Cattle Tick Meeting Monday.

Editor Sentinel: know that all who
are interested in the work of tick erad-
ication in this county are gratified at
the large meeting at the court house
last Monday. In another column the
news editor has no doubt told about the
portions of the county that were ready
to begin right now the work of eradica-
tion. 1t is earnestly hoped that all of
beat 2 and that beat will join in and
the entire county can be freed this
season. There are many who hereto
fore opposed the work who are now in
favor of it and who are going to join in.
Let every man who is interested
take it upon himself to interest his
neighbor and friend who is not inter-
ested, and those who are going to dip
should see that there is no one who op-
poses the work between them and beats

When the family reached home from

What had been done, and they then set
obout to secure some bioodhounds,
which they did not succeed in doing un-
til the next morning.
When the bloodhounds arrived, the
rext afternoon about two o'clock, they
were carried to the window where en-
trance was made by the burglars, and
in a short while they were pursuing the
trail that was followed about two miles,
when the first negro was apprehended
in a crap game with several others.
The dogs persisted in smelling around
but one of the several negroes and
hence the suspect was taken charge of
The dogs were then put upon the trai

inst. contained an interesting letter to
President Wilson from my friend and
former teacher, Mr.. G. T. Howerton,
on the subject of peace. If you will
kindly allow me space in your paper,
want to say that with all respect for
my friends high intellectual attain

am earnestly of the opinion that i the |
peace policies advocated by him and by |

adopted and put into actual practice by
the United States, the result would be
speedy and overwhelming ruin to the
welfare and prosperity of our beloved
country. 1t is the desire and the hope
of every patriotic American that our
country shall enjoy lasting peace with
all nations. But we must see facts as
they are, and recognize the indisputa-

that mighty and newly arisen power,
Japan, are maintaining colossal arma

TICK ERADICATION
MEETING MONDAY.
Well Attended and Much Interest is
Shown. Work Soon to be
Under Way.

Martin, a mass meeting was held at
the court house last Monday morning
to consider the matter of continuing
the work of tick eradication in this
county. The meeting was called to or
der by Mr.. Martin and W. R. Baker
asked to take the chair.
Mr.. Martin stated very clearly and
forcibly the object of the meeting and
incidentally made a most persuasive
plea for the elimination of the cattle
tick. He briefly reviewed what had
been done in the county in tick eradica-
ton work, and stated that what was
proposed now would be at small cost to
the county, as the work of supervision
was to be without compensation the
only tax upon the county would be the
making of any necessary new watts and
the cost of the compound for making
the dipping fluid which Mr.. Martin sta
ted the board of supervisors said that
the county would pay. From what de-
veloped at the meeting, it is under
stood that efforts will be made to re-
lieve beats l, 3 and and part of beat
2 of the cattle tick. The following ell
ther have vats near them or promise to
cooperate with those who have vats,

Statement by 5 of Council.
Grenada. July %.

There seems to be some mlsappre-
hension on the part of some of the peo-
pie most directly interested in the cost
of paving certain streets and the Pub
lie Square as contemplated by the city.
as to whether or not provisions have
been made. or can be made. for the
carrying of the accounts of those who
are not prepared to pay all cash for
same.
For the benefit cf any who are labor
ing under the impression that provis-
ions can not be made for borrowing
money to pay for the said costs of paw
ing, we wish to state that we have as
surance from several reliable sources
that after you have paid one-fifth of
the said cost, cash, your notes will be
carried by them for the balance at a
rate of interest not greater than per
cent, same to be paid in four equa! an
nual payments. b, +. Thomas,

South Shore Line Turned
Down in It's Plea for Two

Yanked up by suit for damages the

beg for mercy before the city council
last evening. A clever corporation

of personality, wit, humility and tact

Large Nicholas Lauer defeated Meyers
face face in a tete a-tete, made q
short, but impassioned plea to the al
dermen that they allow the city to con-
tinue litigation and won his point.
AS a result of the serio-comic ses-
sion the South Shore line may be COM
PEELED to pay the penalty exacted by
an arc light ordinance which they have
repeatedly refused to obey. City At
torney John Gavit filed suit in the su-
perior court some days ago and will
procee to carry out the wishes of the
governing body.
Attorney Meyers has appeared before
the council before, and in his smooth
way promised many things which were
not complied with. The company has
incandescents at north side crossings
and Lauer claims they cannot be seen
after dark. He also made the asser-
tion that workmen on their way to the
mills in fall and winter were COM
PEELED to strike matches to signal a
car.
This time Meyers claimed to have a

the arc lights demanded by the or
dinance which he wanted to try for
two months. Mayor Smalley and At

meeting that the new light is sur
