DR.. Whitaker HOnOred.

The great Layman's Missionary Move
ment which is to hold its fourth annual
convention at Dallas, Texas, February
1926 has signally honored DR.. w. H.
Whitaker of Grenada in designating
him to respond to the address of well
come, a duty DR.. Whitaker will no
doubt perform with great credit. With
all the great intellects that are 10 be at
this convention it is indeed a high COM
pliment paid DR.. Whitaker IN naming
him for this important feature on the
program and it is one upon which his
many friends congratulate him. The
Doctor and his excellent wife are now
enjoying themselves on the Mississippi
coast at Biloxi and this means that
they are eating spring vegetables, oys-
tiers, fish and the many other tempting
edibles which are served only in that
vicinity at this time. Mrs. Whitaker
will probably accompany the Doctor to
Dallas and they will not return to Gre.
NADIA until probably in March.

II. j. Staten Announces.

H. ]. Staten of the Oxberry COM
munity is in the race for the office of
sheriff. Mr.. Staten was in the race
four years ago and made a very credit
able showing, showing that encourages
him and his friends to believe that he
has a splendid chance to succeed in the
present contest.
Mr.. Staten was born and reared in
the western portion of Grenada county
and all of his interests as well as his
relatives and close friends are in this
immediate section. 1t is needless to
state that he has met the obligations of
citizenship in a way and name that
have established him in the confidence OF
his neighbors and the public in the way
that every good man should desire. He
is an open, candid character, has agen-
ial disposition and, so far as he is able,
| always contributes to the distresses OF
humanity and to the unfortunate. He
will do his best at anything he under
takes and if placed by the people in the
important trust which he seeks, he will
be faithful and make the very best of
fcer of which he is capable.

T. F. Wier for Sheriff.

The Sentinel is authorized to say to
the voters of Grenada county that Mr..
T. F. Wier is a candidate for the office
of Sheriff. 1t will be recalled that Mr..
Wier filled out the unexpired term of
his father as county treasurer and that
S o long as his mother lived the emolu-
ments of the Office went to her, an act
which was worthy of commentator.
He is a farmer and has devoted his
time and his talents assiduously to his
farm. If he has not been equal to the
highest and best duties of citizenship
his derlictions in this regard have never
been given a public airing. He is liv.
ing within a few miles of where he was
born. His life has been spent among
his boyhood friends and acquaintance
and certainly there can be little about
his life and character that is bidder
away. He is a good neighbor and a.
he has lived as a private citizen so would
he be as a public officer, it is therefore
safe to state that if elected sheriff, h.
would be faithful rnd render a just &C
count of all money committed to hi
hands.
Mr.. Wier will no doubt interview
personally the voters of the county.

NJ. +. Powell Gets
Into The Race.

While it has been understood by many
for several months that Mr.. M. E.
Powell would be among those aspiring
to the Office of chancery clerk in Gre
NADIA county yet he has not until now
made a formal announcement of his
candidacy. Mr.. Powell has made the
race for the ~chancery clerks Office
twice before and in both contests he
had a splendid support, such a support
as would seem to be unusually encourag-
| ing for the present contest.
He is a man upon whose word the
public can absolutely rely. He is un-
p~retentious, outspoken and candid and
is without that assimilation which too
many have begun to realize as a part
of the character of those seeking the
suffrage of their fellow citizens. He is
honest, industrious and is thoroughly
capacitated to meet the duties of the
chancery clerks Office.
Death early deprived him of the care
and love of a father and mother which,
together with many hardships of youth,
made it impossible for him to obtain
many educational advantages, yet he
idled away no time and there are none
who know him that do not believe that
he would be faithful in any trust. He
is naturally polite and clever, and il
chosen to the office which he seeks,
will do his best to render a faithful
stewardship.

Changes in Bank
of Commerce.

Mr.. S. T. Tatum has retired from the
presidency of the Bank of Commerce
and has been succeeded by Mr.. E. C.
Nicely, who has been with the firm of
Jno. p. Jones & Co. for the past
two years. Mr.. Nicely is a most excel
lent gentleman and has the ability. push
and enterprise necessary for an up-to-
date business man and his many friends
in Grenada wish him well in his new
undertaking.

READ MARkHAM'S ARTICLE.

The Sentinel gives space this week to a public letter recently
issued by President Markham of the Illinois Central Railroad. 1t is
in tone and has the ring of absolute sincerity. The let
ter contains some facts and some figures that will be of general
interest.
No good man would deny to a railroad company or to any other
concern or individual that which he would claim for himself In
the neghborhood where there is not a friendly interest between
neighbors and where the spirit of cooperation is lacking, good
citizens prefer a home elsewhere. The railroads and the people must
of necessity do business together and the better the understanding
that exists between them the better for all. Good people should be
Just as far from tolerating prejudice and passion as they would
extortion or any other pernicious practice.

iJr. F. E. Turner, a prosperous and
worthy young man of Tie Plant, was
married Sunday afternoon at the Meth

A. Hall to Miss Sarah A. Hendricks, a
very attractive young lady from Mont
gomery county. The Sentinel wishes
for them a full measure of happiness.

The Tennessee legislature did a wise thing in turning a deaf ear
to the cities of Memphis, Chattanooga and Nashville in their pro-
tests against the Custer Bill" The Democratic legislators outside
of these cities got a lesson from the six years of Governor Hooper
Republican. They learned that the people in the small towns and
in the country were in earnest about the enforcement of the prohi-
biuon law. The legislature also learned that when the Memphis
bunch was for a thing that that of itself was a mighty good reason
for those interested in clean politics to be against it. Since the
"Ouster Bill, was passed the Memphis authorities have gotten busy
to enforce the law because they know they will pulled away from
the public teat if they do not do so. Hurrah!

CONVICTS ON THE ROADS.

NASHVILLE, TENN, JAN. 5-Gov. b. w. Hooper, in a message
to the legislature today, said he was in favor of working the
convicts on the public roads. but ION the honor system, without
chains, shackles or guns and giving them an extra deduction
from their sentences as an incentive to discipline.
HE said he was not IN favor of working only short-term on
victs on the roads, because this classification would not harmo-
nze with the honor system. He expressed the belief that the
roads could be worked more cheaply with free labor than with
convict labor, but the use of convicts would mean the procure
ment of many miles of road that otherwise would not be built. "
The pile of money that comes to the state from the hire of con
victs may blind Aabaminans to the spectacle of what is going on in
other states, but. in course of time, even the bindest will learn
The making of roads is of greater economic value than the money
the state gets from the mine operators. Good roads make a sue
cessful country, add to the general wealth, add increase revenues
not one time, but every year, whereas the convict money is practi
cally the same thing from year to year, and there is nothing con
structive in the system, and nothing moral either.
The states that have adopted the convict work on the roads ar
making progress in agriculture, commerce, education and in ever
other way. We, in Alabama, are hanging on to our convict revenu
as if it were a life and death matter to us We have a very sma
view of the situation. That is what is the matter with us-Mobil
