The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1917-01-05

fore another HoIcom6ite, Graham
Clark, knocks at our door, in no un.
mistakable terms, demanding en-
trance. His mission was that OF
paying two dollars. We like mis-
sions of that nature.
"Toot, toot!" That's right, her.
aid; you may now announce that the
latest acquisition to our New Sub
scribers' League is Mrs. Mary P.
Durham, of Dubard, Miss.
As we sit in idle fancy, many
spectacles pass in mental review.
None, however, is more delectable
than the memory of the renewal OF
Mr.. ]. w. Hayden's subscription.
Think of it, Brothers. He paid three
whole dollars! Lest we forget, let
us now say that he was from Hol-
comb.
Mrs. j. l.. Avent's subscription did
not expire until March, 1917, but she
read the momentous words of warn
ing sent out by the iron-hearted
Business Manager to the effect that
so cents addition would be charged
next year. So she stayed on the
safe side by paying another dollar.
Hayward Bros, who operate n
of the largest cotton plantations in
Grenada county, sent in two dollars
recently. That certainly did tickle
us.
Were it not for the fact that our
breeches are so tight we would make
our best bow to Mr.. T. B. Keeton,
who came in with a dollar. As it is,
we wish to thank him from the depths
u heart.
Uncontrollabel smiles OF pure de-
light wreathed our contenance when
Mr.. r. w. Caffey, of Misterton, came
in with one dollar. All right, Broth
Caffey. we will send it On to Mis-
terton. We hope that you will en-
joy it.
Just when the Business Manager
had begun to think taht the lastmost
had come in, another was sent
by Mrs. W. Shultz, of Grenada.
Needless to say he (the B. N.Y. was
glad. The herald has gone out and
he will have to give the two toots
for this new subscriber.
Comes more money from Mr.. Geo.
Brewer, of Morehead, Miss. This
extends his subscription to New Year,
1918. Thanks, Brother.
Harpoon that skulking %trumpeter
and draw him into the sanctum
where he may properly speak the
words which acquaint the
,pen-mouth world of our latest new
subscriber. Miss Venie Turner, of
1olcomb, the Gem of the West.

Providence directed him to pay a dol

Our old friend, Mr.. B. S. Elliott.
