Former Grenada COuntian Dies.

The many friends and acquaintance
of Mr.. and Mrs. F. l.. Crump, who
moved from this county to Collins,
Miss, about l5 years ago, will be
panied to learn of the death of their
eldest son, Homer, who died at Alfalfa,
Ala, on the llth inst. Mr.. Crump was
managing the compress at Alfalfa and
was evidently held in high esteem there.
The Alfalfa Herald paid beautiful
tribute to him and so did the CONNER
cial of Collins.
The remains were carried back 10
Collins for interment, where there was
great outpouring of the citizens to
pay their last tribute.
He was a member of the Methodist
church, and the words of the minister
about the character of his departed
friend were beautiful indeed. He is
survived by his wife and little daugh-
ter, besides his father and mother and
numerous other relatives, among them
being Walter Crump and family of this
county, to all of whom the Sentinel
extends coincidence.

Smiling Pearson Gets His Change.

j. Overton Pearson will be conspicu-
GUS for his absence from the Mogul
diamond next season. He gets his
chance in bigger league, and while he
will be missed by the fans, nobody be-
grudges him the opportunity to make
good in faster company.
A telegram to President Holland
from Manager Geo. Kalkoff states that
a deal has just been made by which
Pearson becomes a member of the
pitching staff of the Jacksonville, Fla,
team. Negotiations have been on for
several weeks to this end, but the pa
pers We're not signed till Saturday.
Pearson has been member of the
Hopkir vile team two seasons and his
work Las been highly satisfactory. He
has cool head, all sorts of curves,
plenty of speed and fine control. All he
needs is a chance to show his goods.
He is liked over the league for the sun
ny grin which ornamented his counten-
ance whenever he was perched on the
mound.
The above from the columns of a
Hopkinsville, KY, paper Will be en-
joyed by Overton's home people anC
friends. who congratulate him on hi:

COTTON CROP ESTIMATE.
Commercial Appeal Puts Figures for
1913 Cotton Crop al 3,572.
600 Bales.

Last Monday morning the CONNER
cial Appeal printed the following:
The Commercial Appeal estimates the
growth of this years cotton crop at 49,
572, 900 bales. These figures do not in
clude hnters.
The estimate is based on the answers
of correspondents from all parts of the
cotton bet, and represent careful in
quiries on their part into the size of the
crop in their sections.
The hot weather during late August
and early September brought about an
early opening of the crop, and it is
probable that larger percentage has
been picked to date than ever before
known. The high place paid for the
staple has resulted in a rush by the
farmers to get their product to market,
there being almost no holding reported
A few instances of holding for higher
prices are reported from districts where
heavy rains damaged the grade, and
farmers refuse to take the price bid
for the low grades. These are very
few, however.
Damage from frost was confined al
most exclusively to eastern Ark adsas,
where much damage was done in the
overflowed territory, and to the east
ern states, North Carolina having suf-
fered especially heavy in this regard.
Staple is said to be fairly good in the
east, but much damage has resulted in
the central and western portions of the
belt from heavy rains in September.

Supervisors Raise Banks Assessment

A somewhat unique legal proposition
has been raised by the board of super
visors of Grenada county in fixing the
assessment of the Grenada Trust &
Banking Company of this city. The
capital stock of said bank is $40, 900.
Its surplus, including the bank building,
is 1900, which the bank holds is all
with which it should be assessed. The
supervisors assessed the bank for $685.
600, evidently basing their position upon
the fact that the market value of the
stock of the bank is approximately
for and that the stockholders of the
bank are realizing interest on two
dollars or thereabout for every dollar
invested. The bank offered its sworn
statement in support of its position, but
it seems that the supervisors were sat
isfied in their own minds with the cor
rectness of the position they had taken,
which, if adhered to by that body, will
put the question up to the courts for
settlement.
1t is an interesting question that has
been raised and if the supervisors are
sustained, will cause much shifting
about in the banking business of the
state.

Grenada Needs a Hall.

Grenada needs a good, spacious, safe
auditorium, one that would comfortably
seat at least thousand people. The
Citizens of this town show by a liberal
patronage spirit that they like to be
entertained, zen masse," which makes
them deserving of modern public hall,
safely built and properly managed. In
deed, such commodity is among the
indispensibles in any place of Grenada g
size. Is there a patriot among US who
will come to the fore and supply this
long felt want? Such an one would
have the proud satisfaction of knowing
that he was eminent among that class
generally known as benefactors Of the

MA6NESS CASE AFFIRMED
Supreme Court Hands Down Decision
Monday Affirming Alfalfa Jury's
Verdict and Lite Sentence.

The state supreme court last Monday
handed down an opinion which affirmed
the verdict of the jury of Alfalfa coun-
ty last March in the case of the state
VS.. A. P. Magness, charged with the
murder of George Gillon in this county
in January, 1912. Magness goes to the
penitentiary for life.
The Sentinel readers will recall that
Magness was tried in this county i'm
mediately after the killing, court being
in session at the time, and he was sem
fenced to be hanged the 22nd of March,
1912. An appeal was taken to the state
supreme court, which tribunal reversed
the findings of the lower court, chiefly
on the grounds that Magness was tried
out of term, and in this position the
states highest legal tribunal was un-
doubtedly correct. At the January
term of the court change of venue
was asked for by Magness' attorneys
and the case was transferred to the
county of Alfalfa with the above re-
suit.
Magness has been in jail ever since
his first arrest. Since his conviction at
Kosciusko, he has been confined
in the Jail at Rosedale. He aSk ed for a
transfer to that county for The reason
that his family had moved to Bolivar
county, after having disposed Of their
property interests near Sabougla.
1t is needless to recite the details of
the tragedy that led to Magness' con-
viction. 1t is we'll that the book is
closing upon the affair that brought
sorrow and death to one home and
something equally as deplorable to the
other.
Magness had killed one man before
he had killed Gillon, and was tried in
this county on q change of venue ano

College BOYS
ATTAIN RESULTS
AS HAY RAISERS
EXPERIMENT At SCHOOL HERE
Proved Very Satisfactory to
These Farmers

Out at the beautiful farm of the
Third District Agricultural college,
the young farmers have been making
experiments in hay-raising this year
and with results that surpassed their
expectations. The crop has just been
harvested; and the sale of the many
tons of hay will add materially to the
cash fund from the farm.
Particular attention was given two
acres this year, and these acres have
melted fine crops of oats and hay.
One acre was fortified a year ago
with lime, at a cost of $3.50 per ton.
Only a half ton, costing 1925, was put
upon the acre of land. Both acres
were then fortified alike with meal,
acid, etc
In the spring beth acres were plant
ed with oats, and a splendid crop pro-
duced, that upon the ''limed" acre pro-
ducing the larger crop. After the oats
were harvested the land was planted
in peas for a hay crop. This crop has
been gathered, and Supt. j. M. Collum,
who takes great interest in these agri-
cultural experiments, announces the
result
From the Timed" acre the Toys have
gathered $3.50 pounds dry, well-cured
hay-very nearly two tons From the
adjoining acre of un-limed land the
yield in cured hay was 2440 pounds, or
nearly one and one-fourth tons. The
difference was LAO pounds hay in
favor of the acre upon which the coat
ing of lime was placed last year.
This is very nearly three-fourths CT
ton worth about SIG in value o.
the hay, which is easily worth $25 per
ten.
