PETITION FOR PARDON.

To the Pardoning Board and the
Governor:
We the undersigned citizens. and
residents of Grenada county. Missis-
sippi, respectfully petition this Hon
orable Pardoning Board and the Gov
ernor to grant a pardon to Warren
Weathers, who was convicted of as
sault and battery with intent to kill
on February 4th, 1916. and sentenced
to FRY a term of ten years in the
State penitentiary. We in no manner
commend the crime committed by
Warren Weathers. but we believe
that he has been sufficiently punish
ed for this act. Your petitioners
would show that Warren Weathers
has an aged father and mother. that
the father is cripple and is not able
to support the mother of the con-
victed man. that this is the only liv-
ing child that they have to look to for
support in these declining years.
Respectfully submitted.

MAJOR THOMAS ELECTED
THIRTY-SEVENTH TIME

The Sentinel failed to note last
week that at the recent meeting of
the Grand Lodge of Phythians Of Mis-
sissippi, Maj. B. F. Thomas was again
elected Grand Master of the Ex-
chequer. This makes the thirty
seventh time Mr.. Thomas has been
named for this important post in sue
cession. tits an honor that never be-
fore came to a Mississippian and per-
haps to a very few in all the history
of the Pythian lodge. On only one
occasion since his first election has
the Major had an opposition and that
was none of any serious cOnse-
quences.
These repeated elections speak
louder than any statement that The
Sentinel could make about Maj.
Thomas standing as a citizen and as
a Pythian. And certain it is that
these honors that have come to him
yea after year are a splendid tribute
to his fidelity and the sacred care he
has shown in exercising the great
trust committed to him. His many
friends in Grenada and elsewhere ap-
preciate the honor and feel safe in
saving that the same kind and gener-
GUS spirit, the same obliging nature
and the same rules of conduct will
continue to mark his life in the fu-
ture as in the past. He has see the
shades of many autumns, his life is
full of the tragedies, the joys and the
triumphs that have been allotted to
his people for more than a half GEN.
fury, and now as he approaches the
three-score and ten mile post, The
Sentinel but voices the wish of Gre
NADIA that he may find the sweetest
and best yet in store for him.

 Dr. Westermann has gone to ore. pare tor war and with him goes the admiration ot an entire citizenship who know that his army career will be honorable and worthy and who trust and pray that his return will be safe and speedy to Anchor age where .leis always assured a sincere welcome and a home among a thousand friends who think of him as a hero and a patriotic American.
 His will be a glorious, achieve ment of duty done.
 The Sentinel is heartily in ac- cord with the editor of the An chorage Times. . We know Dr. Westermann personally, and we know that every word of the fore going appreciation is true. He is one of Natures noblemen.
 Dr. Westermann is one of the directors of the Bank of Alaska. He visited Wrangell in the spring of last year, and, as a result of his visit, was strongly in favor of a bank for Wrangell. The Bank of Alaska was established here shortly after his visit.

A TRIBUTE TO A REAL. MAN
Vice President of the Bank of Alaska at Anchorage Proves
 Himself a Patriot.
tAnchorage Times.)

Anchorage has lost a man.. real man. for the time being. Though it be only for a day he will he missed and his return will be welcomed as sincerely as his de- parture was regretted.
 All real! Americans expect and admire patriotismin any form es- peciallv in these trying times when 1t takes the form of offering ones life to his country. Opportunity makes heroes and the time of action brings out the best there IS in man. Born an American is synol . omous to bravery and loyalty. En- dowed by nature with patriotism from lineage of patriots. Loyalty to country and reverence to the most beautiful emblem. in the known vorldmeans true American ism. When a man in middle life comfortably situated, surrounded by pleasant environment and prom inent in the business, social and civic life of his community needs his country's call, he is truly en- dowed with that splendid. spark ot patriotism which is so much ad- mired and which has placed Aneri- ca in the envlable position where it commands the respect and ad- niration Of the. nations of the world. \ country which has. never met defeat nor its glorious emblem of the Stars and Stripes ever been dipped to an enemy nor its army or navy bent its knee to a conqueror.
 It is because of the patriotism and loyalty oi its sons that Ameri- ca holds it's rank among the nations of the world.
 Ii is because of the splendid form of government that these sons are patriotic and loyal to every issue ot State, and are willing, moreover anxious. 10 sacrifice their lives that their country may live and continue supreme in all things. These quail ifcations are commendatle. Espec. ially Is this true in the case which comes home to Anchorage in the person of a man. a gentleman; one who bears the respect and admira- tion of all ages; all classes, regard less of political or religious creed. Dr. J..T. Westerrnannli such man and has heard the far cry of his country's call and offered his services ;if necessary, his lite to his country.
 The people Of Anchorage sincere ls trust that Dr. Westermann will nsturn to his adopted city where He has. been prominent, ID every phase of business and social l.fe which has tended to benefit andup- lift the community.
 Dr.. Westernann will be soIely missed for he Is an asset to An ohorage or any community; he is a man who has the courage of his conviction, possibly grntf and out spoken and at times lacking. in taet. but he does things not from the standpoint of feeble policy but without fear of contradiction or condemnation. He can always be counted on to do his part in the worlds great war as he did in his life in Anchorage, faithfully and sen..
 If Dr. Westermann goes through his part in the war unscathed he expects to return to Anchorage where he will be sincerely welcomed by the entire citizenship. He may
