Government Orders Lady Chickens
To Be KEPT by Owner.

Orders have been issued from
Washington City that poultry own
ers must not sell their hens, hence
the farmers and poultry laisers of
this section would do well to take due
notice and act accordingly. The pur-
pose of the order is, of course, to
take care of the food supply by max
ing possible the greatest number of
eggs. There are but few that realize
what the egg product means to the
food supply Of the Nation. 1t is Il
war order, but in observing it. a
good lesson will be learned and still
another step taken in the process of
practicing thrift and the proper econ

cluded in This Lot.

Once again Grenada COUNTY has
been called upon by the great Gov
ernment which protects the homes,
the lives and the property of the peo-
pie OF the county to send some of her
sons to the training camps SO that
they may be gotten in readiness to
go across the waters and stop Ger
man onslaught there-stop those bar
barous hordes so they may Law none
of their cruel ard profane hands up-
on the mothers, wives. sisters ard
sweethearts in this country.
This county wes due to send so
men and that number were duly noti-
fled by the Local Boerc and told to
be in readiness. There were but two
white men listed ir the call, Mr.. viii
liam 3. Crur1p of Parsons and Mr..
Cleveland Clanton of the Chapel HiI
community Only one Of the whites
reported, Mr.. Crurnp. II was said
that Mr.. Claaton was sick hut there
was no official advices to that effect.
1t would hardly seem that any man
who bears the illustrious name of
Grover Cleveland-a man whom the
clamor Of the strong or the sting of
lashing tongues could not turn aside
from duty and man who was cour-
ageous, brave and wise-could or
would side step any duty. Naturally
there was just little chagrin and
disappointment among the white -peo-
pie that one Of their race should have
failed to report. Mr.. Cianton comes
from family known as among the
best citizenship of the county and it
is felt certain that be is too Jealous
of the Clanton name not to have had
good and valid excuse for failure
to be on hand, and that such ex-
cuse will be in the hands of the Lo-
cal Board within 4S hours.
Robert Edward Long, better known
as DARBY Long," was among those
sent away but he was rot one listed
for this coll.
The hour of departure Was Tues
day afternoon, February 10, at 4.45
O'clock. At the suggestion OF Mayor
Thomas nearly every business house
in town closed for one half hour and
a large crowd assembled at the depot
to bid the two white youths and the
African youths God speed on their

to be sent to Camp Pike. near xdtsleA

The county chairmen of the Sixth

was held at at the public school

of Defense. had the meeting called
for the purpose of getting the sew
eral counties actively and earnestly
at work in cooperating with the gov
ernment in the prosecution of the

Mrs. McGehee was introduced by
Rev f. A. DeMiller and she held the
rapt attention of her audience for
one hour. Her speech was full of
patriotism and she presented the is
sues involved understandingly and
persuasively She stressed obedience
to orders sent out from Washington
and cooperation with every branch
of the government service.
When she had concluded her eX-
cellent address the work of specially
organizing for the war was begun.
Mrs. c. H. Calhoon was made chair
man of local Thrift Club and Miss
Jane Young secretary. The ladies of
Grenada are in thorough accord with
everything to sustain the soldiers on
the battle lines, and if Mrs. McGehee
will carry her message to every
neighborhood in the state the ladies
will see that there is such war
spirit throughout Mississippi that the
fellow who would utter any disloyal
sentiment or who would wantonly
criticize those at the head of the ma
ton will have to take to tall timber
There will be no comfortable spot in
Mississippi for him.
