CITY OFFICERS
VERY BUSY
They Invade a Few HauntS. 1lt
Majesty of the Law Upheld.
COmmendabIe Efforts.

Through the aid of certain members
of the Citizens Union, the officers OF
the city of Grenada have had some OF
the repeated offenders before the bar
of Justice during the past ten days.
The officers are to be congratulated;
some clever work has been done. 1t
took plans and persistency. This, the
Sentinel believes, is always an officers
duty. This paper has never been able
to underst nd why any sort of ethics
should be observed in experimenting a
violator of law, and more especially
one whose offense is prelneditated and
repeated. The fact is, any rule or
method for catching and dealing with
all such is all right and comports with
the officers oath and his duty to the
community. This paper has no sympa-
thy or comfort for the blind tiger ven
dor or the pistol toter-two evils which
cause seventy-five per cent of the
crime of the land.
AS the result of Marshal Halls work,
in which he had the cooperation OF
! Mayor Tatum and Deputy Marshal Mar
tin, Will Depratto's place of business
is closed and the docket of the mayor
court shows the vindication of the law
loving and the law-enforcing element
of the community. Why not keep th'
| offenders on the run? Grenada doesn'
need them. 1t is not necessary tha
anv man should violate the law to maxi
an honest living. The Sentinel congrat
ulates Mayor Tatum and Marshal Hall

My Dear Old Captain: got letter
few days since from Armistead
Leigh, with message from you which

tells me that you are now 50 years
old. When l think about it, it seems
strange. for remember you best when
you didn't appear to be over 40 years
old This makes you "A years older
than l am; didn't think there was
that much difference.

met you, and the pleasant recollection
of that little visit to Grenada will al
ways be bright spot in my memory.
My daughter Ethel remembers you
well, and she always speaks of you as
"Papa's dear old captain" She is a
girl whose heart goes out to Papa's $
friends, and she knows, Of all the old
soldiers. none of them are so dear to
me as you are. wish | could spend a
week with you to talk about old times,
old scores and many of our comrades
that are dead and buried long ago.

Armistead Fisher. At the Memphis re-
union saw Alfred Young, and when
in Grenada last l saw you and Sam
Pipkin. With the exception of these
four, l haven't seen one of my old reg
iment for a great many years
am reminded that it won't be long
till you and l will answer at the last
roll call. am ready to go, and hope
my dear old captain is ready, too. May
God bless you and leave you few
more years to be with your lovet
ones, is my earnest prayer.

and ordered the sheriff to call cnurt.
In little while the grand jury was
duly drawn and the judge proceeded
with his charge to that body. He re-
ferred to many statutes and clearly
presented the law to the jury, though
he told them that every one OF them
knew enough chimney corner law 10
do his duty. The judge was especially
impressive in what he had to say about
the blind tiger vendor and his attend
ant influences. He told the jury that
human life was too cheap in this coun-
trv and that something must be done
throughout the land to protect the good
citizen from the bloody hand OF the
murderer. The judg.'s charge was
splendid lecture was good, prac-
tical sermon and could but quicken the
best impulses in all who heard him.
The officers of the court were promp'
to re pond to every duty. Robert
West. the county's new sheriff, moveo
about with the ease and directness OF
one who is positive to his du'
ties. Circuit Clerk Ransom wore his
usual placid face, and was assisted by

and accurate deputy clerks the cour
ever had Former sheriff, Williams

GOVERNOR BREWER HERE
Was EnrOute to Water Valley to Con-
fer With the Strikers.

Governor Brewer came up from
Jackson Sunday evening and spent a
part of Sunday night at the Grenada
Hotel. He went from here to Water
Valley, where he remained Monday
comforting with the strikers, in the
hope that he might make some ADJUST
ment with them and secure personal
pledge that the railroad company be
allowed to pursue its work there In
the shops, unmolested, thereby en-
abling the Governor to call OIL the
troops and save the expense to the
state necessarily incurred by keeping
the soldiery on the ground.

Shot taffeta trimming is a feature
of new spring hats.
Just at present Paris is enthusiastic
over the new rhinestone trimmings.
New handbags show the continued
use of fabrics in preference to leather.
White velvet, perishable and pretty,
is growing in favor for millinery, but.
like all things white, must be spotless
or 1t is inexcusable.
Chiffon wells are not worn at all OK
cept for motoring and when lace wells
are worn they are snugly pinned in SO,
that there are no floating ends.
The new changeable taffetas come in
double width and are most advan-
tsgeous for cutting. Many exquisite
combinations are to be had for sepa-
rate waists, a lovely combination being
gold and the new hydrangea blue.
Chased gold bands are among the
most fashionable adornments for the
hair. Three narrow bands are used
for the classic couture now in vogue
or a much wider single band. Grapes
and leaves form one of the most effec-
tive designs for these gold bands.

Ferns grow more rapidly If changed

To place the ported fern in a pan
containing boiling water is a splendid
thing to induce growth. The heat
forces the nourishment into the fronds
and kills worms and insects which may
be damaging the roots. However, this
will not kill the worms who live near

great enough.

B%roadcloth of light weight is one of
dresses this season. This one is braid
ed with silk cord and is distinctive
both in The and treatment. The blouse
is made with the new sleeves sewed
into big armholes, and the skirt is cut
in two pieces only with a seam at each
side. In this instance it is made over
a lining and it includes undersleeves

sleeves of the blouse and finished With

newest and smartest, but If something

tremely handsome, but this same model
could be used for the taffeta that is

trimmed suitably. There is a great
tendency to use trimmings of h ma

and taffeta made in this way would
be in the height Of style. These edges
are piped but corded edges are new
and the seams of the skirt, the arm
