WOMAN is MAKING A
SUCCESS OF SHOWS

There are a number of women
moving picture exhibitors in the
country and without exccptian they
are good exhibitors. The woman's
natural aptitude for paying close at
tention to detail even when it ap-
pears to be inconsequental, makes
her especially capable as an exhib-
itor, for the moving picture business
is essentially one of detail.
Among the women in the country
who are making notable success
in the occupation Of conducting mo-
ton picture theatres none are more
entitled to credit than is Miss Estelle
Rollins. who has charge Of the motion
picture department of the opera
houGe at Grenada, Miss. She has
been in the motion picture business
For the past three years and has
made an eminent success Of it. She
is the secretary of the Mississippi
State League of Motion Picture EX-
hibitors. and she was the only accred
tied woman delegate to the rationa
convention at Chicago. which was
held in July.
For nearly twenty years before
entering the motion picture business
Miss Rollins was a trusted employt
of the principal bank in Grenada
and only was compelled to relinquisf
that position because of the misfor
tune of contracting writer's craml
in her hand.-New Orleans Times

AND INSTANTLY KILLS MRS.

A Memphis news item of August
2 states that Mrs. Nina Bradford was
instantly killed last night at S:35
o'clock when she was run down by
an automobile driven by Mr.. R. Henry
Lake, a prominent insurance man,
at Madison Avenue and Raine Place.
Mr.. Lakes statement following the
accident was brief. at is most re-
grettable. | would not have had it
happen for anything. 1t was entirely
unavoidable. l was not going over
1s or 20 miles when l first saw her,
and l Immediately began to check
my car. Had Mrs. Bradford con-
tinued across the street / would not
have struck her. But she turned
back Just as l swerved to avoid her,
and the machine hit her."
Mr.. Lake is we'll and favOrably
known in Grenada, having been born
here, and his many friends genuinely
sympathize with him in the distress
ing accident. Anyone who knows
Mr.. Lake knows that there are very
few people who show a greater re-
gard for the rights of others than he
and upon whom an affair like the one
noted would bear more heavily.
Mr.. Lake is the son of R. P. Lake
and a nephew of Messrs. w. B. Hoffa
and w. s. Lake Of this city.

REPORT OF THE
GRAND JURY.
Inquistorial Body Finds It Easy "a
Recommend.


of the grand jury, submitted on Fri 4
day of last week to the court. Alto
gether six true bills were found by1
that body:
To the Honorable H. H. Rodgers,
Judge of the Fifth Judicial Dis
trict:
We, the grand jurors of Grenada
county, duly and lawfully empaneled
to investigate and inquire into the
violations of the criminal laws of
Grenada county, beg leave to SUBJ
NIT our Final Report, to-wit:
We have been in session five days;
have had subpoenaed 63 witnesses
and returned 6 true bills.
1t affords us quite pleasure to
be able to report to the court that
we find Grenada county in an ex-
ceptionally good condition as to its
criminal docket, our people are with
the fewest exceptions, peaceable,
prosperous and law-abiding citizen
ship.
We find our public roads in good
condition with some few exceptions,
and we recommend that the board
of supervisors of our county in ad-
dition to withholding the pay from
the contractors of the public roads
for want of proper work on their
contracts, that they have suit brought
on the bondsmen and contractors
when default is made ~ the coNs
tractors in the performance of their
duties as contractors in working and
building the public roads of our
county under their contracts. We
believe that it will have wholesome
effect and will solve in a great meas
ure the present condition of the
public roads.
We find that the hotels and other
public buildings of Grenada county
are kept in a sanitary condition and
well provided with fire escapes ac-
cording to law.
The Jail is in a sanitary condition
and inmates humanely treated.
We find that the county home is
rather inconvenient in many respects
to be seen after at it's present loca.
ton, and we recommend that the
Board of Supervisors make proper
investigation, and if practicable II
their good judgment We recommend
that the present holdings of Grenada
county at the present location OF
the county home, be converted into
location nearer Grenada, the coun
ty site, and that small farm b,
purchased in connection with tn,
county home; that our county con
victs may be used as laborers to cul
tivate the same and produce food fo,
the unfortunate inmates of same.
We have made inquiry of th'
duties performed by the presen
county health officer, and with tn,
rapidly increasing duties imposed
upon him in the county, we recon
mend that his salary if practical
should be increased commensurate
; with the services rendered.
The county auditor has filed witt
us his report which shows that tn
various officers of the county hav
their books correctly kept and il
, balance.
Now having concluded our labors
we desire to thank your Honor TO
his able and instructive charge, an,
also to express our gratitude to tn
court officials for their many acts o
kindness shown US during our labors
and now beg to be finally discharged

and his vicarious life and sacrifice.
The preacher showed how this same
thing ran thru the vegetable king

life of the world. He said that there
was nothing great done Intellectually
unless there was toll and sacrifice.
He referred very beautifully TO the
sacrifice of the mother for the babe
and the hours, maybe of anguish and
labor, she underwent while the little
fellow was sick and suffering, hel
nights of sleeplessness and vigil, H,
adverted to some of the great con
f1icts and happenings of life and how
somebody voluntarily bore the bur

might enjoy greater blessings. Thu

RIDING THE WHIRLWIND.

A. Curtis Roth, American consul at Plauen
ISaxony until shortly before Ambassador Ger
ard left Berlin, is of opinion that Germany is
certainly to rid herself Of kaiserism as a re-
suit of the war. The autocracy is riding the
whirlwind, he declares, and is perllously near
disaster Famine, bereavement, smotherlng
poverty, fruitless drudgery have made the
people desperate, and unless the U-boat war
fare brings them the peace for which they long
| they will follow Russia's example and will
lcaste.
In The Worlds Work Mr.. Roth sets forth
forcbly and at some length his reasons for his
belief He tells of the roting he has seen, the
revolutionary manifestoes he has read. The
thought in the minds of the people and the
word in their mouth when they dare to speak
is that they are bleeding to DEATH are dying by
slow starvation, are exhausting their strength,
their financial power, their supplies; that they
are defying the anger of the world In arms and
staring ruin in the face. From miserable lips IN
many ways Consul Roth has heard the lament
''Our enemies will never make peace with our
government. The French and the English
have nothing against us. 1t is our kaiser and
officers stand between us and peace, Why
should we be hated? If it were not for our
kaiser and his 1unkers the English would make
peace with us.
There is so much truth in this and the senti-
nent is so prevalent throughout the empire
hat it is Mr.. Roth's conviction that augoeracvs
