DU'ELLINGS TO RENT NEEDED

The Sentinel has heretofore urged, at different times, the neces-
sty of having more residences built in Grenada; but the urgent need
of more dwellings is emphasized with much force OF late by the de-
mand of families at other points who want to make GRENADA their
home. We have had many inquiries for "houses to rent recently
and MANY of our citizens have commented on the fact that numer-
ous requests have been made of them for homes in our midst. All
this is highly complimentary to the location, to the health, to the
schools, to the future and to the splendid reputation the citizenship
of Grenada enjoys abroad.
Our city Justly deserves everything and much more credited to
people to make a town. 1t takes new blood and new energy to de-
velop new life and to direct along those lines that are consistent
with the life and conditions of the day.
We believe that it is not only the duty of those who have the
capital-money is but a trust committed to our hands; we can not
carrva nv of it with Is when life's htful fever is over--but that it
would be a good investment as we'll, to build a number of cottages
or modest residences in our city for rent. If one man is not inclined
to embark in such an enterprise alone, why not two, or a dozen or
more, Join together and build twenty or thirty residences. A dozen
or two houses of the same kind, or Of different kinds as to that mat
ter. can be built IN a lump contract cheaper than they could all be
built let bv single contracts. And in addition to the revenue OBJ
tanned by a rental of these houses, every occupant becomes a con-
tributor to the prosperity and the business of the town and every
business OF enterprise in our midst would reap returns in increased
sales or increased dividends. So the individual that had the largest
property interests would be the greatest beneficiary by the new cii-
zens. There can be no doubt about filling the houses. We believe
that more than a dozen could be rented within sixty days if they
were now ready.
We present this matter to our business men. If the plan herein
suggested is not feasible or practicable, let someone suggest one
that is. Grenada has the capital. There are some beautiful bust
ness lots in various parts of our town and a duty is resting upon
someone to meet the situation.

EMPRESS IND POSTAGE

NO ALUM, NO LIME PHOSPHATE

To send a ton of goods by express in this country costs over 10
times as much as to send it by freight. Express companies protest.
however that their charges are very reasonable, yielding only a
modest return upon the investment after operating expenses are
paid. 49,.
Now the next time you send a parcel by express, observe what
bappens First. the agent weighed your parcel. Next he consults
two or three cryptic rate books to see what the charge shall De-
Next he writes you a receipt. Next, ify you stay to see 1t, he makes
out a waybil, which he copies into his record of forward shipments
and fills up a statement of the forward shipments to be sent to the

Congressman Lewis of Maryland, enumeratcs eleven different
operations. exclusive of weighing the parcel and the actual forward
ing and delivery of it; but if your parcel is of malable size you can
go to the postofice, weigh it and stick on a stamp. The one oper-
alton of stamping takes the place of eleven at the express office.
No doubt you have sometimes stood FIVE minutes while the eX-
press agent simply figured out the charge on your parcel. There is
no good reason for these vastly complicated express tariffs. If the
postofice were doing the business, probably there would be a few

TTPELO JOURNAL on GO ERNOR

1t is yet too early to summarize the work of the Legislature, just
adjourned, but the people o. Mississippi have had ample time in
which to form an estimate of the executive ability of the distin-
guished gentleman who recently became governor by popular &C
claim.
The inaugural address of Governor Brewer is commonly &C
copied IS a state paper of extraordinary strength. 1t portrays a
broad grasp of public questions and indicates conclusi,ely Governor
Brewers purpose to place Mississippi in the forefront. OF the pro-
gressive states of the South. He advocated many measures of great
value TO the state. Among these measures were the court of ap-
peals and good roads, which at present are of paramount inserest to
the people,
In advocating the court of appeals, Governor Brewer displayed
a wise conservatism. The supreme court of the state is overworked
and badly behind with its decisions. Governor Brewer fully under
stands that the claws delay" destroys popular confidence in the
courts and incites the impatient to violence, which often expresses
itself in mob law.
The bill providing for good roads was a comprehensive one, and
it should have passed. In favoring this measure Governor Brewer
displayed a constructive capacity highly desirable in the chief mag
istrate of any state.
Unhappny for Mississippi, both of these measures, as we'll as
some others of unusual Importance, failed to pass. Gov. Brewer
however, is not responsible for this failure. and he need not doubt
that the people of the state who made him governor without oppo
sition, endorse his views and policies. These measures will yet crys
talyze into law. Gov. Brewer has given evidence of his eminent fit
ness for the office which he holds, and he is perfectly secure in the
confidence and esteem of Mississippians.
The Journal congratulates him upon his farseeing statesman.
ship and predicts that his administration will easily rank among the
ablest of his predecessors.

HIGHTO WEIR MADE PRESIDENT

The board of trustees, at a meeting held in Jackson on Wednes-
day of this week. unanimously elected Hon. G. R, Hightower to the
presidency of the A. & M. College at Starkville to succeed DR..
Hardy, resigned. MI. Hightower is a product of Grenada county
and his elevation to the head of one of the greatest educational in
situations in the South is a distinction conferred upon this county.
That Mr.. Hightower will worthny fill the place and will enlarge the
field of usefulness OF this already great institution, his friends feel
assured. In whatever field he has engaged his talents, he has
achieved far more than ordinary distinction and success. After
reaching his majority. the first dozen years of his life vas devoted to
school work, and he is but yet a young man. He is essentially a
school man. He has exceptional abilities as an organizer; has had
a varied experience and is a strong and forceful speaker. If there
is any man in Mississippi that should specially know the needs of a
great agricultural and mechanical school, it should be G. R. High
tower, and the Sentinel feels sure that his selection will prove to be
a very wise one.

Il RENDEZVOUS FOR LADIES FROM THE
GONNTR Y

1t occurs to us that our city could greatly increase the zone of
its country patronage by the erection Of some place where ladies
from the country might arrange their toilet, leave wraps, etc, upon
reaching town. We know of no such place in the state that has
such accommodations, but that is no reason why Grenada should not
have it. We are leaders. not followers.
Ladies from the country, who desire to spend a few hours in our
city, are dsinclined to go to a hotel, and a place to rest for a little
while would greatly enhance the attractions of our town and would
show an appreciation of our country ladies that we are sure would be
duly appreciated. Some of our merchants have provided such ac-
commodatious in a limited way in their stores, but this is not like
the ladies having quarters where they could look after the babies
and leave the little tots and have due privacy.
1t may be that suitable quarters could be arranged for in some
building already erected; if so, well and good. We believe our
growing trade demands something of the sort. Grenada is unex-
celled as a place to buy goods, There is no town IN the state that.

~FACETIOUS JOE

The brilliant and facetious Joe Richardson of the SunAower
Tocsin expresses the editors needs in the following rav language:
This is the season for planting seed, and It's also the printers
time of need, Sow radsh seed and lettuce, too. and pay the printer
whatever is his due. Go build yourself an onion bed and remember
the printer must be fed. Sow several rows of early peas and pay for
last years paper, please. Dig up the earth round each strawberry
vine and if you want the Sunhower Tocsn. drop us a line. Plant
some potatoes to put in the hash and remember the printer is short

corn and you'll raise a big crop, as sure's you're born.

Trains have been repeatedly late for the past ten days on the
Y. & M. V. main line. A condition which is doubtless caused in
part by the heavy rains which are affecting schedules on this line
and making connections at other junction points late. Neverthe-
less, it is a matter of frequent comment that the Y. & M. V. is either
short in the kind of equipment or the tracks are not properly kept
up on this branch, which is without question the largest revenue pro-

Logan. Utah, April 20, 1912.


u. A. c. THARHTHTRAHT
Mr.. A. II. SaxeI a well-known Lo-
gan man and graduate of the Utah
Agricultural college class of 1910, has
been signally honored by the Univer-
sity OF California, having received the
Whiting Research Fellowship in Ply
sizes. Mr.. Saxer for a long time was
| connected with the Ritter Drug COM
pany in Logan, later registering in the
Agricultural college. He completed
mis- work there in 1910 and has been
in California only one year so the
honor comes as an especially high
one, due Io the short time of resi-
dence.
The Whiting fellowship is a result
of beQuest of $4,000 made in 1895
by the will of Harold Whiting, form
erly professor in the university. The
yearly income from this sum is ex.
pended under the joint direction OF
the president and professor of ply
sizes OF the university. In the years
1898 to 1902 travelling fellowship to
the value of 5000 was maintained from
that income. Since 1902 two trav-
cling fellowships to the value Of 5000
each have been awarded. In cases
of distinct merit similar awards may
be made from time to time as an en-
couragement to advanced study aud
research in physics.
