BISHOP THlRKIELD TALKS
AT THE COURT HOUSE

Bishop Wilbur Patterson Thirkield
OF New Orleans, was in Grenada in
connection with his official duties as
binsop o "Wednesday, Sept. 26, and
while here made an address at the
court house which was heard by a
goodly unmber of the white citizens
OF the town as well as by the negroes
of his church.
Bishop Thirkield is a scholarly man
and is unq~uestionably doing what he
believes a high religious duty in ad-
mlnistering to the colored people in
sacred things. He impresses one as
a mar with an adding sense of his
Obligations and as one who feels that
ne Is carrying a great burden in dis
charging the delicate and important
duty he is meeting to the negroes.
Undoubtedly he is a very sincere and
candid man and wants to do that
which means not only for the spirit
ual betterment of the negro, but that
which will make for the material ad-
vancement of both the whites and
the blacks in the South.
After giving some detail matter in
reference to the work of the church
he represents, the Bishop stated that
ne wanted to get the whites and ne
groes to a better understanding and
that wherever practicable, he wished
to put on foot cooperative clubs, or
movements, made up of the best ne
groes and the whites. He was at
some pains to point out the things
that were disturbing the best negroes
of the South and insisted that the
exodus of the negroes to the North
was a matter that could, and ought
to be handled by the best
white people here. To SUBJ
stantiate his view he read extracts
in the face. He said that the South
anywhere else. He told the negroes
that they ought to W homes and
that land was cheaper by from $50
to SIS per acre cheaper in the South
than in the North and that there
were many other reasons why they
could do best here. But he averred
that the white farmer must give them
better Tenant houses, and a garden
with every home, and that the good
citizens must wake up to the fact
that it was their duty to see that the
negro got a square deal. He claimed
that the negro school teachers, a vast
majority Of them, were wholly in
competent and that the salaries paid
would not justify teachers qualified
for the work to accept the places.

CHANGE IN FAIR DATES.
Time to Be October 16 and I'D
Not Fail to Come.

Since the announcement of the
County Fair dates, as given in The
Sentinel of last week, those in charge
have seen proper to change the dates
from October II and IL, to October
II and IS. At this same time will
be the Roundup for the Grenada
Bank pig, chicken and cattle awards
in the twelve counties where that in
stitution has banks. In each of the
twelve counties, there will be selected
the best pig, chickens and cattle, then
on October II and 10, these ".best"
from the several counties will be as
sembled at Grenada and from them
the best selection will be made to
send to the State Fair at Jackson.
This will indeed be quite a nice ex-
hibit of itself and should be a matter
of interest and study for every far
mer and stock raiser in the county.
Besides these exhibits, there will be
others from the people of Grenada
county alone, and it is well under
stood that this county has been max
ing some remarkable progress in
farming and stock breeding within the
past few years. 1t must not be over
looked, either, that the canning clubs
and other work in the county which
has been under the direction of Miss
Hughes, will also have exhibits. This
will be especially interesting and in
structive to the mothers and house
keepers of the county. Let everybody
who possibly can, come on one, or
both of these days. Let the time be
a sort of get-together and pull-to-
gether days.
