EXPR ESSES SPECIAL
THANKS TO GRENADA.
VISIT LATER PROMISED.

The Editor takes the liberty OF

Hon. Pat Harrison, in effect Senator
elect from Mississippi, because he
feels that Mr.. Harrison's loyal friends

impossible almost for him to write
each one personal letter. The Sen
tinel Editor is especially pleased that
Mr.. Harrison is so appreciative OF
the work of his friends in this county.
He had them by the score and they
let no grass grow under their feet:

My dear Lawrence:
| want you to know how very much
| appreciate the interest that you
took in my candidacy. VIII you be
good enough to express to my friends
in> your section Of the State how
grateful | am to them for the un-
ceasing interest they took in my can
didacy. You can never know how
much | appreciate the way you acted.
You gave of your time and the col
umns of your paper to the cause for
which | was fighting. am deeply
grateful and / want you to know it.
Grenada county came across in a
wonderful way / didn't make a
speech there, and left it entirely in
the hands of my friends, and that
makes the victory more pleasing.
When l get the opportunity, and
have rested up some, am coming up
there and express my appreciation
to the good people of that
county.
l am going to try to win the re-
spect of those who were against me
by rendering them the very best pos
slble service that l can, and hope
that my department, and my service
IN behalf of my state will be pleasing
to my friends.
With every expression of good
wishes, am,
Very sincerely your friend,
PAT HARRISON

NEWbERGER ON
LIBERTY BONDS.

In the Penny Bee published in
Memphis of Sept. 13, there appeared
the following from Mr.. Joseph New
burger on the Fourth Liberty Loan =
Now it becomes our duty, in or
der to put this loan through to do
the first sacrifice Of the war because
the loans heretofore have come from
the surplus; now we must dig down
into our real capital and assist the
Government. There is a human side
to this war that many of us do not
realize. The brother the father, and
the son when he is 5000 miles from
him loved ones, wants to know that
they are protected, that the mother
is not crying for bread, that the
child is able to go to school and that
the pleasures of home still enjoyed
while he is fighting for his country.
The only way we can Go this is 10
buy bonds so as the Government can
spend this money with her people
and let it flow through the channels
Of trade and everyone become bene-
fted by it. We all know that the
price of all commodities is high, that.
labor should get her just reward.
that the manufacturer should get a
profit on all he manufactures and
that nothing should be disturbed in
business so that the Government can
reap the profits Of the individual
through taxes and by the sale of
bonds, so that everyore may be hap
py in the enjoyment Of the fruits of
their labor and above all as beauti-
full, sweet and AS loving as II he was
here. Our sole aim anc sole purpose
is to win the war and we car onl
do this by furnishing an adi;tiont
two million. if necessary i've --nillio
men, and we must feed them and "
must clothe them; therefore, it
an absolute necessity that in tf
recesses of our h cart we
do some sacrifice in order to help the
and buy hberally of the
Fourth Liberty Loan.
Never has a country been more
determined in her aims than ours;
that we must sacrifice everything so
that there wiz be no more wars and
people can live hereafter in the en-
]Oyment of true peace built upon the
love of each for the other and both
for God. We hope that the goal of
all this sacrifice of money and blood
will be the blottir G out of all preju-
1ices, envy and sordid lust for power
Therefore in the love of our country
We must leave no stone unturned to.
push this Fourth Liberty Loan to
end. We must go home
1T night and in our prayers ask God
% help us do all we can to buy as
many bonds as possible and show to
he world that the spirit of America
s one of love of our country above

SOME MATTER LEFT OUT.

Among the news items left out
last week were lot of personals.
We had new makeup man on the
job for more than day and he did
almost everything but the right thing,
hence several items that should have
appeared were left dead" on the gal
ley.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1918-09-20

The Sentinel makeup man failed
to include several matters of a per-
sonal nature last week and among
them was notice of Mr.. w. D. Sal
mons visit to the A, & M. College.
where he was the guest of his cou-
sin, Mr.. w. ]. Jennings, the very
capable, efficient and satisfactory
secretary of that institution. Mr..
Salmon was a student of the A. Ss
NJ. College something like fifty or
sixty years ago and was of course
very much pleased at the great
changes in the College and the sur
roundings.
Miss Bessie Young left last week
to accept a position in one of the
legal departments of the attorney
generals office at Washington. Miss
Bessie is fortunate just now in hav-
ing trained herself for the law. She
fits in well with the demands of the
hour. She. is an exceptionally Fl
young woman and may be relied
for the very best service which
can render.
