WlLLlS--WILLIAMS.

On Thursday morning of last week
Mr.. Lewis Willis led Miss Bessie Will
liams to the marriage altar, the cere-
mony being said at the court house
by n of the officials.
Mr.. Willis resides neal G~raysport
and is a son of the late Gen. R. B.
Willis, and is a gentleman whose de-
meanor and appearance show at once
that he comes of an excellent fam
lily. In addition to this, he pos
sesses many exceptional traits of
character that never fail to give him
access to the confidence of the strang-
er and that show him to be a man of
far more than ordinary talents.
Mrs. Willis is a daughter of the
late Mr.. ]. W. Williams, better
known as Bud" Williams, and is not
only pretty and attractive but has
those endowments of talent that
stamp her as a young woman of en-
ceptional worth.
The Sentinel wishes for Mr.. and
Mrs. Willis the reaping of the rich
est things from natures storehouse.

McNEIL-STEVENS.

Grenada was treated to another
surprise wedding Sunday when Mr..
Ragsdale Mcneil of Greenwood made
Miss Miriam Stevens, second daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. l. NJ. Stevens,
his bride. The ceremony was said
by Rev. T. G. Freeman at the home
of the bride, one mile south of Gre
nada, shortly before high noon. On
~ a very few friends besides the fam
!ly were present. The bride and
groom left on the first train for
points south after which they will be
at home to their friends in Green
wood where Mr.. Mcneil is engaged
n the cotton business.
Mr. Mcneil comes from n of the
best families of LeFlore county and
is a young man of splendid bearing
and has evidently thoroughly estab-
tished himself in the confidence of the
business world as is amply attest
ed by his successful business ventures.
Mrs. Mcneil comes from a home
where the influence has been ideal
to train up children in the way they
should go. The mother and other
members of the household have not
neglected to give the children of the
home their best thought and atten-
ton. This excellent tutelage has not
failed to exhibit itself in the char
acter of this lovely young woman
She is highly accomplished and at
the time of her marriage was filling
a position in the Holcomb CONSOLE
dated school, one of the most i'm
p%ortant places in the county. She
is attractive in person, has an abund-
ance of native talent and that cul-
ture necessary to bring out and de-
velop natures gifts. The Sentinel
tenders Mr.. and Mrs. Mcneil con-
gratulations and best wishes.

REV. r. A. TUCKER COMES
BACK TO GRENADA

The Sentinel feels that it voices
not only the sentiment of the Meth
odist church but that of the entire
community when it states that Gre
NADIA is glad to have Rev. r. A. Tuck
er again in her midst. He has serv-
ed this charge for two years and the
record he has thus far made was the
warrant of Bishop Murrah and Pre-
siding Elder felt no doubt for return
ing him. Mr.. Tucker is a good
preacher, and a man imbued with
the very highest conceptions of the
ministry and its duty to the world.
He has a fine native talent and is
able to see affairs not only from
the standpoint of the clergy but from
the view point of the world at large.
He loves his fellowman and knows
how to deal with them on the broad
basis of practical affairs combined
with a spirit of brotherly love. The
Sentinel is pleased to be able to state
that Mr.. Tucker and his excellent
family will be citizens of Grenada
for another twelve monthsh.

MR.. AND MRS. WEBB
LOSE THEIR BABY

Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Webb, only a
short while residents of Grenada, lost
their II months old baby, E.B. Jr.,
last Friday. The remains were car
ried to Water Valley, their old home,
for interment. Though this little
child remained with his parents but
a short while yet he was with them
long enough to entwine himself into
their love and affections beyond what
anybody who has never experienced
the ennobling love of a little child
understands. But as they loved the
child, SO did and does Jesus, only in
a higher and nobler sense, and while
the hearts of the parents bleed, they
should know that their baby awaits
them on the other shore.
The Sentinel tenders sympathy.

HON. BEN HUMPHREYS
MAKES WAR SPEECH


the Kaiser had said to the ambassa-
dor that Germany would take no nom
sense from the United States after
this war was over, in other words,
the Kaiser talked as if the people Of
the United States were a lot of in
tellectpal pigmies and cravens who
shuddered at even the sight of a Ger
man. He urged unity. He said the
country faced its greatest crisis but
that in the great task it was setting
itself to perform it was rendering the
world the greatest service that was
even rendered by any nation since
the foundation of the world. He
plead that M~ississippians quit think
ing of anything but backing the Presi-
dent and winning the war. Mr.. Hum
phreys said the sainted dead sent
their voices back from the spirit land
and asked in their name that every
thing else but supporting their Presi-
dent be forgotten; that this was
necessary to win the war. Mr.. Hum
phreys said he did not ask for sup
port of the President because the
President happened to be Woodrow
Wilson, but that he would take the
same position were Taft, Roosevelt or
any body else President. He paid
a splendid tribute to the soldiers
Of the Confederacy and told of the
grand and inspiring sight these sons
who wore the gray made when in
Washington at their last re-un-
ion and he said the old Veteran in
that parade who carried the banner
with the inscription, Damn a man
who is not for his country right or
wrong" had uttered a statement that
would go ringing down the ages.
Mr.. Humphreys was most frequent
ly applauded and many in the audi
ence gathered around him at its con-
to express appreciation and
to thank him for coming to Grenada

Grenada is glad indeed that the
Methodist Conference at Oxford au-
thorized the investment of fifty thou
sand dollars in a new dormitory for
Grenada College. This splendid in
stitution under the wise, ~farseeing
and able direction of DIR. J. R. Coun-

odism and Grenada is proud to claim
him as one of her citizens.
In noting the authority for this
much needed addition to the College,
The Sentinel voices the sentiment Of
the entire community in expressing
appreciation of the able and aggres-
sive work of Rev. H. M. Brownlee,
College commissioner, through whose
labors the new structure is made
possible at this time. It is pleasing
to note that Mr.. Brownlee was again
assigned as commissioner for the Col
lege. This assures that Mr.. Brown
lee and his excellent family are to
be residents of Grenada for another
year.
