sterilized to keep milk conditions OF
the city up to the standard.

3,501 PLEAD FOR
CHARTER REFORM

Inspired by the success Of the post
card referendum charter. leaders to-
day are preparing 10 make another
vigorous fight before Council to get
popular election on the new charter
issue.
A count Of the postcards received by
Paul p. Reese, secretarysof the Citi-
zeDs' Charter Reform Committee,
shows that more than $500 have been
received. A conservative estimate is
that from 1900 to $500 more viii be
received from the 1900 sent out AS
soon as they are all in, they viii be
given TO an auditor TO be officially
counted and checked with the regis
tration list
Backed by this popular demand the
Citizens Committee Of 100 will go
before Council and urge that the char
ter Of the Committee Of % and the
charter Of Council be submitted 10
the people at an election within so
days
Council has refused to consider the
charter Of the Committee Of 25, and
provided that it's charter 20 TO the
Legislature before being submitted to
the people.
The forceful and indignant protest
against the action Of Council in dis
regarding the popular movement for
real charter reform is made more
striking by comments on many Of the
cards
We must rise IN our might and
turn them all out" wrote one.
1T Is time for us TO blow mp that
steam roller and exile the engineers"
said another
Il am ready 20 fight 10 the last
ditch" was one comment.
So all through the great stacks Of
cards IS evidenced the popular de-
mand for reform.
The cards have not been counted,
but Paul Eeese said there were fully

numbers When the returns are COM

More Merchants AdyertiSinq.

The Sentinel has several new adver-
tising contracts this season Only this
week hardware firm of Grenada,
which has done no advertising for
years, contracted for twelve months
advertising and proposes to make things
lively in their line. Besides this, there
are several other advertising firms-all
of which shows that there is an awak-
ening in Grenada and that the people
of this trade territory may expect to
get better bargains from the merchants
of this city than ever before. Ar ad-
vertising merchant can afford to give
the trade better bargains and does do
so. The reason for this grows out of
the fact that the advertising merchant
turns his money over oftener and can
therefore afford to sell at less profit.
The trade loses money and does itself
an injustice when it fails to visit the
store of the advertising merchant be-
fore making purchases.

The Houston Tragedy.

The town of Houston, Miss, will suf-
fer for many years from the horrible
tragedy enacted there last week. The
killing of sweet, good woman by a
negro brute was too revolving to entitle
the perpetrator to anything except a
speedy execution. He placed himself
beyond the pale of human considera-
ton. yet we can hardly understand how
any christian people, outside of the i'm
mediate family who had every reason to
feel outraged and to desire to wreak
summary vengeance, could have
wrought themselves up to the pitch to
burn even the perpetrator of so das-
tardly crime, and the worst feature
of the affair is that they hanged an in
nocent negro. Mobs represent the
aggregated thought of maddened and
infuriated people, hence are always
dangerous and are to be deplored. The
hanging of an innocent negro, as in
THO case, proves their danger and
shows that they are to be discouraged
by every good citizen.

desire to say to the taxr ayers of
Grenada county that | am now on my

to note the fact that in some respects

anything we have had before For ex-
ample: The law requires all cultivable
land assessed, the number of acres
of wild and uncutivated land, exclud-
ing timber estimated number of feet of
timber thereon and the value of the
timber. | hope the taxpayers will as
certain how their lands are situated rel
ative to the above requirements and
hence be prepared to act intelIigentiy
when | call on them. ] would appreci-
ate it very much if those who have oc-
casion to come to Grenada will give me
an opportunity to assess them while
here.
In cities and villages the lots with
improvements are assessed separately
from those having Improvements.

CIRCUIT COURT
CONCLUDES
What the Term Cost--Coun-
ty is Ahead.

The winter term of the circuit court
OF Grenada county came to a close last
Saturday afternoon after a busy ses-
sion OF two weeks. County officials and
everybody else who had business with
the court were lavish in their praises of
Judge Teat, not only for the very COM
mendable manner with which he dis
patched the business of the court,
thereby saving the taxpayers hundreds
OF dollars. but for the fairness of his
rulings and for his clear enunciation of
the law. He is quick to catch a propo-
sition and shows ready and a compre-
hensive grasp of every legal question
brought to his attention. 1t would be
idle to conceal the fact that the Senti-
mel is pleased that Judge Teat is giving
such general satisfaction. And in stat
ing that he is doing this, there is no
reflection on the very excellent gen.
tlemen and able lawyers who have pre-
ceded him on the bench of this judicial
district. 1t is to Judge Teat's credit
that he has profited by their experience
and that he is improving on the splen-
did standards set by them. He is man
easy of approach and is animated by a
desire to enforce the law and raise the
standard of citizenship of the district.
There were three sent to the peniten-
tiary, one of whom, Lee Mahan, was a
white man. Mahan was sent up for
bigamy. He submitted his case to the
court and in some respects his story
was pathetic one. He was sent to the
penitentary from another county for
horse stealing, and he stated that when
he returned home he found his first
wife keeping an designation house, and
aside from his term in prison, he was
of the opinion, he said, that this gave
him divorce. He is an ignorant sort
of fellow, but his treatment of his
last wife and his general appearance is
calculated to make one believe that the
penitentiary is the proper place for him.
From the debit and credit items
which appear below it will be seen that
the court cost the taxpayers S3110. 81
and that in fines and Jail sentences they
had returned to them 1886. 90, a very
| fine showing indeed:
