Prof. Dean Dies at UvaIde, Texas.

On Monday of this week the editor of
this paper received telegram from
DR.. B. M. Hines at Uvalde, Texas,
stating that Prof. H. A. Dean had
just passed away The news will be
received with sadness by the hundreds
of former students of this great old
man. scattered through the South.
For years he was one of the leading
educational forces in the state. AS the
head of the Iuka Normal Institute, he
paved the way for the splendid educa-
tional system that Mississippi now en-
joys. He did perhaps more for the pub
lie school system of the state than any
man who had ever lived up to his day.
He did great work. He reached out
into the highways and brought to she
front boys and girls, young men ane
young women, whose talents and am
bitions would have otherwise remained
uncultivated. He put life into thu
teaching force of the state. Aside from
his work as an educator, he was a mar
of great soul and of the noblest en-
deavors. He was confiding friend,
safe counselor and leader among men
He lived the three-score and ten year
and the writer feels sure that he ha
entered upon that reward that is pre-
pared for the faithful.

There is a tradition of little sIum

pointed with the country, where he
went for a short holiday, Lecause he
saw them pump milk from dirty old

Is within realization, for, according to
"L'Opinion," after manufactured but

The Chinese drop a few grains of pow

the bean so as to enable the milk pow

Joe Amos Kills Alex Williams.

On Sunday night about II O'Clock
Joe Amos shot and killed Alex Will
Jams at the residence of the former.
about five miles south of Grenada, in
the vicinity of Elliott. Joe is about
81 years old and owns a little farm and
has always been good and industrious
negro. Alex Williams lived on the
Simpson place and was prowling around
Joe's house and Joe evidently mistook
him for one West Peacock, alias
Brooks, who was an escaped county
convict and who had treated one of
Joe's daughters rather roughly some
time Sunday while she was on the road
somewhere in a buggy. West Peacock
has since been arrested and is now :ir
jail. Amos committing trial will be
held later.

breaches to School.

Rev. j. c. Carothers preached the
commencement sermon to the students
of the Grenada graded schools on last
Sunday. His text was: 81 must be
about my fathers business" which he
handled in a most convincing manner
and sought to bring the lesson to the
children that God had mission for
each one to perform and that that one
which endeavors to know Gods will
and makes an earnest effort to do His
will was the happiest and came the
nearest to meeting the heavenly re-
uuirement. He plead for christian lives
among the children; with christian chill
dren, he argued, there was no doubt
about having christian men and women.
The life that set out to meet life S
problems without Christ was, as gath
cred from the discourse, like the ship
that undertook the perilous voyage of
the ocean without chart and compass
and without lifeboats. Mr.. Carothers,
in the beginning of his sermon, read
from the scriptures this lesson, that
should ring, echo and re-echo in the
hearts of every boy and of every girl
Fear God and keep his command
ments for this is the whole duty OF
man." His deductions were, that wher
God was sought and ones christian
duty performed that all other necessary
things would be given every human be-
ing. 1t was indeed very appropriate
discourse and it is to be hoped that al
who heard it will mediate upon its
teachings.

give you a few items of the trip from
dear old Mississippi, through Louisiana,
Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Cali

We were surprised to see the many
millions of acres of untitled land in the
states of New Mexico, Arizona and
California; also the::wide area of desert

the snow-capped mountains. lifting their
heads several thousand feet above the
sea level, one as much as 5000 feet.
We travelled through many thousands
of acres of fruit orchards. We came
to the Italian vineyard of 10000 acres
Just before reaching Los Angeles. But
here think of one thing failed to
mention and that is the Yuma tribe of
Indians, at Yuma, Arizona. We saw
many of them with bead bags and clay
pots for sale, and to all appearances as
uncivilized as in Robinson Cruso 5 time.
And next we came to the Colorado river
and crossed same into Colorado; on the
Colorado side saw the largest irrigation

JUDGE LONGSTREET DEAD.
Ind Comes Unexpectedly in Chicago. Many Hundreds
OF Prominet Men Attend Funeral in This City.
WAS ONE OF STATES MOST BELOVED MEN.

When the news reached Grenada at a
late hour last Saturday afternoon that
Judge j. c. Longstreet was dead, a
gloom was cast over the city the like of
which it has not known for many years.
1t was known only to small number
OF friends that the Judge was very
sick man, or that he was even i'll at all.
He died in Chicago, where he went a
few weeks ago in the hope that he
might secure medical aid that would
relieve him of malady that he HIM
self feared would prove fatal All the
science of medicine and the most skilled
nursing was at his command, but the
Grim Reaper had marked him for a
victim and the edict would not be
stayed. Besides his two half brothers,
Lamar and D. G. Ross, he was attended
at the time of his death by faithful
old colored woman, "Aunt Jane,' who
was as tender in her devotions and as
careful about the patient as a dis
tressed mother.
The remains reached Grenada Mon
day, and after funeral services at the
Episcopal church, were laid to rest in
Odd Fellows cemetery that afternoon.
| Besides almost the entire community,
there was large number of friends
from Jackson and other places present
at the funeral to pay tribute to the
dead and to show how highly they es.
teemed him. A special car was rur
from Jackson which contained many o1
the devoted friends of the deceased
from the benevolent order of Elks ant
from the Masonic lodge of that city.
The active pail bearers were: Cowle.
Horton, W. A. Campbell and DR.. J. w
Ousler of this city, and Albert George
Julian Morrison, F. l.. Craddack, j. A
POI ter and Fred Sullens of Jackson.
There was perhaps never funeral il
the state that was attended by NOR
distinguished company. Among thos
) from Jackson were Governor Brewer
Chief Justice Robert B. Mayes, Ex
Chief Justice Whitfield, Gen. Stirling
and a score of others. Ex-Governo

rowing friends. From Chicago ther
were several of the Judges person;

Gods Estimate of Men,.

When most men make their esti-
mates of their fellows, they look at
their bank account and their worldly
position; but when God estimates them,
he looks down into their hearts and ex-
amines their motives. If they are bad,
he turns from them; but if they are
good, he welcomes them. In his judg-
ment nothing counts but moral and in
tellectual worth. In his esteem, money
and position are mere accidents, but
character is eternal. Texas Christian
Advocate.

The Dainty Flour Ad.

How many flour concerns will back
their -four strongly enough to advertise
it week after week in newspaper and
thereby invite criticism and compari-
son? This concern has been advertis-
ing their flour in the Sentinel for a
number of weeks and it affords this pa
per pleasure to say that it is THE
BEST FLOUR FOR THE MONEY
ON THE MARKET 1t will please
anybody, ana when once you begin to
use it, you will have none other. 1t is
perhaps the most widely sold flour II
the Union. If your dealer does moi
handle it, ask for it so that he will gel
it. Your wife wants it.

mess house in Grenada closed for the
funeral.
Judge J. C. Longstreet was born at
Macon, Ca, in 1858, and descended
from one of the most distinguished
families in the South. His father, the
Hon. j. c. Longstreet, was distin-
guished member of the Georgia bar,
and cousin of Gen. James Longstreet,
that intrepid and dauntess leader of
the Confederacy. His mother was a
sister of the late Judge L. @. c. Lamar,
of the United States supreme court,
one of the brilliant galaxy of states
men produced by Mississippi by the
Civil War period. She was afterwal Ids
married to Mr.. Ross, father Of Mr..
Lamar Ross, junior member of the firm
of Mayes & Longstreet.
Judge Longstreet graduated from
the literary department of Emory Col
lege, and from the law department of
the University of Mississippi in 1878,
when but twenty years of age. He was
the first honor graduate in class of
81 members, large majority of whom
have since distinguished themselves in
public life.
He began the practice of law in Gren.
ada and soon after coming here formed
a partnership with the late Col. J. j
Slack, which continued until Mr. SLACK
was chosen district attorney. Gov
McLaurin appointed him Chancellor O.

tues that beget interest and that send

they come in contact. The writer has
heard it said OF him that che was never
heard to speak harshly of anybody"-a
most remarkable tribute, indeed.
Blended with all these heaven born
characteristics was a towering intel
lect and cultured mind that equipped
him for any duty and that marked him
as one of natures noblemen. His mind
was stored with the richest in liter
ature and all that was aesthetic and
chaste in the classics had been appro-
priated by his mind in a way to add to
his remarkably natural endowments.
! He would have adorned any post; he
was capable of meeting the gravest
trust.
Besides being Chancellor, he was
twice a representative in the legisla-
ture from this county. His name was
many different times connected with i'm
portant official trusts, but he could
never be induced to become a cand-
date. AS a lawyer, he was regarded
as among the best in the state, and the
fact of his attorneyship for great
railroad is proof of the fact that his
legal talents were of the highest order.
While he was Chancellor, he married
the widow of the late Col. W. N. Pass
