RETURNS IN AIRSHIP,
JESSIE WINDHAM
ROYALTY RECEIVED.

Grenada had one of her sons who
has gone tothearmy to return home on
last Saturday. He went away on the
train but came back in an airship.
He came without the community hav-
ing advance knowledge of his coming
but the whirr and buzz of his ma
chine as he neared the town
soon put the populace astir. He was
about 1000 feet in the air when first
seen over the town but his machine
soon made a dip and he was circllng
over the city scarcely more than 200
feet in the air. He alighted just south
of town in a field east Of the railroad.
The old plow rows which prevented
the wheels from running smoothly
when they reached terra firma, were
responsible for the crushing OF one
wheel of the machine. He soon got In
touch with Memphis however, and was
assured that another wheel would be
in that night. Almost the entire town
went out to extend welcome and bid
the visitor God-speed and great was
the Joy when it was found that Ca
Diet Jessie Windham had steered the
machine to his native heath. He was
most heartily congratulated and 1t
is hardly necessary to state that his
parents. Mr.. and Mrs. J. M, Windham
were almost wild with JOY. Jessie en-
listed last December and was sent to
the Georgia School of Technology at
Atlanta and from there to Princeton,
N. j., and from Princeton to Field
in Texas. He remained in Texas for
several months and was transferred
to Park Field Memphis, where he now
is. Grenada is proud of this youth who
has gone out to bear the flag of his
country. He is fine young man in ev-
cry respect. Sunday morning early it
was understood he was TO begin his
return fight He ascended about 10
O'Clock and after circling round and
round to see if his machine was all
in order, heright toow a northwestern
ly course for Clarksdale. In the af-
ternoon he landed back in Memphis
all o. K. When he left hundreds of
eyes stood and watched until the
ship was a mere speck in the clouds.
and many a silent prayer was offered
for his safety and at the Methodist
Church special prayer was offered.
He made the trip from Park Field,
10 miles above Memphis, to Grenada
in an hour and 10 minutes

w. r. YEAGER PASSES AWAY.

Mr.W. X. Yeager passed away at
his home In Grenada on Wednesday
morning OF last week in the 62nd
year of his age. Interrment was had
Thursday afternoon at Nebo Church
in the north east portion of this coun-
ty. Mr.. Yeager had been in a low
state of health for more tnan a year
hence his demise was no great sur
prise Through his many months of
aff1iction, he was patient, yet hopeful
and never allowed the shadow that
hovered over him to dim that faith
which had been fixed in him for many
years of a crucfied and risen Lord.
He died with the Christians hope and
and in the assurance of happy home
in the beyond.
Mr.. Yeager was good citizen and
met every proposition that confront
ed him in life with the best lights
that were before him. He had the mis-
fortune many years ago to lose one of
his arms. yet he never faltered at any
duty or hes1tated at any task. He was
a kind and thoughtful neighbor, a
good and provident husband and an
indulgent father and dependable
friend. He moved to Grenada from his
farm in the northeastern portion Of
the county more than a dozen years
ago where he enlarged his circle of
friends and met new duties of life
He was industrious and persevering
in all things He had to do at differ
ent times with numerous public du-
ties but was true and faithful in all
things. He leaves a wife, a little
adopted baby boy and three other
children to whom The Sentinel ten

We wish we could express to one

We are therefore just undertaking to

is possible for us to be. Everybody
was so kind. When the end came, we
fully realize that your hearts bled
with ours. May God bless one and all.
