Home Wedding Near Oakland.

On Wednesday, Feb. 1st, there took
place pretty home wedding few
miles west of Oakland, when Miss Ida
Mae Whitten became the bride of Mr..
Evelyn E. Tatum, Rev. j. D. Rice Off
ciating.
This important function was solemn
lied at the home of the brides mother,
Mrs. Annie Whitten. 1t was a select
group of friends and relatives who had
assembled to do honor to the contract
ing parties. The house had been deco
rated by interested friends and the en-
tire surroundings were in perfect con-
sonance with the spirit of the occasion.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
day, the sunshine of happiness and the
exhuberance of plighted vows pervaded
the house and the entire assemblage
seemed to catch the inspiration of their
surroundings.
The groom was reared in that COM
munity and is young man of fine char
acter, good habits and of exceptional
industry. His bride was reared at Cas-
ella, being daughter of Mart Whit
ten, deceased, and is lady whose per-
sonal appearance will catch the mos
critical observer and whose character
is as lovely as May morning.
The happy couple were generously re-
membered by their many friends, with
handsome as we'll as useful presents.
They will make their home in that com.
munity. The Sentinel wishes then
much happiness.

Our Wealth in Cotton

According to the Department of Ag-
riculture the cotton crop seems to be
established in value as next in order af-
ter corn. The lint of this crop in 1918,
at the price of Dec. l, had an estimated
value of $79S, ZOO, 900, and this was not
equaled in any former year. 1t is IA
1-2 per cent above the average of the
preceding five years. The estimated
number of bales of 500 pounds gross
weight in this crop is 1857, 900. conse-
quently this crop has been exceeded in
quantity by the crops of 1911 and 1912.
If the estimated value of the cotton
seed is added to that of lint, the total
farm value of this crop amounts to
S945, 900, 900, an increase of l6 per cent
over the average of the previous five
years. Texas usually produces from
e-fourth to one third the cotton crop
of the United States. The cotton crop
of the United States in 1918 covered
SO, 200 acres, it is estimated, an in
crease of per cent over 1912. Cotton

CIRCUIT COURT CONVfNfS
Leslie Clark Acquitted on Charge Of
Numbering NegresS. Sentenced
for Assault on Relative.

The circuit court was not adjourned
until last Monday morning. The trial
of Leslie Clark, charged with the muir
der of Sarah Parker, negro girl, on
December l3, last, was begun last Fri
day and was given to the jury at about
IL go O'Clock Saturday night, but when
the hour of midnight came there was
no report from the jury, hence the
Judge adjourned the court over until
Monday morning.
As soon as court was called Monday
morning it was announced that the
jury had agreed and in few minutes
they were marched in and their verdict
of not guilty was read by the circuit
clerk. The young msn who had been
on trial for his life wept and was en-
braced by his father, Lee Clark, but in
a few seconds he regained himself and
hurried to the jurors who had decided
his fate and shook them by the hand.
| The verdict was no surprise; in fact,
it was generally expected. The testi-
mony against Clark was wholly circum-
stantial and was supported largely by
negroes. Had SO many good citizens
not regarded Clark inimical to the good
order and peace of the Youngs neigh
borhood, he would hardly have been
suspected. 1t seems that he has
number of neighbors good citizens,
too, who regard him with dread. 1t is
stated that he is often drunk and that
when in that condition he is almost un-
governable. The Sentinel is not vouch-
ing for the accuracy of this statement
and is only giving currency to what is
stated by many citizens of Clark 5 COM
munity. He is young man of pleas.
ing address and apparently of fair in
telligence His father is an orderly
man and has always borne good repu-
tation. His mother has an amiable
face and every index of good woman.
Clark S conviction on the charge of
assaulting w. J. Clark, a distant rela-
tive, was noted in the Sentinel of last
week. For this Judge Teat imposed
sentence of six months in the county
jail and fine of $500. An appeal was
taken to the supreme court and bond
of $1,000 required pending the appeal.
Judge Teat read Clark a fine moral
lecture when he passed sentence and it
is hoped that he will so conduct him
self in the future that he will live down
every ugly charge against him. He
stated to representative of the Senti-
mel that when he made bond it was not
his purpose to spend much time at his
home, but that he would leave in few
days for Texas and remain there until
his case was disposed of by the supreme
court.

Grenada, Feb. 3, 1914.

To the people of Grenada county:
want to thank my friends who have
been so kind to me while | was being
tried fer my life in the circuit court of
Grenada county. y desire to thank the
jailer, Mr.. Dave Farrell, for his kind
consideration of me while | was in jail;
also the sheriff of our county for his
kindness al d for his fair consideration
of my wishes, and doing everything in
his power as an official of your county
to make me comfortable while | was in
jail.
| desire to say that also thank the
Circuit Judge for his fair rulings as to
certain questions raised by my lawyers,
Hamilton and Horton, in my defense,
while the trial of the cause was being
carried on.
And now, last but not least. the
twelve men who sat in judgment of
me. You promised to do your duty as
men, and you did; your verdict was
right one, and may the Great King, the
Great God, who rules from on high,
may He bless you in many ways, bless
each and every member of your fami-
lies, and when at last you fall asleep, to
awake in the other world, may each
and every one of you awake in that

where we can understand all things, is
the prayer of the boy who, by your
verdict. said was not guilty; and now.
once for all, | again state that | am in
nocent of the crime of which ! was
charged.
| Now then, as to the case of assault
and battery on my cousin. Will Clark,
on which | was convicted. | simply ask
my friends to suspend final judgment
of me in this matter until the supreme
court of Mississippi passes on the mat
ter, and if the sentence is affirmed, al
though | was prosecuted as to that,
will not whine; | will meet it like a
man. If the verdict is set aside and
the case reversed and | am given new
trial, | will again stand before God and
man and proclaim my innocence.
Yours truly,

the impression was general that the
two highest candidates-R. Pressgrove

But the City Executive Committee has
ordered second primary to be holden
Saturday, Feb. IA. In view of all sur
roundings, do not think it improper
for me to make a brief statement to
the public. Granting that the Execu-
tive Committee had the right to order
a second primary, a matter about which
there is much doubt, the question nat
ural.y arises: Why the demand" for
second primary, and who initiated the
''demand?' 1t has been the custom as
far back as can recollect for the two
candidates receiving the highest vote
in the first primary for aldermen to be
declared the nominees. and am per-
suaded that but for my well known at
titude with reference to acerta in street

From the above the reader can figure
the nominees.
The election was an exceedingly tame
affair. There was no enthusiasm and
the result of the first primary was &C.
cepted in the true Grenada spirit. As
will he seen from the above order of
the City Executive Committee, it is
proposed to hold second primary Feb.
IA to elect one alderman, city at large,
the two candidates being ]. H. Brown
and ]. H. Horn, and to elect one alder
man, East ward. The two candidates
whose names will appear on the ticket
are w. p. Ferguson and T. E. Heath.
The committee also holds that there
was only one alderman nominated in
West ward and that the contest will
have to be run over between j. W.
Vance and w. B. Rush.
The committee has written Attorney
General Ross Collins for an opinion on
the matter, their desire eviden tly being
to be absolutely sure of their actor
with reference to a second primary be-
fore the same is held.

Here is Il blouse essentially girlish
and youthful in effect. 1t is made with
the elongated or dropping shoulders
and with full sleeves while the front
portion or chemisette is crossed in
surplice fashion. AS it is pictured
here, the blouse is made Of embroid-
erd rpe de chine and the slecvs.
chmisette portion and collar are OF
chiffon. The combination is a smart
n and exceedingly dainty but this
blouse will be found just as dainty for
the pretty cotton fabrics as it is for
silk. Embroidered and plain cotton
marquisette could be treated in just
this way or the design could be va
ried by making the sleeves to match
the blouse in place of the chemisette.
Girls who are looking for something
new and smar will find the design q
boon . 1t is appropriate for small wo-
men, too, for small women always
look well in youthful styles.

to see II it really was Farmer Browns
