w. v. MOORE FOR
STATE SENATOR

The Sentinel is authorized to place
the name of Mr.. w V. Moore of
Oakland, before the electorate of
this, the 2Sth Senatorial district, as
a candidate for State Senator -
Mr. Moore is really not announcing
himself. but it seems that his neigh
bors and friends are announcing him,
as will be seen by petition signed
by more than forty citizens of the
little town and vicinity of Oakland,
asking him to permit the use of his
name. This is Il thing that is rarely
done and is indeed high compliment
to Mr. Moore.
Mr.. Moore was born and reared
at Oakland. He is an educated man,
he is trained in law, IN business and in
the school Of eXperience'which should
give him an asset far above the aver
age man. He is capable, and the fact
that his neighbors and his friends,
those who know him best, testify to
his worth and 10 his fitness for the
important office of Senator from this
district. is indeed 3 fine tribute to
him.
Mr.. Moore is well known in Gre
NADIA county. as well as Yalobusha,
and will in due time no doubt see the
voters about his candidacy.
ed. ote:-The card above refer
red to from Nh Moore's friends 1T
Oakland will appear next week.

ed an overflow the like of which has

Great damage was done TO many

A number of bridges have been eth
or partially wrecked or washed away

t;mated that it will cost the county
perhaps S25.q00 to repair the roads
and trefx the bridges. ..
In the neighboring county of Tai
lahatchie, several ircn bridges were
swept away. The one on the Valley
road h.near Paynes, across Ascalmore
creek went down, and so did several
Others on this same stream.

BOYS WANT TO KNOW WHAT
CITY PARK IS FOR

Editor Sentilel:
We were amOAg party Of boys,
Just few of us, in the city park IN
the pubic square a few nights ago
about nine o'clock We were laugh
ing but not making any undue noise
when we were approached by assist
ant city marshal, Thompson, who
told us if we continued to create that
disturbance he would make out affi-
davit against us We asked him
some questions and he told us if we
didn't hush that he would take our
names and take US over to the May
ors office right then.
We thought the city park was a
sort of loungin9 place and we did not
know that the marshal or anybody
else had right to order anybody
out of there who was behaving de-
Gently. We boys would like to know
what the city park is for?

Y. Nj. c. A. Discussed BY Secretary
Godfrey.

About ten or a dozen citizens OF
Grenada We're invited to a lung neon
to be given at the Planters Hotel IN
Grenada on Friday evening at 30
o'clock of last week for the purpose
of hearing some plans discussed as
to Y. NJ c. A. work and to hear a
statement made as to the eXpeEdi-
ture of the funds collected in Mississ-
ippi for that organization.
The spread was ample andswell
prepared and splendidly served. IN
deed it is rare thing to sit down to
3 more delightful menu and it IS to
the credit of this popular holstery
that it is noted for duplicating what
was enjoyed that evening. The
company was congenial and alto
gcther those assembled seemed TO be
happy in each others presence.
Mr. Blake w. Godfrey. state Y
VI. c. A. secretary. was present aIfd
occupied the seat of honor at the ta-
Bile. When the supper was about
concluded Mr.. W. +. Hoffa arose and
in few fehcitous sentences presen-
ted Mr.. Godfrey.
Mr.. Godfrey goes directly, at what
he attempts TO say and altogether
makes pleasing as well as oonvinc-
ing talk. He reviewed at length the
history of y. NJ. {. A. work in Miss
isSippi since he came TO the state, but
the writer thinks he was rather un-
fortunate IN presenting what he
termed the financial needs of the \.
VI. {. 4. organization in Mississippi.
The writer did not know that de
mand was TO be made for money
that night and he believes that almost
all others who were present suffered
the same lack of information on
knowledge, and he was not alone in
predicament he found himself in.
Mr.. Godfrey set his mark at a $500
subscription from those present, hat
for reasons which the expected sub
Scribers no doubt deemed suficieot,
the aforesaid five hundred dollars
was not Forthcoming.
Whether those present were just
for the moment lacking in the spirit
of donating or whether they thought
the plans as outlined by Nh Godfrey
were too comprehensive and covered
too much territory. is only matter
for speculation. The fact that an
affirmative response was not made TO
Mr. Godfrey's appeal is not to be
construed as placing those present in
opposition TO the primary purposes
of the great y. NJ {. i. organization.
