To The Teachers.

Mr.. Smith. State Superintendent of
Education, has requested that Thanks
giving week be set aside in the schools
of this county, part OF which will be
devoted to a study of Grown in Mis-
sissippi" products.
The plan of the week would be to de-
vote part of each day to the study of
Mississippi products in the class room
and the fields. | believe that this is a
great opportunity to interest the boys
and girls of your school in the resources
of your community.
A community dinner may be served
on Thanksgiving Day at which only
Mississippi products should be used.
This will be an excellent opportunity to
have the boys and girls, together with
the patrons of your school, see how
wide variety of Mississippi products
can be collected at one time.
The children should make banners,
pennants. etc, using the nottos;
Grown in Mississippi" and MADE in
Mississippi for decorations.
We are mailing suggestive outlines
for a Grown in Mississippi Day pro-
gram. Perhaps some local man will
prepare an address on Our Community
Resources or Grown in Mississippi.
! A booklet has been prepared for use IN
the schools, covering the various sub
jects, as corn, oats, etc. When order
ing these booklets number of articles
will be furnished without charge. which
may help to prepare the addresses for
this occasion. Booklets may be obtain

lie for Work.

State politics took its first turn here
on Friday afternoon of last week when
the friends and supporters OF Hon.
Marion w. Reilly OF Natchez got to-
gether and organized RELY Club"
to further the candidacy of that gentle
man for Governor. There was no ado
about the meeting but those behind it
evidently believed that the best way to
do a thing ID to do it. The writer was
not present but is advised that the pro-
moters of the club manifested much
faith in Mr.. Reilly and that they are 60
ing to work industriously to see that
the Adams county gentleman 10 well re-
membered on election day in this part
of the state Mr.. C. c. Provine, q
prosperous farmer and stockraiser, was
made president Of the club. Mr.. Van w.
Williams vice president and Mr.. W. E.
jackson secretary. The officers are
splendid gentlemen and can be depend
ed on to push the Reilly campaign. The
Reilly buttons have made their appear
ance and can be seen adorning the lapela
of many coats. The other candidates
for Governor had best look wise. There
can be no denying the fact that Mr.,
Reilly made . fine impression on the
people of this county.
The Sentinel has been requested by
the President of the Rely club to an
nounce another meeting on the night o.
Friday, Nov. 20, at the Mayors offic'
in Grenada at which time it Is proposes
to take steps to perfect the work o
organization.

LOSE
IN THIS COUNTY.
Very Small Vote. Result in State
In Doubt.

Owing to the tardiness of the officers
at several precincts the election COM
missioners for this county were unable
to make up the final returns of the
election held November 3rd, until Tues
day of this week No election was
held at Spears precinct. There was a
total of 209 votes polled in the county.
l03 of which were polled at the Grenada
box. Harbaugh, Socialist candidate for
congress, received only votes in the
county while Congressman Sisson got
1872. Judge J. G. McGowen led the
ticket with le9 votes, Judge Rodgers
received 10 votes. Much carelessness
was shown in marking ballots. The
constitutional amendments shared bad
fate in this county, not one OF them
carrying. To have carried in this coun-
ty, the amendments would have had to
have los votes; the nearest to this was
given the amendment for 8 jurors to
render verdict in civil case which
amendment received so votes to 10
against it The amendment to change
the apportionment in the Legislature
came next, receiving 79 votes to Y
against. The proposed amendments re-
lating to an increase in the number of
supreme court judges and the election
of these officials, did not get to first
base. The vote on the amendments by
numbers was as follows: No. /, 81 for.
sc against; No. 2, "a for. 81 against;
No. 8, 54 for, 92 against; No. 4, 81 for,
SO against; No. 5, SO for, 80 against
No. 6, So for, "a against; No. Z, so for,
70 against; No. 8. SO for, 81 against;
No. 9, 79 for, 72 against.
Up to this writing it is not know at
the Secretary of States Office at Jack
son what the result of the amendments
is but it appears that they shared bet
ter fate in other counties than in Gre
NADIA and that all the amendments ex
cept the one for the initiative and the
referendum have carried. In many
. counties the commissioners failed tC
make returns as to the total vote cast
very important matter in determining
the result on the amendments.

Editor. Sentinel: Various and sundry
reports have come to me at dlnerent
times within the past few months that
there was an effort being made to force
all the negroes in my community and
within radius of number OF miles
from there to leave and that the move
ment was being fathered by me.
l desire to say that SO far as l am
concerned that such charge IS abso-
lutely false and that there is no founda-
tion whatever for anything Of the sort.
| think the whole thing originated IN
the mind of some designing person;
there are some who are always ready
to give currency to what is sensational
and exciting. l am q landowner my
self. need some tenants on my own
farm and it would be worse than folly
on nv part for me to encourage even
remotely such q thing. have always
tried to be the friend of the good negro
and do not think there is . better set
of negroes anywhere than there Is in
that section. want their good will,
want them to remain with US because
we need them and because my neigh
bors need them, and if can be showr
that there are ary who are trying BY
clandestine methods or otherwise t
scare the negroes into leaving, viii
ioin hands in bringing all such to the at
tention of the courts. l only ask space
for this communication as matter o
Justice to myself and because OF m!

HnawkshawH Brings In a Few.

Deputy City Marshal Martin advises
The Sentinel that he has made several
"catcbes" within the past week, num-
bered among which are: Frank Yates,
petit larceny, Pink Caldwell, same
charge, Charlie Jones, burglary, ali
negroes. A young white man by the
name of Rounsayille, from Tallahatchie
county. charged with mule stealing,
was victim Of "Hawkshaw's' eagle
eve the latter part of last week. The
owner of the mule came and identified
it and young Rounsaville was carried
back to Taliahatchie county and lodged
in iaii. Seven crap shooters also fell
into Mr.. Martins hands. all OF whieh
added quite a neat sum to the CITY
excheuuer.

viii Run Free Train.

On Nov. Goth the Illinois Central will
run a car on the local between Horn
Lake and Grenada for the purpose of
accommodating all who may desire to
make Thanksgiving offering to either
the Methodist of the Baptist Orphanage
in Jackson. The rail road company will
make no charge for transportation and
the public should avail themselves of
the opportunity to send a gift to the
unfortunates who are inmates of these
homes. Much is needed. 1t is an an
nual custom of the rail road to run this
free car and shows a most benevolent
spirit upon the part of the company,

Two Rare Entertainers.

Grenada College has presented two
numbers of its Lyceum course during
the past week. Mr.. Strickland w. Gil
lilan, noted humorist, was there last
Friday evening. He is rare entertain,
er and the best compliment that could
be paid him is to say that were he to
come back even within few weeks he
would have much larger audience than
greeted him on that occasion. On Tues
day evening of this week, Miss Myrtle
Elvyn, noted pianist, was at the Col
lege. Those who are best calculated to
know say that she is one Of the finest
piansts in all the country and she
charmed all music lovers who heard
her.

ufnvOy' Writes Interestingly.

Fall Ins~ so very busy that
have had no time, and might add, in
clination, to write anything for the
papers. But things have been ''pop-
ping of" in the meantime just the
same. The bloody war across the sea
continues in all its inhuman brutality, |
filling the land with widows, orphans |
and mourning while the crowned heads |
continue to urge their followers to fill
their fellowmen with lead. In the mean
time Mexico growls and refuses to have
peace and perhaps will not as long as
Villa-aptly named-lives. We have
had national election in which the
Democrats retain power, the Republi-
cans make gains and the Progressives
almost cease to exist. Tennessee rele-
gates Hooper to the rear and Rye be-
comes the state beverage and emblem

Locally we have had little fight for
Circuit Judge Of the 18th District, and
the people gave Brewer and his ap-
pointee, Judge Dinkins, a vote of con-
fidence. Judge Dinkins is making a
world Of friends; no man can really dis
like him when forced to come into con-
tact with him. He pushes the business
and the time, but does it so smoothly
that the fellow pushed does not know
it. We have had no court here in a
year; but when he adjourned the ses-
sion on the 9Th inst, there was not a
case left on the old docket and many
indictments found by the present grand
jury had been disposed of.
Nor did the Governor make mis-
take when he appointed N. E. Wilroy
District Attorney. While he had only
been in the practice for about year,
he was and is natural born lawyer, and
Brewer knew it. He has been now in
three counties in the district, met the
best lawyers in each county and con-
victed in the majority of cased prose

documents and thatG is the Guggen- helms are nov iu the country to stay {. It has been learned since the story of the deal for the Broad Pass property was published that Mir. Aitken has really gone to Skagway and thence to the interior as he said he was going to do. Pe has gone to Dawson to get dredge to place on property on Candle creek in tbe Kus kokwim. The fact that he did not go to Broad Pass after making the deal may be regarded as very ifcant.-Seward Gateway.

That the Guggenheius have made a big deal by which they have acquired large interests in the Broad Pass coun- try, and that the great smelling firm is about to develop that section on a very extensive scale is the information which comes from sources which are believed to be reliable. It is also stated, but not positively, that the purchasers of the property of the Wells boys are really the Guggenheims and that Tom Aitken, who was mentioned as the pur
 chaser, represented them. People vho believe this to be true state that not only will this deal exercise a powerful influence on the mining conditions iu this region, but that it will also have a most important bearing on the railroad question for reasons that can be read- fly understood when |, is remembered that transportation Go the Broad Pass country will require on outlet in this neighborhood. Aitkeu is wealthy man on his own account, but the we'll known desire of tha Guggenheims 10 make deals through middlemeu is said Co be the cause of their using him in this capacity. One fact which bears out this statement is that Aitkeu never visited the Broad Pass himself and it is certain that he never purchased for himself property which he himself had never seen, although he could easily have visited it. The fact is that Ailken met Engineer Newsome, who, it is well known, represented the Guggeuheims here-iudeed it was SO well known that he was a Guggenheim man that for him to try to make the deal would let every one know who was at the back of it, and the last thing the Guggenheims want to do, for obvious reasous, is 10 let anyone know that they have al y finger in those mining deal pies. But one thing is about as certain as auy
 thing could be which is not proven by

Keep Your Dollars at Home

Just a dollar on a mission sent, makes a lot of people glad each time the coin is spent You pay it to the butcher for the meat to give you strength; he takes it to the grocer, from whom it goes, at length, some pretty lace or cloth his better half to buy, or help to get her winter hat to make her rival sigh. The dry goods man lets go the coin to pay the market bill, and though the coin is often spent it stays a dollar still; and every time 'tis speut at home, some act of good is done; in booming local industries it's bound to make them run. But if you take the shining coin and break the local chain, the chances are that from afar twill not return again. If once it ! passes out of town, the butcher and the baker, the grocer and the dry goods man, the furniture man and carpenter, the wagon man and blacksmith, the shoeman and the printer, each one will ] lose the chance to touch the coin ere the setting of the sun. Just keep the
 little coin at home, just keep it moving we'll, and every time it changes hands somebody's goods twill sell That single little dollar has thus a wondrous power to make somebody happy doz- en times an hour. It pays the bill and wards off ill and ne'er it's power relaXes to sooth the doctor, buy the wood, and pay for clothes and taxes.-Stolen.
