with that smile known only to interview
ers, reporters and book agents, "is that
they make one appear SO cocksure, so
dreadfully conceited. You sound like a
prig when they have done with you. 1t is
really a poor idea-getting to know
authors. l have notion it shouldn't be
done. l believe that a talent for writing
is bottled up quite apart from the rest Of
a person and that utterly stupid persons
often write splendidly. Not that they
have no ideas outside of their writing.
They have-any quantity-but they are
dull ones. So what you say about me
will not necessarily be about the person
who writes my books"

can't exactly feel that any one is missing.
The trans and buses and hotels are so
crowded that it is hopeless to get into
them, and there is no such thing as getting

France now is to come away or stay

PLANS TO REVIVE FAIR.
Subscription of Nearly $5,O0O.OO AL
ready Raised

Those pushing the movement to
rejuvenate the Fair and to rebuild
the Fair Grounds property are fe-
licitating over the response made to
the call for funds to do the work.
1t is stated that nearly $4,000 had
already been subscribed. The pro-
moters indulge the hope that there
will be liberal subscriptions by the
farmers Of the County and that the
plans now in mind may result in CIV
ing the County it's greatest, biggest
and best fair ever yet held in Gre
NADIA. The recent street fair held
in Grenada furnishes the inspiration
for the idea that the growth of the
town and the County is ready for
something better and more lasting.
Whatever good may come to the
County out of the plans now being so
industriously worked for the rebuild
ing of the Fair, there are none who
deserve more credit than DR.. w.
p. Ferguson who is fortunate in hav-
ing another equally jealous public
spirited man to aid him in the person
of Mr.. H. B. Barbee.

DOTY ANNOUNCES FOR MAYOR.

The Sentinel is commissioned to
place the name of Hon. w. S. P.
Doty before the voters of Grenada
for the office of Mayor. In present
ing the name Of Mr.. Doty, The Senti-
mel feels that it is presenting the can
didacy of one of the towns best
known and most capable citizens.
Mr.. Doty has served one term as
mayor. He has also been member
of the Mississippi legislature and for
a number of years, has been Grand
Secretary Of the Independent Order
Of Odd Fellows of the State. In all
these places, he has acquitted himself
with credit and has demonstrated that
he is a man of marked individuality
and of far more than ordinary tai
ents. He is finished speaker and
possesses peculiarly those ornate
characteristics that a live, progress
sive town and a cultured citizenship
needs. Mr.. Doty is a man whose in
tegrity is unquestioned and whose
honor cannot be successfully assail-
ed, it would therefore seem to be q
matter about which there could be.
no controversy that he would, It
elected, make Grenada an acceptable
and satisfactory head of municipal
affairs.

Oil fields! Think Of what the

that have been made out of oil wells.

elsewhere; it is therefore no extrav-

GREAT INTEREST IN
REVIVAL SERVICES
byterian Church Are Greatly En-.
riching the Life of the Town-Able
and Powerful Sermons Are Being
Preached.

The revival services at the Presby-
terian church began, according to
previous announcement, on the night
of December 4, and have been ip
progress since. Weather conditions
interfered to no small degree with
the meeting the first of the week, yet
the church was well filled at night,
oftentimes it's seating capacity being
taxed.
Rev. w. H. Matthews, who is a
colaborer with DR.. Frank. E. Fincher,
was the first to reach Grenada and
did the preaching until Wednesday
when DR.. Fincher came. Mr.. Mat
thews is a soul-stirrer and believes
in the preaching of the Gospel and
in calling sinners to repentance. He
has made a fine impression on the
community and laid well the founda-
tions for DR.. Fincher when he reach
ed Grenada.
DR.. Fincher is scholarly man. He
is a good reasoner and would be in
teresting on the platform in any line
of activity. There is no lost mo-
tion about what he says; his dis
courses go right to the heart of
things. He knows how to lay bare
the awfulness of sin and the sweet
and blessed consolation of a regener-
ated and consecrated life. There
is beauty, pathos, sledge hammer log
ic, and the Pauline appeal about his
sermons that rivet the attention of his
hearers and that bring about an
awakening to the individual who is
trodding along life's highway without
thinking from whence he came or
whittier bound. The careless, the in
different and callous are being made
to awake and think about spiritual
matters and the Great Beyond by the
services. Unquestionably the religi-
Gus life of the whole community is
being greatly enriched by the luxury
of the gracious things of God that
are being so beautifully held up be-
fore men.

E. c. LAMB ASKS REELECTION.

The Sentinel is duly authorized to
place the name of Mr.. E. C. Lamb

self in the office of Treasurer, a
place to which he was chosen two
years ago. Mr.. Lamb is now we'll on
the shady side Of life and is one of
the remaining few who went forth
in 1861 to fight for the cause that
the South thought was just under
the Constitution as adopted in 1889.
He is quiet, unostentatious citi-
zen, one who has endeavored to live
at peace with his neighbors and to
enjoy the kindly relations with the
world generally. That all the af-
fairs of the Treasurer's office have
been correctly and properly handled,
goes without question, and it is fair
to say that if elected the same may
be said of Mr.. Lamb'c official con-
duct for another term.

ed by Mr.. H. B. Barbee, will offer
stock in the Charleston Oil & Gas
Company to the citizenship of this
community.
From what this paper knows and
has learned from observation, it feels
justified in saying that there will be
little trouble in disposing Of the
stock--if Grenada people don't buy
it, some body else will. See Mr.. Bar
bee and Mr.. Johnson and study the
matter for yourself.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH CON-
CRECATION
Goes Over the Top on Seventy Five
Million Dollar Allotment. New
Pastor Delighted With the Spirit
Of Cooperation,

The congregation of the First Bap
tist church of Grenada are felicitat
ing over having reached their quota
of $4,000 of the seventy five mil
lion dollar drive Of the Southern
Baptist church. Not only did the
First Baptist church raise its allot.
ment, but it overscribed it. Last
Sunday was epoch-making day of all
the many almost climax days in the
drive. The pastor, Rev. A. A. Stan
ley, reports most splendid coopera-
ton among the whole membership of
his church in doing this work that the
great leaders of his church have been
praying and working over for months.
Mr.. Stanley no doubt reached Gre
nada in the very niche of time for
his congregation and for this church.
Any great movement needs, indeed
must have, a leader, and there is no
one who is able to touch the heart
life, who is able to make people raise
their eyes and see things beyond their
immediate surroundings, like min
lister.
This church has done what has
been allotted to it to do. The fiat
among the leaders has been obeyed
and now the responsibility for wise
and proper handling of the funds and
this great Movement passes to 9TH
ers. There are some of the best,
most faithful and most consecrated
men and women in the First Baptist
church and hence it is little wonder
that they at once conceived it to be
their duty and privilege to carry out
the plans of those charged with the
responsibility of leadership. Consid-
ering the fact that Mr.. Stanley was
new man, practically stranger to
this church, the work he has so sue
cessfully lead is highly creditable to
his leadership. The first thing Mr.
Stanley did when he got to Grenada
was to preach and work and that he
has kept up and now that the drive
is over, naturally he should feel
free and easy.
