ANGELS OF MERCY FOR
BLOODY BATTLE FIELDS

On March 1, 1918, 1920 nurses
had been enrolled by the Red Cross.
OF these 5,735 were engaged in ac-
tive service at home and abroad: l.
200 were doing teaching and commit,
tee work and approximately 5000
were enrolled with special units for
immediate service. The present av-
erage rata of enrolment is 1000
nurses a month. By recent estl-
mate of the Surgeon Generals office,
about 100000 nurses may pc neeoeo
for our army alone during the pres
ent year and the Allies are depend
ing on us to supplement their nurs-
ing service.
Phe Red Cross is making an earn
est effort to meet this demand: II
will meet it. But to do it will have
to have the whole-hearted support OF
every. one who. can find place for
self Sacrifice. Will you help? Surely
every one wants to help.

SOLDIERS EXPRESS THANKS.

To Our Friends at Home:-
The man in whose heart there is
no gratitude is to be pitied. The man
whose heart is not touched when he
is remembered by his friends is
base migrate.
This will not apply in to least to
the men of Headquarters Co. lao F.
A., to whom the goo6 people of Gre
NADIA sent the box. of tobacco q few
days ago through The FaLherree
Drug Co." 1t is never the, valoe of
a gift that counts but the: motive
which inspired the gift. We know
you were prompted by no other mo-
tive than love for US and a desire to
make us happy. So our hearts go
out to you in gratitude for the re-
memberance.
Nothing touches us closer and
makes us any more anxious to be good
soldiers than the consciousness that
those for whom we fight, love us,
and appreciate the sacrifices we are
making. We know you are behind us
and we will see to it that your faith is
not misplaced. Again in behalf OF the
boys thank you for the tobacco:

thank personally the party who sent
him the valuable pipe.

REVIVAL CLOSED
THE GREAT RESULTS

The revival meeting which closed
it's two weeks labor last Sunday night
at the Methodist church was one of
the greatest Grenada has had for
years. There were something in ex-
cess of fifty added to the membership
of the Methodist church besides 28
who gave their names to unite with
the other churches of the town.. DR..
s. P. Walker, who did the preach
ing, is no ordinary man. Many of
his sermons we're equal to the best
ever heard in Grenada. All Of his
sermons were good. He was not SEN
sational. He was persuasive, force
full and powerful. His logic is su-
perb. Prof. Boyd his singer, Just
fitted each and every sermon and
Miss Cason, the lovely woman who
furnished the piano music, filled ev-
ery need and seemed to breath the
very spirit of prayer and petition in
to her music. Grenada enjoyed these
good people. They did the town good
and everybody was sorry to see them
90. Grenada shall follow them with
keen interest for long while.
DIR. Walker went from here to Ok.
ford where he began a. meeting Mon
day.

Write it down that Grenada county
took her quota of Liberty Bonds and
more. That's all that was necessary.
IF more had been needed more would
have been done. The bonds were
taken without much ado. Some
counties had to do some corkscrewing
and are still rounding 'em up" with
the hope of getting out of the woods.
Chairman Ray and his co-laborers,
Winston Penn, w. B. Hoffa, Bruce
Newsom and others in which it will
not do to overlook the ladies-the
factor that perhaps had as much to
do with selling the bonds as any other,
if not more are to be congratulated.
The committees and statesmen outside
of the town came up nObly. Each
and every one seemed to put his or
her shoulder to the wheel and seemed
to realize that the task for the
county rested specially upon them.
1t is we'll that the obligation has been
met. 1t is we'll that that duty is be-
hind. There is-never any doubt about
Grenada county people will do
when they get the facts or when they
find out that duty calls. By this it
is not meant to say that there were
not some halfway slackers or that
there were any. The record will show
that. 1t is hoped that all the tabu-
lations will be made in few days
and that The Sentinel can publish
next week a list of the purchasers as
we'll as the amount bought byfeach
one. The statistics as to Germany's
eighth war loan, shows that that
country has sold since the war start
ed, $2O,8OO, 100000 in bonds or $3.50
apiece for every man, woman and
child in that country when the war
started

GRENADA HIGH AND
DURANT HIGH HAVE
EVEN BREAK

Durant High School team came up
last Thursday for couple of games
with Grenada High. Bob Townes
outpitched Lyon at all stages of the
game but was not accorded the sup
port that wins base ball games.
Townes only gave Durant five bingles,
whereas Lyon was touched for eleven
safeties, one of which was a two
Dagger by Ben Townes. However,
on the other hand the Grenada boys
evidently ha dtheir minds on fish or
some other foreign substance, and if
Durant ever got chance to hit the
ball to the infield they were as good
as scored for our boys were all feet
and if they did manage to get their
hands on the ball they would throw
it forty feet over the baseman's head.
The score in details follows:

TWO DEAD, ONE WOUND.
ED AS RESULT OF HUNT
FOR SLACKERS

Ripley, April 29.-When detach-
ment of % Camp Pike soldiers, under
command of Captain James Finley,
attempted to round up eleven desert
.ers and slackers at the farm of Bob
Green. near this city, Lee Adams,
a civilian guide from Ripley, was in
stantly killed by Green, who also
wounded J. T. Connor, another guide,
Green was killed few seconds later
by Private Donaldson, a member Of
the detachment.
All of the deserters are now. in
Jail. excepting two. Connor IS in a
perilous condition at a Memphis hos
pital. The town is considerably
aroused over the death Of Mr.. Adams
and the wounding of Mr.. Connor,
and mob violence has been expected.
The soldiers, however, are guarding
the Jail where the slackers are being
held.
When it became known in Ripley
that eleven slackers were in hiding on
the Bob Green farm, four miles south
west Of Ripley, the detail from Camp
Pike was sent for to round up the
men. The farm was searched Sat
urday night, but no men were found.
Discovered One Stacker.
Captain Finley and his men made a
second trip early this morning and,
discovering one Stacker approaching
the farm, placed him under arrest.
This occurred at daybreak. A few
minutes later, Green came out and
asked Adams and Connor, the guides
of the detachment, and both promi-
nent citizens of Ripley, to go into
the house with him. Private Donald
son accompanied the guides.
Without a word of warning Green
reached into a trunk and came up
shotting with a heavy automatic re-
volver. Adams was shot through the
back and died where he fell. Con-
nor cot a bullet through one lung
and another through one of his thighs
before hex could put a bullet INTO
Green.
Private Donaldson "opened from
the hip" with his Springfield, his first
shot getting Green's heart and the
others riddling him. Green died on
the trunk from which his revolver
had been drawn few instants pre-
viouS.

Faces of Lovely Women Give Cheer
Surgical Dressing. =
There is hardly buster place any
where in Grenada than the Red Cross
Headquarters. The good women OF
this community have been diligently
laboring there for weeks and weeks
and they go on from day to day
with cheerfulness and radiance of
thought and purpose that shows them
to be true daughters of noble women
as they ply their needles in this great
work. Their lovely faces can but
mirror themselves far beyond the con-
fines of Grenada. The cantonments,
the boys across the seas-these see
them in many garments and best of
all their daily sacrifices, so willingly
and graciously made, will unquestion-
ably kindle anew the fires of patriot
ism and high endeavor in the breasts
of those who are bearing their bodies
that these women and others through
out the land may be saved from Ger
man rapine and lust. The Great King
of the universe, the Scriptures teach,
never fails to smile upon those who
so unreservedly labor for others.
Within the past few days, class
in surgical dressing under the skill
full direction of Mrs. H. P Hull, sis
ter of Mrs. J. L. Scott, has been add
ed to the work of Red Cross workers.
1t is indeed a beautiful and inspiring
sight to look in upon this class with
their white SUITS and caps as they
watch their instructor and follow with
scientific precision her directions.
Mrs. Hull comes specially qualified
for her work and Grenada feels un-
der special obligations to her for
what she is so unselffshly doing. To
Mrs. J. L. Scott, must largely be Civ
en- the credit for this enlargement of
the Red Cross workers endeavor
Mrs. Scott is enthusiastic in everything
in the way of Red Cross work and
has gone to some pains to specially
equip herself for this special work
and when Mrs. Hull goes away, car
no doubt continue to direct the class
of surgical dressers.

Brother, Ivanhoe Lodge Number 8,
Knights of Pythias lost another one
Of it's Charter and most beloved men,

citizen, the writer's, a life long
friend. At his funeral there was a
great concourse who had gathered to
do honor to the memory of man
whom the whole community had hon.
ored, and that part of it which knew
him intimately loved.
The honors that came to him as
a Pythian always represented de-
serts rather than ambitions, and were
always paid for by services so dis
tinguished that the honor returned to
those who had commanded him, for
he always interpreted a call for Pyth-

SUING ON RAILROAD CLAIMS,

Whereas the Act of Congress ap-
proved March 21, 1918, entitled An
Act to Provide for the Operation of
Transportation Systems While Under
Federal Control, provides (Section
10) "That carriers while under Fed
eral control shall be subject to all
laws and liabilities as common car
riers, whether arising under State
or Federal laws or at common law,
except in SO far as may be consist
ent with the provisions of this Act
or with any order of the President.
But no prices, mesne or final, shall be
levied against any property under
such Federal control;;" and
Whereas it appears that suits
against the carriers for personal in
juries, freight and damage claims,
are being brought in states and juris
dictions far remote from the place
where plaintiffs reside or where the
cause of action arose; the effect
thereof being that men operating the
trains engaged in hauling war ma
terials, troops, munitions, or sup
plies, are required to leave their
trains and attend court as witnesses.
and travel sometimes for hundreds
of miles from work necessitating abb
+sence from their trains for days and
sometimes for week or more: which
practice is highly prejudicial to the
interests of the Government and Sc
riOusly interferes with the physical
operation of the railroads: and the
practice of suing in remote jurisdic-
tions is not necessary for the pro-
lection of the rights or the just in
terests of plaintiffs.
1t is therefore ordered, That all
suits against carriers while under
Federal control must be brought in
the county or district where the plain-
tiff resides, or in the county or dis
trict the cause of action arose.

In re: Petition for pardon Of Henry
Hager, Jr.
Hon. B. F. Thomas, Mayor,
Grenada, Miss.
Dear Sir
This is to inform you that the pc
tition for pardon of the above named
party was taken up and given care
full consideration, and, in view of the
fact that the members of the Board

sion that said petition contained some
merit, it was placed upon what is
termed as our "Meritorious List" and
is now being advertised by the Board
in the Jackson Daily News, as per
requirements of the Law.
1t is now necessary that the petit
ton for pardon again be advertised
in some local newspaper in the Coun-
ty in which the crime was committed,
setting forth fully the grounds on
which the pardon is sought, such pub
lication to extend over period Of
thirty days and to begin Immediately.
If there be no newspaper in the Coun-
ty of the crime, you are required to
advertise said petition by posting
same in three conspicuous places in
the County, one of which shall be at
the front door of the Court House.
In either case, a sworn affidavit at
tached to proof of publication must
be forwarded to the undersigned be-
fore our next meeting, at which time
this petition will be called up for fl
nal consideration, provided the
above requirements have been COM
piled with.
l would suggest that you have ev-
erything in readiness to present all
favorable evidence in behalf of this
petition at out next meeting. as this
will be the only hearing you will be
entitled to for at least one year. II
the petition is rejected by the Board
at this meeting it cannot be called
up again before full year has
elapsed, so you can see the necessity
of being prepared.
Yours very truly,
