WAUNITA

How often we fail to realize the
blessings which are ours!
This is true in our personal and in
our community life. And this COM
munity is no different in this respect
than any other community.
We have at our very door, within
our county borders, one of the great
est radium hot water springs in the
world. The place where these springs
are found is called Waunita. But to
many Gunnison people Waunita seems
to mean dances and an occasional Sun
day trip. II has not occurred to them
that it is a great resource and val
liable asset of the county which may
some day bring, not hundreds but
thousands, to our community for rest
and health.
We fear that we have been not only
passive but pessimistic in our attitude
toward this great natural resource.
Too often we have heard men ques-
tion the idea that there was radium
in the water. Many times we have
heard sighting remarks of these
springs when there should have been
words of praise.
The writer was informed BY the
man who made the tests of the Wau-
nita hot water for radium that some
of these springs were as good radium
springs as there are in the world.
This man was a disinterested party
and m ade the tests for the State geolo-
gical survey. So our doubts about
Fadium should no longer exist.
DR.. Davis. the owner Of the springs,
has spent thousands Of dollars in im-
provements during the last few years.
Hundreds Of people are eening 10 the
springs every year, and many of tAs0

A PLAIN STATEMENT

To the voters of Gunnison county
explaining why I, as q candidate for
the Office of sheriff, am seeking your
votes in the coming election.
On or about the first day Of June,
1917, the present incumbent Of the
Office, Mr.. Pat Hanlon, came unsoli-
cited to me and said he would not be
candidate again, that was his
choice Of several aspirants, to lay my
plans to that end, and that he would
do everything in his power to make
me successful. Thus matters stood
until short time before the coun-
ty convention when thru rumor
learned that, contrary to the state
ment he had made me, he WAS again
a candidate. Upon approaching him
on the subject and discussing it pro
and con, he still asserted he meant to
run for the office. After thinking the
matter over for a few days and not
wishing to make a dissension in the
party, made him this proposition:
"Pat, We both will lay down and
let the convention select another can
didate acceptable to the party" His
answer was "Not by a D. sighti"
l solemnly swear to the truth Of the
above statements and for this reason
respectfully ask for your support -
q candidate for the Office Of sheriff Of
our great county. Signed,
J. D. JENNINGS.
Sworn to before me q notary public
for Gunnison county, Colorado, this
LIST day Of August, 1918.

GUBERNATORIAL PRIMARY
CONTEST

We are publishing this week the
statement of Thomas J. lyman which
- made by him in the interest of his
campaign for the nomination as
Democratic candidate for Governor
II represents 4 progressive program,
and il remains for the Democratic
voters 10 decide whether his proposed
reforms and the ability of the man
who promises them are such a. TO die
tate change in the Democratic rep
rescntative in the governors chair.
Amy proposed program made by an
aspirant for office must be discount ed
10 Il certain extent. II is easier to
promise than it is to accomplish.
However, such a program may denote
a tendency TO bring about better gov
ernment, and in that, of course, IL l.
good. We should ever be striving for
better government in any political
subdivision.
Ii il only fair for n candidate in a
primary election TO be able to reach
the voters through the press.
II seems, though. that whatever n
public official has done will determine
pretty nearly what support he will re-
ceiye at the hands of the voters. II
he has served well. he will be treated
"tHs u Hh- Ut IiltT
he must suffer the consequences.
And in this Governor Gunter should
win. He has held the confidence of
the people. His administration seems
to be of the substantial and conserya-
tive type which protects him against
any serious criticism. OF course, any
man in his position must stand the at
tack of certain number of persons.
saar.' hn
nor may have appointed n Republican
to certain position. Some think
that. because a man is in some way
identified with a corporation, he should
be denied position on the Council of
Defense. Some like the sound of
new program proposed by a new man.
But to most people, we believe, Gov
ernor Gunter's record and proven abb
lity is n greater assurance of good
state government.
Governor Gunter has the support of
the Democratic party in Gunnison
county, and he deserves it.
In the first place his constructive |
educational program has, not only as
sured a steady development of the /
educational interests of the state, but |
ii has benefited Gunnison and Gunni- |
son county greatly. The Gunnison |
Normal has been our dream for years,
our delicate ward for the last few
years, and now we know it to be a
healthy institution whose future is not 4
questioned. Governor Gunter is one
of those who has helped us to realize
this dream.-and he has helped us
much.
If we wish TO indulge in more or less
selfish considerations, il should again
be said that Governor Gunter deserves
the support of the Gunnison county
democratic party. In the way of ap-
pointments he has given us more at
tention than any Governor has given
us in recent years. There were some
appointments which he tried to give
to our citizens which were defeated by
political conditions beyond his control.
1t is for the Democratic voters to
decide in favor or against Governor
Gunter's administration at the pri-
mary election. and we believe that the
administration will be endorsed.

Grenada County Means Business colored Population
UP NobIy.

Grenada county again comes up to
ing her allotment in the Red Cross
Drive. Just why more was assigned
to this county to be raised than to
any adjoining county, nOtwithstand-
ing the fact that this county is small
er geographically and in point Of pop
ulation, is known only to mind or
minds that sat as wise men around
the council table at Jackson to make
the assessment. However, be it said
the credit Of the noble manhood and
womanhood of the county, that the
fact that the goal was high, that the
mark set was out of proportion, yet
this did not daunt the patriotic ar
dor, zeal and intelligence of the citi-
zenship of the county. Chairman E.
A. Penn went to work with zeal
and his zeal quickened the zeal of
others. Those who have been active
in other war activities were active
in this one. Those who have put 9TH
er matters over to show "our boys"
where Grenada county is in this war
against the authorization of the
world, against the violation Of woman
hood and all the decencies and rights
of civilization, were at the front in
this drive. Grenada conuty fully ap-
preciates that whatever is done in
any county, town, city or state in the
great Nation has it's effect on those
who are standing up against Ger
man guns and cannons and that it is
interpreted for or against Woodrow
Wilson and prosecution of the war
in Germany. Grenada county fully

What q blessed thought to be fac
tor in this great cause. The sons of
Grenada county who have gone forth
to bear Old Glory, to see that the
Stars and Stripes are borne to glor-
ious victory-not a victory that
means conquest, not victory that
means plunder and booty, not VIC
tory that means debauched woman
hood and ruined childhood, but VIC
tory that realizes the brotherhood of
man and the fatherhood Of God and
the rights and the integrity of ma
tions regardless Of how small or how
large-this is the goal to which this
Nation has set its hand and it's heart.
The soldiers of America hear the
voice of God speaking what was spok-
en- to Moses when he was leading the
children of Israel out Of Egypt,
"Speak to the children of Israel that
they go forward"
The colored people of Grenada
county came up like true and loyal
Americans. They responded nObly.
They did well their part. Just think

county who put their shoulders to this
task, The Sentinel takes pleasure in
A. H. Henderson, E. E.
Pettibone and Rev. H. H. Bucking-
ham of Grenada and Jim Ask and
Payne Reid Of district 5. There are
many others who showed just as fine
a spirit and who did their best. The
colored people had patriotic parade
in Grenada last Saturday that was
and that did them great
credit. Some splendid talks were
made at mass meeting at the court
house.
The auction sale of chickens and
other things given by the citizenship
of the county, both white and color
ed, in the City Park Saturday after
noon netted $500 for the Red Cross.
Chairman Penn advises that the
total Red Cross subscriptions for
the county will exceed $4,000.

Camp Sheridan, Ala,

| Camp Sheridan, Ala,
! May 26. 1918.
Dear Editor-Win you please pub
lish the following?:
Friends are we all doing our bit
to win this war? l hope 80, for it is
an evident fact that there is no neu-
trail ground on which any American
citizen can stand and if he is not
helping the American Government
to withhold our means from America
and weaken her and strengthen Ger
many. am proud of the little SER
vice l have had in my Uncle Sans
army and regret one thing and that
| is that haven't seen more. 1t thrills
my heart with joy to see the people
buying so many Liberty Bonds, for
that makes us soldiers know that
there is some men and women out of
the army who are defending and pro-
tecting our rights. Friends, stay to
US, and we boys will raise Old Glory
times how the man who has lots of
money and who has not given to the
cause in order to win this war will
feel when we boys have gained our
rights and ended this war-when VIC
tory is won and we return to meet
our friends in peace. Do you think
this man who has kept his dollars in
his pocket to save pennies can greet
us with a glad handshake and smile
and say, Boys, l was doing my Bit
for you here while you were on the
battle 'front.'" No, he would hang
his head and don't you think this un-
fortunate wretch would rather be
in some German war prison than to
face his rebuke? am sure | would.
/ hope we have no such characters in
good old Mississippi and especially in
Grenada county and also around HOl-
comb for that is my home town.
Don't plant too much cotton but
plenty of food for us, and we will get
Kaiser Bill and end this world war.
/ feel real safe in the hands of Un-
Gle Sam. 1 didn't know l had so
many cousins until got to the Camp
but gee! l see so many in khaki un-
til almost wish to be on the battle
front and see those british Germans
cut down. But if our friends stay
behind us that is all we ask. Some
of US will be killed, and probably
will be one, but if I should I am will
ing to give every drop of my Ameri-
can blood for the honor Of my friends
and my people left in America to re-
that Grenada county has
some blood mingled others on the
rich French soil.
Well, / have written one letter be-
fore but have not received a copy of |
our good old Grenada Sentinel so
will bid you all good bye for this
time, hoping to receive a copy of the |
paper real soon Will write some
time soon with luck to you all am as
ever,
Yours for honor,

A TEN MONTHS OLD BANK
MAKES GOOD SHOWING

The Sentinel notes in the published
statements of four banks in Quit
man county that the resources of the
Citizens Bank of Marks exceed those
of the other banks. This institution
was organized only about ten months
ago and Mr.. M. d. Brett, formerly
of Holcomb, this county, was made
cashier. This showing is a highly
creditable one and must in large
measure be due to Mr.. Brett who is
a man of plenty of energy and an
abundance of good common sense.
Mr.. Brett is intelligent and capable
in all he does. He makes friends
readily and knows how to retain their
confidence and esteem. COngratula-
tions to the Citizens Bank Of Marks,

ing back by any community in Amer
ica that could lend the least conso-
lation to the Kaiser. Grenada county
fully appreciates that somehow there
are just enough of German spies or
German sympathizers in this country
to acquaint in some way the Ger
man government with every act of
Americans. All these things being
fully in the minds of Grenada county
people, there was nothing else to be
done except to ego forward" Too
much can not be, said in praise Of
those who gave of their time and en-
ergy to carry this noble work for
ward. Chairman Penn did his duty,
so did Hon. S. A. Morrison who had
charge of the direction of speakers
and all others. In every part of the
county, in. every neighborhood there
were those who said, "send me,
will carry the Red Cross banner" and
well was the work done. The Senti-
mel would not undertake to mention
all because BY accident some name
might be omitted and because, too,
this article would be too much pro-
longed. Thus the message goes
echoing across the seas to the sick
and wounded soldier, "Grenada coun-
ty will be at your cot to nurse you,
to fan your fevered brow, to speak
of cheer and consolation, to
make you know how many millions
are praying for you to get well, to
see that you get the proper food and
that every possible care and attention
is given you" Is this not a Christly
How comforting should
this be to the mothers, fathers, wives
