E. 6. Brewer at MOrriSOn's Office.

Hon. S. A. Morrison has secured Mr..
E. c. Brewer to remain in his office
and keep track of his law business
while he is out campaigning for con-

nate in securing Mr.. Brewer. He is
just completing his law course at the
State University and is young man of
somewhat varied experience and splen-
did equipment. That he will be equal
to the important duties he has assumed
none will gainsay who know him, and
Mr.. Morrison's clients may rest assured
that with the times Mr.. Morrison can
drop in and out of the Office their every
interest will be cared for. Mr.. Brewer
was reared in the good old county OF
Carroll which is splendid recommen'
dation to him in itself. He is of pleas
ing address and will readily make
friends and can absolutely be relied up
on as a gentleman of the very highest
integrity and sincerest purposes. The
Sentinel extends him cordial welcome

GRENADA WINS.
Three Of Five Prizes Captured at High
School Meet. High Compliment
to Grenada High School.

Grenada High School walked off with
the honors at the High School meet
held at the State University on Friday
and Saturday of last week OF the
five prizes offered in the literary con-
tests Grenada won three of them and
when it is considered that such schools
as Meridian, Laurel, McComb City.
Greenwood, and indeed almost every
leading high school in the state was
represented, the Significance of the
success of Grenada is fully realized.
The winners were: English, Donald
/ Wright; Algebra, Lewis Gerard; Latin,
Malcolm Lawrence. When it was an
nounced from the platform at the Uni
versty that these boys had won three
of the prizes, Prof S. Claud Hall, su-
perintendent of Grenada schools who
was present, gave a yell and said.
"boys, when you come off the stage
want to hug you" Not only are these
boys to be commended and congratu-
lated but so also is Prof Hall and his
able assistants who made the results
attained possible.
These medals make six that have
been won by students of Grenada High
School this year. all of which is a
splendid testimonial to the character of
work being done there.
The boys are wearing their medals
with becoming dignity and modesty
and their friends feel sure that they
will appreciate the fact that the med
ais should be incentives to higher de-
velopment and greater success-if they
do not do this the medals will have
been won in vain. These boys are all
splendid students and the future for
them is largely of their own making
Grenada feels justly proud of them and
her high School.

The "UnIOaded'' Gun Kills.

What has often before occurred in
the experience of others with the
"unloaded' gun happened in the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. F. Thompson in
Grenada at an early hour last Friday
morning when Leslie Canady accidently
shot his little year old half brother,
Lewis Thompson. 1t seems the old gun
had often before been in the hands of
the children and had frequently been
snapped" in a playful way but unfor-
tunately it was snapped" once toe
often. The discharge of squirrel shot,
which had been in the gun eight or ten
years, entered the little fellows right
groin but it was not thought that any
penetrated to the hollow. The right
hand was horribly mangled. A physi-
clan was at once summoned and it was
thought up until an hour or two before
the child's death that he stood a gooC
chance to get well but fate decreec
otherwise.
The funeral services were conducted
from the residence on Poplar street or
Sunday afternoon and was attended by
large number of sympathlzing friends
Burial took place at Odd Fellows GENE
terry. The dear little child is now safe
in the arms of Jesus who said "suffel
them to come unto me" and his goinl
away can but impress upon those lef
behind day by day that they have ;
jewel in the skies.
The unfortunate brother who wa.
holding the gun when it fired may fint
peace in the assurance that his little
brother is better off than he is and tina
the good Lord who rules above know
that it was an accident God holds hin
guiltless and while his heart may blee'
now let it be hoped that in the end i
will work out for him and the othe
members of the household far NOR
exceeding glory. The sincerest sym
pathy is extended the sorrowing family

Swdtting Slang.

Nearly everybody uses slang of some
kind occasionally. To counteract this
tendency. which seems to be growing.
Life has inaugurated a crusade against
it with veritable Friedman cure. Its
treatment consists in the injection of
the following virus:
Take it from us, kid, there's no
nourishment in singing slang stuff
That's cinch Slang is all to the bad.
1t don't get you anywhere. Forget
that Norwegian College professor who
says that American slang is swell talk.
He's trying to put one over on us.
Either someone has been handing him a
lemon or else he's trying to con us.
Listen. You can't make hit with the
tony guys unless you put little style
into your lingo. The trouble with slang
is that it puts your vocabulary on the
blink in a jitfy. And then, VIII IN you
want to have touch of high life and
throw the lugs. you're in bad. See?
Do you get us? Have some class about
you and cut it out.
Doesn't that get your goat?

Interesting New Book

Aninteresting book, entitled "Fiugers That See," by Nancy Buskett, is on sale at Hubbard's.
 The story deals with the experiences of little blind girl, whose parents did not even know how to read and write. The girl has a great talent for the violin but does not know it until persuaded to go to the State School for the Blind.
 She is an original girl-iust like other girls-aud gets into scrapes just as girls who see do. One day, in the sewing class, little bird chirps on the open window sill beside her. She puts out her hand to pet it, and it flies away. Without thinking she jumps out the window to follow it; finds her self in the glorious outdoor, and runs through the grass on to the boys side not knowing it until she stumbles over Jim Baker lying in the grass.
 Jim dares Carla to run race; then, to climb a fence, and finally they find an apple tree and eat all they can hold. Then Jim, who can see little, runs off and Carla cannot find her way back Co the school.
 There her punishment awaits her. Her friend Helen, a girl of refined pa rents, tries to save her, aud both are punished
 The story gives many funny incl dents and sayings, and Carla's little dog, Spat-with one ear and no tail- figures largely in her life.
 Miss Buskett, the author, is a news. paper woman and has dealt largely with young people. Her characters are true Co life and founded on fact.

A mother took her little daughter to have her picture made. The little girl refused to sit still, wiggled around aud was naughty in general. The photographer told the mother 10 leave the room, as he thought by that means he could get the "little darling" to sit still. The mother left and in few minutes was shown a copy of a good picture. After the mother and the child had left the place, the mother asked, "What did the nice gentleman say to mothers little darling to make her sit SO suu?"
