1918 ALMOST IN SIGHT.

While this country has everything to be grateful for, We,
never in all of its history has the dawning of a new year seen
the people of this country experiencing such serious forebod-
ings as today. The joys and sveetnesses Of 1917 are soon to
be laid away in memory's casket The radiance that will lnger
in our lives because of the hours days and months of 1917, let
US hope will shine with such efhlgence that we may climb to
higher heights and quadruple cur noble aims and purposes.
Unless we do build for the morrow, unless we do try to act we'll
our parts, unless we do realize hat our Creator has something
for each and all of US to do, lifewill hang heavily upon US and
our western sun will prompt us B say that in truth all is vanity
and vexation of spirit. But if We invite God to come into our
thoughts. we shall feel better win our fellowman and do some
thing worth while in life. Of corse we shall at times drop into
the slough of despond; we shall feel at times that our efforts
are vain; but let US not forget tat nothing is real, nothing is
dependable that will not bear tesng. Thus we face 1918 trust
ing in the God of our fathers andeleving in the mission of our
and that we shall TT be deserted in this perilous
hour. Our cause is just. We we awakened from orr neoca1
ful slumbers to witness some ofhe most barbarous and cruel
atrocities that civilized man ev saw. We went at our task
with reluctant tread. But now tat We have set all of our acan.
cles and all our energies to the tx of war, let us press onward
Tor the sake of our fathers whcequeathed to us this beanti'
full, glorious and happy land. We will get together in This
country as one man, the year neteen hundred and eighteen
Will add new lustre to the hist0 already made sublime and

w. BRITT is A CANDIDATE.

In the proper column appears the
name of Mr.. W. Britt who authorizes
the announcement of his candidacy
Tor marshal of the city of Grenada.
Mr.. Britt was born and reared not
a great way from Grenada in Mont
gomery county. He has had a some
what varied business experience which
should give him a more comprehen-
sive knowledge of things generally
and therefore better qualify him for
any service. He served on the police
force for two years in Helena, Ark,
hence is not without some actual ex-
p%erience in some of the work he asks
to be committed to his hands in Gre
NADIA. He is of pleasing address. kind,
clever and accommodating. He en-
| Joys the confidence of many friends
| and is esteemed most by those who
know him best. That he would dc
his best to meet satisfactorily anc
well the duties of the Office of mar
shall, none will dispute. That he il

vious business would seem to offe
every assurance. The Sentinel there

consideration of his candidacy.

5. T. TATUM IN RACE
FOR MAYOR.

The name of s.. I. Tatum appears
column as a
Mr.. Tatum's extended residence in
Grenada and the fact that he was
born in this county, it would there
fore seem unnecessary to make any
comment upon his standing as a cit
izen or upon the service he has en-
dered society. Suffice it to say that
he deserves no small amount of credit
for the success he has attained. He
started out after his marriage with
nothing but energy, good common
sense and well directed aims and pur-
poses. His success in a business way
has been far above the ordinary. He
has never failed to identify himself
with every movement calculated to
clear the moral atmosphere. He has
done his part in the propagation of
church work. His home life has met
the best standards of society. He
has served as mayor of Grenada for
several terms prior to the election of
the present incumbent. and the ser.
vice he rendered then may be regard
ed as a fair index of what may be
expected of him, should he again be
chosen. Mr.. Tatum will no doubt
avail himself of a personal interview
with the voters of Grenada.

MR.. JOHN H. OWENS IN
THE RACE FOR MAYOR

Mr.. John H. Owens authorizes the
statement that his hat is in the ring
as a candidate for mayor of the city
Of Grenada, subject to the action of
the coming primaries. Mr.. Owens
was born and reared in the country
"A few miles west of Grenada and en-
Joys the confidence and the esteem
of IA large circle of friends. There
are few men with less assimilation
than he. Directness of purpose and
frankness of demeanor and speech
equally manifest themselves in his
character, a fact that is borne out
by his eight years tenure in the Of
ice of justice of the peace in dis

1t is his aim to be fair and just as d

honest effort to get at the facts and
to apply the law as he understands

This war is not Woodrow Wilson's fight any more than it
is yours. What he has done he has done simply as your direc-
tor or agent. If the war is to be won, the American people must
get behind the President. Now the war is going to be won. but
is it not better for you to voluntarily lend your aid and coopera-
ton to the soldier boys and to those directing the affairs of the
government than to be compelled to do these things? Think it
over.

Is it at all strange that some men filing high official posi-

The lower house of Congress passed a resolution Monday
submitting a constitutional amendment to the forty eight states
of the Union providing for absolute prohibition. The same mat
ter has already been favorably acted upon by the Senate ex-
cept that the Senate only allowed six years for the amendments
ratification or rejection, whereas the House provided for sew
en- years. 1t is understood that the Senate will accede to the
House amendment. 1t looks as if John Barelycorn is not only
to be boycotted but will be annihilated. So much for the work
of the churches, the Christian ministry, the press and the good
of the country. One of the greatest agencies for the
furthering of prohibition sentiment has been the country press.
