topple and fall-or worse still, become
the subject of slow, but sure decay.
Our prosperity for all classes and call
ings, in town and country, depends up
on successful agriculture. Successful
agriculture means to restore, reclaim
and preserve our land. No one thing
to this en1 is more important than
drainage, and as related to the largest
bodies of the best land along the river
and lower reaches of the creeks in our
county, it is the prerequisite, without
which it can not be restored, reclaimed
or preserved. And the basis of effect
i've, permanent drainage for all such
land is an open channel for the Yalobu-
sha river.
What say those most Immediately IN
terested, about cleaning out the river
from Grenada to its junction with the
Tallahatchie north of Greenwood!

INFORMATION AS TO
ROAD BUILDING.
U. S. Senator Asks Question. Federal
Government TO Give Aid.

AS evidence of the spirit of road
building throughout the United States,
below is given a letter recently sent
out from Washington City by United
States Senator Bourne of Oregon:
My Dear Sir: ! am very anxious to
obtain for the benefit of the Joint Com
mittee, an intelligent expression of pub
lie opinion on the basic questions in
volved in the granting of Federal aid
in road improvement. 1t occurs to me
you might like to cooperate in this mat
ter to the extent of stimulating the
public to an expression of their views.
If this suggestion strikes you favor
ably, will you kindly advise me as early
as practicable as to public opinion in
your section of the country on the fol-
lowing questions:
/ Should the Government make ap-
preparations in aid of public roads?
2 On what roads should the first
Government appropriation, if made, be
expended: (a) all roads; (b) post roads
| (r. f. d. and star routes); (c) main
| travelled market roads; (d) main high
ways connecting important cities and
towns in state; (e) trunk line, inter-
state highways connecting state capi-
tails and large cities?
| 8 Should the Government apDropr-
alton be expended on construction, on
maintenance, on general improvement.
or on any or all of these, or should the
| allotment by the Government be un-
conditional, or paid as a reward after
local authorities have constructed or
maintained highway in good condi-
tion?
What proportion of cost of con-
struction, improvement or maintenance
should be borne by the National Gov
ernment, State, county, road district,
and abutting property owners, respect
lively, or what amounts should be al
lotted to the States on an unconditional
plan, or what amounts per mile should
be paid as rewards?
Should the Federal appropriations
be apportioned among the States on a
basis of population. area. mileage of
roads, mileage of rural and star routes,
taxable valuation, or combination of
these?
Should the supervision of construc-
tion or maintenance of Government
aided roads be by the Federal Govern
ment, the State and local authorities,
or jointly?
Kindly let me know in what manner
you submit these questions to the peo-
pie of your community. and how soon
you can probably report the concensus
of opinion.
Yours very truly,
Jonathan Bourne,
Chairmanj

CENTRAL HOTEL BURNS.
Fire Last Sunday Afternoon.

The New Central Hotel caught fire
last Sunday afternoon. The blaze was
discovered about o'clock, the fire orig
mating from the kitchen. The fire
company was on hand in very few
minutes after the alarm was given, but
owing to the peculiar structure of the
building and the fact that the fire had
gained such headway before being dis
covered, between the ceiling of the up
per story and the roof, the water failed
to reach the spot. A terrific fight was
made to hold back the flames and at
least save part of the building and if
possible prevent the flames from reach
ing adjoining residences. In this par
ticular the fight was successful. The
hotel may properly be said to be COM
plete wreck. The building was the
property of w. B. Hoffa, who had but
recently put in about $4,000 in improve
ments in the way of heating plant
and other modern conveniences in the
property. The total insurance on the
building was only $4,000, which was
hardly half its value. H. W. Davis was
managing the hotel and his loss on his
furniture and fixtures is heavy also,
while a great deal of the furniture and
bedding was gotten out, yet it was nee
essarily so roughly handled that much
of that which was saved is OF little
value. As usual on such occasions, a
large crowd gathered to watch the fire,
and the day being Sunday, many were
not engaged at anything else, which of
course served to augment the number
of onlookers.

City Digging Another Well.

The city council has made contract
with j. A. Pollard Well Co. for anoth-
er we'll at the power plant, and work
has already begun on same.
AS the Sentinel understands, it now
costs the city about SC per thousand
gallons to pump the water into the
standpipe The daily consumption av-
erages about 100000 gallons, which
would make total cost to the city of
SIG per day. 1t would appear that
plans could be devised whereby this
could be very much lessened. The rail-
road uses at Grenada approximately
300 900 gallons of water per day, the
pumping of which costs the company
&c per NJ. gallons. Of course it can
readily be seen that it requires great
er pressure to handle the city water
than for the railroad company to ham
die its water, but the difference should
not be so great as it is with the proper
equipment at the power plant. The to-
tai cost of the power plant for the last
fiscal year was SIS, 2S2. SO.

King Cotton Seed
Makes Crop Sure

Life is full of uncertainties, and in the
search for material reward no sensible
person would refuse sure thing. Ex-
perience and observation teaches that
many sections have suffered and almost
been ruined by the boil weevil. The
Agricultural department at Washing
ton emphasizes the fact that to make
sure fight against the pest it is abso-
lutely necessary to grow a cotton that
natures early. Knowing this, Jno. P.
Jones & Co. have purchased carload
of the KING COTTON SEED, the most
widely known variety of early matur-
ing cotton in the South. See this firm
now about few bushels for planting.

fered indescribable torture from rheu.
matism, liver and stomach trouble and
diseased kidneys, writes: "All reme-
dies failed until used Electric Bitters,

Real Estate Changes Hands.

Two real estate deals of general in
terest to the people of this county were
made this week. B. E. Moore, who
has been in the drug business in Gren-
ada for several years, bought what was
formerly known as the Temple farm,
about FIVE miles north of town. There
are about 1900 acres in the tract.
A. C. Leigh sold his farm east of
Hardy for $4,000. The purchasers were
Hurst & Faris, non-residents.
All this goes to show the faith that is
being shown in the agricultural future
of this county.

In spite of the fact that the visitors
drew first blood in the shape of three
runs in the first spasm, the locals yes.
terday finally landed a victory from
Brunswick in the tenth inning the
score being 7 to 6 in their favor. 4
was a game chock full of extra thrills
even before the tenth inning arrived
and the fans enjoyed it,
Wolfe was on the mound for the To-
calls and with the exception of the frs
inning when a costly error of his al
lowed three runners to cross the plate
pitched very good ball, though he was
touched up for eleven hits. Hartner
the crack southpaw of the visitors, was
on the firing line for the Pilots, hav
ing surrendered ten hits. Wolfe's nif-
ty work in tanning three batters, the
first three men up, in the tenth in
ming, was notable.
Not until the fourth inning did the
locals score Hamlin, with two down
BIT to ,shortstop and was safe on err
ror. Manchester slammed the ball
against right field fence, scoring Ham
lin. Wolfe flied out to Schuler in CEN
ter, who made a sensational catch of a
ball right against the fence.
The locals scored again in the sew
enth, which, indeed, proved lucky.
Manchester hit down first base lin :,
safe on error of first baseman. Wolfe
singled to right. Bowen singled t.
right, filling the bases. Reilly hit to
shortstop, forcing Manchester out at
home Griffin hit to second, forcing
Wolfe out at home. Kuhlman hit past
second, giving the timely bingle that
scored Bowen and Reilly. Chancey
walked Werner, batting for Dacey,
famed with the bases full.
Two more runs were showed over in
the eighth, when Manchester was safe
at first after hitting a slow one to-

WINTER HAS
GONE AGAIN.
IT'S SUMNER! !
COLD WAVELET HAS WAVED
Good Weather Again for Farm

Surely the first spring day brought

Surely the first spring day brought
no more genial warmth and sat
isfaction than did yesterdays sunshine
and higher temperatures. 1t was as
if one had suddenly been immersed in
winter only to be yanked by the scruft
of the neck out of the cold back into
the spring sunshine again.
Once more the pawn broker should
dc a rushing business, as the young
blood who was compelled to get his
overcoat out of hook may once more

which to bet on the ball game and
buy soda water Once more summer
is with us, and peaches and blackber-
ries look natural-theres no snow on
them.
The mercury swung back to season
able temperatures yesterday the first
time since last Sunday. Those three
days had as many different kinds OF
weather as were ever let loose from
Pandora's box or any other prison for
the incarnation of unreasonable mon
strosities. But the fans and the farm
ers may both rejoice now, as the
weather is fine for both baseball and
chopping cotton.
