under the British crown ana II
furnished yeomen to the English
side in 1898. When he recently
inherited land from an uncle, an
English General, his tenants, buy
ing under the land act, were COM
PEELED to pay sums fixed by meth
DDS which were used by landlords
all over Ireland to get from their
tenants top prices for their land.
l believe that MIR. Redmond has
been swung to the English side
now by the inevitable effect Of
environment upon weak and
tinorous nature. No friendly
critic has ever pictured Mr.. Red
mond as a strong man. He lacks,
even according to his friends, the
fire of Mitchell, the earnestness of
Davitt, the cold, granite strength
of Parnell. His prominence came
to him by compromise, by the act
of the majority in putting forward
the leader of a small faction be-
cause they desired unity and be-
cause he was respectable figure
head, with good manners and
breeding, and the capacity to state
a proposition clearly in the House
of Commons.
For many years he has practi-
cally lived in England and con-
formed to English habits and
points of view. His wife is Eng
lish and his children have been
raised i'll the English atmosphere,
have gone to English schools and
moved in English social circles.
In a word, Mr.. Redmond has be-
come, to all intents and purposes,
an Englishman, still in a way
looking to Ireland as the field Of
his activities, but wanting more
and more to bind Ireland to Eng
land rather than to separate them
He has believed and taught ever
more strongly what he said at
Cambridge some years ago that
separation of Ireland from Eng.
land was impossible and, if pos
sible, was not desirable.'
This man, who during the
great part of his public career has
taught that Irish blood was toe
sacred to be shed even for the lib
erty of Ireland, now boasts that
largely in response to his call, five
hundred thousand young Irish
men have joined the English col
ors and scores of thousands Of
them have died on foreign fields
lighting against countries with
which Ireland has no quarrel ane
against foes who have never
struck blow against Irish life OF

ENTERTAIN RURAL
SCHOOL CHILDREN,
About I25 Assemble In Grenada.
Pig. Baby Beef and Corn Club
Work Encouraged.

Last Saturday was a great day for
many of the school children of the ru-
raj schools of the county who assem-
bled in Grenada at the instance of
County Superintendent of Education,
McKibben. Mr.. McKibben had secured
contributions from the merchants and
others of Grenada in order to make the
day pleasant and profitable one. A
nice program was arranged and new
life and inspiration was infused into
the domestic science, corn, beef and
pig club movement in the county.
There were about 125 children present
altogether and they all entered heartily
into the work and spirit of the occa-
sion. A delightful dinner was served
by the ladies' of the Episcopal church.
Addresses were made by Frank Farley,
the baby beef club specialist; P. H.
Sanders, who is at the head of the pig
club work; J. w. Willis, district demon
stration agent, and by Harry M. Par
ker, farm demonstration agent for
Madison county. Besides a number of
the teachers quite a number of the par.
ents of the county were present and
unquestionably all went home pleased
with the results of the day. The child.
rem were given automobile rides and
an hour at the picture show wound up
the program.

Mr.. and Mrs. Brooks Entertain.

Mr.. r. J. Morehead of Winborn,
Miss, enjoyed his 81st birthday at the
home of his son and daughter, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. P. Brooks, in Grenada last
Saturday. His brother, Rev. H. c..
Morehead and wife of Sidon were also
present. 1t was delightful day for
these excellent people and the hospi-
tality of this household was never more
fully shown than on this day. Many
things were discussed and there were
many references to the past which
stirred the hearts and the emotions of
the older ones, and when the days sun
went down behind the western hills all
felt better because of the occasion and
there was preparedness for the du-
ties of the morrow that always comes
of such happy gatherings. The More
head family are among the most sub
stantial citizens of North Mississippi
and from them have come two Metho-
dist ministers that have wrought much
in the way of garnering souls for
the Masters vineyard. Besides Rev.
n. C. Morehead, who long served as
presiding elder, is Rev. Rufus More
head who is one of the strongest and
most useful members of the Methodist
clergy in Arkansas.
1t is needless to add that Mr.. and
Mrs. Brooks richly enjoyed the day and
that they were glad to be the means of
bringing the several members of this
worthy family together.

franklin Announces for Congress.

The name of Hon. C. E. Franklin of
Pontotoc appeared in the announcement
columns of The Sentinel last week.
His entrance into the race makes sure
of three-cornered contest for congress
sional honors in this district and it
seems certain that there will yet be
others.
Mr.. Franklin is not an unknown guam
tity in the politics of the state and has
q large number of friends over the dis
trict and throughout the state who
would be more than glad at any honor
that came to him. That he is an hon.
est man, an upright citizen and worthy
of any trust, none will gainsav. He
has always cast his influence on the
side of that which he deemed for the
best of the commonwealth. As men,
ber of the State Senate he was one of
the leading forces in that body and to
him is given the credit of authorship of
the Uniform Text Book law and for
the bill that eliminated in the Agricul-
tural High Schools. 49,. ,.s.,'- La ,s
Mr.. ~Ffanklin in making his announce
ment states that he is for "peace pros
perity and preparedness. He places
himself unqualifiedly behind the Demo-
cratic President, Woodrow Wilson, and
insists that as the head of the party
Mr.. Wilson is entitled to the aid and
cooperation of the Democrats in Con-
gress. In announcing himself in favor
of preparedness" against war, he
gets into the same boat with President
Wilson who believes that reasonable
preparedness" for war is the only
safe means of assuring peace. In this
particular Mr.. FIanklin throws down
the gauntlet to the two worthy gentle
men already in the race, Messrs. Sis
son ard Ward, who are not altogether
in harmony with the President on this
proposition.
Mr.. Franklin states that he expects
to visit every neighborhood, town and
hamlet in the district and to discuss
with the voters the issues of the cam
paign. and the voters will doubtless
hear all the candidates patiently anc
weigh the matters discussed.

ficer, makes the following report for
month of March to the board of SUPER
visors:
l beg leave to hand you my monthly
report:

following schools: Carpenters, Spears,

those schools l, 1889.
Most of the rural school houses could
be greatly improved especially as re-
CARDS the way they are heated. The
yards around the most of them are very
much neglected and unkept. l must
make exception however to the Nebo
school, as the yard around this is beau
tifully kept and swept clean, under.
growth, grass and weeds all cut and
piled one hundred and fifty feet away
from the house. i find that almost
without exception the country schools
are entirely devoid of water closets,
which is extremely unsanitary and
dangerous to the health of the children.
l find that most of them are using
spring water and in some places the
water when it rains flows directly to-
| ward the spring from the surroundings
of the school house, and from this
spring drinking water is obtained.
"The trustees of all the schools should
get busy and build at each school two
sanitary and fly proof water closets.
1t will be the best investment they
could make and perhaps prevent sick
ness. possibly save some children's s
lives. l have inspected all the hotels,
restaurants, groceries, lunch counters,

On Sunday afternoon at o'clock, at

and Miss Leila Yeager were married,
Rev. j. W. Lee of Batesville officiating.
There were but a few outside of the

the sweet and lovely bride never looked
more charming. She was married in
her going away suit of blue broadcloth
and carried lovely bouquet of Killar-

took place under the parental roof and
when the sanctity and cordlality of the

"CITIZEN" URGES
CLEANUP ACTIVITY
Thinks Men Of Town Indifferent and
Somewhat Careless. Wants Gre.
ndda to Win Prize.

Editor Sentinel:
l want to make a few remarks in
connection with the efforts of the la
dies of the Civic League to clean up
the town. We have a most beautiful
little city and il shows up for a little
work better than any place | ever saw
1t is in fairly good condition now,
and with long pull, a strong pull, and
pull all together there is no reason
why we can't get the cleanest town
record. But what is the matter with
our men? They don't seem to have
any enthusiasm on the subject.
In almost every paper you pick up
you see an account of mass meetings Of
the men and ladies and all the business
organizations together, stirring I'D
things for cleaner and more sanitary
town all striving to have the cleanest,
prettiest place in the state. Now we
have the incest, finest men in the state
right here and know they are not go
ing to let their townsmen elsewhere
surpass them in their effort to carry
off the honors, for as one little boy said
today, IF the men up town don't help
the ladies, they had as well give up the
prize right now, for the ladies' cannot
clean up and keep the business section
clean. y It's up to you, o, men of the
town, as to the issue. Magnolia won
first honors last year because the men
went to work with much zeal. Won't
you rise to the emergency?

Laurel Lees sight has been impaired
through continued illness With measles.
Although she wears glasses. it Is still
difficult for her to attend pub lc school,
as she cannot see the work that is be-
ing done on the board, and const mt
study taxes her eyes too greatly. The
Children's Home Society seeks a home
for this little girl with a retired teacher
who is sympathetic and will devote her
spare time to talking to the child about
her studies and assisting her with her
music. Her defective sight at present
makes it hard for her to read notes.
She delights in practicing her exercises
on the piano, and with Just little care
will make splendid woman.
Many homes are open to little moth
erless children, but the Society has
failed to find one that will just fit
Laurel Lees case. ANY one interested
in helping this little girl may commu-
nicate with j. l.. Green. Supt., Box

Grenada to Have Fire Wagon.

The Board of Aldermen at their regu-
lar monthly meeting on Monday night
passed an order to purchase for the
city of Grenada fire truck.
On Tuesday morning contract was
signed for Is horse power combina-
ton chemical and hose car to be deliv-
cred in about ninety days. 1t is said
to be beautiful machine and carries a
40 gallon chemical tank with 200 feet
of chemical hose in addition to the
1900 foot capacity for regular water
lose, besides axes, crow bars and other
implements for fire fighting.
No doubt an up to- date and modern
fire station will be built shortly for this
car and for accommodations for the
firemen. This purchase no doubt is a
step forward and the Board is to be
commended.

Haydn Gunter Orchestra.

Grenada has had several good musi-
cal attractions this season but one of
the very best the music lovers enjoyed
on last Friday evening, March 81. when
the Haydn Gunter Orchestra was
heard in the Public School Auditorium.
Each member of the four piece or
chestra is an artist in his line and the
accompanist cannot be excelled. The
renditions of the orchestra ensemble
were splendid but the star of the eye-
ming was Haydn Gunter, violinist, who
has master touch.
They were here under the auspices OF
the Playground Association, to whom
a vote of thanks is due, and we hope
Grenada will have the pleasure of hear.
ing these artists again soon.

Committee Waits on Supervisors

The Grenada County Live Stock AS

a fairly good attendance. Several rou-

interest continued to be manifested in
the cattle and hog industry in the coun-

The meeting discussed some matters
pertinent to the general welfare of the
county and at the instance of Mr.. V. A
Bridgers, committee was named to
appear before the board of supervisors
to protest against payments for certain
road work. The committee named was,

Home Wanted for Unfortunate Child

Little homeless Laurel Lee is a dear
child of just eleven summers. Her
disposition is as winsome as she is low
ely. Her mother went to the far away
country from whence none ever return
before Laurel Lee had begun to realize
what a very precious possession a
mother is. Then her father, who had
been taken away from her by the Grim
Reaper. Death, too early to even be
remembered by her, left the little girl
without any one to rear her or give her
chance. She has one brother who
is not able to educate and care for his
sister.

Out.Of. Town Sellers Beat Taxes.

Grenada had representative of an
out-of town merchant in her midst this
week. A letter was received by one of
the leading merchants of the town
Thursday from reliable citizen of a
nearby town stating that his town had
been visited by out of-town sellers and
that purchasers were told that goods
ordered could not be delivered right
then but would ship them out from
Grenada. This puts them on equal
footing with the local merchant and
helps them to avoid paying taxes as
well. Whom does that help?
