Mr.. {. 6. Brewer Goes to ClarkSdaie

Mr.. E. c. Brewer until recently of
the law firm of Morrison & Brewer of
this city. left the early part of the week
for Clarksdale where he becomes q
member of the law firm of Brewer,
Brewer & Brewer, the senior member
of the firm being Ex- Gov. Earl Brewer.
To be rendered partnership by Gov
Brewer is no small compliment to any
lawyer and especially to young attor-
ney with only little less than two
years experience at the bar, but The
Sentinel hazards the statement that
Ed Brewer will be equal to the task he
has undertaken and that time win soon
show the Ex-Governor's good Judgment
was with him in picking this young
man as in tslnost everything else that
he does.
Ed. Brewer came to Grenada in the
summer of 1914 and took charge of the
law Office of Hon. s. A. Morrison while
the latter was prosecuting a race for
congress. He showed a familiarity
with legal affairs and tact in hand
ling matters that would have done
credit to one many years his senior.
His firm has had fair share of the le-
gal business at this bar and Mr.. Brewer
has shown marked ability and a skill
and cleverness in presenting his cases
to the courts that has done him great
credit. He has been successful in the
practice and had he remained here and
kept the pace set for the past eighteen
months, he would soon have been rec.
ognized as one of the leading members
of the bar in this section.
Mr.. Brewer is graduate of the lit
erary department of Vanderbilt Uni
versity and of the law department. Of
the State University, and is a young
man thoroughly equipped by training
and by culture for the complex duties
of life. He is Industrious and perse--
vering and is fortunately endowed with
an abundance of good common sense. q
faculty that greatly enhances the capi-
tai of any man. He has winning per-
sonality and naturally makes friends
readily. Taken all in all, Ed. Brewer
is worthy of every confidence and if he
| continues blessed with good health he
is destined to forge to the front in his
profession and to take rank with the
leading men of the state,
Grenada regrets to lose him and his
very charming and excellent wife as
citizens but unqualifiedly commends
them to the good people of Clarksdale...

Fight on Fake Sulphur
Land Scheme Grows.

Lake Charles, La, Jan. 81. The
Lake Charles Chamber of Commerce
has taken up the war on the sulphur
lot selling schemes by which land CON-
paratively worthless is being sold in
small parcels to credulous investors at
the rate of more than $4,000 an acre,
and has issued statement which is be-
ing mailed to every commercial body
and large number of the newspapers
in the United States.
The banks, chamber of commerce,
newspapers, business men and individ-
ual citizens of Lake Charles have been
flooded with inquiries for six months
in regard to these concerns, and the
letters show that they are operating
in every southern state and in some of
the northern states. One was from a
prominent Iron Mountain railway off
cial in st. Louis who said that a num-
ber of his employees had been drawn
into the net.
The above from the New Orleans
Item speaks for itself. The Sentinel
knows nothing of the sulphur lands but
has received several newspaper clip
pings branding the affair as a fraud.
1t would perhaps be well for those who
are thinking of investing to look into
the proposition before 'signing up" or
turning loose any cash.

CITIZENS REVIVE OPERA
HOUSE BUILDING.
Strong Probability Bonds will be Sold
to Finish Building Already Begun.

Quite number of the citizens of
Grenada gathered over the Grenada
Bank on Friday of last week to consider
the matter Of erecting an opera house
in Grenada. 1t will be recalled that
when the European war broke out that
plans had almost materialized for the
erection of an opera house but the
financial embarrassment of the country
incident to those startling days caused
the matter to lag and apparently drift
into innocuous desuetude but better
days are coming and those things which
have been in state Of inanimation are
coming around again.
The building begun by the Lockett
Lumber Co. for the Woodmen of the
World on the northwest corner of the
square stands hardly one-fourth COM
pleted. Mr.. Lockett makes very at
tractive proposition as to completing
the building and while no plans were
matured at the meeting above referred
to, it is stated that it was tentatively
understood that bonds would be sold to
complete opera house plans. 1t was
also understood that the bonds would
be offered in small denominations, per.
haps from $25 up so as to make the
project a popular one and interest q
very large number.
1t would seem that Grenada is well
able to provide the best in the way Of
theatrical companies and opera attrac-
tions and inquest tionably an opera house
would be the means of bringing many
people here that do not come quite Of
ten enough now. The project will nc
doubt receive due attention and The
Sentinel expects to be able to announce
real soon that the long deferred build
ing will soon be a reality.

RESULT OF FIRST
CITY PRIMARY.
Thomas and Taium. Gerard and Hall.
Meek and TaIbert. Mcdaniel and
Horton in Run.off Feb. II.
Rather Tame Contest.

Grenada has her municipal election
every two years. the general election
of city officials being fixed for the first
Monday in each May, but, as in county
and state elections, primaries are had
in advance to name the candidates who
are to make the race on the Democratic
ticket. There was very little interest
or election enthusiasm over the contest,
things that were wanting no boubt be-
cause of the exec ptionally high char
acter of all the candidates and because
SO per cent of the voters held each and
all of them in the highest personal es-
TEEN. There were three candidates
for mayor, the present incumbent, Maj.
B. F. Thomas, who is now serving his
second term; ex-Mayor S. T. Tatum
and j. l.. Barnard. a prominent young
attorney. The present marshal. Claud
Hall. who is serving his third term, was
opposed by ex-Marshal E. Girard and
John Horton. The other officers to be
nominated we're: Recorder, treasurer,
two councilmen for the city at large
and councilman each for the East and
West wards.
The vote last Saturday was as fol-
lows: For mayor, B. F. Thomas 1877,
S. T. Tatum 1O9, j. l.. Barnard 20; for
marshal, A. Gerard 151, Claud Hall 124,
]. J. Horton II; for recorder, H. G..
Talbert l49, T. H. Meek 1876, L. B.
James 63; for treasurer, T. G. Free
man 70, C. E. Lamb SO, j. H. Carter
SO, W. w. Grantham Al, ]. T. Smith
IA; for aldermen, city at large, R.
Pressgrove TT, j. H.. Horn 212, T. E
Heath 116, j. H. Brown SO; for alder
men East Ward, W. P. Ferguson 10,
J. j. Hardy 46, w. A. Thompson ia,
Walter Schultz 70; for aldermen West
Ward, Robert Horton "a, J. W.. Vance
1O3, E. L. Mcdaniel rs.
From the above it will be seen that
the second race for mayor, which will
take place Feb. IL, will be between
Thomas and Tatum, the race for mar
shal between Gerard and Hall, and the
race for treasurer between Lamb anc
Carter.
Pressgrove and Horn are nominated
for aldermen for the city at large, Fer
guson and Thompson for aldermen in
the Earst Ward. Vance is nominated
for alderman in the West Ward, but
the race for the other alderman in the
West Ward will be run off between
Horton and Mcdaniel
At the second primary, Feb. IL, there
will be on the ticket two candidates fol
mayor, two for recorder, two for treas
urer and two for aldermen in West
Ward, as we'll as the names of execu-
tive committeeman to be nominated.

Or. I. ". Jones Answers Last Gall.


DR.. 7. w. Jones. Rector of All Saints
Episcopal church in Grenada, answered
earth's last call at the rectory last
Tuesday morning at o'clock He had
been III only few days but from the
first his illness assumed an aggravated
form. The remains were inferred in
Odd Fellows cemetery on Wednesday
afternoon after services, in the church
which he had so satisfactorily served
for the past twenty months, conducted
by DR.. Gordon Smeade, arch deacon of
this diocese. The funeral services
were largely attended Notwithstanding
the inclemency of the weather and the
remains were followed to their last
resting place by many sorrowing hearts
over the visitation of that fate which
is inevitable to all.
DR.. Jones was born in Tennessee
sixty-four years ago. He was largely
educated in Virginia where he also
studied for that sacred work to which
he afterwards devoted his life. He
had been in the ministry thirty. one
years and during all that time had
naturally had varied experience which
he appropriated to the best of his judg-
ment to the perfection OF his work. He
was a man Of broad information and
always manifested deep and abiding
sympathy in the welfare and sorrow
of his fellow creatures. He was
thoughtful, kind and considerate and
evidences of the Christian graces
were always marked in his life and in
his conduct. That he fought a good
fight and kept the true faith and that
he is now enjoying that reward in the
beautiful home beyond the skies which
is promised to those who keep their
eyes upon Calvary's cross, is borne out
by all those who had the good fortune
to be intimately associated with him
and who were in position to know the
true nobility of his soul.
DR.. Jones came to Grenada in the
early spring of 1914 and few months
after he arrived, his wife, who had
been in precarious health for a long
while, died. A few months ago he had
the good fortune to claim one of the
noble women of Virginia. in the person
of Miss Sallie Campbell, who is now
left in sorrow and anguish of heart,
as his second wife. Besides the widow,
DR.. Jones left one daughter, Mrs. J. R.
Parkerson, of New Orleans and five
sons as legacy to the world. Two of
his sons, Walker and Stafford. have
been with him in Grenada much of the
time. One of lis sons, Mr.. Gordon
Jones, makes his home in Houston,
Texas, another in Denver, and still an
other in st. Louis. All of the family,
except Stafford and the one in the
north-weet, were here during the last
hours Of their fathers illness.
To the grief.stricken The Sentinel
tenders sympathy and bids them to
look to the source Of all good things for
that consolation which can not be icurd
in this life.

Wars and Words.

The wars with Spain in the sixteenth
century enriched the English language
with many new words. To them, as
Logan Pearsall Smith has pointed out,
I'VE owe the Spanish words embargo

Flemish terms that were perhaps
brought back to England by soldiers in

The Eternal Conflict.

Society is nothing more than con-
tinuation of the conflict of nature un-
der the guidance of intelligence. It is
vain to hope for any amelioration Of
society from the prevalence of an In
tellectual education. Culture of the In
tellect supplies new weapons for use
In the conflict and may render it less
rude in appearance, but cannot change
its nature. Doctrines and
creeds are forms; the will supplies
their contents. Just as a vehicle may
convey substances having wholesome
or injurious or Indifferent properties,
so any. system of thinking-theolog
ical, social or political-may be made
to bear any purport, good or bad. To
try to shape opinions so that they may
not be made subservient to any evil

diplomat who was sent to Constant

One day the diplomat met carriage
guarded by eunuch that contained
some ladies of the sultan's harem. The
young man endeavored to peep In at
the window and got blow across the

made great uproar and lodged COM

received in private audience, and Alb

story of the outrage.
On its conclusion the sultan replied:
my dear sir, have gone carefully
into the case and see exactly how it
stands. You are a gentleman: there

such breach Of good manners as is
alleged to have taken place, and conse-

CORN CLUB CHAMPION

Bushels OF sheIIed Corn At Cost
OF 1919 Cents Per Bushel.
WILLIAM TROY,
queen Anne's County.

/ succeeded in growing my acre OF
corn by making up my mind to COM
plete the contest when | asked my
brother to let me have an acre OF
ground to enter the Corn Club. Mr..
H. S. Koehler, our County Demonstra-
ton Agent, told me to get a piece OF
ground and have it covered with a
heavy coat of manure. l was given
the ground at the last School Fair. 1t
had grown a crop of tomatoes and was
heavily set in crimson clover and
turnips. 1 did not apply any manure
as it had been manured the previous
spring, crop of clover plowed under,
and ton of ground oyster shell lime
drilled in before the tomatoes had
been planted.
