His assignment alone, to the Evacua-

CONTEST OVER
STENOCRAPHER

The winter term of the circuit court
of Grenada county convened at the
court house in Grenada last Monday
morning with Judge T. l.. Lamb pre-
siding, this being Judge Lambs first
count since his induction into office.
January /. The Judge proceeded
with care and deliberation. After
a prayer by Rev r. A. Tucker Of the
Methodist church. the empannelling
of the grand jury was begun. Judge
Lamb made a clear and dignified
change to the grand jury. He was
emphatic and persuasive in all he
.said and was indeed complimentary to
the law enforcement spirit of the
county. He covered all the principal
crimes named in- the Code as well as
many of the less grave offenses.
District Attorney J. F. Allen was
on hand to look afted the interests
Of the state and to assist the grand
jury in any probes it might initiate.
There was a new court stenOgraph-
er, only recently named by Judge
Lamb, on hand the person of Mr..

LESPERDESA

Is lesperdesa a profitable crop in
= lec ada county? Some say no be-
cause it failed to get high enough to
cut last year If this one failure is
sufficient to condemn it, then how
about peas, corn and even cotton!
The growth of every plant is largely
controlled by the rainfall and as we
have no way Of knowing in advance
as to how much rain we will have
for the coming year we cannot tell
which crops will make the greatest
yield All farming inolves chance
because all crops fail at times
However, l feel sure that every
man in the County who will properly
consider the matter will agree that
Lesperdesa will hit about as often
as any crop that We can plant.
need not reason about the ferti-
lizing properties of this plant because
such is well known to everybody in
this county. But when we consider
that the roots alone contain $40 worth
of fertilizer and the plant will pro-
doce one ton of hay per acre on-a
10 year average we are bound to gipe
this plant consideration. Besides it
requires no cultivation andssis easy
TO harvest.
Lesperdesa seed like Irish pota-
toe seed are cheap this year because
everybody is planting cotton and that
is why we silould plant Lesperdesa
and potatoes. Ifsyou want seed, see
me; I'll help you find them.

Adent and chairman; w. B. William
