rRIDINGH A NEWSPAPER,

Every line in a newspaper costs the proprietor something. fit
IS for the benefit of an Individual il. should be paid for. If the gro
er we're asked to contribute groceries to one abundantly able to pay
" them he would refuse of course. The proprietor of a newspaper
ust pay for free advertising if the beneficiary does not, and yet it
one of the hardest things to be learned by many, that a newspaper
nas space in its columns to rent, and must rent them to live. To
give away rent for anything less than living rates is S fatal to a
paper as for a landlord to furnish rent free.-Magnoha Gazette.
1t is singularly strange that there are some people who think
that because they are subscribers for a newspaper that they should
be accorded the privilege of inserting almost anything in its COL
scribe for a paper. They forget the fact that they are being served
by the paper and that the natter of subscription is a mutual affair.
No one should subscribe ir Il newspaper as a matter of accommo-
dation to the editor r the proprietor. We don't want subscriptions
on that basis. ANY newspaper wants news items but when 1t comes
to publishing the equival"nt of the Declaration of Independence
about indiyiduaiS, or ctIcn nca pertaining to families, in which
only these families =" .--. = nediates are interested, then a due
regard for ot r. read &c 81 ldmonsh a becoming brevty.
Nothing IS worse rit u han a country newspaper. No one
would think of sending = Uus:ess notice to the Commercial-Appeal
or any other city dairy because, forsooth, he had been a subscriber
for a number of years, and the sooner the county paper learns to
apply the business test to what is offered it for publication the better
for The press of the country. This paper has never made any charges
FOR publishing church notices or any items tending to promote the
moral tone or betterment of the community. Every newspaper
takes a pride in boosting the general affairs of its community. 1t is
expected to give every new enterprise a boost but after having done
this it is not very refreshing to see the business end of the "new
enterprise go somewhere. OF course it is a very great privilege to
the editor 10 mention me and my affairs and adds no little to his
bank account.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST.

The congre ssional contest in this district comes to a close next
Tuesday. Grenada county is peculiarly concerned in the coming
primary as she has never been before. In supporting Hon. ). "A.
Morrison The Sentinel feels that it has but discharged d duty to an
able, fearless. honest, upright county man. He is a man OF indomi-
table will power. He is a force to be reckoned with in whatever he
undertakes. We are but recording facts when we state that those
in touch with his campaign are exceedingly optimistic about Mr..
Morrison's election. There are many reasons tor this hope. In the
first place, there is a we'll defined opposition to Mr.. Sisson all over
the district that would manifest itself with any good mar opposing
that gentleman in the second place, there isa large contingent over
the district who are fixed in the belief that Sisson treated his old
friend and former law partner, Shed Hill, badly in making the race
against him; in the third place, there are a very great many thought.
full. careful minded people who think Mr.. Sisson has not only failed
to make good in congress but that his attack on some of President
Wilson's policies makes him guilty of part treachery, and has re-,
tarded the good work the Democratic party has undertaken. and
lastly there are many who think Mr.; Sisson a wind jammer,all
Morrison has shown by his speeches over the district a thorough &C
quaintance with governmental affairs and the people have faith in
him. Besides ali these matters MI. Sisson said when he first ran,
that three terms were enough for a congressman, and the voters Of
vice. Morrison will worthily wear the honors of a congressman, if
elected.

NEWSPAPERS SHOULD BEWARE.

Only a few weeks ago The Sentinel received an order for adj
vertising for several. concerns at Dayton, Ohio, from the Merchants
Publicity Company of the same place. What appeared to be salts
factory references were sent along but subsequent investigation sat
SO the ads were discontinued.
The Montgomery Shoe Co, OF St. Louis, gave us some very
generous orders for advertising but when we sent them theiI account
they responded with some shares of their stock which we do not
consider worth a ding. The reader can draw his own conclusions
as to this firm.
The Hot Springs Medicine Co. of Hot Springs, Ark, is a first
class fraud and the public should beware.
The newspaper fraternity is worked" quite a good deal by So
references.

THE SENTINELS CIRCULATION WIDENS.

We feel a little pride in the fact that during the past few weeks
we have received requests for the weekly visits of the Sentinel from
new subscribers-persons in various parts of the state. The Sentinel
has established a record that makes even those beyond the confines
of its own county interested in it. The paper now goes to 60 states
in the Union and also to the Hawaiian Islands and to the Philippines.
A pretty good showing for a county paper.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1914-08-14

The fair minded, non-partisan citizenship do not ask for favors
for this or that candidate, but they do ask a square deal and that
outsiders do not butt in. What would be thought of a citizen or
even a dozen citizens from this or any other county in north Missis-
sippi going into south Mississippi and bu:ting into an election in
which the people of that section alone were concerned? Any man
of common sense knows that there would be a wall and a protest 60
up that would overwhelm the interlopers.
