MRS. FANNIE S. WRIGHT
PASSES r OTHE BEYOND

Mrs. Fannie S. Wright died at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. M. G. Hal
rell, in Grenada last Sunday at a ripe
old age. Her remains were laid to
rest Monday in Springhill GENE
terry after funeral services by her
pastor, Rev. B. Quinn. Mrs. Wright
was truly a representative of the old
grandmother and mother. The sa-
cred precincts of the home was her
chief concern. She had endeavored
TO give her home and her household
her best thought and attention. She
was indeed good woman and her
daughter may well console herself
with the thought that she is now with
the redeemed of Isreal. The Sentinel
tenders coincidence.

DIED AT CAMP HUMPHREYS

Walter Scott Pressgrove, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Arnold M. Pressgrove
of Cascilla, died several days ago at
Camp Humphreys, Va, and his re-
mains were brought home and buried
at the Ashland church burying ground
on Tuesday of this week. Rev. J. D.
Rice conducted the funeral services.
The casket was wrapped in a United
States flag and the aged and honor
ed divine dwelt most feelingly and
touchingly upon the significance Of
the flag and paid beautiful tribute
to the life Of the desceased which was
given in service for his country.
Several from Grenada were present
at the burial

REV. w. L. CARSON A THE
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Rev. w. l.. Carson of Richmond,
Va, filled the pulpit at the Presby-
terian church last Sunday morning
and evening and has been in Grenada
all this week. He will again preach
morning and evening, Sunday next,
at the same church.
Mr.. Carson went into the army not
as a chaplain but as private and was
promoted to the rank of lieutenant.
Thus it may be said to his credit that
he did not attempt to avoid active mil
itary duty because of his ministerial
connection.
Those who had the opportunity to
hear Mr.. Carson Sunday speak in the
very highest terms of his discourses.
The writer heard his morning sermon
and was highly pleased. He is one of
those ministers that gives his congre-
cation his discourse in sections. He
gives you place to stick pin occa-
sionally thereby making it easier to
remember what he says.

JEFF DAVIS HIGHWAY
Meeting Called For Memphis
Delegates Named From

j Thomas, President of the Jeffer-
SON Davis Highway Association for
Mississippi gives out the following list
of delegates he has named from Miss
issippi, at the instigation of DR.. l.. M.
Norvell, President of this same AssO-
iation for Tennessee, to be present at
a meeting of this association which
has been called for Memphis, Febru-
ary q. 1t is we'll known that there
has been more substantial road build
ing in Mississippi during the last two
years, than perhaps, in the previous
20. The reading public, of course, is
aware of the great interest that has
been manifested in the jefferson Da-
Wis Highway. Naturally various To-
calities competed for the location OF
this. road. but there seemed to be but
one reasonable and natural route,
that is for the road to touch Grenada.
Fortunately this town and county has
been officially dsignated on this High
way. The appropriation made by the
Federal Government for permanent
road building in Mississippi makes it
all the more imperative that repre-
sentative number Of citizens attend
the Memphis meeting SO that wise and
judicious plans may be adopted to in
sure that each and every county

preparation. The following are the

SUGGESTS COOPERATIVE ROAD
WORK

Our public roads are now in a.
most impassable condition on account
Of the rains, not that the contractors
have failed to do their part, for they
have done exceedingly well it seems
with labor so hard to hire, so there
is no need for US to expect them to
build US road beds that will stand
the rigors of winter and the strain
of heavy hauling on what they are
now being paid, and l do not think it
is expected of them to do so. Our
county finances now it seems will not
justify in paying them more, and l
for one am not in favor of paying
them more when as l see It we can
by getting together, save ourselves
in many ways and have as good roads
in Grenada county as there is in the
state.
| would suggest that we all over
the county have one week to be
known zs Good Roads Week and every
person would be expected to go on
the roads for six days and haul sand,
sawdust or cinders free of charge
and cover our roads, while they are
muddy, then we will frave roads that
can be travelled any time Of the year
at almost no cost to any one. we
an devise some plan and work in
teams along as we did under an "Over
seer" and after we get our roads put
,up this way they will cost us less to
keep up as Il contractor can afford
to work them for less money as we
all know that sand - sawdust and GIN
Ners will hold Il road bed together.
We have some one of the above ma
terials all over the county that will
cost nothing. and in one week S time
the people of this great county can
cover all our most important roads
at no great cost to themselves and
none to the county.
We are now losing time enough
pulling through mud in going and
coming from our work every year to
10 this work many times, SO let's all
get stogether and stop pulling over
muddy roads ss it is a waste of time.
money and energy. for one went TO
Grenada Saturday and was on the
road ten hours: when if the roads had
beer in condition the time would not
: have been over two hOurs-a loss
of eight hours for one person in the
county. So. we can now see what
out roads are now costing US. and
will welonger stand for these losses
when they can so easily be adjusted,
and the people are all ready and Will
ing to help, 1 think.
Let us think this matter over and
all come together, for it is help
to every person in the county.

THE GRENADA FEED

The Sentinel had OCCASION q few
weeks ago to call attention 10 the
Grenada Feed & Milling Co.
The world is in such Il hurrying
nova days about most things and the
average individual reads so carelessly
that this paper is just bit afraid
that the town, the county and sur
rounding territory do not fully ap-
preciate what this splendid enterprise
is and how very much i: means 20 the
farmers and the business life OF this
section. 1t is doing business. you
may bet yur boots on that. And ITS
business is not confined to this locality
but is reaching all parts Of North
Mississippi. A hustler in the person
of Mr.. J. NJ. Brown is at the head OF
the business and those that know TINS
gentleman know that he shoots
straight at the spot, that there Is no
lost motion about him. AS be Is. so
is the business he is running.
The advertising this firm gets out
week after week IN these columns
should be read whether ones needs
ANYTHING in that line or not. Every
good citizen wishes every other man
well and by acquainting yourself with
what they manufacture and sell and
their prices, you can say something
to others about this growing concern

Thomas Case To Be Up Satur.
day. Some Other Matters.

The circuit court resumed its Ia.
oors on Monday afternoon. Several
minor cases were disposed Of among
them being the case against the
young white man, Caldwell, charged
with attempting to brain his STEP
father at Elliott with an AK. He was
fined $500. and the court held up the
payment Of one handred dollars of
the fine pending his good behavior.
The case Of the state VS. Arthur
James colored charged with the mur-
der of one of the late George Wash
lngtons, also colored, was taken up
Tuesday. The negro was without
counsel SO the court appointed Messrs
Arch Roane and Andrew Carotaers
to defend the accused. Mr.. Cowles
Horton was retained to assist the dis
trict attorney. The case was gone
into pretty thoroughly. The testi-
mony was concluded Wednesday at
ternoon and submitted to the jury
without argument. After about
thirty minutes deliberation that body
returned with a verdict Of not gull
ty. 1t seems to have been generally
understood that the dead negro was a
sort of bully. The verdict appears
to have met the approval of most
of those acquainted with all the in
terested parties.
A special venire was ordered to
try Ira Thomas returnable st 8
o'clock, February 6. The jury was
ordered Wednesday and owing TO the
fact that it was impossible for the
sheriff TO get returns on all before
Friday morning. and 20 the further
fact that after the returns are made.

Fertilizer.

In my opinion commercial fcrtlll-
ger plopery applied is one 70 the best
investments that farmer can make.
The sand hills of North Carolina
Gs well as the poor, worn out lands
of South. Carolina, Georgia, Alabama
have clearly proven this fact. The
experiment station at Holly Springs
which represents Grenada soil has
has made series of fertilizer tests
which prove beyond all doubt that
that phosphoric acid and nitrogen
applied in limited quantities is high
" profitable for all staple farm pro-
ducts. including cotton and corn.
They recommend 200 pounds of
acid phosphate and 100 pounds of
cotton seed meal. per acre for cotton
and 200 pounds each for corn.
We are going to make a cooper
ative purchase Of acid phosphate
within the next ten days. This will
enable farmers to get this fertilizer
car load lots at actual cost. If you
want to participate in this fertilizer
shipment please send in your order
at once.
Last Call for Potatoes
This is the last call for Irish pota-
toes,so get off the feEce and get in
the game. We want to make Grenada
the largest shipping point for Irish po-
tatoes in Mississippi, to do this all our
farmers will have to join in.
Potatoes will start us to work early
they will bring us money in June and
leave the land in a high state Of til

newspapers are fighting for these

The senior Senator professed to be
pleased with the defeat of the nom
partisan repeater for third class cities
in the House last night, although 1t
was his own friends who tried to put
the repeater through.
This looks like step toward
progress" he said.
He took the stand yesterday that
nonpartisan elections should be held
in all cities, towns and boroughs in
the State. Nevertheless Penrose men
in the House tried last night to re-
move the third class cities from the
list of municipalities which now OPP
crate under n nonpartisan act.
Independent leaders are much
pleased with the Senator's utterances
on the nonpartisan principle and
claim that a nonpartisan law for
Philadelphia would be q big benefit
to the independents there.
Justin Meets Senator
One of the first to see Senator
Penrose was former Senator Ernest
L. Tustin, who from time to time
has been mentioned as possible
candidate for the mayoralty in Phil
adelphia. Another early caller was
Auditor General Charles A Snyder.
The appearance of Senator PEN
rose on the Hill brought a host of
his Philadelphia followers here.
Most of them attended the hearing
on the Daix bills to increase the dis
trict attorneys force.
Among those active in the
Senator's behalf are Thomas w.
Cunningham, Select Councilman
Harry 7 Trainer ex-senator Ernest
l.. Tustn, Real Estate Assessor Oscar
Z. Noll, James Hearn. a former at
tache of the tax receivers office and
number of others.
The Senator said to-day that he in
tended leaving Harrisburg to-mor-
row. He will go to New York to
speak at a dinner Friday night and
expects to return here again next
week.
