A MEMPHIS MARRIAGE.

There was just tinge of romance
TO the marriage of Mr. R. Elwood
King to Miss Edna Staten in the par
lors of the Gayoso Hotel. Memphis.
on Wednesday evening of this week.
The union between these two young
people is the result of several years
courtship. The two had only recent
y spent several days on a visit in the
same home near Oxford and business
engagements prevented Mr. King 60
ing to his brides home at Cascilla.
hence she was accompanied to Mem
phis by her father where the nuptial
vows were taken.
Mr.. King is young man of eXcep-
tionally fine business qualities and
never fails to make friends wherever
he goes. At present he is engaged in
copper mining at Glove. Arizona.
Mrs. King is daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. I. j. Staten. at Cascilla. one of
the most worthy and most substantial
families of Tallahatchie county. In
many respects Mr.. Staten is a most
remarkable man, aside from his busi-
ness qualities he possesses those sub
stantial elements of life that go to
make good citizens and useful factors
in society. Mrs. King is not only a
lady of many personal attractions
but she is endowed with those pecul-
lar graces and attractions that stamp
her as more than an ordinary charac-
ter.
The Sentinel tenders congratula-
tions and best wishes.

A BOY THAT MAKES
J. GOOD IMPRESSION.

1t is always source OF gT&tihca-
tion to The Sentinel to say cheer
ing word and more especially is this
true in dealing with youth. 4 word
of commentator and announcement
means much to the boy or girl 20
whom life's sea is an unexplored
realm. Many times the kind and
helpful word will cause the boy or
girl to realize their own powers and
create within them an ambition to
utilize the talents they have. In
this connection The Sentinel de-ires
to say that Fred Pass, who lives about
eight miles in the country, is a polite.
quick-speaking. gentlemanly and in
telligent lad of seventeen VINO talks
and acts like man about many mat
ters. Only a day or two ago it was
necessary for him to present some
matter to the board of supervisors
for his father, who is too feeble to
come to town, and a gentleman who
heard what Fred had to say to the
Board told representative of The
Sentinel that he was just astonished
at the straightforward and intelli-
gent way he talked to the supervisors.
This gentleman said that Fred's pre-
sentation would have done credit to
man twenty-five years of age.
Fred's school advantages have not
been the best but he is studying at
home. Keep it up, Fred. In a great
many respects you have very great
advantage over the boy who lives in
town. You are out where you car
commune with nature.

STORM STARTLES FARMER
AT MIDNIGHT HOUR.
Horse Carried Through the Air-Stir-
rups Arouse Sleeper.

There have been wiz ,.,-oS Winds
during the past fc. x au weeks.
In some pla :, cAefS nave been cy-
clonesCcnance'o slycones and in still
others se winds, terrifying winds,
blowing winds and winds the like of
which hath never been heard before.
Now, gentle reade9, tread softly,
hold your breath while the story of
the wind is made known that swept
around the home of Mr.. Green l..
Brooks, eight miles south of Grenada,
on Friday night of last week. He
stated to Sentinel representative
that he was aroused about midnight
by the storm and that he raised win
dow and poked his head out to view
the elements when to his astonish-
ment he heard horse being dashed
through the air. Mr.. Brooks was
positive in his statements that he
heard the horse snort, that the horse
had on saddle and that he could
hear the stirrups strike together over
the horses back as the wind gyrated
the horse up and down through the
air The horse, Mr.. Brooks says,
went over the roof of his house,
through the tree tops and if he landed
anywhere. the sound of his voice or
the noise of his footsteps have not yet
been heard. If the wind blew the
feathers off the chickens, the water
ont Of the well, the juice out of the
trees. the sweetness out of the sugar.
the ''e" out of axe or if it turned any
dogs inside outward, or blew the
alfalfa off anybody's face or the
crooks out of any roads-for Mr..
Brooks sake these things are sup
pressed. Mr.. Brooks states that his
mind was perfectly clear, that he had
been nowhere the day before and
that the water he drank was the same
limpid elixir that had been gushing
out of the hill sides in those parts
since Noah's ark rested. There was
no house blown down. Mr.. Brooks
states, nor boats blown up in that
storm, hence it is fair to assume that
the windness of that wind was the
windiest wind that ever winded its
way across Mr.. Brooks habitat.

RED CROSS WORKER.

Mrs. DR.. Henderson, of Greenwood,
was in Grenada Saturday night in the
interest of Red Cross work. The
made an address at the court house,
and among many other good things
said that while she used to be Mis-
sissippian first and then an American,
that now she was an American first
and then a Mississippian. She gave
her hearty endorsement to the prose-
cutiOn Of the war and made a very
effective and patriotic appeal for the
encouragement and development of
Red Cross work. Quite large num-
ber were added to the organization
here.

MISS DORA ADAMS
SlCNALLY HONORED

Grenada especially felicitates over
the signal honor paid one of her
daughters, Miss Dora Adams, at the
reunion in Washington City last
week when she was selected out of
the several thousand women there to
march at the head of the procession
in company with veteran who wore
the blue. Miss Adams carried a
Confederate banner and the veteran
carried the Nations flag and the two
banners were crossed signifying that
the two flags had been moldei into
one.
Miss Adams was attired in beau-
tiful suit of Confederate gray and
made a picture pretty indeed. It is
needless to add that Miss Adams bore
her honors gracefully and that she
was in every way equal to the dignity
and Of the distinction that had been
conferred upon her.

PRESSGROVE DREAMS
4 PECULIAR DREAM.

He claims to have eaten a very
moderate supper and felt cheerful
and happy upon retiring. He soon
fell asleep, but, from some cause, be-
gan dreaming. He says the Devil
approached him and Says, "Pressv

cerned about you. They claim you

ment Of prices at least until Satur-
day, the 23rd. Now, old fellow, lis

THE WASHINGTON REUNION.
Veterans Report a Great Time.

All who attended the reunion last
week in Washington City report a
great time and that the crowd was
much greater than anticipated and
therefore Washington found it diff
cult to provide the proper accomo-
dations for all. However. things
worked out all right and a great time
was had. Undoubtedly the gathering
together of the blue and the gray
tended to wipe out whatever was left
of sectional lines and to still further
cement the ties that bind the South
and the North into Union of indis-
soluble states. The boys of the fed
eral army were there to add their
good wishes and the strength of their
hospitality to that of the Nations
capital. 1t was indeed a fortuitous
gathering. 1t came at a good time
1t was good for the South. 1t was
good for the North.
The contingent from Grenad.
especially had great time. DR.
Young talks glowing of what he saw
and what took place. A special hon
or was conferred on Miss Dor,
Adams, of this city, who was Sponso
for the Mississippi division.

iaI speakers over Tuesday afternoon

Ieee who talked on various subjects
to the class of splendid looking young
girls which Miss Hughes had assem-
bled. One of the special features of
the meet was the canning club work

with which the girls executed it was q

and tact of Miss Hughes. On We'd
nesday special attention was given to
cooking, the making Of biscuits out
of soy beans, the cooking of omelets

CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY

Judge VIM. C. Mclean celebrated
his sixty-third birthday on Sunday,
June 10, 1917. His children planned
a surprise party for him. All of
them, with the exception of VIM. c.,
Jr., his fourth son, returned home
Sunday and celebrated with their
father. Mr.. and Mrs. Alney Nc
Lean, of Doddsville, Mr.. and Mrs. w.
c. Trotter, of Winona, Mr.. and Mrs.
X. d. Mclean, and Mr.. Frank Nc
Lean, of Doddsville, were the children
from a distance. Russell, the young
est son, lives in Grenada. William
Campbell, Jr., is at present in the
Oficers Reserve Corps at Fort Logan
II. Root, near Little Rock, Ark, and
ne, not being able to be present, un-
fortunately prevented the family cir
Gle being complete.
The family in a body attended SER
vices at their church, the Presbyter-
ian, and it was a most Opportune
coincidence that the services were in
observance of Fathers Day." For
the members of the Mclean family
the day was Fathers Day, indeed
That Judge Mclean is sixty-three
years of age will come as surprise to
those not acquainted with facts, fo1
he certainly does not appear to have
passed the three-scorc mile stone or
life,s highway. .,
Mrs. Alney Mclean and Mr.. anC
Mrs. w. C. Trotter remained ovel
in Grenada a few days. The others
however, returned to their respective
plantations in the delta, as farming
activities at present are in ticklisf
stage.
The many friends of Judge Nc
Lean hope that he may have the op
portunity to celebrate many NOR,
birthdays and that as the days pas.
he may drink deeper of life's riches
perfumes and grow in those excel
lencies of character which have mad,
for him a name and fame of whicl
his children have every right to b,
proud. Congratulations to him ant
his lovely and excellent wife an,
splendid family of children.

A 1899 SILVER DOLLAR.

Mr. j. f. Carpenter. of the Mister
ton community, brought to this Office
the other day silver dollar of date
of 1899. He states that the coin
has been in the Carpenter family for
four generations. his great-granifath-
er being the first possessor. On one
side of the dollar is the woman's head
and 13 stars and the other side con-
tains the words, United States of
America and the eagle with the ar
rows in its talons and also the l3
stars. The dollar is well preserved.
Its inactivity has made it keep its
youth, yet it indicates an indepen-
dence and perfect familiarity with
present surroundings.

Baptist Church in Grenada feld their
first service Sunday morning in their
beautiful new edifice on Second

by the pastor, Rev. J. w. Lee. who
felicitated with his flock over what

as it represented Him who made pos
sible its structure and use.

limitations. He states that he is be-
ing greatly encouraged by many la
dies and that he finds so many of
them 'ready to sacrifice their hus-
bands in the war" Mr.. Patterson
states that only those husbands who
have been in married conflict for not
less than two years need apply.
