THE CITY COUNCIL
MAKES TAX LEVY
Does Not Follow Actions of Super
vi.ors.

The city council Of the city of
Grenada completed the assessment
and equalization Of taxes for the town
of Grenada this week and fixed the
tax levy at Is mills. the same as it
was last year, divided as follows;
School t mills; Bond TaX Fund, s
mills and General Fund. mills
The council evidently did not ap
prove the assessments made on the
realty of the city Of Grenada by the
supervisors for The reason that. con-
trary to the usual custom, the levies
made by the supervisors were not
copied into the city's assessment rolls.
The Sentinel understands. that just
as far a spossible. the realty assess
ments of last yeay for the city were
brought forward for this year. The
personally Yill also be approximately

La Toilette and Tom Watson, than
the junior senator from Mississippi
Senator Vardaman. This is no time
for admiration, nor friendship, nor
gratitude, to control us in selecting
our senator. We owe it to our boys
at the front to place no man in
authority in our national legislature
who, by opposition and obstruction,
will make it harder for them to fight
in the cause they are engaged in or
harder for them to attain the victory
they must win.
This, my friends, is a necessary
war, a just war, a righteous war,
forced upon us by German duplicity
and aggression. 1t is a war that we
could not avoid if We would preserve
our freedom and our civilization and
our self-respect. 1t is fought for
humanity. The issues involved are
the freedom of the world and the
preservation of Christian civilization.
1t is fought to protect the lives of
our people from ruthless destruction
by German military autocracy, to
preserve our liberties from domino
rion by the imperial government of
Germany, TO make the world free for
democracy, and to insure permanent
Fand lasting peace throughout the
world. What nobler purpose could
inspire the loyal sons of America to
fight its battles?
This is no time for obstruction
lists nor slackers, neither among us
as citizens on in congress or in the
United States senate. 1t is no time
for carping and captious criticisms
of the administration and admins
tration measures, but it is time fol
loyal and sympathetic support and
for earnest and Jealous sacrifice
For these reasons | am an earnest
and vigorous supporter of the gentle
man who will address you today.
am here as an American citizen anc
as Mississippian who wishes to stant
by his government and his party. ant
present to you with great pleasure
a young man in the vigor of his man
hood who has already won honor ant
distinction and who, after his 81,
years of service in the United State
congress, stands before you as can
didate for the United States senate
1t is my pleasure to introduce to 20
: Non. Pat;<siarrison."

made as will conserve our wheat and
meat supply.
In order to bring to the people
of the country a realization of the
gravity of the situation. a second
pledge card campaign will be made
during the week of October 21-28.
This will be a cleanup campaign
and an effort will be made during
that period to pledge as many as
possible of Mississippi's families to
cooperate with the United States
food administration in policy cal
culated to increase our wheat and
meat reserves by means of a larger
use Of corn and vegetables and other
products.
u am asking every one of the
thirty women's organizations COM
prising the woman's committee to
put forth their best efforts to assist
the chairmen in having these cards
signed. Will each president send out
to all her members calling attention
to this important campaign and urg-
ing their cooperation. This is a
"atriotic duty your government calls
on you to do
Each county chairman will re-
ceive instructions and cards. Let
them have all city and rural chair
men in readiness for this campaign.
Will each county chairman have this
appeal copied in their county papers,
and ask the ministers, church socie-
ties, Red Cross meetings and schools
to announce it, and make talks on
the importance Of every one signing
the card? The woman's committee i:

FIRST FROST NIGHT
OF OCTOBER EIGHTH

The first frost Of the season came
on the night of October 8. The rain
which fell Sunday night, and dis
PEELED so much of the disagreeable
dust, put moisture enough in the at
mosphere to furnish good frost,
provided the weather was cold
enough. The wind form the North
came Monday night and as a result
quite noticeable frost was to be
seen Tuesday morning, October 9th.
There was some little ice, too. Po-
tato vines and other tender plants
showed that Jack Frost still possess
ed his biting qualities.

POST OFFICE PAT
RONS TAKE NOTICE
On and After November 2, Postage
Rates Will Be Increased.

Postmaster Bell gives notice to the
public that on and after Nov. 2, all
letters will require three-cent stamp
and post cards a two-cent stamp.
This is the time named by the post
Office department for beginning the
operation of the new law which af-
fects postal rates as well as almost
everything else. Where letter al
ready has a two-cent stamp on it, it
will be necessary to add one-cent
stamp. Letters and other mail that
are dropped into mail boxes or the
post office without the necessary
stamp will simply lie there or be
dropped back into the sender's box.

sition on the road and that he has
connected himself again with the
Leader in more substantial
way and will add his bit to
that of Mr.. Trusty's to increase the
already large patronage of this pop
ular store. Mr.. Taylor is an eXcep-
tionally satisfactory man with whom
to transact business and most ex-

states that the waste Of time in com

Foley urges that the fact that these
trains are required to run slower
through towns and villages does not
minimize losses but makes people
more careless. He states that the
railroads are doing all within their
power to cooperate with the govern
ment in making things for war pur-
poses first and in moving these same
things promptly and he pleads for
conservation and cooperation on the
part Of the public.
What Mr. Foley says is worthy of
serious consideration.

Yesterday one of the local men, who
is very much interested in the project
of establishing country fair in this
county, received letter addressed ia
the Secretary of the Maysville Fair
Association. Upon opening it proved
to be communication from Mr.. ]. Fl.
Meyer Of Lima, Ohio, asking for the
privilege of a merry-go-round during
the Maysville Fair the coming season
The man had evidently heard of the
campaign being conducted to establish
fair here and wanted to be the first
one to get the privilege. AS this cam
paign for the fair has been conducted
through the columns of the Ledger, it
is another proof that advertising in
this paper pays.
