PART OF GRAND JURY REPORT
Pubic Roads and County Home
Come in for Consideration

The Sentinel has been requested to
publish the following from the final
report of the recent grand jury:
I'VE have examined the County
Home and find it unsanitary and
poorly kept. The inmates are insult
ficiently furnished with bedding and
other necessities, such as knives and
forks, as should be. The grand jury
requests the board of supervisors to
provide said home with more and bet
ter bedding and would further rec
commend that said home be screened.
We have made an investigation of
the public roads and find that the
roads in beats and are in bad con-
dition and not built up to plans
and specifications and we recon-
mend that the board of supervisors
hold such unpaid sums on such con-
tracts until they are complied with
in full and we further recommend
that the attorney for the board of su-
pervisors be requested and command
to enforce the forfeits of S25.00 per
week, as provided in said contracts,
where the contractor fails to put the
roads up to contract and that no
further time be granted contractors
when their quarterly payments are
due and that the board only pay for
completed roads,"

MRS. HERBERT KETTLE
DIED SUNDAY NIGHT

After a lingering illness of sew
eral months of tubercular trouble,
Mrs. Herbert Kettle died last Sunday
night at her home in Grenada and her
remains were carried to Cascilla the
next day and laid to rest at the bury
ing ground near old Ashland Church
after funeral services conducted by
Rev. J. D. Rice, of the Baptist
church. There is something espec-
tally sad that one so young and so
bright should so early b called to the
Judgment but this pure and lovely
woman was ready for the Masters
summons. She was only 10 years of
age, having only about two years ago
married her devoted husband who
is left to mourn for her. She was a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar
Barnett of Iuka, her mother was Miss
Mamie Pressgrove, a daughter of A.
M. Pressgrovegat Cascilla.

Among those who gathered at

CITY LUMBER co. HAVE
ANOTHER BIG CONTRACT

The City Lumber Co., of Grenada
have been awarded another big con-
tract, this time the repairs and i'm
provements at Grenada College and
the work is already under way.
This concern acts upon the theory
to get busy and stay busy and the
fact that it is awarded theseimport-
ant contracts is nice compliment
to the proprietors, Messrs. S. J. Sim
mons and F. T. Gerard, and to
their methods of transacting business
They are men of we'll known integri-
ty and it is we'll understood that they
always try to give square DEAL.
They have a large lumber yard and
already on hand all necessary mate
rial that usually goes into any first
class structure. The fact that they
buy largely enables them to sell to
the public at satisfactory prices. Nc
mistake will be made in figuring
with the City Lumber Co., on any
building contract or in interviewing
them before buying umber, lime, ce'
ment, sash, doors, or ony other ma
terials for any structure.

Saturday night when the news went
over town that Mrs. Walter Sabin
had died at 9:45 o'clock. But few
knew that she was even i'll. On
Thursday she was upon the streets
but on Friday afternoon was taken
suddenly ill, yet she phoned her hus-
band, who was at his store, and when
he reached the residence her remarks
indicated that she regarded the at
tack as fatal. All that could be done
by physicians and loving hands was
done but the fiat had gone forth that
she had finished her earthly course
and that her mansion in Heaven had
been made ready, so it was that she

Mrs. Sabin was noted for her good
deeds, for her gentleness, for her
thoughtfulness of others and for the
good she tried to do. She was an
earnest and faithful worker in the
Methodist Church and truly Chris

home as wife and mother that she
shone the brightest, it was there that
she found her greatest consolation
and that she reflected most beauti-
fully those Heavenly graces that are
woman's chief adornment. Death
is always regarded as cruel and his
visitations leave sadness and sorrow
in his wake but when the mother of
little children is called away. then it

the summons; she had kept the faith
and was ready to dwell with the An

spirit back to the God who gave it
and that there was joy and acclaim
in that blissfull abode when she en-
tered the portals of that City whose
streets are resplendent with gold and
and costly pearls.
Mrs. Sabin was daughter of Mr..

of the best families in Montgomery
