parent bank in touch with a
large clientele. Perhaps there is no
other bank in the South with so many
different depositors as the Grenada
Bank. That the branch banks are thor
oughly identified with the life and
spirit Of their several communities, is
amply proven by the great number in
terested in them and their devotion to
the Grenada Bank.
There We're seventy-three directors
present. The affairs of the bank were
found to never have been in a more
highly satisfactory condition, and this
is saying great deal for an institution
that has gone from one triumph to an
other year by year. That the stock
holders were pleased, was thoroughly
manifested by the buoyant faces and
exultant smiles of those present.
1t is the endeavor of the president,
J. 7. Thomas, to cultivate the aesthetic
tastes of all his officials and to blend
the beautiful and the poetic. as FAR as
possible, with strict business. In keep
ing with this desire again this year, a
musical recital was given at Grenada
College by the students of the musical
department, Monday evening at s:l5.
The College auditorium was packed to
overhowing. The audience showed the
keenest interest in every piece on the
program, and all were undoubtedly
we'll pleased with the evenings en-
tertainment. DR.. Coutiss, of the
College. as well as the instructors anG

When the recital was over, the di-
rectors and managers and a few special
guests repaired to the spacious dining
hall OF the College, where, a. the it,

banquet was spread With fair maid
ems and pretty girls to do the honors Of
the table, it is no wonder that elo-
quence flowed, wit sparkled and humor
effervesced over a we'll prepared
menu until near the midnight hour,
The Sentinel feels assured that every
one OF these visitors enjoyed his stay in
Grenada. They did the town good, and
it is safe to say that they departed
feeling closer to the life of the Grena-
da Bank.
One of the chief sources of the sue
cess of the Grenrda Bank is because
the management has always placed the
proper estimation on the good will and
worth of the individual

FATAL ACCIDENT
TO T. P. COLLINS.
Accidental Discharge OF
Shotgun Kills One of
COunty's Best Citizens.

An accident, which resulted in the
death of F. P. Collins. one of Grenada
Ceunty's best and most substantial cit
liens, occurred at Hardy Station last
Friday afternoon. Mr.. Collins walked
out of the room, where sat two of his
children and the baby lay in the cradle,
into closet, presumably to get some
article of wearing apparel. In a mo-
meHt the family were startled by the
report of shotgun. All mer:bers of
the family rushed to the place from
whence the deadly noise came, only to
find Mr. Collins in half-sitting pos
ture with horribly mutilated face and
jaw. The wound had robbed him of his
organs of speech, but every circum-
stance variants the conclusion that the
hammerless shotgun, which was sitting
behind trunk in the closet, was not
on the safety, and that in reaching for
the article Of clothing it had been tilted
over and the jar caused it to fire. The
contents of the gun entered just back
of the chin, under the lower jaw and
plowed its way through the mouth, en-
tirely tearing off almost the lower half
of the nose.
Friends and neighbors rushed to the
rescue of the distressed family. Physi-
clans were summoned from Grenada,
as well as from Hardy; but science
could not repair the ravages made by
the gun, and he died about three hours
after the fatal accident.
Mr.. F. P. Collins was useful man
and worthy citizen. He could always
be depended upon to cast his influence
on the side Of r;gh' in matters of pub
lie concern. He was devoted to his
family. He was truly kind husband
and indulgent father. His every hope
and ambition were for his family. His
death is distinct loss to the county.
His remains were laid to rest in the
Collins burying ground Saturday after
noon, his pastor, Rev. w. w. Mitchell
of the Methodist church, conducting ths
services.
