lerton last Friday.
The protracted meetings at the
M. e. church are still being contin-
ued. The attendance is not as big
as it ought to be. While there now
seems to be but little interest taken
in the services the future results our
Heavenly Father alone can tell. Let
all good christians both manifest
their interest by being in attend
ance and then pray and leave the
event with one who says where two
or three are gathered together in
my name they shall receive the
blessings. Then let all both pray
and trust.

About Subscriptions.

How about your subscription to the
Sentinel? Remember that after Nov.
Is, if you are one year in arrears, you
will owe $l.25 instead of ST. Due no.
tice has been given every delinquent
subscriber. Subscriptions are all due
IN ADVANCE. No newspaper is rid
den like the county paper. If the Com
mercial Appeal or any other news
paper is ordered, the cash must ac-
company the order. The Sentinel is
worth the subscription price. Very
few county papers can now be gotten
for 81. Most of them charge $3.50 and
some So. The Sentinel's subscription
price remains at what 1t was when
printers wages were much lower than
they are now. and when paper and
other material for the Office was much
cheaper. Pay your subscription.

An Oklahoma MARRIAGE.

A marriage of interest TO many
Grenadans took place in Oklahoma City
November l, when Mr.. S. M. Jones,
son of Mrs. r. Daily. was married to
Miss Mary Upshaw of that city. 1t was
an affair in which elegance and luxury
knew no limits and brought together
the most wealthy and the most re-
fined of that famed city.
The groom was born in Grenada and
has a host of friends here. He is a sue
cessful business man and owns large
plantation near Glendora Mrs. Jones
is granddaughter of Mrs. Ben Win
ter and niece of Mrs. R. B. Townes
of this place. She has visited Grenada
a number of times and is a lady of the
very highest culture, and is most fas-
cinating in person. She made many
friends on her several visits here all
of whom join in wishing life's richest
joys to her and her fortunate husband.
Messrs. R. w. Jones Of Grenada and
r. L. Jones of Memphis and Mesdames
R. Dailev and Robert Townes were ip
attendance upon the wedding.

Rev. W. r. Cooper.

Last Sunday Rev. W. r. Cooper,
pastor of the First Baptist church in
Grenada, began his second year.
From what the Sentinel learns, the
first year of Mr.. Cooper's ministry in
Grenada makes glowing record. The
church has paid off all indebtedness,
received So members. baptised IL, in
creased all mission collections more
than two hundred per cent; the pas
tors salary has been increased and
the congregations have grown as the
year advanced. So Mr. Cooper starts
the new year auspiciously debt, a
noble, enthusiastic and progressive peo-
pie to preach to and an inspired mes
sage to preach. The Sentinel wishes
that he may do still greater things for
the Lord during his second year.

In MemOriam.

Miss Lavinia Miller was born in South
Carolina August 8, 1882, and in early
childhood moved with her parents to
what is now the western part of Gren-
ada county. There her whole life was
spent except the past three years,
which time she was an inmate of the
Old Ladies Home at Jackson, at which
place she died October Is, 1911. She
was buried there at her own request,
the funeral services being conducted by
Revs. L. M. Moss and w. H. Hill.
She was the sole, immediate survi-
vor of large and influential family of
the old Spring Hill community. Her
father was local Methodist preacher,
and his home was a center of mental
and religious culture. She was a true
daughter of such home, an intelligent,
active christian woman, whose life was
given to service of others.
She was potent factor in tine large
and hospitable life of that old-time
community which had in it so much
that wa best of the splendid long ago.
She was kind and helpful to all, useful
everywhere, but in the homes of her
brother and sister. where for long
years sickness and death scarcely re-
moved their pail. She was indeed a
ministering spirit. Weighed in the
balance of severe trial and affiiction,
she was never found wanting. Like
tha aged minstrel, the last of his line,
who wandered from his native hills to
find in the richer valley the surprise
welcome which his sweet music COM
PEELED, so when she, in age and intirm-
ity, sought the quiet of the Old Ladies
Home to spend the remainder of her
days, found that the fine virtues of
her character gave her such place in
the hearts of the inmates as to make it
a veritable garden of peace and happi-
ness. More fortunate than most of her
companions, it was her JOY to spend a
large part of her small income in such
way as to add to their comfort and
pleasure. She never lost an opportu-
nifty to speak words of praise for the
Home and the noble women by whose
efforts it was founded and maintained.

Democrats Make Gains in Elections

General elections were held Tuesday
In several states of the Union. Missis-
ippi elected all her state officers. The
democratic nominees, headed by Earl
Brewer, were opposed by a socialist
ticket. Little interest was manifested,
as it is known that the democratic pri-
mary in Mississippi names the officers.
The democratic nominee for lieutenant
governor, Theo. G. Bilbo. ran several
thousand votes behind the balance of
the ticket. The socialist candidate led
him in many places and carried Sun
flower county.
The democratic state ticket won in
Kentucky, thus redeeming that state
from republican rule The democratic
governor was reelected in Massachu-
sets. In New York the republicans
regain control of the Legislature; this,
however, is more of protest against
Tammany than a victory for the re-
publicans. The democrats sustain some
losses in New Jersey, but retain con-
troll of the legislature. The first cleo
ton was held in the new state of New
Mexico, and at this writing both sides
are claiming victory. The democrats
elect congressman at special cleo
tion in Kansas and make gains in Ohio
cities. Upon the whole, the result
shows a democratic tendency and looks
well for victory next year.

Whitfield King Highly Praised.

The people of Grenada county are
well aware of the fact that they not
only have an accommodating and well
qualified chancery clerk in the person
of John S. King, but that the deputy
chancery clerk, Whitfield King, is
equally as capable and obliging. These
gentlemen have many times been pro-
nounced by the Chancellor the best
clerks in this district. The following
letter from Deputy Auditor and Audi
tor-elect Thompson at Jackson, pays a
very high tribute indeed to Mr.. Whit
field King, who is always careful,
painstaking and accurate. The follow
ing is Mr.. Thompson letter:
Jackson. Oct. 6, 1911.
MIR. Whitfield King, Deputy Chancery
Clerk, Grenada, Miss:
My Dear Sir-The copies of the land
and personal rolls of 1911 for your
county have been received and ap-
proved by the Auditor today.
No doubt you made these rolls, or
rather copies, and made all calculntions
therein, in compliance with the require
ments Of section 1907 of the code of
1906. 1t gives me pleasure to say that
in my judgment, in so far as the chan
cery clerks work is concerned, these
are the best rolls that have been re-
ceived by this department this year.
With best wishes for your brother
and yourself, am,
Your friend.
D. L. Thompson,
Deputy State Auditor.

Sisson in Grenada.

Hon. I. U. Sisson, congressman from
this district, was in Grenada for short
while between trains, last Tuesday.
Several of our citizens had an appoint
ment with Mr.. Sisson to discuss some
matters relative to Grenada 8 interests,
and the Sentinel is glad to state that
he seemed fully alive to the situation
and manifested the deepest interest.
MIR. Sisson was enroute to New York
where he expects to join the other
members of the appropriations CON-
mittee of the lower house of congress,
who will then sail for the Panama
Canal

COIored MethodiStS in Session.

The Northeast Mississippi Confer
ence of the colored Methodist church,
With Bishop H. M. Turner presiding.
met in this city Wednesday. Presiding
Elder A. H. News, had carefully ar
ranged all the details for the enter
tainment of the conference and had re-
ceived no inconsiderable aid from the
white people of the town in his plans
for their entertainment. Bishop Tur-
ner is one Of the leading men of his
race. He lectured at the court house
Tuesday night. His address was not
only entertaining, but higly instructive.
He made an earnest plea to his people
for higher and better things, and while
charging up to his race many delin-
quencies, he incidentally lectured the
white race mildly. He commended
Booker Washington, but said that
Washington was by no means the best
educated negro in the United States.
He stated that the president of Camp
bell College. who occupied seat on
the platform with him, could teach
Washington for seven years. He said
that Washington chief asset was his
ability to dig into the white mans
pocketbook and get the coin. He spoke
of his several visits to Africa and indi-
Gated that he had changed his opinion
as to deporting the negroes there.
The conference has brought many
delegates to Grenada.

What About the Union?

! wish to suggest to those who were
(shall say are?) mepbers os the Gren-
ada County Farmers Union that a
meeting be had on an early day to
reorganize and start anew. There was
some money paid in on the proposed
warehouse, that l suppose the payees
would like to know about. Have we q
Union in this county? If we have blum
dered in the past, that in no way mini
mizes the necessity Of having an or
ganization of the Grenada County Far
mers. Let US hear from others.
