Her One FaiIinq.

Frank was an ardent lover. and, like most lovers, was of a rather jealous disposition. He was always worrying g Ellen with silly questions, most of which she answered patiently.
 The other day he reached the limit, however, when he asked:
 'eWhy are you so sure that you will always love me just sas much as you do now?''
 Ellen thought it time to alter her treatment of his one fault.
 Because she answered gently, ''I am never able to cure myself of any of my bad habits. .''-London Answers.

THE CHURCHES
 AND ADJUSTMENTS

4 large number of conferences have mem oria1ized the general con ference of the Methodist church, meet ing May 1, at Saratoga Springs, N. Y., for a change in the book of discipline of that denomination, in the matter of amusements. Also many other conferences are petitioning. against such a change.
 This old rule is not, as most people have thought, a specific prohibition of the diversions referred to, includ- ing dances, theaters, horse races, cir cuses and games of chance: The above are simply included in a. list of Acts for which members can be brought before a church trial for dis cipline. But members are very rare 1y disciplined for any such pursuits unless for excess.
 Many conscientious young people, who would not be harmed by such annusements, have been thereby kept out of the churches. Also church
 m ernbers are segregated from their friends. though they may be of a seri- ous or ascetic temper that could not be hurt by moderate diversion. 1n- deed they would be helped by joining in more social life.
 Young people who are really in dan ger from excessive interest in amuse- m ents, pay no regard to such rules, and acquire a dislike for the body that makes them. Thus this attempt both ends of the line.
 Years ago strict. church people objected to taking walks on Sunday. Tn certain places however, young peo- pie were permitted to walk in the cemetery It was thought that con temptation of the symbols of death might impress them with the short ness of life and the need of making peace with God. Yet some of these old Spartans drowned even on this. eff they walk in the cemetery, next time they will walk in the woods, '' said one staunelh Puritan. Verify. the world has moved, in some respects too far, butsa least the modern Chris tian is more human.

THE HOME TOWN.

Some folks leave home for money
And some leave home for fame.
Some seek skies always sunny,
And some depart in shame.
| care 10 what the reason
Men travel east or west,
Or what the month or season
The home town is the best.
The home town is the glad town
Where something real abides,
It's not the money-mad town
That all its spirit hides.
Though strangers scott and fout it
And even jeer its name
1t has a charm about it
No other town can claim.
The hometown skies seem bluer
Than skies that stretch away;
The hometown friends seem truer
And kinder through the day.
And whether glum or CHEEKY.
Light-hearted or depressed,
Or struggle-ft or weary
| like the home town best.
Let him who will go wander
To distant towns to live.
Of some things / am fonder
Than all they have to give.
The gold of distant places
Could not repay me quite
For those familiar faces
That keep the home town bright.

A NEW DRUG COMPANY
IN GRENADA.

Elsewhere In this issue of The Sen

porators are: V. h. Patterson, 3. {
Adams, S. M. Stein, W. h. Penn ano
W. 5. White, gentlemen VINO are
numbered among the towns best
business men and all splendid citi.
zens and deservedly popular. Then
large circle of friends insure them a
clientele to begin with that few new
enterprises ENJOY.
The White Drug Co. will occupy
the building so long used by G.. ".
Eaman and it is not putting it ex-
t~ravagantly to say that there is hard
~ a prettier drug store and one
more handsomely stocked in the state
than this one. Its location is ideal.
1t is the purpose of the White Drug
20. to carry nothing but the highest
class of goods and to give such ex-
cellent service in quality, price and
courtesies, thar one bargain will
serve as a magnet to bring the GUS
toner back again and again.
Inc pharmacist and manager for
the company will be Mr.. S. C. Met
calf, a gentleman who comes to Gre
NADIA from Water Valley, with the
very highest endorsements in every
way. He is courteous and obliging
and impresses one at once as a man
who knows every phase of the drug
business, and the p ublic may rest
assured that whatever is entrusted
to Mr.. Metcalf will be most carefully
looked after.
In addition to the drug business.
the company will continue to operate
the soda fountain which has been in
the store for some months, and with
Spencer White to prepare soft
drinks, it is needless to state that
there will hardly be a more popular
resort in Grenada.
The Sentinel takes pleasure in
commencing the White Drug Co. to
the public.
Messrs. W. R. Baker and A. Olson

week the visit of Mrs. H. L. Talbert.

mother, Mrs. NJ. L. Talbert, in Gre
NADIA. Mrs. Talbert is graciously re-
membered in Grenada. The two
years of her residence here gave this
community an insight into the beauty
of her character and to her excel
lence as a splendid Christian woman
that will long be remembered. She
went from here TO a cooler climate
to spend the remainder of the heat

The Pere Marquette railway has
become a member of the Builders &

having been passed upon favorably
by the board OF directors at their
meeting, May l6.
Membership in the exchange Is
particularly valuable TO the height
department OF the railroad, since 1t
gives them advance information con-
corning the letting of contracts to
contractors, and they are able TO So
licit the routing of materials from
various parts of the country over
their lines.

at the meeting were those OF A. j.
Mclean & Co., carpenter contrac-
tors, No. Alb Dime Bank building;

tional Safe & Lock Co. and the

sidering exhibit spaces in the per-
manent building exposition which
the exchange will formally open to
the public on Thursday, June l.
The membership Of the exchange
Is increasing at the rate of one new
member per day. and as each appli-
cant is carefully investigated before
acceptance, alliance with the ex-
change is considered an asset, CIV
Ing the member a standing with
architects and dealers which he
might not otherwise have.

manager Of the Mulkey Salt Co. He
says that a higher standard OF quail

"This new standard is typihed in

OF commercial grade salt. which are
all products Of over Is years expe-

Mr.. De Tar says. ut 10 not likely
That salt will be sold at anywhere
near the price of sugar; however
In maintaining the standard Of quail
ity in the face Of an advance in
everything entering into the manu-
facture OF salt. such as labor, fuel
cooperage stock, etc. and the extern
sive use Of sanitary containers i'm
pervious to moisture. II is inevitable
that salt manufacturers will put on
a slight advance and the public must
