RAVID e. CRAWLEY ANNOUNCES
FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

The Sentinel is authorized to place
the name Of State Senator, now Cap
tain, David E. Crawley Of Alfalfa
county before the voters of this ju-
dicial district as a candidate for dis
trict attorney.
Captain Crawiey is a native Miss
issippian. When he graduated and
decided to enter the practice of law,
he opened an Office in his home town
and has made a most creditable re-
cord as a lawyer.
At the election Of 1915, he was
chosen a State Senator after q most
interesting contest. As a member
Of the State Senate, he was regarded
RS one of the strong and forceful
men in that body. He "a active
and gave his support to those meas
ures calculated for the progressive
interests of the State.
When the val came on, he enlisted
as a private but soon gained a Cap
tain's commission. He was sent over
seas and saw service in France for
about ten months.
Captain Crawley makes a good
speech. In fact he is credited with
having exceptionable o%ratorcal pow
ers, a Gift that always stands a pub
lie man we'll in hand.
With Captain Crawley's record as a
citizen. lawyer, legislator and as a
soldier, it is safe to say that he will
get an earnest and attentive hearing
from che voters Of the district. It is
also safe to say that should he be
elected that he will serve the district
faithfully and acceptably as a pros
ecuting officer.

WALTER w. GARNER DEAD.

Tell me, my soul, can this be
DEATH"
The mind fails to grasp the mean
ing that the big hearted. generous
and sympathetic Walter Garner has
passed to a big hemisphere. Life to
him meant entering the joys and sor-
lows Of others. His was the friendly
hand that was outstretched to clasp
that Of friends and ac%quaintances.
The deceased radiated sunshine, tho
sunshine Of pleasant words-the sun
shine that dispelled gloom along life's
rugged pathway.
Walter Garner was a man, a gen.
tleman, a Christian! A giant oak in
the forrest of splendid manhood ha2
fallen. The curtain of death has
been drawn upon a scene that a
we'll be called an Ideal Life. The
transformation from mortality to
immortality came quickly. The great
white soul of Walter Garner sped to
the Eternal City of God where it rests
in beautiful repose.
In the Cemetery of Grenada, under
a flower covered mound, the body of
w. w. Garner is at rest. Upon this
sacred spot will grow the white rose,
emblematical of purity, and splendor
of a departed life-a life that should
appeal to the youth and young man.
