| Dear Sister: Received your letter and
was very much pleased TO hear from You
and the rest of the family. ! can say
when receive a word from you and the
people from the hill coming from the
dear old L. s. A., that | am hearing
from the happiest people in the world.
Avis. you may be proud that YOU also
the rest of the people in Vermont, are
in America, for there is no place that
can take the place of America. When
left New York harbor, a great many
of the BOYS began to shed tears but as
We NuA iHtb Auf EitdA stu NH'H
the wind began TO blow and the boat
rocked from side TO side SO no dishes
could be kept on the tables. there were
too many of the lads that were far too
afraid to weep.
When we landed in England, the mud
was up to our ankles and as we landed
at a rest camp for few days, ! hap
pened 10 bunt up against an Englishman.
Being interested in the war, ] finally
asked how much longer he thought the
war would last. The reply It is impos
sible for me to write in letter. Still
the Englishman does not like the Amer
lean.
I will try to describe the English
girl that first met in England. As we
were on the train at station, an Eng. |
lish girl came up to the car window,
selling newspapers and novels. Seven |
other lads and were in the same ear, so
the lads began to kid her and ask her |
how the English liked the different kinds |
OF nstionalities. They finally asked her
If the English girls 90 about with the |
American boys. In reply she said, mo,
we go with no one but our nationality"
So the girl asked me what ] was. and
said that | was English. Then she
gave me cakes, pears and nuts to eat,
and when the train pulled out she shook
hands with me and said, II am sorry
to see you 60, for know that you will
never return" In reply / said that the
Americans will not return until they
have won the war
We are now in France, where the peo-
pie like the Americans 1t certainly is
| nice country and there are a great
many pretty girls here in France.
The people are very old fashioned. The
men will lead their horses Instead OF
IRVING them and the houses are old and
i'd. The cities put you in mind of

We are certainly having some fine {
weather.. The dust is flying about and

Ladies, don't forget to plant ZEN

Zennia is the Town flower. Every

UP TO OUR REPUTATION! We
cant go backward; we must press
forward! Our town is the most
BEAUTIFUL in the State, and we
must keep it so.
If the League has done nothing
else, it has the beauty Of a clean
business section. 1t is very seldom
that YOU see a merchant sweep his
trash out on the Square to be blown
hither and thither. They are now
our staunchest Allies. Aren't we
proud of our ALLIES though! We
must keep the papers off the street
in front of our homes, tit will not do
to let our husbands see any papers
on our front, the joke might turn on
us) since they are doing what they
can to help us. This appeal is to.
our coIored citizens as well and we

As before stated in these columns

will be remembered, moved to this
county last.year from Marshall scoun-
ty,. yet He has not failed to think
of the people who honored him with
a membership in the Senate and has
kept in touch with them. The in
terests of that county have been we'll

NADIA county has brought him in
touch with Grenada county people
and those, who have gotten to know
him esteem him most highly. Mr.
Carothers, while without legislative
soon caught the step and
there, as always at home, he has been
true to- the highest and best ideals
of citizenship and of public policy.
He has the profoundest respect of the
Senate membership. He has not fail
ed to meet with single committee
Of which he is member and has new
er failed to respond to roll call when
not detained in a committee room.
He has been intelligent as well as dis

record shows that Grenada county

WINTER BEEN QUITE ILL.

Hon. Wa. Winter, representative
in the lower house of the Mississippi
legislature from Grenada county, is
just out after a confinement of nearly
three weeks from measles He is
able now to be at his post but is far
from well and it may be necessary
for him to come home for recupera-
ton. Grenada county has every rea-
son to be proud of Mr.. Winters rec
ord. He is regarded IS one of the
safest and most level headed men in
the legislature. He is held in the
very highest esteem by his fellow
members. He has been much dis
tressed that his illness has kept him
from participating in much imoprt-
ant legislation. There is not an iota
of demagogism about Winter. He
never fails to try to acquaint him
self with every matter to be con-
sidered, and hence is able to cast an
intelligent ballot. 1t is hoped that
if he finds it necessary to dome home,
that in a.few days he will, be able to
return to participate in matters that
are so often rushed Through by de-
signing po.;.;ciaas thc .c,os.f.S hours
of session wheir- many legislators
have already gone home.

CHANGES ON NORTH
SIDE OF SQUARE

The Grenada Ford Agency is now
occupying the building formerly oc-
cupied by the American Express Com
pany in the F. & A. M. Building on
the North side of the public square.
The place has been thoroughly re-
modelled and new plate glass front
put in and newly painted and made to
conform as to looks with the other
room they also have in the same
building. The new addition adds
much to the beauty of that side of
the square.
The American Express Company
have moved into the new building
just erected for them next door to
the Grenada Auto Company by Mr..
L. ]. Doak. 1t is much nicer place
than the one they have been using,
that is before it was remodelled.
These changes give Grenada even
more claim to the title which has
not yet been disputed-"The City
Beautiful"

TO STOP LOSS OF
10000, ,ooe EGGS

Washington. D. c., March 9Th
Over 15O,000,000 eggs will be last to
the food supply of the United States
if the old practice of sending hens
to market at this season-Is contlnu-
ed. Figures compiled by the poultry
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture show that
more than 100000 laying hens.
each capable of producing 80 eggs,
are sent to market from the South
ern States in the winter and early
spring.
Every. effort, therefore. is being
made to encourage farmers to keep
their hens until after the spring lay
ing season, thereby getting divi-
dend for keeping the hen through the
winter. The specialists point out
that when a hen is sold for meat ear
ly in the spring, the farmer gets no
egg return for feeding and keeping
her through the worst months OF
the year.
Moreover, the hen is marketable as
poultry after she has produced her
spring eggs. Poultry in May may
bring 2 cents a pound less than 1t
does in February, but, they point
out. the so eggs produced by the
hen. largely from wastes, more than
offset any reduction in the price Of
fered for live poultry.
An enegetic egg-saving campaign
to prevent early slaughter of the hen
that "lays the golden egg" is now
being conducted throughout the
Southern States. North of the Ohio
River, farmers have long appreciat-
ed the advantage of getting the
spring crop of eggs and marketing
their hens after the laying season or
in the fall. They believe that adop-
ton of this plan by southern chicken
raisers will be profitable and will ma
terially add to the food supply OF the
Nation.

has lust accepted a contract to tw1ri
the ball for this season with the Tex
as League at Waco and will proba-
bly, leave for the Lone Star state
about the 18th, inst. There has been
quite deal of bidding to get Mr..
Pearson which is the very best at
test of his success as a professional.
His career has been one of promotions
and he is now scarcely twenty-five
wears of age. In 1912, he Iwas con-
nected with the Cotton States
League. The next year with the Kit
ty League of Hopkinsville. In 1914,
the South Atlantic League out bid
all others while in 1915, the South
ern League of Atlanta and Chatta-
nooga took Grenada's champion. In
1916 the Virginia League OF Ports
mouth came in for this services and
retained him until the latter part of
1917 when Uncle Sans call practi-
cally broke up the League. The lat
ter half of that season was played
with the Western Association of Tul-
sa. Mr.. Pearson has fine physique
and is fine character and can be
relied upon to sustain himself well
in whatever he undertakes. When the
base ball season closes he gives the
remainder of the year to the cot
ton busines, having represented a
large cotton firm last winter at Hol-
landale. He has sweet and charm
ing wife and a bouncing baby boy.
