THE FISHERMAN.
By L. c. Moore.

DJ l.. - ~ NCAS'
Sitting by the placid stream
In the glorihed sunset beam,
The green trees waving at my side,
Sky painted in the moving stream.
It was a pleasant Autumn day,
Came two ladies th.n and gray,
My company they accepted with con-
tent,
Fishing and pleasuring they were bent.
Many strangers passed us by,
lifted my hat with up-cast eye,
Their smiles | delighted to see,
But innocent as a child could be.
They pleasantly continued their view,
Looking over at the landscape fair,
Fish in brook, hills and the trees,
Listening at the buzzing bees.
Finally l saw one give me a look
Not recorded in any good book;
Then | thought of my Sunday clothes
That would give me graceful pose.
l will hope, trust and pray,
Until I'm bent, old and gray,
That restful scenes and sweet repose
Nav be theirs till life shall close.

one by one they are being relieved

Under Advisement.

The case Of Charles Owens, alias
Young, habeas corpus No. $40, IN line
with the above contention, was argued
before Justice Wendell P. Stafford,
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia,
Thursday, March Q, 1911, by H. A.
Clarke, for the petitioner, and Stanton
{. Peele, for the government. At the
conclusion of the argument the court
requested the submission of briefs.
Among some of the reasons the gov
ernment assigns in opposition to the
contention of counsel for the petition
er is the following: Neither the courts
of the District nor the Supreme Court
Of the United States have up to this
time been called upon to decide
whether the failure of a prisoner to
demand the assignment of counsel for
his defense constitutes a waiver of his
rights under the Sixth Amendment.
The bone of the contention of coun-
sci for the petitioner on this point is
that the prisoner could not waive af-
frmatively or negatively a guaranteed
right that he did not know of

GRENADA IN GALA ATTIRE
City Is Being Handsomely Decorated
for the Coming Fair.

The decorations about Grenada con-
vince anyone that the town is desper-
ately in earnest about the fair. The
National colors, together with appro-
pirate bunting and the hundreds OF
electric lights, make the public square
at night vertable garden of beauty,
The decorations are but in keeping
with the other preparations being made
for this great occasion. The tourna-
ment, the big dinner, the races, the
floral parade, the baby show, the live
stock and the exhibit in the ladies' de-
pa~tment, make c0n.,;ipatisr Of at
fractions never before excelled at this
or any other district fair ever held in
Mississippi.
Let the lovers of fast horses remem-
ber that there is the best race track
here, in the state. The owners of
race horses are duly apprised of this,
and there is going to be a rush for
Grenada at the fair, by race horse
men, that is remarkable.
Certainly the farmers of the fair
district have a great opportunity in the
fair, and they are in position to get
greater benefits from the fair than any
other class. The farmers should bear
in mind that the Government has ex-
perts all over the country who are en-
deavoring to promote diversified farm
ing and the latest in agricultural
methods. Therefore, the farmers
should use the fair to show what they
have produced and the stock raised.
Come to the fair and bring your
friends and neighbors.

Band Boys Robbed.


A number of the Band boys who
were registered at Longinatti's hotel
while they were playing at the Tri-
State Fair last week, were the unwil-
ling victims of a bold, bad burglar
The daring thief entered the wide-open
door and quietly went through the
pockets of the sleeping musicians. Err
nest Penn lost zoe; Albert Tatum, 95c;
]. H. Bryant, a pocketbook; Baird
Bingham, 30c. The watches, diamond
rings and other valuables were not
touched. This bold robbery caused
many of our boys to take awful bad
colds as result of having to recline in
the arms of Morpheus in Court Square.

The Gollmar Brothers Circus has ad-

after he began practicing law, when he
made the race for district attorney. He
was chosen without opposition to rep
resent Grenada county in the Constltu-
tional Convention of 1890, and was one
of the leading forces in that body of
great men. His name has several diff
ferent times been connected with the
race for Governor.
He is a member of the Presbyterian

Strike Situation Grows Worse.

The railroad strike continues without
any abatement. In fact. it seems to
gather in force with the passing days.
The railroad company is importing men
from other sections to this state as
fast as possible to take the places of
the strikers. In several places the
trike-breakers have been the cause of
there being ''near' riots. Much ex-
citement exists throughout the affected
country. Already the C % m m ercia
world is experiencing great inconven-
ience and much merchandise is being
shipped by express.
A number of Grenada citizens met a
few days agfwAth the officers of the
Business Lesu' rv0sappd adopted resoia-
tions rledgie s4NA railroad company
that GrenaS WV do whatever it
could to see that aliy new employees be
allowed to perform the duties assigned
them, and requested Mayor Tatum to
designate, if necessary, additional po-
licemen to protect the railroad COM
pany in the prosecution of their bus
mess.
A train load of strike breakers acted
the part of hoodlums at several differ
ent points as the train went south
Tu esday night. At Oxford they raided
a lunch counter and store and are SAID
to have swiped several hundred dol
lars worth of merchandise. Officer
Hall and his assistant, Martin, were at
the depot when the train reached
Grenada and compelled proper conduct.
What the outcome of the strike will
be, is of course problematical. Like
every other matter in controversy be-
tween sane individuals, there are un-
questionably two sides to the matter at
issue.

A Sad Bereavement.

With the dissolution of the soul and
boby Of little William Archibald Roane,
the two year old son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
8. s. Roane of this city, which occurred
shortly after 10 o'clock OF last Monday
night, one of the saddest bereavem ants
came t. these fond and loving parents
that humanity is called on to experience
He was an exceedingly bright child and
only those who have been blessed with
the caresses and ministrations of lit
tie child, can know the blighted hopes
and the anguish of heart that it..means
to thsse who must see them suffer and
at last surrender to that face which
awaits all mankind. Let the heart
broken parents remember that God
makes no errors. 1t was in love and
with Divine purpose that he gave
littlc William Archibald to this home
and had him to entwine himself into
every fibre Of their nature and it is no
less in love that He has thus early call
ed him into that blessed abode where
all is joy, love, happiness and content
ment. The dear child's spirit is now
basking in the sunshine of heaven and
talking to the redeemed of the celes-
tial city about his papa and mamma
joining him there. The funeral services
were conducted from the family resi-
dence Tuesday afternoon by Rev. J. G.
Carothers after which the remains
were carried to Odd Fellows cemetery,
where they were followed by many sor'
rowing relatives and sympathizing
friends, and:aid to rest. May God in
His mercy comfort the distressed par
ents to whom the Sentinel tenders the
sincerest sympathy.

10, 1854. He grew up among the boys
of the town. He graduated at the Uni
versity of Kentucky. He studied law
under w. R. Barksdale and received
his license to practice law before the
court at Winona on the day he was
twenty one years old. June 10, 1875,
His law tutor took him in as part
ner and the firm was Barksdale & Nc
Lean until the death of the former in
1877. Judge Mclean has been a most
successful lawyer. There is no legal
problem too complex for him and it has
been the rule of his life to thoroughly
master the legal intricacies of every
legal proposition he undertook to con-
slider. He knows the law books and
he has handled some of the most i'm
portant litigation ever before the
courts of the state. When arguing a
case a few years ago before the United
States district court sitting in Cincin-
natl. one of the Judges took occasion to
mass one of the most effusive compli-
ments on Judge McLean's brief and his
argument in the case that ever came
from the bench to an attorney at the
bar.

sired to name Judge Mclean to the
