Did the Board Remain
In Session All Nidht !

Those who were the first to get up
town and visit the court house Tues
day morning found every member of
the Honorable Board of Supervisors"
at the court and assembled around their
counsel table and earnestly thinking or
doing something else that was equally
as grave. These gentlemen were there
so early, so much earlier than usual.
that their presence together at that
hour excited some comment. Some
wondered if the jovial member from
beat kept them together, some won
dered if the gentlemen We're endeavor-
ing to make up for hours frittered away
and still others wondered if the faithful
gentlemen were drawing per noctus"
as well as per diem" Regardless of
how came the early assembling suffice
it to say that they were together and
that the grind started before schedule
time that morning. The gentlemen are
to be congratulated upon their early
bird act. Do it again and often.

Storm Does Damage Monday.

The rain and wind on Monday after
noon did no small amount of damage to
property in the county. In the vicinity
of Holcomb and Dubard it did its worst
where some tenants houses were
wrecked, one being blown off the blocks
and there were two negroes slightly in
jured near Bew Springs. Trees were
blown down and other wreckage which
will retard farm work for several days.
In the neighborhood of Graysport and
Williamsville the wind was severe and
blew down chimney at the home of
Mrs. Rosa Willis. The rain came in
torrents only for short while, yet the
showers were continuous through che
day. At other points in the state more
serious results are reported, especially
is this true in the delta section. The
storm seems not to have been confined
to Mississippi but even reached as far
west as Texas.

Former Grenadian Writes.

Fresno. Cali, April 26, 1914.
Editor Sentinel
Would it be possible for me to talk to
the good people of Grenada through
your columns once more? While it is
nearing four years since left my home
town, yet find thoss whole souled, God
fearing, lovable Gren adams entrenched
in my heart today just as strong as
when | lived among them, and | pray
that some day | may be able to show
those dear friends that they can be
proud of Chas. Farmer and | can recip-
rocate for the hearty deeds you have
all shown me in health, sickness and
death.
Every time see a Sentinel enjoy it
more than any newspaper | ever read.
1t proves that the home paper is nearer
and dearer to the hearts of the people
than any other publication; it gives YOU
real happenings, things your loved ones
and friends never think of telling YOU;
it gives you the happiness and sorrows
of every family in the city and it tells
you of the business and political hap
penngs of your home town. 1t is al
ways gratifying to me, Mr.. Editor, to
see where old Gredada is still coming to
the front and leads, as she always did.
while others follow; it is always pleas
ing to know that the old town has an
army of boosters who are ever willing
to lend helping hand to make bigger
and better Grenada-never tagging be-
hind but endeavoring to work shoulder
to shoulder with the Sentinel editor and
other live citizens. All these facts max es
US proud to claim Grenada as our home
always.
| suppose the political situation is
very warm in "Old Miss" now, but |
am sure the level headed people will
take things in hand and relegate a lot
of would-be statesmen () to the rear
at the next election. 1t is to be hoped
so at any rate.
Would that | could see and talk to
i each and every madam. but | will
have to content myself at present by
wishing each of you every happiness
that you deserve and sending my heart
felt love to every true blue Grenadian.
Wishing the Sentinel continued pros
perity, am very truly,
Chas. B. Farmer.

Improvements al Cemetery.
Vehicle and Pedestrian Entrance.

The good ladies of the Cemetery As
sociation never tire Of planning for the
beauty of that sacred city of the dead,
Odd Fellows Cemetery. Indeed they
are to be as much commended for what
they execute as for what they plan to
do. They are having erected now
very handsome as well as convenient
entrance at the southeast corner of
the cemetery which consists of four
huge stone columns. that weigh alto
gether 5000 pounds, and three iron
gates. The middle gate is intended for
vehicle entrance and on each side is an
entrance for pedestrians. On either
side is a panel Of iron fence, all of
which makes rather imposing appear
ance, and when the grading is done.
both inside and outside, conditions will
not only look much better but will give
another of the many hundreds of evil
dences of the refined tastes of the people
of this lovely city and will show the
thought and the devotion of the ladies'
of the Cemetery Association to a work
that is near the heart of every citizen
who has friends or loved ones laid away
out there to await the morn when all
shall be gathered together to meet the
reward made possible by another shak-
ing off of grave clothes on a Sunday
morning when woman was the first to-
visit the tomb. May Odd Fellows
Cemetery ever be na!lowed ground in
the history OF Grenada. The Sentinel
in behalf OF the town desires to thank
again the ladies of the Association.

What the Press is Saying
About MOrriSOn'S Candidacy,

Mr.. Morrison does not come before
the district or the people of Yalobusha
county as an unknown quantity politi-
cally, having already established an en-
viable reputation as a legislator of
marked ability. He has served Gre
NADIA we'll in both branches of the legis-
lature, and as chairman of the COM
mittee on ways and means, or finance,
as we ordinary folk would term it, has
made his level-headed, prudent, con-
servative, yet progressive influence felt
in state affairs. As an evidence of his
fairness and popularity with all fac
tions of the recent session, it is only
necessary to mention that before ad-
journment he was presented with a
loving cup, mark of esteem not here
tofore bestowed, we believe. Mr.. Nor
rison is an attorney of high standing
and success, a man of strong moral
character and great mental force. He
is of and for the people, is thoroughly
posted as to the needs of this section
and, if nominated, should make the
people most useful and faithful rep
resentative. Water Valley Progress.

Residences Being Erected.

Mr.. c. E. Lockett has purchased the
vacant lot on Line street next to what
was formerly the Barwick home, but
now occupied by c. l.. Kimbrough and
family, and will soon begin the building
of two nice cottages thereon, one of
which he has already rented for a term
of three years and the other for one
year. Van w. Williams is erecting a
very neat cottage on the north end of
his lot and is doing some nice improv-
ing on his residence. These new houses
all show the demand for homes in Gre
NADIA and is splendid attest of the
popularity of Grenada as residence
town.

for every boy and calf for every girl. !"
This is the slogan that will make most
of the children of the state as deeply
interested and as active in the raising
of live stock as they are in the growing
of corn and tomatoes. Farmers who
are able to do so are being urged to
give their boys pig and their girls a
dozen or more chickens apiece, or calf.
When properly taken care of, pigs and
calves and chickens quickly grow into
money. There is boy in Brookhaven
who has already started out on career
as live stock farmer, all because his
mother gave him a pig. The boy is
typical of what other boys and other
girls too, will do with pig or calf.
Severalprominent business men, it is
said, are arranging to give pigs and
calves to the boys and girls whom they
think will be able to take care of them
and make them profitable.
