THE JEFFERSON DAVIS HIGHWAY URGED.
Grenada Should Get What Belones to Her in Locating
This Road The Memphis Conference and Dele
gates Board Of Supervisors 60 on Record
for Federal Highway.

Sentinel readers will recall that sew.
eral times during the past few months
several articles have appeared in these
columns about federal highway thru
Mississippi and it was suggested in q
communication from DR.. Dean Of Car
rollton that the proposed highway be
named the Jefferson Davis highway.
1t is needless to urge upon Grenada
people what such q ROAD would mean to
this county there could hardly be any
thing done that would more greatly
benefit the county in general Itwould
be almost suicidal for Grenada to al
low the road to go elsewhere. This is
on the logical route and one entirely
free from danger of overflow, and If
such road is built and it is apparent
that it will in the very near future-it
can be brought here, it will be brought
here unless the self-satlsfied indiffer-
ence of the people of this immediate
section practically forces it elsewhere.
Below appears communication to
Mr.. w. b. Hoffa, president of the Gre
NADIA Business League, from the Busi-
ness Mems Club of Memphis, advising
about conference which is to be held
there next week and asking that dele
gates be named from this county. It
might not be amiss to state here that
meetings are being held in various
towns near here and each one of course
wants the road. Let Grenada put her
hat into the ring:
''As you no doubt know, the Jeffer-
son Davis Highway Conference will be
held in Memphis on the 18th and 18th
of February, and I am writing to re-
quest that you name ten delegates
from your League to take part in this
Conference.
1.-TWO tentative routes have been sug-
gested and one of the objects of this
Conference is to decide definitely on
one of them. If we can put project
through, of good road from Mempnis
to Beauvoi-, it will mean with the con-
nections north If rs. here with the great
transcontinental motor highways, q
tourists travel which would p ay large
return and pay it Immediately and per-
manently.
I'VE trust that We may have the
good Offices of your League in making
this Conference success"
