Y. NJ. G. A. MEETING
TO BE IN GRENADA
Two Hundred Delegates Expected
Preparations Being Made for
Their Entertainment.

As announced some weeks ago
representatives of the various churches
of Grenada met and agreed that the
annual convocation of the Y VI. c. A.
of north Mississippi should be invited to
Grenada and the date set for the con-
vention was Nov l3, IA and Is That
time Will soon be here. The delegates
will be expected on the afternoon of
Friday, Nov. l3, and on that night VIII
be entertained at a banquet, conse-
quently those who are to provide homes
and entertain these young men will not
haye to serve them a meal until the
morning of Nov. IA. The town will be
expected to furnish homes for them
and committee is now at work upon
this feature of the entertainment and
doubtless every home in Grenada will
be called upon. Grenada has never yet
failed to be a delightfal as well as i
willing host and The Sentinel feels that
she is not now going to mar her past
record in this regard nor will she fail
to realize the full religious fruits that
may be garnered from such a meeting.
Just think of the possibilities of SOW
| ing good seeds in the hearts and the
minds of so many noble young men and
the opportunity that is offered the town
to do a good work for the Master
Then there is the business feature Of
tire matter. With POO young men here
from various parts of north Mississippi
fine opportunity will be given Grena-
da for advertisement and for the max
ing of impressions from which the towr
may reap MANIFOLD on its investment
The banquet is to be simple affair anc
no subscriptions will be expected of ths
town to take care of il. nevertheless
there will necessarily be a small ex
+ pense budget incident to the convention
which the Grenada public will be call
. ed upon to bear. While times are

Walter N. Williams
Answers Last Summons.

On Friday night of last week Walter
M. Williams answered his last earthly
summons at the home of his mother,
Mrs. Annie Williams, in Grenada. For
a long while his health had been much
impaired and for the past few months
he had been confined to his room, asuf-
ferer from that dreaded disease, con-
sumption. He realized the impending
dissolution and was much inclined to
discuss the mistakes of so many young
men and to leave some werd of admo-
milton that would prompt men to high
er and nobler living. There was much
in Walter Williams that was kind and
noble. He was considerate always OF
others and it pleased him to be called
! upon bv those who knew him for an
obliging act. There was no malice in
his makeup and when the Great and
Righteous Judge makes up final bal
ance the writer believes that his spirit
will be given a place among those who
are to dwell in that city whose builder
and maker is God.
The funeral services were conducted
by Revs. j. A. Hall of the Methodist
church and J. C. Carothers of the Pres
bvterian church on Saturday Afternoon
after which the remains were laid tt
rest in Odd Fellows cemetery. 10 the

Mississippi Farmers
Complete Hay Moving

Mississippi farmers produced 2Sl, 900
tons of tame or cultivated hay during
1914, according to the preliminary es-
Inmates made today by the United
States Department of Agriculture. The
yield last year was 293,0OO tons. The
product is selling for an average of
Sl2. 70 per ton, compared with S12.l0 in
1913. The yield per acre this season is
1.45 tons and the quality is not as good
as that of the average crop of the past
ten years.

If Citizen had read carefully my ar
tcle of one column or thousand words
he would have found that the per-

M. James is due the credit for making
the investigation into these lands. If
Citizen was able to properly construe
English language he would readily see
that all this credit was given to the
board in my former article and not one
iota of it was claimed for myself. 1t
i Is true that took credit for one thing
that Citizen failed to do-my article
was prepared without the aid, advise
or consent of anyone and appeared over
my own signature. 1t is also true that
made the suggestion that the board
raise the interest rate on the sixteenth
section fund from per cent to 8 pei
cent. Every one who is familiar witt
the law in regard to this fund, knows
that the board and not the superlnten'

MATHEWSON IN new
FIELD OF ENOEAV0R
Makes First Appearance in
Love and Baseball" at the
Lyric.

Chrsty Mathewson has arrived in
fildom, in play of rare qualities spe-
cially written for him, around his
life, which will be shown Wednesday
at the Lyric. 1t is "101 Bison" two
reel drama.
Motion pictures have done more to-
ward familiarizing the public WITH
giving it intimate studies of great or
famous personages than the pen or
the painters brush could ever do.
That they secured Mathewson for
a series of photoplays is only another
evidence of what it can do. Baseball
has long since established itself as
the national game-there are millions
who follow its destinies. And, just SO,
there are untold millions who are
acquainted with the name Mathewson,
and who follow his career upon the
diamond studiously. Christy Mathew
son has acquired more fame in the
baseball world than any other player;
he has established a reputation as
the greatest pitcher the world has
ever produced.

This picture, "The Idiot" showing
at the Theatorium next Wednesday,
is an unusual one. The principal
character in this powerful play Is
Robert Harron, who takes the part of
the idiot, known as Oliver Chaplin.
From his babyhood his parents
knew there was something the matter
with him, but they did not know ex-
actly what it was. Ollie was of little
assistance on the farm, though he was
willing to attempt any task that was
not beyond his mental capacity.
With the cruelty of mere thought
lessness Ollie had been dubbed "The
Idiot" and he was known by that
name to all the neighbors. He was
not an idiot. He had too much good
sence to deserve such a nickname;
but he was not as bright as the other

MAKING MOVIE REEL
REQUIRES PATIENCE
AND APPLICATION
Film Editor Must Time Ac-
ton and Keenly Watch
Dramatic Incidents in Plot
to be Flashed.
BY MOVIE CRITIC.

The movie fan who sits in COM
Portable, Well-ventilated theatre and
gives himself up to the enjoyment of
the pictures, If he marvels at anything
beyond the histrionic ability of his
favorites on the screen, perhaps may
give the producer slice of the credit.
But If somebody, who has seen the in
side OF motion picture factory, sug
gests that he cast just one apprecia-
tive thought in the direction of the
film editor and the humble artists who
ASSEMBLE" the picture, he will not
have a ghost of an idea what this is
all about.
No picture would run smoothly, how
ever; it would not be timed properly;
the incidents would not be true to life
nor even appear in the right order,
were 1t not for the expert labors of the
assemblers, under whose practiced, dis
eliminating eye the thousand or more
feet of celluloid ribbon undergoes a
critical review. 1t is they, who, with
deXtrOus fingers cut, re-assemble and
splice together, until the perfected film
IS ready for projection from the mo-
ton picture machine.
l was talking the other day with the
clever film assembler of Our Mutual
Girl She has been six years in the
business, and she is an enthusiast.
Most persons don't realize" she
told me, that picture is never pho
tographed in the order of events and
scenes in which it appears on the
screen. A director never follows the
scenario literally. If he has four or
five episodes enacted in the same set
ting, he takes them all, one after an
other, though they may be scattered
all through the story. They then come
to us to be cut arpart and inserted in
their proper places.
THE director may take the interior
scenes today and the exteriors next
week. Yet all these will belong to
one subject. The film reaches us in
rolls of different lengths, the story a
hodge-podge. We unravel it by fol-
lowing the scenario. 1t is necessary
to examine every piece of film to find
the beginning, the end and the inter.
mediate parts, and get them all to-
gether in dramatic sequence. In Reel
% Of Our Mutual Girl there were eigh-
ty-one different pieces, and from one
hundred to one hundred and twenty
five different phases Of the same
scene. These all had to be separated
assorted and put together again. In
The Escape, there were at least a
thousand scenes, and any number OF
cut-cuts and changes. The picture
was never two days the same. That
was one of the biggest jobs we ever
handled"

cerned, including Mr.. Richardson. the
villainous villain stuff is reserved for
his work before the camera In pri-

Some of the compliments he re-

Robert Sands believes that there is

however, is skeptical of the expert
ment. She loses heavily at bridge,
and, ashamed to confess to her hus-

suspicion falls on Marsh. He has
been a witness of Mrs. Sands theft,
but to shield her he accepts his dis
missal in silence. Hurrying, con-
science-stricken, to pay her debt, the
door opens and Marsh comes out. The
explanation she demands is simple.
He has answered an advertisement,
