ONE POLICE STATION IDLE
No Arrests, No Serious Accidents at
BeIurade and Ciearfield

Not a single arrest; no serious acci-
dents from fireworks and not fire Of
any consequence made yesterday the
most remarkable Fourth of July House
Sergeant Charles Wolfe, veteran police
man. of the Clearfeld and Belgrade
streets station, ever witnessed
"In thirty five years experience here
have never seen anything like it,"
said Sergeant Wolfe today. Il be-
lieve the quiet and saneness OF the
occasion was due to the closing of the
saloons. Intoxicants had more to do
with accidents than any other factor,
in my opinion
Sergeant Wolfe's district is one OF
the largest in the city, covering the
river front and taking in the Twenty =
fifth and Forty fifth wards.

TAKEN FOR FATHERS

The Sentiel dislikes to tell secrets
on its friends, yet there are some
important happenings that the good
newspaper feels it cannot afford to
conceal from the public. Just what
it has in mind now is that only few
days ago two of Grenada COunty's
best and most deserving young men
were made inquiries of by strangers
one was asked about his daughter,
his youngest but married sister, and
the other was told that he knew your
son at the A & M. College" The
two gentlemen referred to are Messrs
l.. J. Doak and H. NJ Parker of
Graysport. These young men at
tempted to manifest surprise, indeed
astonishment, that their appearance
should be so deceptive but this paper
hopes they will learn that time is
telling on them and that if hey have
any negotiations pending with Cupid
that they had best hurry consul
nation, and if there are none pend
ing, they had best entrust their case
to some competent matchmaker or
a good looking widow.

BAKER COMPLAINS
ABOUT COMPRESS
Thinks With That Out of Way Del
tn Prices Could BE Got.

Edito.' Sentinel:- | have been watch
ING conditions in and around Grenada
for years grew up to love the
town and as the years pass that
love increases, yet ] see some things
today that / used to either fail or
refuse 10 see, I am not saying which
just here.
Particularly do ] refer in this
article TO the price beng paid Tor
cotton in Grenada. j know all sorts
Of argument has been offered to show
the uninformed that Grenada was
paying the top of the market, yet
the fact stands out that she is not,
nor has the town paid the top of the
market for years. ] dislike to say
that this is true, but facts are facts.
l note, Mr. Editor, what you and
some oilers as committee published
i'm the Sentinel last week about cot
ton and cotton seed prices. ] have
reached the conclusion that the Gren-
ada Compress is the one thing, above
all others, that stands in the way
of getting Grenada delta prices for
her cotton-they say delta prices
are higher" II what is contended
be true. then it were better for Gren-
ada and for the farmers OF the County
that the Compress were not here. If
the Compress were not here, and it
be fact that cotton which is shipped
out Of Greenwood stands higher with
the Cotton mills than cotton which
is shipped ut of Grenada, then cot
ton could be ''fioated" into Green
wood from Grenada and sold on a
parity with Greenwood and other
delta cotton. 1t follows that if Char
lesion can float" her cotton into
Greenwood and get delta prices"
so could Grenada under like circum-
stances. As ! understand, there is a
sort of wheel in a wheep' between
the railroads and the congresses
which will not allow cotton "fioated''
from one compress to another; this
rule or agreement shuts Grenada in
to the Grenada compress and out Of
or away from delta congresses.
What about this Mr. Compress owners
and Mr.. far-seeing citizen Of Gren-
ada? 1t is time that something be
done about q condition that he's been
pulling our dear old town dow for
years.
Another thing: know that some
cotton was carried 20 the little VII
of Hoicomb from near Grv74aca ON
Oct p 1t was King, or short cotton.
The cotton sold for 4Cc per pound
and the cotton seed was bought. as
understand, by the buyer fl. the
Grenada OIL Mil for s8200 per tor,
yet the Grenada Oil Mil wasd rot
giving that much in Grenada where
no freight had to De paid / say again
that something needs to be done.
Very truly yours. W r. Baker.

HON. JEFF BUSBY.
OF Houston, Miss, will be Candidate
for Congress.

TO THE PEOPLE OF GRENADA
COUNTY:
While it is a little early to make
my formal announcement, / wish to
say that will be a Candidate for
coming August Primaries.
/ made the race for this office two
years ago. Although / did not receive
the nomination., the splendid vote
given me throught the District was
gratifying to my friends. Especially
was this true of my home (Chick-
asaw) County, where | received 9O4
votes to 555 for our present Con-
gresham. He carried his home
montgomery County by only 2O9
majority.
Then too, / made many acquaint-
ance and friends throughout the
District, who since my home people
have SO overwhelmingly expressed
their confidence in me, will enter this
race with me from the beginning.
Many changes have come since
then. The war is over; our Con-
gressmen have passed to the min
ority side of the Appropriation Com
mittee by the success of the Repub-
licans; local political bosses..have lost
much of their power, and the people
will vote for themselves. There is
no stream" to cross, and it looks
really as if the time has come to
"swap horses"
l expect to enter the Campaign
EARLY and carry it to every part Of
| the District, and dicuss the issues
/ to the people. In the meantime any
kindness or suggestion from my
friends will be appreciated.
Your friend,
JEFF BUSBY.

HOW TO NOMINATE A WOMAN

a woman who, by the very character
of her daily service, her standard OF
integrity and her adherence of al
that is evil, deserves well at your
hands when you march to the ballot
to 6xcerise your sovereign right
A woman whose consideration OF
others is truly sublime. A woman
who never yet asked a man to open
fruit jar (applause) a woman who
comedies latch key to be the right
full property and possession of the
husband (Cries of Hear! Hear) a
woman who scorns bread pudding as
beneath the commest family Cloud
family by mentioning the furnace
turbed the peace and quiet Of the
shouts); woman who has never dis

woman to be sure, but not offensive
ly modern-who buttons her own
gowns (Cries of Name Her! Name
Herb; woman whose tendency to-
ward trading stamps and coupons as
sures careful safeguard of public
funds and who would She is as
deaf to the cry of a. baby as she
is to the persuasions of the bribe-
giver. She is ready to tell you In
language good and strong about the
mistakes in the Creation of Human
ity wherein woman was told to be
obedient unto man and where man
was told to look upon woman as the
beautiful and tender plant worthy of
his love and affection. She is loud
on organizing and outward activi-
ties for woman but short on house
keeping and those domestic virtues
which the world has long revered.
She is as sour as vinegar, as OBJ.
noxious in many ways as krout, her
nose is not much longer than her
tongue she is a beauty.-aside
from that and is bound to get her

plause. Nominated by acclamation.
