Tick Causes Great Loss.

An item from Columbia, South Caro-
lima, says: 1t is conServatively esti-
mated that the cattle tick causes loss
of between fifty and one hundred mill
ion dollars annually to the Soutn."
This statement is made by Dr. T.. NJ.
Nighbert of the United States tureau
of animal industry, who has charge of
arrangements for the dipping vat to
be installed for demonstration purposes
at the fifth National Corn Exposition
here next January. by cooperative
efforts" says DR.. Nighbert, 1.-THE tick
can be eradcated from any farm. no
matter what the conditions, within six
to nine months.
This cattle dipping vat at the Expo
sition will be used to demonstrate the
practical use of this most effective and
most certain method of ridding cattle
of this pest This demonstration is one
feature of the comprehensive exhibit
from the Federal Department of Agri-
| culture, which, together with the edu-
cational exhibits from many state ag-
ricultural colleges and experiment sta
tions, and competitive exhibits from
many states, gives the Exposition its
recognized value as a potent fac:or in
the agricultural development OF the
nation.
''The cattle tick prevents safe breed
ing, handling and marketing of cattle
because it transmits disease to every
animal it infests," says DR.. Nighbert,
in pointing out the necessity for the
eradication of the pest. THE cattle
! tick is easily, permanently and mex
pensvely eradicated by dipping cattle

Turkish. Balkan War.

Although the Balkan states are small,
each is able to muster quite an army.
They are fighting men, these Balkan
people. They are trained in arms from
childhood and they are fretful for con-
quest of Turkey. Balkan hatred of
Turks is fetch Of ancient origin. Bull
garia has population of only about A.
500, 600 people, but it can bring into
the field fighting force of 235, 900
trained and seasoned soldiers. Servia
and Roumania, and even little Monte
negro, have proportionately large
standing armies. On the Turkish side
there are about 10000, 900 people and
practically all the men are soldiers, and
good soldiers, too.
European apprehension is not so
much concerned with the fate of the
Balkan states as with the danger of
such complications as will involve the
whole of Europe in war. So tense has
been the situation among the major
powers that it has needed but spark
to start a conflagration that would
threaten the peace of the Eastern hem
isphere. Here is the vital point in the
present Balkan war cloud. AS yet there
is no strong indication that the great
powers will be drawn into the en-
broglio and it is reasonably certain that
the utmost care will be exercised to
forestall complications that might in
volve England, France, Germany and
Russia. But the Balkan news should
be read, with view to understanding
how each event will react npon the
European entente, which today is none
too secure. Kansas City Journal.

r. Pressgrove invites everybody who
attends the fair next week and all
who come to town from time to time,
to come to his store and see how rapidly
his stock is moving at the prices which
it is being sold. Mr.. Pressgrove has
announced that he will discontinue his
business on the corner Jan. l. The gen.
tleman to whom he has sold, W. w.
Wilson, is now in the store with him;
so it behooves the careful buyer to look
and see about what is being offered
there and the prices. Mr.. Pressgrove
is one of Grenada's s best men and has a
world of loyal friends, who sincerely
regret that he is even to close out a
part of his business, regardless of how
long.

[. |. Bowman Wins.
(From Greenville, Tex, Banner. }

(From Greenville, Tex, Banner)
Yesterday evening about o'clock
the executive dommittee of the 9th ju-
dicial district brought its labors to q
close by selecting L. l.. Bowman of
this city as democratic candidate for
district attorney. The committee met
Thursday at 10 O'Clock and ballotted
during the day; 225 ballots were taken
without result. An adjournment was
taken until yesterday morning at $50,
when the ballotting was continued. At
noon the committee appeared to be no
nearer than at the beginning. The af-
ternoon session was devoted to ballot
ting, except for a short intermission
for two conferences, first between
Delta and Hopkins and second between
Hopkins and Hunt. These conferences
did not appear to bring about any
change. The ballotting was going along
as merrily as marriage bell when in
the 567th ballot L. L. Bowman of this
city secured three votes, majority,
and he was declared unanimously the
nominee.
Mr.. Bowman has resided in this city
for number of years, coming here
from Mississippi. He served the city
several years as city attorney, but
since then he has devoted his entire
time to the practice of his profession,
He has been uniformly successful and
will make the district a prosecutor of
business integrity and proficiency. He
has been kept busy since yesterday
evening receiving congratulations
from his numerous friends here and
over the district"
The above from a recent issue of the
Greenville Banner will be read with in
terest by Mr.. Bowman's many friends
in Grenada. He was at the head of
Grenada 8 city schools for several years
and took one of Grenada's fairest
daughters to be his wife-which, of
course, has had much to do with the
distinction he has attained in the Lone
Star state. He is worthy of every
trust that has been committed to him
by the people of his Texas home, and
the Sentinel congratulates them upon
electing such an able lawyer and such
an upright, honorable man to be dis
! trict attorney.

The town of Hardy, this county, has
forfeited its municipal charter. 1t is
assumed that the citizens there had
good reasons for doing what they did.
The streets there, which have been
heretofore worked by the town, will
now become public roads, at least the
principal street will, and will necessa-
rily have to be worked by the county.

To The Boys of Grenada County.

We find that very few boys have
planted and cultivated an acre of corn
under the rules of the Corn Club of
1912. Being anxious to make corn
display at the Grenada Fair on October
20, and having some premiums to spare,
we have decided tn permit any boy
in the county to compete for the premi-
ums offered by the board of super
visors.
But no boy who has not worked un-
der the rules of 1912 will be allowed to
compete with a regularly enrolled
member of the Boys Corn Club, but
will be permitted to take the premiums
left after awarding the premiums to
the regular members. So every boy in
the county Is requested to bring BUSH
el, ten ears, or a stalk of corn to the
fair. 1t makes no difference whether
or not you are member of the Corn
Club or that you raised the corn
the only condition being that it grew on
your fathers farm.
We are not offering any premiums
this year on turnips, potatoes and
peanuts, as we did last year, but you
will be allowed to compete for the pre-
miums offered by the board Of super
visors and the Fair association. (See
catalogs.)

FOLLOWS FATHERS STEPS.
Harry 7. Palmer Is Made Deputy
Sheriff of Alexandria County.

Harry T. Palmer has been APPOINTED
deputy sheriff of Alexandria county, Va,
and is now in active execution of the af-
fairs of his office. He is the son of Will
liam Palmer who was sheriff of the
county for sixteen years. Sheriff Palmer
was succeeded last November by the
late Jacob Birch, who was taken i'll on
election night and died about three
weeks ago. Sheriff Birch had appointed
George +. Marcy of Balston as his
deputy.
An active campaign to fill the vacancy
caused by Sheriff Birchs death has been
in progress for the past fortnight.
Deputy Marcy sought to retain. his posi-
ton at least and when \. III. Barbor of
Falls Church was named sheriff by Judge
j. B. T. Thornton there was reason to
believe that Deputy Marcy would re-
main to represent one of the elements of
the county democracy.
Following a conference between Judge
Thornton and members of the bar Mon
day Harry Palmer was named deputy
sheriff.
The pay of the deputy sheriff was dis
cussed by the supervisors Of the county
at a meeting yesterday. The supervisors
also received applications for new roads
and received the estimates of cost for
proposed sidewalks from County Sur
veyor Henry Crocker.
