ALLEN SPEAKS IN GRENADA.
c Congressional Candidate Addresses
Grenada Audience.


Hon. Jno. F. Allen of Kosciusko
made an address at the court house
in Grenada Wednesday night of this
week in the interests Of his candidacy
for Congress. No announcement was
made of his speech until late that af-
ternoon and owing to the fact that
it was prayer meeting night at the
various churches of the town and
some special arrangem ents were be-
ing made for the Union prayer SER
vice Thursday night, hardly a score
were present. Mr.. Allen talked for
about forty minutes referring
briefly to his record as a legislator
from Alfalfa county and to his Offici-
al acts as district attorney and said
that he felt under special obligations
to the people of Grenada county for
the vote given him when he was elect
ed district attorney and fer the sup
port they had given him as law-en-
forcing officer. He said that the para
mount issue before the people now
was the war and the winning of the
war. He went squarely on record
as endorsing the war; He stated that
it was unavoidable and that Presi-
dent Wilson did everything he could
do to keep out of it. bat when Germa-
ny deliberately broke her sacred
promise and began to ruthlessly sink
our ships end drown our men, wom-
en- and children, no other course was
open. He said that he regarded Wood
row Wilson rs d:vinely called to pre-
side over the deStin;es of tLis Nation
at this hour end to lead the world to
righteous peace. He said that 1t
did lis soul good to know that the
world was looking to Woodrow Will
son to lead them and that Wilson WAS
looked upon today as the greatest
living statemcn in all the earth. He
referred to his opponents in comph-
mentry terms but~said that Mr.. Sis
son had made speeches over the dis
trict last fall in which he took posi-
tions that were Numerically opposed.
AS proof of this, he read from state
ment signed by more than 1875 men of
Chickasaw county who said that Mr..
Sisson said there that the draft was
unconstitutional and that he was
"tired of being told to stand by the
President. Yet at Grenada, Mr.. AL
len Sd1O CndC Mr. OlSSOH WAS TcpOIISu
as saying be loyal in all things. He
said that Mr.. Sisson repeated in sub
stance his Okolona speech at other
places. He insisted that man could
not be half hearted now about the
war and be the man to sit
around the Nations council table at
Washington. He said that when Mr..
Sisson voted against the draft that he
did not believe that he properly rep
resented the people of this congress
ional district. He called to the mind
of his hearers that when Mr.. Sisson
was running against Mr.. Shed Hill
that he insisted that man should
be elected for not more than two
terms certainly not more than three
terms, yet he said that Mr.. Sisson had
already been elected for five terms
and was now asking sixth term.
The speech was a dignifed utter
ance and showed a clear conception
of the issues now dominant in the
life of the Nation.

MRS. A. D. COLLINS DIES
AFTER A SHORT ILLNESS

The community was shocked last
Sunday afternoon when it became
known that Mrs. A. D. Collins had
died. Few knew that she was i'll at
all and even her husband did not
know that she was dangerously III
until the night before. She was in
the store with her husband Wednes-
day afternoon but the next morning
had chill tho there were no alarm
ing symptoms. A physician was not
summoned until Saturday morning.
However her condition showed no
alarming symptoms until that night.
She grew from bad to worse and was
unconscious for the greater part of
Sunday before she died that after
moon. Mrs. Collins was the good wife,
the kind and indulgent mother, the
! thoughtful neighbor and the consid-
crate and helpful friend. She en-
deavored to do good. to sow seeds of
love and kindness and to brighten and
cheer the pathway of those who had
the good fortune to come within her
acquaintance or within the circle of
her association. Her first thought
was for her children, her husband
and her home. She delighted in the
things of her household and filled
the requirement of the noble wife
and the Christian mother.
Mrs. Collins was reared near Can
ton by an aunt, her parents having
died when she was mere child. She
was married to the husband who sur
wives her nearly sixteen years ago.
Had she lived until August 27, next,
she would have been 38 years of age.
She was a member of the Presbyter-
ian church. The funeral services
were conducted Monday afternoon
from the family residence by Rev. r.
A. Tucker of the Methodist church,
Rev. J. c. Carothers, pastor of the
Presbyterian church being too feeble
to be out of his house. To the hus-
band and two children, a girl of ID
and q son of L., The Sentinel tenders
|the very sincerest sympathy. She had
two brothers but their address was
not known hence it was not possible
to communicate with them. Mr.. j. c.
Collins of Cairo and Miss Hettie Col
Inns, brother and sister of Mr.. Col
Inns, were present at the funeral.
