These gentlemen made their first

about twenty appointments. They are
good takers and are full of the spir-

German barbarities and atrocities and
will no doubt thrill and awaken many
of the good people of these counties
who have not taken the time to see
the war as it really is.

are relieved from making report.
This decidedly an error. 1t is the

Grenada was very greatly disap-
pointed that the failure to make
train connections prevented Mr.. Mil
ton w. Harrison of Washington City
from reaching Grenada last Sunday
evening at which time he was to make
an address at the Methodist church
on the duty of the American people
in the war while at the same time to
outline the work for selling War Saw
ings Stamps. He was also to make
an address Sunday afternoon to the
colored population of the town at the
A. NJ. E. church. The appointment
at the colored church was filed by
DR.. j. r. Countiss and Prof. A. B.
Campbell; the Editor of The Sentinel
was also present and introduced the
speakers. At the conclusion of the
speech making, the following commit
tee was named to push the work of
selling War Savings Stamps in Gre

gene Pettibone, J. H. Phillips, Rev.

meeting of the colored population OF
the county was called for the court
house in Grenada Saturday, Decen1-

also make addresses.
