The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1919-07-25
THERE'S A. GREAT DAY COMING

In the early Spring we began the
discussion of making a big shipment
of, hogs from Grenada County in the
month Of September. Ia other words,
we organized tho September Pig Club.
Over 5000 hogs We're pledged for
this shipment end find that a great
many people are preparing 70 ship
who did not join the Club in the
Spring time. I.3st week two parties
came in and listed, one % and the
other 20, another two and still an
other listed four. | have no doubt
that w VIII get our full $500 hogs
fifty a loads.
Think of it Grenada County. our
County. doing something that no
other County in the Whole United
States of America ever did before,
"Breathes there q mar with soul so
dead who never to himself hath said.
Til = nv own. my native land@'
The thought, that our home and our
efforts are to be hc'C an rs the yard
stick Of progress and the nGle board
TO prosperity anh tha1 GREN \DA
COUNTY. MISSISSIPPI, is to float
in black headlines across the front
pages of our Great Oailies and
through the columns of industrial
troughout the land, should t:ngie the
pride and call forth the greatest eff
forts of all who have ever breathed
the sweet breath of patriotism The
article which YOU saw III Sundays
Commercial Appeal is but a mild sug-
gestion OF what we may expect when
the great event IS pu!l"l off.
Now men, the Ircam ~, born, the
plan was LAID. thu organization is
complete and the time for the charge
has come. Oar honor, our pride and
our wealth are all a. stake. W. must
go over the TOP and every true son
of the County should follow the flag.
We know there is profit in feeding
hogs because F. &. Cannon. of Grays-
port, cleared $2O4 III 66 days, ]. D.
Smith cleared $45O.7o in so days, j..
T. Mason cleared S476 in Sc days and
K. Mattingly bought feeder hogs from
l5c to 1Sc per pound, tankage at
$500 per sack and corn at $2.1O per
bushel and after hiring all the work
uO0S I1due a ClcdI pIOIiI VI poOO'oO
per month for three months in sue
cession. Yes, we know that feeding
hogs is profitable, because it has been
proven from Carroll to Yalobusha,
from the hills of Calhoun to the banks
of the Talahatchie. Then, if it is pro-
fitable. those who engage in the en-
~teprprise have all to gain and nothing
TO loose. Every man in the County
should have some hogs in this ship
ment. If you have not already joined
with us put your hogs on feed and
drop us a line.
The British navy once engaged IN
terrific battle. When the issue was
much in doubt, Lord Nelson, standing
on the shell-torn deck Of his flagship, ?
shouted down the battle line, eng
land expects every man to do his
duty" and Britain's supremacy CT the
sea was fixed for 200 years There is
70 time for argument now. 1t matters
not how much we may differ OIL other
things. we need concerted ard con-
golidated action here. Grenada COun-
ty il going on parade and tie eyes OF
the country are watching us. T. is not
: question of WILL WE MAKE A
SHOWING; but, WHAT KIND of a
showing will we make and every cit
izen Of the County must answer this
for himself. Where do You stand, MIR.
Merchant, Farmer, Banker, Lawyer,
Minister, Barber, and every other cit
izen Of the County. Let us line up and
hook up and every fellow pnt his
shoulder to the wheel and We will
make GRENADA stand out above the
other counties of the South like the
North Star before the wandering
ships at sea. o. F. TURNER.
