that will give public notice as to who
owns and carries concealed weapon.
We desire to congratulate the Judges
of the supreme court of this state upon
the facts rather than upon technicaii-
ties. We are pleased that the court
announces that it will not reverse cases
solely upon technicalities.
Our organizations throughout the
country have gone on record time after
time in favor of parcels post law, and
we are pleased that Congress has at
last made step in that direction; but
we fear the demands of the express
companies and the petitions from mer-
chants associations were more potent
in framing the law than the needs of
the great body of the people. II the
law is not what it should be, We want
to serve notice now on the national leg
lislators from our state that no half
way measure can sing lullaby TO our
lneeds.
The taxes paid by the express com
5 panles OF our state are very lnslgnih-
= cant as compared to the great volume
v of business these corporations do in our
: midst. We therefore urge upon the
e law making body of our state the ne
n cessity of making these concerns con
Y tribute to the public treasury in pro
" portion to the amount of money the.
It collect from the people. A percentag
j. tax, based upon the gross receipts iron
their various offices in the state. in Oh

r. We desire to go on record as endor'
:, ing the movement for better publ
i highways throughout the state, and "
,f think it would be well for the legisla
70 ture to provide for the working of som
n. of the convicts, part, if not all OF Il
re time, on our public roads.

A Correction.

Several weeks ago there appeared in
the Sentinel an item in regard to some
gentlemen playing detective and their
efforts to capture what they thought to
be thief. The item was based on
written communication from a citizen
of Elliott which the Sentinel deemed
reliable. Since then this paper has
been informed that the affair was a
''hoax. and Mr.. Claud Heath asks to
to have his name disassociated from
the matter. This should have been
done in the issue Of the Sentinel OF
Sept. ls. but was overlooked. The Sen
tinel hopes no one has been injured by
the article. The greatest care Is al
ways exercised to get the facts before
publication is made Of any matter ane
| it might not be amiss here to say thai
| this paper feels sure that its informant
meant nothing unkind to anybody.

Death of Little Child.

The death of little child means bur
led hopes, blghted love, bleeding hearts
and distress of soul to loving parents
At this time MIR. and Mrs. G. A. Beatty
of Grenada are in sadness over the 60
ing away of their little five-year old
daughter, Francis Elose. She died on
Wednesday night, October %. of some
throat affection. She was bright,
attractive child and had entwined her
self into the love and affection of all
who knew her. Those who have expe-
rienced similar distresses know that the
wound is never healed; there will be q
SIGH and the heart will feel strangely
when thoughts of the departed little
one cross the memory, which will be
daily. But the parents should know
that she is with the angels, that she
is in that blissful abode where there rs
nothing to mar happiness or serenity of
spirit. May her life constantly WOO
the loved ones behind to travel the
pathway that leads heavenward. where
they shall be sure to see her again.
What a benediction is the ministry Of 4
little child! The Sentinel tenders sin
cerest sympathy to the sorrowing.

Leroy BOyIeS PdrOled.

The public will no doubt remember
that several boys were tried at the Au-
gust term of the circuit court in this
county upon the charge of burglary
and among them was one Leroy Boyles
of Memphis. Boyles was convicted and
sentenced to a term of six months in
the state penitentiary. A petition was
circulated and published asking Gov.
Brewer to parole the lad upon the con-
dition that he be carried at once to a
Reformatory school and kept there.
J4dge Mclean, who sentenced the boy,
recommended the parole. and many OF
the best citizens of Grenada signed the
petition, and the Governor acted favor
ably on same Thursday of last week
The father of the boy evidently bears
good name in Memphis. He filed som'
fine endorsements with the Governor.

imously adopted by the Union:
We, the undersigned, your legisla-

following report:
We desire to extend the thanks OF
the Farmers Union of Mississippi to
the legislative committee, whose duty
it was to present certain recommends

last January, and we also desire to ex-
press our appreciation of the valuable
and efficient work done by the members
of the union who were also members
of that legislature.
Recent failures of banks in Misss-
ippi admonish the people of the me-
cessity of legislation that will protect
the public against mushroom banks and
the dishonest bank official; we there
fore urge upon the Legislature the ne

will safeguard the interests of deposit

managed banks, make the distress Incl

and from points just as far distant
westward. The crowd was jubilant and
delighted with the events of the day.
The feature Of the day for which ev-
cry neck was craned and every eye
alert was the ascension of the airship.
At 3:l5 o'clock Jas. McGrath, the avi-
ator, and his manager, w. H. Chap
pei, assisted by the owners manager,
E. j. Marley, and number of others,
brought the machine from under the
shelter where it is kept and after
making a full test of all its parts,
McGrath guided it into the elements
as beautifully as bird could fly. He
went up and up and around the fair
grounds to distance of six thousand
feet. When he was ready to descend
to the ground, the ships wings dipped
most artistically and came to the earth
without a single hitch. The great crowd
applauded and rs many as could shook
the hand Of the aviator.
McGrath was here also Thursday and
today friday and will make his
!, greatest fight this afternoon.
McGrath is sturdy little lrishman.
There is something really magnetic
about the fellow. He has been in
America several years, but gained most
[ of his experience as aviator in France.
When his machine was gotten ready
for its flight, he was seen to leave thu
grounds in an automobile, which natu
: rally excited the curiosity Of the grea
: crowd. Upon inquiry, a Sentinel rep
resentative learned that he came t.
town to seek the quietude Of his owl
lroom at the hotel for the purposes o
y lprayer, something he never fails to d

The Central Fair and Livestock Show
suened Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock
amid the hurrahs of Thousands. The
music started on, the public square and
proceeded to the fair grounds. This was

indeed to say which excelled. Certainly

uartiality will be charged if it is stated
that the automobile representing A.

ton. It contained four of Grenada's
mettiest young ladies in the persons OF
Misses Dora Adams, Addie Young, Ro-

first premium for best decorated vehi
Gle, and she richly deserved it.
Everything was ip readiness at tn
fair grounds, where the display OF ag
rcultural exhibits would startle almos
anybody. The livestock departmen
made highly creditable showing.
There has undoubtedly been YER
great improvement in the stock of th'
section, and the fair here, which ma
been an institution now for over twent
years, has been no small factor
bringing about this result. There wer
some as fine milch cows to be see
there as were ever known in this SCI
ton. The .raisers of swine, too, are

But for the prevalence Of hog choiel
in some communities there would hay
