If you can keep your head when all
about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on
you;
If you can trust yourself when all men
doubt you,
But make allowance fer their doubt
If O can wait and not be tired
by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies;
And yet don't look too good nor talk
too wise.
If you can dream and not make dreams
your master,
If you can think, and not make
thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Dis

And treat those two impostors just
the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've

Or watch the things you gave your life

And stoop and build them up with

If you can make one heap of all your

And risk it on one turn Of pitch and

And lose and start again at your be-

And never breathe a word about your
loss;

With such a combination of

a rapidly growing trade and that

the largest stocks of furniture in

want in the way of furniture. car

TIE firm of Garner & Sharp.
began business in Grenada in
1903. The senior member of the
firm, w. w. Garner. was born and
reared in Grenada and he grew
up, almost, in a furniture store.
Prior to the organization of rhis
firm, he was connected with +. A.
Meaders & Co. He is a jovial.
~big-hearted. k,ndly-natured man.
He is as sympathetic as a woman.
His profession of undertaken ar
ries him into many a grief-strick-
en- home, and while he is equal to
any emergency. yet he never fails
to justly appreciate conditions
and to drop a tear with those who
weep. AS a business man. he is
accurate, prompt and capable. He
enjoys a wide acquaintanceship
and would be an important factor
in any enterprise.
The junior member of the firm,

MCCASuIN'S STORE
The House Of Beauty and of tx.
cellenCe in the Grocery
Line

Dancing sunbeams do not give
light themselves, but they are in
dubitable proof of the source that
makes them.
A bright and smiling face will
not of itself solve %liife's 'iificult
problems. but it is a splendid in
dex to the soul that will do it.
The Ruler of the Universe has
set the example OF beauty and of
perfection. He made the world
and crowned it with glory and
honor. Hence it is but a divine
injunction to make things look
pretty and attractive. This is
what MCCAsLIN's The HOUSE OF
QUALITY has e~ndeavored to do.
He keeps his store new and invi-
ting. He goes upon the theory
that new wine must not be put
in old bottles" The best goods
come in handsome packages.
That McCaslin's goods are as
superb in quality as the beauty of
his store is charming, is proven
by bis rapidly growing trade. His
desire to sell nothing but HIGH
CLASS GOODS and to merit the ap-
proval of the trade, is just as
poignant as his desire to make the
interior of his store a gem of eX-
cellence and a JOY serene.

Hon. Ross Collins a Candidate for Attorney General

Ross Collins belongs to a type
which has always made h e
strength of Mississippi. Born and
reared upon a farm, the worth of
that nurture and environment is
reflected in his character and ca
reer. AT 81. he has won an hon
orable place in his profession at d
bar composed of many of the best
and strongest lawyers in the state.
AS a citizen, he enjoys the re.
spect and esteem of the commu-
nifty in which he lives. as a high
minded. upright gentleman; and
if elected attorney general, will
carry to the duties of that re-
sponsible office both learning and
character for their right fulfill
ment.-The Mississippian, Feb.
II, 1911.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1911-04-07

The belief is everywhere preva-
lent that he is going to be elected
by a very handsome majority.
Ross Collins is one of the states
most brilliant young men. and he
had the advantage of having had
a very ssful experience as a
LAWYER. He is a close student and
a hard worker; a man who takes
great pride in learning all there is
to be. learned about any subject
that requires his attention. That
he would make a splendid attor-
ney general. will not be doubted
by those who are familiar with his
talents.
1t is exceedingly gratifying to
MI. Collins many friends at home
to know that his candidacy is
meeting with such general favor.
Mr. collins has never before
sought office for himself, but he
has had considerable to do with
politics and he is recognized as
one of the best political workers
in the state. He does not resort
to petty politics or anything
small. but he is a fine mixer and
readily makes friends.
1t is east Mississippi's time to
have a state officer. and the bal
ance of the state should concede
this and give the thoroughly quail.

A Winning CANDIDATE

Not from the candidate HIM
self, but from a gentleman who is
in a position to form mighty good
ideas of the situation, The Dis
patch learns that there is a de-
cided sentiment all over the state
in favor Of the election of Ross
Collins of this county to be the
attorney general of the state of
Mississippi.
From every county comes the
information that his friends are at
work in his behalf. and tn: peo-
pie are rallying to his standard.

VALUE OF SUMMER TILLING
Yield Of Wheat Has Been Doubled by
This Method Of Preparing Seed
Bed-Best Varieties.

(By E. A. BURNETT. Director of Ne
braska Agricultural Experiment
Station)
The Nebraska experiment station
has just issued bulletin No. 11S on
Growing Crops in Western Nebras-
ka. This bulletin gives the results
of crop production at the North Platte
substation during the past seven
years. together with the record OF
past 36 years. and a discussion OF
methods of farming for dry land.
Considerable space is given to show
ing the results secured by summer TILL
ing land. The yield of winter wheat
has been doubled by this method of
preparing the seed bed. The average
yield OF plots properly prepared and
seeded has been 46 bushels per acre
during the past five years. The yield
from these plats in 1910, when the pre-
cipitation for the year was only 10.7
inches. was 35 to 81 bushels per acre.
Summer tilling sod and old land for
winter wheat is strongly advocated.
The records show that summer tilling
also increased the yields of spring
grains, but not to so great an extent
as the winter wheat Whether sum
mer tilling for spring grains is profit
able Is still an open question. though
1t would prove the most profitable
practice during years like 1910.
The tests show that the press drill
increases the yield of grain so much
beyond the yields secured by sowing
broadcast that the farmer cannot af-
ford TO SOW grain broadcast. rs the
difference in the yield on a rather
small field will pay for the drill.
The variety tests indicate that the
following are superior to or as good
as any other varieties tried: Turkey
Red winter wheat. Durum spring
wheat. kherson oats. common six
rowed barley. and Substation Calico
corn.
Among the forage crops. cane (sor-
ghum) ranks first as an annual and
alfalfa first as a perennial. on bench
land. Alfalfa on the table land did
not produce forage or seed In 1910.
The climatic records show that the
average annual precipitation for the
past SO years is 1853 inches. and for
1910. 10.7 inches: 1910 was the driest
year during the SO years. yet fair
crops were produced by proper meth

maids may well rejoice at their op-
portunities.
But gown makers have not excelled
the milliners, and hats are a fitting
climax to the beauty of gowns. Be-
sides hats. there are any number Of
hair bands. beaded caps, jeweled or
naments and quaint arrangements OF
the coiffure for those who prefer
them. Little lace bonnets and short
wells have been recently used by
brides looking for the quaint and pic
turesque in the costuming OF their
maids.

list would certainly admire. 1t is

1t is OF black Zagal faced with vel

has a decided upward curve at the
left revealing the coiffure of puffs and
curls. A splendid color of ostrich in
coral shades from pale to deep pink
sweeps all about the hat. At the
left a plume, in the same shades. pro-
vides Just the requisite dash to the
finish of this model. The shape is
such that the entire profile. including
the neck and shoulder. stands out

This is an example of the superb
in millinery. But thanks to the lati-
tude in fashions. maids who may not
indulge in such costly headwear may
look as lovely IN the jeweled Greek
bands. the empire turbans or the
Juliet caps made of beads. Then
there are the garlands of flowers and
the wreaths of blossoms made Of rib
bon with occasional spangles OF lit

II Is a parasite plant related TO the
orchids. The shining stems twine
about trees and climb their trunks 20
to 80 feet. drawing their life through
rootlets which they send through the

PLENTY OF CHEAP TRIMMINGS
Many Effective Varieties This Sea-
son Which a Woman Can Fix Up
for Herself.

OF inexpensive trimmings that a
woman can manage for herself there
is almost no end this season. The old
fashioned cross-stitch has entered the
lists against the more elaborate embroi-
deries. and has won a place of its own
in its first season. II is effective, in
expensive and very easy, says the De
lineator. You can work in bright col
ored wool on chiffon and other trans
parencies, or in ordinary embroidery
floss on your cotton blouses. 1t works
up in no time even In inexperienced
hands. and II has all the best houses
in Paris to vouch for Its good charac-
ter from the fashion standpoint. 1t
makes a very good looking trimming
for the bottom of tunics and fiounces,
and for the edges OF surplice waists
and oversleeves. A wool cross-stitch
answers the same purpose as bead en-
broidery. giving a little weight to
sheer materials, and 1t costs even less
than the porcelain beads.

Any calf should be fed whole milk
for at least two weeks after birth.

which can always be learned on ap-
plication.
BY careful selection and judicious
mating the Shropshire has been
brought to the leading position It now
occupies.
The silo enables the farmer to keep
more live stock, which promotes the
rotation OF crops and the preservation
of soil fertility.
The windows of horse stable
should be SO arranged that the horses
are not required to stand for hours
with the full glare Of the sunlight in
their eyes.
No definite rule can be given az TO
when calf should be weaned. but
as a general proposition It is a good
plan to feed skim milk till It IL six
months old.
