The American Junior Naval and Ma
rine Scout has its offices at No. 81

come reason or other.
1t is quite generally approved of by
officers of our navy, some of whom are
officers of the organization.

Dewey (deceased) as first naval scout. "
It will instruct the American boy ''in
the duties and drills according to the reg
ulations Of the United States navy and

I'VE realize" say the organizers, "the
necessity Of teaching the youth of this
country the fundamental principles Of
patriotism and military preparedness.
Which realization on the part of these
organizers seems to turn right around
and put loyalty to God" up on the shelf,
for the time being, as a secondary con-
sideration.
We respectfully decline place on the
committee because we are not in favor of

A. c.. LEIGH IN TOWN.

Grenada was pleased to welcome
Mr.. 4. C. Leigh, of Los Angeles, Cali
%fornia. here this week. He is look
ing %splendidly and states that his
family are enjoying excellent health
and that they are all much pleased
with the Golden West. Mr.. Leigh
is always an interesting talker; he
is we'll read and is a man of good
poise and has a high conception of
the purposes Of life and of ones duty
to his fellows. His description of af-
fairs in California and the great big
scale upon which things are done in
that section is almost electrifying.
Mr.. Leigh is one of too small a
number of characters who has had to
d owith big business affairs that has
made business second to the care of
his family and especially to the rear
ing of his children. He has kept
close to his children and as a result
they have kept close to him. Many,
will no doubt be interested to know
that his son, Randolph, is editing a
daily newspaper at Sheridan, Wyom-
ing.
The latch string is ever on the out
side for him and Grenada hopes that
he will make it convenient to come
back to his old home frequently.

COLLEGE SENIORS ARE.

Some of the young gentlemen of
the Grenada College and some of the
teachers of that institution at a BAN
quet at the Planters Hotel Thursday
evening, March 8. 1917.

men of Grenada.

, bled at Senior Hall at the College
about seven-thirty and marched en-
masse to the hotel, when. after a
short pause. they were ushered into
the dining hall. Forthwith began a
seemingly endless succession

world had been served. the walters
began bringing in sirloin steak.
This party was given as a compll-
ment to the teachers who. in the past,
had entertained the young men of
Grenada and the Seniors of the Col
lege. The young gentlemen still
feel that their obligation to the teach
ers has not been satisfied.

PUBLIC SCHOOL AND
COLLEGE MEET AGAIN
This Time the Public School Carried
Off the Honors-lnd;ctmcnt Too
Much for College.

The Grenada College and the Gre
NADIA Public School again met IN
wordy combat Friday night. This
time the laurels went to the Public
School. it having three representa-
tives left after the elimination OF all
twenty-five of the College spoilers,
The Public School students had
been laboring most assiduously ever
since the former spelling match. The
sting of defeat still fingered on their
tender hides and victory was the only
balm which could cure the hurt. AS
before, there were twenty-five spell
ers on each side, and, as before, one
by one the petals, or rather pupils,
fell. until, alas there remained but
one on the side of the college and
three on the other side. Miss Ethel
Sanders was the Colleges last hope.
Misses Lucy Mitchell and Annie New
ton and Mr.. Lamar Ross were they
to whom the Public School pinned
its faith. The battle ragged on with
out decision seeming neal until Mr..
A. NJ. Carothers suggested the word,

much for the College. The Public
Schools star, Lamar Ross, spelled
it in the same way that The Sentinel
spells it, and won

that it was she who stood up until

A. B. HALLE ANSWERS
LAST SUMMONS

Mr.. A. B. Halle died Tuesday
morning at an early hour at the home
of Mr.. w. D. Ross in Grenada and his
remains were carried to Coffeeville,
his old home. that afternoon and laid
to rest with Masonic ceremonies.
Mr.. Halle died of ANGER of the stom-
ach and had been in a low state of
health for several months. He was
born and reared in Coffeeville and
was a member of one of the best
families in Yalobusha county. He
had been a resident of Grenada for
perhaps ten years, and during that
time had made many warm friends,
and the community had learned to
know him as the ever courteous,
good humored and dependable citi-
zen and friend. Before his health
gave away, he was connected at diff
ferent times with two of the best and
most substantial business houses of
the town and vas exceedingly popu-
lar with the trade. He was about
35 years of age. He is survived by
a wife and numerous other relatives
to whom The Sentinel tenders sincere
sympathy.

DOCTOR AND MRS.
BROADSTREET ENTERTAIN

Saturday evning. DR.. and Mrs.
Broadstreet entertained a number of
the young people of Grenada at a
masked party. Each guest CARRIED
himself or herself in some disguise
and, on entering the door, was as
signed a number. After all guests
had arrived. each began to attempt
to penetrate the mystery surrounding
the Identities of the others. Mrs.
Jaw Gore and Miss Roberto Dubard
tied. each having identified the same
number of guests. Miss Louise
Armstrong. of Coffeeville, the honor
quest. received the consolation prize.
the first prize was something. the
consolation prize something else.
After the conclusion of the above
~brain-taxers, soap-bubble-blowing APP
paratus was distributed. Each began
then to vie with his neighbor in
forming beautiful iradescent, multi
colored bubbles. After that some
fine food was distributed.
The party carried the guests back
| to the happy days of childhood, those
| DAYS when Grim Reality and Gaunt
Care, those spectres which with
Stern Necessity now haunt them,
| were not. those days when the bag
of gold was still at the end of the
RAINBOW; those days. those happy,
happy days when rabbits laid eggs
and babies were found in hollow logs.
1t is we'll, when the current of Life
is carrying its burden on toward the
grave, to go back and enjoy again

IN MEMORIAM.

On Thursday last. March l, 1917,
the silent angel of death crept noise
lessly into the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Slaughter in Grenada and gently
called away the spirit of our sweet
teacher. Miss Carrie Frazier.
1t is one of Gods most hidden mys-
t%eries; why We're we called upon to
part with such a loving teacher, and
vet why wouldn't another have done,
that could have seemingly been bet
ter spared? She will be long remem-
bered and loved by her pupils. She
was such a kind. thoughtful. affec-
tionate teacher. But a better thought
comes to use that God loves the good
and faithful.
Like a CLEAN of sunshine was her
presence here;
Gone-leaves a school so dark and
drear,
But the golden gates were open-a
gentle voice said come.
And with farewells unspoken, she
kindly entered home.
A FRIEND.
