 Should the United States be com pelled to raise volunteer army, there will be plenty of men who will volun- teer, providing they can go as col onels. Lieutenant colonels may be found without difficulty, and there will didates for jobs as majors, captains and Heutenants. A few humble citi- zens Will go as sergeants, company clerks and as cOrporals. The great task will be to find a few bright young men to take the private's jobs To be q private requires that a man must take orders, including plenty of fool ones; must do night guard duty while the officers sleep; must fight with the flies for a tin plate full of "slum'' and a can of black coffee, while the of- fcers eat regular food in a screened field dining room, and must funky more or less for officers, many of whom were his social and business interiors at home.
 A volunteer armNz@ in the nature of things, is more or less den- acratic, and conditions ally after a protra cted war can be mace similar to those of the regular army. There will be plenty of volunteers for volunteer officers jobs, for al7 officer may resign when he gets tired of it, but the responsesto the call for plain, %.everyday privates will be the real test of the war spirit

Paving Contract Awarded.

''lf at first you don't succeed try
again has brought success to the pro-
gressive citizens of Grenada who have
so long interested themselves in the
paving of First street and the Public
Squire Undaunted by one defeat and
another postponement. they picked
their tints and came again and this
time they were rewarded by seeing the
contract let for the work above refer
red to to Sullivan, Long & Haggerty of
Bessemer, Ala. at and for the sum of
$50, 937. 90, which is severa. hundred
dollars less, so The Sentinel is advised.
than the price the work was bid in for
on former occasion when the bidders,
for some reason. fluked ON the job.
The work is to be completed in four
months from June |, which will run to
Oct |. 1t is step forward in the life
of Grenada and a matter upon which,
the City Council should be congratulate
ed and commended. Naturally there
was some difference of opinion as to
the advisability of doing this paving
but the issue was fought out in the
best of spirits and those who were fig
uratively speaking Clicked, took their
medicine like little men and are ready
to see the work pushed to hasty con.
clusion.
There seven bidders for the job. The
paving is to be done with creosoted
wood blocks. S25, ,000 90 in bonds were
sold more than year ago for the pur.
pose of getting funds to do the paving.

Negro Girl Bitten by Mad Dog.

On Friday of last week Bennie Williams
colored, was bitten by dog on the
premises which gave evidence of hy-
drophobia. Medical aid was sought for
the child which resulted in DR.. j. w.
Young, county health officer, causing
the head of the dog to be amputated for
the purpose of sending it to the proper
authorities att Jackson to have the parts
analysed in order to determine whether
or not the dog had hydrophobia. The
head was sent down and a wire came
the next day to DR.. Young stating that
the dog unquestionably had the rabbies.
The child was sent to Jackson Tues
day for treatment which it is hoped will
save it from the horrible fate of hydro.
phobia. There was nothing especially
unusual about the dog until it bit the
child which carries the lesson that all
should beware of dogs at this time. 1t
siis too late after something terrible has
happened
. The City Council, acting on the advice
> of DR.. Young, passed Monday night an
order which requires all dogs muzzled
after May 8 and those which are not
muzzled and are seen upon the streets
are to be killed by the marshal or his
deputy.
Dog owners had best beware if they
want their dogs not to make food for
buzzards.

Approves Consolidated School.
Cascilla, Miss, April "a. 1916.

Editor Sentinel:
Dear Sir-If you will allow me space
in your paper, will give my views on
some leading issues that should be of
interest to every citizen and especially
to every parent. There has been sew
eral meetings held in our section of the
country, getting up interest in favor a
consolidated school in our section.
have attended all of the meetings and
find to my surprise that the only oppo-
sition is from people as poor as church
mouse. 1t is true am poor, but when
property owners offer to tax them
selves to build school that would
make it possible for me to give my
children high school education, | am
thankful that God gave me sense enough
and love enough for my children to ac-
cept the offer l feel that any poor
man or woman who would try to block
the way of consolidated school, and
thereby prevent their own children
from obtaining an education, should
have guardian appointed over their
children, and not have right to vote
on the question. l feel free to speak
as ! do for l am as poor Gas far as
worldly goods are concerned) as most
any one, yet have love for my chill
dren, and want to see them fixed for
the duties of life. There is no other
asset so available to boy or girl as
complete education. God have mercy
on the man or woman who has so little
love and care for their children to want
to see them grow up in ignorance, is
my prayer. K. c. Brewton.

More About "Clean.Up."

Editor Sentinel:
Through your paper we desire to ex-
press our appreciation of the co-opera-
tion of every man, woman and child in
town in our effort for a cleaner town.
Unless you had been in our spotless
parade you could not know how really
beautiful and clean our lovely little city
looked on Thursday last when we
'showed it off, to the State Sanitary
Inspector. We think he was much i'm
pressed with it, though he told us a
few things which must be done before
we could get the prize. For the bene-
tit of those who did not hear his ad-
dress l will state them:

fight the Fly. Under no consideration
would he give q grade to any grocery,
restaurant, soda fount, bakery, hotel,
or meat market that had flies crawling
on things to eat, cooked or uncooked.

ment dwelling amongst us, under no
consideration should there be any open.

them in. No unscreened garbage-can
must be tolerated anywhere, in any
house.
Now friends, with the instructions
given as. we can certainly win if we
will each of us do our duty, and see
that ours comes up to the requirements.
He further states that he is coming
in at the REAR door when he comes to
make his final grading, which will be
before the 9th inst, the date having
been extended from the 9th, and that
he will not let anyone know when he
is coming. Please let's every one of us
be sure each day that our back door

appearance of their business places; not

our courage, be ever on the alert, he
will not ''catch US mapping" and the
goal will be reached, the trophy be

Mrs. J. n. Roberts Of Younq's
NeighhorhO0d Is Dead,

The Sentinel regrets to chronicle the
death of Mrs. j. N. Roberts. whose
death occurred the early part OF the
week at her home in the Younp's
neighborhood in the eastern portion of
this county. 1t was not the writer
privilege to know this good woman but
those who did know her always spoke
OF her as a gracious, kind and Christian
character and as she impressed herself
upon all so she must have been, and the
Scriptures warrant the conviction that
all such are carried to realms of eternal
bliss. She was member of the Bap-
fist church, loving and devoted wife
and q kind and thoughtful mother as
we'll as considerate neighbor and
friend. Mrs. Roberts had been regard
ed as in precarious health for some
months but it was not until recently
that her recovery was despaired of.
Besides her grief stricken husband
who is one of the county's truest and
best citizens, Mrs. Roberts is survived
by several children and other relatives
to whom The Sentinel tenders the sin.

vegetables to be canned. Mrs. E. d.
Holcomb was elected president, Mrs.

ing the ladies will make a Fireless
Cooker at no expense, using only old
materials. After that few demon.
stratiOns in Fireless Cookery will be
given.
The Holcomb. Black Creek, Hillside
and Grenada Clubs were visited. Al
each place the instructions for keeping
the little daily record book were given.
The girls were very glad to get the
book and to discard the scrap of paper
they had been using, and then you see,
it is so much more like ''real bust
ness. A scoring demonstration was
also given to show the girls what is a
good can of tomatoes for the market.
The prices of Gamers and tins were
discussed. Anew Club song was learned
and few new games played.
At Hillside four new members were
enrolled, making club of members
at that place.
Inspections of the ten acres proved
that the girls had all read the informa-
tion mailed them on plot selection and
had followed that instruction plus few
suggestions from papa, and as a result
have all gotten good plots of ground.
So we hope for some good tomatoes.
