expected it will be week or longer

COUNCIL SAYS PAVE.
Contract to Pave FIRST Street and
Public Square. Bonds Sold.

The Sentinel takes very great pleas
ure in stating that the city council at
its meeting this week not only con-
firmed contract with the Creosoted
Wood Block Paving Co. of New Or
leans for the paving of First street and
the Public Square, but sold the bonds
voted May "a to the same firm, at par.
This is good. There was petition filed
against proceeding further with the
work, but not a sufficient number of
property holders on the district to be
paved signed the anti-pavng petition;
so there was no other course open to
the council except to proceed in accord
ance with the mandate of the people as
expressed at the polls, May "a.
Good for the council! Congratula-
tions to that body. Good for Grenada.
The paving proposed is but a stepping
stone to other things and means that
Grenada still leads as the prettiest and
best town in north Mississippi. Now
let everybody join in for more business,
and for greater things. Grenadians are
entitled to the best. The proposed
paving is an important step in the up
building of the community.

we have returned indictments against

these crimes, and we believe that if the
petit jurors in the trials of these cases
give them the careful consdera-

whom the evidence shows to be guilty,
the work of this court will tend in a
large measure to suppress these helm

SuqqeStS Judge Teat for Governor.

There is young man who presides
over the circuit just north of this who
is making an enviable reputation as
Judge. He is a man well educated, a
lawyer and jurist by intuition. He is an
appointee of Gov. Brewer and in the
few months as Judge he has won the
plaudits of his whole district, by his
learning, keen insight, fairness to all
sides and the quick and mastery way
he dispatches business. His reputation
as a man, lawyer and jurist has ex-
tended far beyond the confines of his
district. This young jurist is none other
than Hon. James A. Teat of KOsciusko.
He is man that is bound to be heard
from in the future and we would like to
see him as the next Governor of our
state. .-Neshoba Democrat.

Tha greater part of the cases dismissed
on the payment of costs were cases of
delinquent road tax, where the defend
ant was released on payment of the
road tax and the costs.
In our opinion, the justices of the
peace have not been as diligent in
bringing to justice the petty offenders
of the county as they should have been.
And as an evidence of that fact we cite
the great number of indictments for
misdemeanors returned by the grand
jury, which viii have to be tried at
enormous expense to the county, and
which could have been disposed of by
the various justices of the peace at
much less expense if they had been as
diligent as the law requires them to be,
and had been willing to impose fines
large enough to be an adequate punish
ment for the crimes charged.
We find that during the present fis-
cal year there has been collected in the
county the sum of $14760.22 for road
purposes, and of that amount the sum
of $l4372. 81 has been expended on the
public roads, exclusive of the amount
paid for lumber, building bridges and
labor on the public roads, for which
the sum of $l3341.30 was paid out of
the common county fund. We find the
roads of the county in fairly good con-
dition, except the middle Road" from
the corporation line of the city of Gren-
ada to the beat line of beat No. l. We
think that the board of supervisors
have done about as we'll in the working
of the public roads as they could have
done with the money they had to ex-
pend.
We have examined the poison regis
ters of the various druggists of the
county and the registers of the various
butchers Of the county and find them
kept as required by law.
We find that the 'blind tiger" is not
as active in the county as he has been
at some periods in the past, but there
Is still q great deal more of liquor sell
ing in the county than the law abiding
people ought to permit, and We believe
that if all the good citizens of the coun-
ty will use every effort in their power
to suppress the blind tiger, that it will
tend in large measure towards his
final elimination; and we recommend to
the body Of the citizenship of the coun.
ty that they give more thought to and
be more diligent in this regard.

GRAND JURY MAKES SPLENDID SHOWING
Shows What County Has Spent and Makes Sundry
Recommendations Worthy of Consideration.

To the Hon. ]. A. Teat, Judge of the
Circuit Court of Grenada county,
Mississippi:
We. the Grand Jury, impaneled for
the present term of the court, have
concluded our labors and beg leave to
submit this, our final report.
We have been in session five days,
have examined 220 witnesses, and have
returned into open court 43 true bills.
We have examined the books of the
county officers and find them, as far as
we are able to tell, neatly and correctly
kept, but owing to the fact Of the i'm
possibility of the grand jury being able
to make anything like an accurate au-
dit of the books, we recommend that
an auditor be employed to audit all the
books of the various county officers.
We have examined the county Jail
and find it in excellent condition and
the prisoners comfortably provided for.
We have examined the poor house
and find it in fairly good condition, ex-
cept one room, which is too filthy for
any human being to live in. We rec
ommend that the floor in this room be
taken out and new floor put in, and
that all Of the bedding used by the pau
peIb III IulS EOOll, DC DuEueu 6uu new
bedding put in its place.
We have examined the hotels and the
school buildings of the city Of Grenada
and find them fairly well supplied with
fire escapes.
We find that the expenses of the
county Jail for the past year have been
$3640. AZ, and that the expenses OF
keeping the paupers and operating the
poor house for the past year have been
$678. 76.
We have examined the dockets of
the various justices of the peace and
find that J. H. Gray, ]. p, beat 8,
tried cases, imposed fine of S., and
dismissed three cases on payment OF
the costs; w. E. Eubanks, ]. P, beat

dryman, and Bell. The occupants lost
ali household furniture and almost all
their clothing.
The roof Of the residence occupied by

the fight against the flames, every
house in that row would have burned.

Upon arriving at the dining hall,

lar and handsome mayor, called the

address the meeting. Mr.. Doty well
coined the railroad officials to Grenada

common interests of the railroad and
the people generally thruout the state
and of what the railroad had done to de-
velop the state and what it was capa-
bic of doing, If given the aid and CO.
operation Of the thoughtful citizens, in
'stiil further adding to the progress of
the state. Mr.. D0ty spoke of Grenada
'county's farm lands and the possibili-
ties Of stock raising here and Of the ef-
'forts of the l. C. r. r. Co. to adver-
use not only Grenada county, but ev-
'e1ry county thru which the road runs in
the state.

Foreign View on Increase.

The London correspondent OF the
Annaltst, published by the New York
Times, comments on the increase in
wages to its employees conceded by the
steel corporation. Coming as it does
on the heels Of the vigorous campaign
being conducted by the American
Federation Of Labor to organize the
steel corporation, il is interesting and
gives some idea Of the widespread eff
feet which the American Federation
OF LabOr's efforts are having. The
following is an excerpt Of the article
referred to:
''The steel trusts prodigious conces-
sion in wages, the bearing OF which
we are just beginning to grasp. gives
fresh and more vital interest to the
whole labor question in the states.
For we know how IL would be here.
Were so vast an increase amounting
we are told to 2,50e. 900 pounds a year,,
to be conceded in the remuneration Of
labor in one Of our trades, il would be
seized upon by trade unions in gen
eral as the strongest evidence that the
remuneration OF labor had Jagged IN
duly behind the remuneration OF capt.
tai during a period Of prosperity, and
season Of discomfort, and Of a struggle
for a rise in wages all around. at
tended by strikes The action OF the
trust, il seems. may have a political
significance. These two and a nalf
millions sterling, it is said here, are
