After last day of busy preparation, every thing is ready for the opening of the Arizona Cotton Carnival. Exhibits are ready, the carni- val show is already under way, and the town is decorated on every hand to honor King Kot- ton Mesa is ready to receive thousands of visi- tors and entertain them royalty.
 With the opening of the Southwestern Cot ton Congress in Vance Auditorium this morning at 10 o'clock, the Carnival will be officially under way At this session, the Congress will be opened by the presentation of the keys of the city by Mayor Kleinman of Mesa Judge G. w.

MR. =. c. IRBY ANNOUNCES
FOR ASSESSOR

The Sentinel is commissioned TO
place the name Of Mr.. j. c. hby be-
fore the voters Of Grenada county as
& candidate for the Office Of Tax
Assessor.
Mr.. Irby was reared near Grenada
and is one OF those unobstrusive
characters that has tried to earn a
livelihood by persistent endeavor and
honest egort He has farmed
or less for years and at times has
engaged in small way in the mer-
camille business, but suffice it to say
he has had that business training and
experience that should qualify him
for the office, and if elected he could
be relied on to give his best talentand
to maintain the standards already set
in Grenada county for this impor-
tant trust.
MIR. Irby will no doubt prosecute a
vigorous campaign and make an eff
fort to see every voter in the
county. The Sentinel feels sure
that his claims will be carefully
weighed by the electorate of the
County.

TO THE VOTERS OF
DISTRICT FIVE

No man has a right to ask for any
public trust without the frankest and
most candid dealing with those he is
seeking to serve, hence am taking
this opportunity to say through the
public press few words touching the
Office of supervisor and matters that
] possibly may not think Of, or be
able to do when see you in person
as hope to do before the primaries
are held.
1t has been one of the cardinal
rules of my life to be open and out
spoken. do not think that there
are many who will say that it has
ever been difficult to place me on
any pubic issue or any matter per-
tanning to the welfare of my con-
rnanity. BY taIs I do not mean 70

all in my power to guard the inter-
ests of the taxpayers and to see that

of those things which the best in

dorse. The greatest good with the
least expenditure of money is what
we need in a supervisor. The mar
row man is not needed in anything
and especially is this true in super
visor. He should have painstak-
ing mind and be able to weigh with
care and caution every matter pre-
sented. Should the people of my dis
trict honor me, promise to be faith
full and to give the best se>ice that

r. ]. CURRY DIED AT HOLCOMB

In the death of Mr.. T. j. Curry
which occurred at Holcomb on Thurs
day morning of this week, there pass
ed away an honest, upright man
good and worthy citizen and a Christ
ian gentleman The end was no sur
prise He had been in a low state Of
health for more than half dozen
years and for perhaps two years, he
rarely got beyond the confines of his
own home. But he was ready for the
summons. He began to put his house
in order in the early days of his
youth and he had kept in the narrow
path. He had long been a member of
the Methodist church and up until
he became sick man, he was care
full to attend upon the ordinances
of the church and to religiously at
tend to those duties that devolved on
layman. He was true to his friends
and just and correct in all his rela-
tions.
Mr.. Curry was born in the vicinity
Of Pea Ridge, this county and was a.
bout so years of age. He was never
married. He leave three brothers and
two sisters besides other relatives to
mourn his death.

Of course Grenada county wants a
part in this noble, patriotic and en-
during structure. OF course we
would feel humiliated to see this
structure go up and the names OF
Grenada county sons not be placed IN
it. We would feel like hanging our
heads almost in shame, certainly IN
reproach and regret. Our boys are
just as dear to US as the boys of any
other county or state. In many re-
spects it seems to me, we owe
special obligation in the matter OF
some memorial for the reason that SO
few of the sons Of Grenada county
made the supreme sacrifice.
If there were several hundred
Grenada county sons now sleeping
under the sod in France, why, there
would be little trouble in raising al

HOFFA URGES
CONCRETE ROAD
BUILDING
EDITOR SENTINEL: !:

The impatient mutteringS of the
people at the delay of our County in
getting into the universal stride,
looking to the construction of hard
surface roads, are heard on every
side. After the last six months Of
almost impossible and impossible mud
it has been clearly demonstrated that
hardsurfaced roads are the only ones
that can be depended on for the
transportation of farm produce and
supplies. 1t is imperatively neces-
sary that Grenada county begin con-
struction of hard-surface roads, run
ming from the Montgomery County
line, thence through Grenada to
Torrance on the Jeg Davis Highway
and from Grenada, north, or the
Memphis road to the 4alobusha
County line. AS the road from the
Montgomery County line on the south
to the Yalobusha county line on the
North has been selected as the route
for the Government Motor Truck SER
vice through this section, it is alb
solutely essential that this road be
constructed of concrete, as con-
crete is the only road material in
this country which will stand up un-
der the terrific wear and tear" OF
motor trucks. i would suggest that
that road be built eighteen feet wide,
as the traffic conditions will require
a road Of this width to make it safe.
Anothr vitally Important, hard
surface road should begin at the
Tallahatchie County line, about four
miles East of Phillip, (where l have
been assured that the people of Tai
lahatchie will meet us with stand
ard road), and running in an east
erly direction to Oxberry, Holcomb,
Dubard, Grenada, and thence East to
the Calhoun County line,-giving
connection and accommodation to the
great travel demands that will be
made upon road leading from the

TWO BOYS

The boy in khaki coming home
From the battlefield afar!
The whole, wide world respects our
boy,
How proud of him we are,
He fought valiant fight--and won,
For principles of right,
And now he's marching back again
So young, and brave and bright.
All homage render unto him,
Well cheer, and cheer, and cheer,
But midst the martial music strains
Comes a recollection dear.
Again | see a tattered boy
Come marching down the street,
A-weary, footsore, gaunt and pale,
Still proud-e'en in defeat.
No martial music rang for him,
No drum inspired his feet,
But that return was just as dear
Again / see tattered boy
That welcome just as sweet,
'Tis years, and years and years ago,
Since these things chanced to be,
And every year I've loved him more,
He's still "boy" to me.
No golden glints are in my hair,
My violet eyes are dim;
But his dear eyes, can see no change
I'm Sweetheart" still to him.
So while you greet your "khaki boy
Returning blithe and gay
Nv boart UOoS hack in memory fond
To my ''boy who wore the gray"

The above uain roads together with

number of men from each county,

Jackson expects to start its drive

Vicksburg has already raised llber-

would be upon the boys who did not
come back and our hearts would
bleed and our purses would open.
But kind and merciful Providence
spared most Of our boys, we are
therefore in a better position fnan-
cially TO do the part that has been al
loted US in this Drive. A few of our
sons are now sleeping beneath the
poppies in Flanders field. They died
a soldiers death and for their sake
yve should Go the part of a soldiers
father and of a soldiers mother.
Some may say that it is toe early
TO build Memorials. 1t is never too
early to do the right thing, to do the
thing that we think in time we will
do. The fart is, the lcnger we put
Off duty the less we seem able TO
be able TO do what our hearts tell
as that we should do. How manN
in Grenada county have thought for
months and for years that you would
erect marble over the graves of
your father and of your mother, or
over the grave of some other loved
one who has passed over the river
and now resting under the shades OF
the trees, and how many who have
thus deferred about this important
matter have found themselves putting
off year by year?
We know that in most cases
waited to erect monuments to the
! Confederate soldier until these brave
and honored men had left US and had
been numbered with the dead. How
1t would have done their souls good
and how deeply appreciative would
they have been had these monuments
which now can be seen in almost ev
cry county erected while they were
vet alive. So let us not talk OF defer
ring for our boys who are with US
now. Let US ponder over the thought
that in the days to come, this Mem
orial will tend to point them back
ward to father and mother and the
sacrifices made for them WHICH shall
aid in making them purer in heart
and mind and possessed of that high
and noble endeayor that is pleasing
TO God and that shallhelp them work
out the purpose of their creation and
IN the end, when life's fitful fever
shall be over, lie down attended by
the angels %ho shall act as a con-
! sort for their spirits to that beauti-
ful home where we hope we shall be
waiting.
So let's not quibble. The plea has
been made, the order haqs been given
and it will not do for Grenada coun--
" not to come up in this noble work
which we ali admit should be done
and will be done some day. If not
now. Then let US not wait; if it
should be done. NOW is the time.
, Will you not give me your aid and
your cooperation?
Solicitors will wait upon you IN a
few days. Everybody will be asked.
. The payments will be in four Install
ments, the last one in November of
this year. Cards will be presented
YOU and you want your sons name
or your neighbor's sons name or your
brothers name in this Memorial. l
know you edo not want anybody's
name left off, so do your part seeing
that every name goes on. The drive
started yesterday, June 26, and Will
close July 5th.
The Memorial Drive has been en-
dorsed by Senator Harrison, Will
