THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
Peoples Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex
t~ensively advertised, all at once drop
out of sight and are SCOT forgotten?
The reason is PLAINTIFF article did not
fulfil the promises of the manufacturer.
This applies more particularly to a medi-
cine. A medicinal preparation that has
real curative value almost sells itself,
as like an endless chain system the
remedy is recommended by those who
have been benefited, to those who are
in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation l have sold for mary years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that l know of
has so large a SALE"
According to worn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the success
of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to
the fact that it fulfls almost every wish
in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder
diseases, corrects urinary troubles and
n~eutralizes the uric acid which causes
rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bipghampton, NY,
and enclose ten cents; also mention The
Grenada Sentinel.

Two Worthy Young Men.

There is hardly a more attrac tive
and pleasing sight than a look into a
happy home. where there are bright,
frolicsome little children and where the
father and the mother make them the
very first objects of their thought and
care. There are many of them. yea
very many, but the homes the writer
has in mind just now, are those of Mr..
W. Vassar Dubard and Mr.. Lewis A.
Dubard, this county. They are sur
rounded with all necessary comforts,
their houses are well arranged and their
wives are just those sweet, trusting,
confiding and helpful women that enter
heartily into everything that concerns
the welfare and the interests of their
husbands. These gentlemen are sons
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. M. Dubard of Gre
NADIA, and it is hardly an extravagant
statement to say that the home life Of
these good parents has been almostideal,
as the m and the daughters who have
gone out from there will attest. Mr..
ana MRS. DuDarQ nave not Deen swept
on with the tide but they have followed
what they believed to be best and right
in handling their children, regardless of
what others were doing.
The particular subjects of this ar
ticle, Messrs Vassar and Lewis Dubard
are Industrious, frugal. intelligent and
enterprising. They are not afraid of
manual labor but are oftentimes en-
gagged in the work of an ordinary la
borer. They are absolutely trust
worthy, are careful about their obliga-
tons to their church, are companion
able and can always be counted upon to
lend an active influence to the promo
ton Of those things calculated for the
betterment of society. They were
reared right and are following the paths
mapped out by their teachers -their
parents. There is nothing pompous OF
ostentatious about either of them but
on the contrary they are becomingly
retiring. Such characters are a bene-
faction to the public.

Professor Lee of New York Univer-
sity suggests the inclusion of a good
daily newspaper in the curriculum of
the schools as a substitute for certain
classics which are now used as text
books of rhetoric and grammar
The love of literature is not encour-
aged. among children, by the minute
analysis of those who would apply 1.-THE
laboratory method to the printed word.
Sometimes the fact that a book was
read under forced draught, as part of
the compulsory schedule prescribed by
a committee for entrance to college,
has creased a positive disaffection for
the author in question that has persist
ed into later life. Some of the works
chosen have obviously been named by
persons who had forgotten what chill
dren are like and had presumed too
much upon juvenile assimilative capa-
city.
Newspaper English-'journalese" it
has been called-is often the target of
censure Some of the adverse criti-
eism is offered by those innocent of
syntax and spelling, whose slipshod
language defeats the force of their
critical authority. They make no al
Iowance for the conditions under which
newspapers are produced. and they are
surprised that misprints occur or that
linotypes are perverse and lines or head
ings go astray. There is not, as a rule,
the leasure to deliberate in the produc-
ton of a newspaper; what is done must
be done quickly, and the remarkable
fact is not that so much careless writ
ing finds its way into print, but that the
infractions of the academic rules and
canons are few in proportion to the
number of chances offered in so many
crowded columns of text.
Can it fairly be said that the letters
of persons who consider themselves in
A'polite society," are as a rule better
written than the newspapers that are
admitted to their homes? The we'll
equipped journalist must possess him
self of a store of general information
on a diversity of topics, and, like the
lawyer, must be able to acquaint him
self at short notice with other subjects
previously unfamiliar. There are many
educated men who, realizing the need
Of keeping abreast of current events
described in succinct, straight forward
fashion. would dispense with a large
part of their working libraries rather
than give up the newspaper that, il
properly edited and written, is the most
valuable adjunct to a liberal education,

A Card of Thanks.

The Circle of The Kings Daughters
in Grenada desires to thank each one of
those who responded to u annual ap-
peal in December. Your willing and
pleasant response caused the soliciting
committee to declare concerning their
work, instead Of it being an irksome
duty, it was a real pleasure" We
thank you most heartily and will en-
deavor to be faithful stewards. We
make mistakes it's true, and for which
we are sorry, but we err on the side of
mercy as a rule.
The Grenada Circle was organized the
18th of January, 1888. Twenty-seven
years of service for suffering, sorrow
ing humanity has been the privilege of
the Circle; a work most honorable for
those who are Daughters and Sons of
the King. For ''inasmuch as we do it
unto one of the least Of these" He
takes it as done unto Himself our King.
The Circle now has a membership of
sixty-one. With the loyalty and faith
fitness of each member, and with the
continued confidence and cooperation
of the business men of the town the
coming years can be made to count for
a greater blessing to others than the
past have been. The purpose of the
order is: ITO develop spiritual life, and
stimulate Christian activities"
Our Motto: %.
Look up and not down,
Look out, not in,
Look forward not backward,
Lord lend a hand"
Our watch-word:
''In His name"
''In His name" we again thank yor
for making it possible for the Circle t.
minister to humanity.
Most earnestly in His service,
Mrs. W. H. Whitaker, Leader,
Mrs. B. C. Adams, V. Leader,
Mrs. Wade Stokes, Secretary,
Miss Belle Ayers, Treasurer,

to me that it is time the ''cudgel'

No longer do the children study gram

When you and l were studying gram

to learn the rules and apply them; we
were corrected in school and at home
every time we made an error, and kept
on the alert. People in polite society
prided themselves on the use of good
English, and the young people were
taught that their social standing would
be gagged in a measure by the class of
English they used. Slang and bad Eng

saying ''myse(f went" While it is true
that myset is both nominative and OBJ
%jective form, it is bad English used as
a simple personal pronoun; its use being
intended only as its name signifies, fol

When we see and hear those in High
