A Most Satisfactory Statement

Else where the Sentinel publishes the
statement of the Grenada Trust q
Banking Co., which makes a most sat
isfactory showing and should be very
pleasing to the directors and stockhold-
ers. The bank holds other people 3
notes for $13l, 400. 20 and has on deposit
STA, O42. 80, which shows the public, g
faith in the bank and it's excellent Off
cials. 1t is the men behind any enter
prise or institution that give it charac-
ter, and there could hardly be gotten
together men of more sturdy honesty
than those who direct the affairs
of this bank. The cashier. Mr..
H. j, Ray, is as gentle and as cont1d-
| ing as woman and he is most no
BILE character and is thoroly conversant
with every detail of the banking bust
ness. The Sentinel bespeaks for the
Grenada Trust & Banking Co. the con-
tinued favor of the public.

]. {. Greenhaw Passes Away.

On Tuesday morning of this week
death claimed j. e. Greenhaw of
Grenada. But few knew that he was
i'll at all and the gravity of his condi-
ton was not known up town until an
hour or two before the end came. He
was victim of lung congestion.
Mr.. Greenhaw had been resident of
Grenada practically all of his life.
When a mere youth he enlisted as a
soldier in the Confederate arr.y, and
there as everywhere else, he was faith
full and did his full duty. He had con-
Quoted a meat market andgrocery bus
mess for the past rs years in Grenada
up to a little more than year ago;
since then he had not applied himself to
anything particularly.
He was member of the Methodist
church and man of the strictest hon.
esty and integrity of purpose. He en-
loved the absolute confidence of the
community. He was a quiet, unosten'
tatious citizen, but could always be re-
lied upon to take a position for the
right. He has two sons that are wei
established in business at Mariana
Ark. and three married daughters, be-
sides his wife, to mourn his death.
The funeral services were conducted
from the residence on Wednesday by
his pastor, Rev. j. A. Hall, of thu
Methodist church, after which his re
mains were laid to rest in Odd Fellows
cemetery.
The Sentinel tenders sympathy to tn
| sorrowing.

A. S. Bell to be Postmaster.

On Monday of last week A. S. Bell
was named postmaster at Grenada. 1t
has been well understood since short
time after the presidential election that
Mr.. Bell would be recommended by
Congressman Sisson; hence the ap-
pointment was no surprise. There were
several that put out "feelers," but
they soon found that Mr.. Sisson meant
to name his special friend for the place.
Mr.. Bell is an honest man, one of ab-
solute integrity, and the Sentinel feels
assured that he will do his best to main
tain the excellent service and the high
standards of the Grenada postoffice
which have obtained under the admin
istration of the retiring postmaster. H.
B. Miller.
Mr.. Bell has served as mayor of
Grenada, in which place he showed his
| fidelity to the town and a conscientious
discharge of duty. He is a man of de-
cided convictions and can be relied upon
to do what he promises, which is q
splendid tribute to any man.
Postmaster Miller retires with the
best wishes of the entire community.
To say that he has made the best and
most accommodating postmaster the
town has ever had, is not putting II
too strongly. Mr.. Miller was appointed
to succeed G. w. Fields, who was found
to be short in his accounts and who was
sentenced to serve term of two years
in the prison at Atlanta for embezzle
ment.
The Sentinel feels sure that Post
master Bell will improve even upon Mr.
Miller's splendid record. Mr. Miller
term expires Jan. 10, at which time HI
is expected TO turn the Office over t.
Mr.. Bell.
1t is understood that Jerry T. Tai
bert will remain deputy or assistan
postmaster and the Office force will re
: main as it is now. In fact, the offic
is in the civil service list and the Lax
will protect the force now engage
there. which is the rule throughout tn
: country.
: Here's congratulations to Grenada
new postmaster.

JUDGE POWELL SPEAKS FOR VARDAMAN.
Tells of latterS Opinion of bibO. Spicy Exchanges.
Powell Vardanlan'S Confidential Friend.

ing after Judge Powell left the stand:
II have Just heard Judge Powell tes-
tifying to dirty political lie, patent on
its face, since every man, woman and
child in Mississippi knows Senator Var
daman and have been political friends
ever since have been in political life,
and there could be no reason on earth
for me thinking Senator Vardaman dis
likes me-
Replying to the short and crisp inter-
view given out by Mr.. Bilbo after he
left the witness stand, Judge Powell
said:
II have read Lieut.. Gov. Bill
bo's card in regard to my testi-
mony, Of course. | expected Bills
bo to deny what | have said in re-
gard to his double dealing |
never knew criminal yet who
| would own up to his rascality
when he was caught red-handed.
What | stated was the truth and
Bilbo knows It.
"He knows that Senator Var
daman has never had any use for
him since he claimed to have
been bribed by Dulaney, and yet
did not turn over the money 10
the legislative caucus, when he
knew that such course would
have elected Vardaman on the
next ballot.
"He knows that Mr.. Vardamar
knows that when he defeated the
| Appellate Court bill in the las
Legislature, which Vardaman hae
indorsed, that on that night, afte
the defeat of the bill, he had
f wine supper and gloried over thu
/ defeat of the White Chief.

The public understands that it has
been the purpose of Bilbo and Hobbs
ever since their indictment at Vicks-
burg to make the impression upon the
loyal and ardent friends of Senator
Vardaman that Brewer was prosecuting
them because as they claimed, they
ARE Vardaman friends. They have
injected this into the trial from every
angle. There has been so much Of 1t
that the District Attorney had Judge
Robert Powell of Jackson summoned to
show that Nardaman not only had no
lalth in Rllbo and Hobbs, but that the
former had plead with him to get
Brewer TO join in a combination against

Senator Fardaman's closest personal
and political friends. He had much to

WINNERS IN MERCHANTS PRIZE CONTEST.
Miss Lena MCEMrath Wins First Prize. Miss Eva May
Ornan Second and Miss leta Ross Third.

On Christmas morning at 11:30 O
clock the ballot boxes were opened by
the judges who had been requested to
count the ballots in the Merchants
Prize Contest. and the story of who
were to be the winners in the contest
who were to be owners of the diamond
locket, the electrolier and the 18 pieces
of l847 Rogers silver, began to unfold.
1t was a difficult matter for some time
to catch the drift of the votes; in fact,
the count was nearly concluded before
it was seen just who were the lucky
ones. Two ballot boxes had been filled
chuck full of ballots and besides these,
two shoe boxes full of hallots had been
handed in by two of the contestants
which it was impossible to get into the
ballot boxes. 1t was we'll nigh a. m.
before the count was finished.
The judges were Prof. S. Claud Hall,
S. T. Tatum and j. Henry Harris. The
interest was intense towards the wind
up. The leaders exercised all the ener-
gies and all the skill they could muster
| for votes and there were very few that
were not solicited who had any votes.
The Sentinel is we'll pleased with the
contest and so are all the merchants
who were interested.
| We, the undersigned judges, who
counted the votes on Christmas day in
the Merchants Prize Contest, hereby
certify to the vote below:
S. I. Tatum.
S. Claud Hall,
j. Henry Harris.

Fountaine Barksdale, Hardy, 500
Josie Brown, Cascilla, 1890
Viola Brooks, Grenada, 1000
@ Daisy Hale, 5l0O
g Edna Staten, Cascilla, 500
From the above it will be seen that
Miss Lena McElwrath outdistanced all
and hence got the diamond locket.
Miss Evie May Orman came next and
got the electrolier Miss Leta Ross
came third and got the l8 pieces of
silver.
Miss Josie Brown did so much hard
work and her vote was so close 70 the
third winner that the Sentinel and the
merchants in the contest decided to
make her present of $12 cameo
breastpin as reward for her labor
The award YVES purely gift. Under
the terms of the contest there could be
but three successful ones.
This paper wishes each and every one
in the contest a prosperous and happy
New Year, and that as the days go by
they may grow better in heart and life.

Some Grenada Widows.

A good looking widow was in the
Sentinel office this week and remarked
to the editor that she and several
other equally as attractive widows
were "on the list when the fright
fellow" came along. Names maybe
furnished when the man with the prop
er credentials comes along and makes
US understand that he means business.
This is no time for foolishness. If there
are any timid or shrinking ones who
hesitate about sliding up to these wild
ows and they will tell the Editor of this
paper their troubles, he will do what he
can to help them out and encourage
their good impulses. The names of the
following young men in Grenada who
might profit by this opportunity will
appear in this space next week:
