A SOLID REASON


A noted Sunday school worker liv-
ing in Kansas was once asked to talk
to the children of a Sunday school
on the subject of temperance. He is
very earnest in the cause and wears
bit of blue ribbon as a badge of his
Eprinciples. Rising before the school,
The pointed to his bit of blue ribbon
and said: Nov can any of you chill
81 dren give me reason why am not
"a drunkard?"
There was no reply for moment.
[Then childish little voice in the rear
of the room piped out: "'Cause this
sffs a prohibition town. Youths

Mayor Taylor of Jackson.

Grenada had the honor of having
Jacksons worthy mayor, S. j. Taylor,
and his excellent wife, here for a few
hours last week. Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor
passed through Grenada in going to
and returning from Cascilla, where
they went to be present at the marri-
age of their only son, S. S. Taylor, to
Miss jamie Rice.
Mr.. Taylor is great Jackson boost
er and is giving that city not only a
business administration, but he has
seen to it that the police force are men
who are in earnest about law enforce
ment. This is as it should be, and Mr..
Taylor is to be congratulated that he
has the backbone to stand for those
things that ''disturb business ant
make for the moral betterment of tht
community. He is no halfway man
and If Memphis had him on deck thers
for little while there would be
mighty rush for the tall timber by
certain bunch. Mr.. Taylor is sue
cessful business man and strong force
for good in his community.

City Council Employees Engineer

The city council has contracted with
Prof. J. H. Dorroh of the State Uni
versity to furnish plans and specifica-
tions for the paving of First street and
the Public Square, and Mr.. Dorroh is
now taking the street measurements
and will have plans and specifications
ready for the board within few days.
Bids for paving will be received July
8. The council does not know what
material will be used to do the paving,
until the bids are opened.
The city is to be congratulated on the
fact that Prof. Dorroh has been Sc
cured to furnish specifications and to
act as advisor for the council. He is
not only skilled engineer, but is man
of the highest integrity, and Grenada
may rest assured that he will see that
the contractors give the town square
deal.

MEETING CONTINUES.
Rev. Fitzgerald Proves to be Very
Able and Convincing.

The revival services at the Presby-
terian church continue with unusual in
terest, The Rev. p. M. Fitzgerald,
who has been doing all the preaching,
is man of remarkable charm in the
pulpit. There is an eloquence and
force about his simplicity that is unu-
sually attractive and holds his hearers.
His illustrations are plain and practical
and exceedingly persuasive. He is full
of what he is trying to impress upon
his hearers, hence the ready sympathy
and cooperation he receives from his
congregation. He does old time each
j ing. There is nothing of the sensation
al or the spectacular about him, but he
is desperately in earnest about getting
people to think about their duty to their
d, God and themselves and about saving
men from sin. Few ministers ever
o come to Grenada whe made deeper
impression on the community. When
. one stops to think of the church and
the ministry and how these noble meL
o of God have appealed to men during al
these ages to accept the blood OF
Risen Savior, he can understand why
. God has honored them and how it II
that the world is full of so much tha'
is pure, noble and good.
Those who are failing to hear Mr.
Fitzgerald are missing a'religlous feas
and an opportunity to hear a very
charming and convincing man IN TN

Mr.. w. Wilson, Human Being, Wash
Ington, D. c.:
Since writing you last week from the
old home of Alec Stephens about some
reforms in which | am interested. |
have been thinking hard on the Cur
rency Reform.
A large manufacturer in Atlauta told
me last Saturday that many of the
smaller banks in Georgia can not bor-
row a single dollar, and that they have
not single dollar to loan to their Gus
toners, even tho said customers may
be able to give gilt-edge security.
Furthermore, business men IN the
South everywhere are contrasting pres
ent conditions of the money market
with that of last year at this time. One
man said to me, This time last year
any man of character or with good Sc
curity could borrow a little money TO
carry him over the summer.
The "short crop" in parts of the
South will not account for all this.
When a good man with good farm or
good friend behind him can not bor-
row 500 for 60 days, Mr.. Wilson,
tnere Is something rol.eh III Deii'
mark.
As | wrote you in my last letter,
have never felt much of an interest ii

free trader, and can see no justice III
any other course. Still do not object
to the fact that now | must pay So 5C
for shoe which ten years ago bought
for 81, provided l had the SO so. If
know, Mr.. Wilson, that the extra s.
which have paid is equally distributed
among the men wo raised the COW whC
grew the hide, the men that tanned th'
hide, the men that made the shoes from
the hide which the COW grew, the mel
who sold the shoes to the men who solC
me the shoes, on down to the very clerl
who fitted the shoes on my feet, an

to pay that extra dollar, provided haC
the dolla, or can step to my banker AM

But | am greatly interested in Cur
rency Reform which will make it eas.

want you and Senator Owen to stir Vi
Congress 70 do its duty in this matter

Advice "6oiled Down" "

Ralph Harris, editor of the Ottawa
Herald, Kansas, says he could write a
couple of columns of pretty far advice
to the graduates of the Ottawa Uni
versity, but he followed the newspaper
rule and ''cut it to the bone" in these
terse sentences:
Take your time Hit the low places
as well as the high ones. Travel the
whole road. Skipping difficulties leads
to the bad habit of shifting RESPONSE
bilities, and responsibilities We're meant
to be shouldered, not skipped"

Crop Prospects Fine.

From what the writer has seen Of
the crops in this section and from what
this paper learns from different quar-
ters. the crop prospects of this section
are yery fiattering. While the weather,
much Of the time, has been too cool for
cotton and has retarded its growth, yet
the fields are free from grass and the
soil is in fine condition. The farmers
are well up with their work. and aside
from being too cool at times, the
weather otherwise has been ideal. Boil
weevil are reported on the southern
edge of the county, but only on few
farms.

YeNow Tale of
Frozen Children
is Prouen Untrue


Although reported to have lost two
children by having them frozen to
death on the road from Meeker to
Rifle during the recent zero weather.
John Henry arrived safe and sound
with his wife and four children in
Palisade last week.
According to dispatches sent from
Meeker to the Denver newspapers, a
rancher. variously reported as 'Kel-
ley" Davis and Henry" had been
caught in the mountains with the
Thermometer 40 below zero. and
when the family awoike the following
morning the two youngest children
We're dead.
Henry made the trip as reported
in the Denver Newspapers, but his
family escaped Injury during their
drive across the mountains, and 1t
is the general opinion that the story
sent from Meeker of two children be-
ing frozen to death is exaggerated
There must be some mistake
about the report, sent from Meeker."
said Henry to a Sentinel reporter
over the telephone from Palisade this
morning. I'VE started from Meeker
about two weeks ago and went
through two very severe nights on
the trip from Meeker to Rifle. The
mercury got about 80 below, but we
had stoves in our two tent wagons
and suffered very little. The two
coldest nights we spent at Cameo,
and arrived in Palisade Tuesday"
The Henrys are, on their way from
Sheridan, Wyo. to Texas, and are
travelling overland. They visited in
Yellowstone and Idaho on their trip:
but will probably remain at Palisade
until the weather moderates some
what. They We're very glad indeed to
reach place of safety in the Peach
city. The family has taken up quar-
ters for the present in the Bower cot
tage near the canning factory.
