ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO
PUSH PIG CLUB AND OTHER
MATTERS-POTATO CUR
ING PLANT ORGANIZED.
A BIG THING FOR
FARMERS. &

The meeting held at the Mayors
Office last Friday afternoon at the
instance of Farm Demonstrator o. F.
Turner, brought results. Right then
there was $1,000 raised to be given
in premiums in encouraging the
Pig Club and other activities now be-
ing pushed by the Demonstrator in
the county.
Besides this. the committe named
to visit points in Texas relative to
the Sweet Potato industry, and the
question of erecting Potato Curing
Plant in Grenada, was on hand and
made its report. So fattering was
the report, that cool, calculating bus
mess men decided to take hold of the
project and put it over. Accordingly
the stock was subscribed, which was
approximately $4,000. Later an or
ganization was effected with the fol-
lowing officers, and the enterprise
was christehed the Grenada County
Potato Curing Plant:
MIR. z. A. Penn was chosen presi-
dent, W. D, Salmon, vice-president
j. H. Brown. second vice-president
w. f. Penn. Secretary-treasurer. and
j. I. keeton, manager. The names
of these gentlemen behind any con.
Germ or business is a guarantee OF
good faith, and is an evidence that
they greatly believe in what they art
undertaking.
The process Of getting matters tt
going so as to insure the largest pos
sible area Of sweet potatoes in thi
territory, is under way. Contracts arr
being printed which will bind the Cur
ing Plant to give a certain price, ye
to be agreed upon, for sweet pota

to raise so many acres in sweet pota
toes.
The plant will mean more to tn

CITIZENS MEET AND
RAISE BOOSTING FUND
ROUTE FINALLY CONCEDED
TO GRENADA.

After much dickerins. side
stepping, backhring, ducking
and bIuffnR. the committee
that anointed itself with power
TO finally locate" the Jefer-
son Davis Highway. met in
Memphis Monday and decided
that the Grenada, March, 1916,
meet, was regular and in due
form, and that all was lovely
and that the route then and
there mapped out was the Off
cial route. So then the great
mooted question about a north
and south highway is settled
and the road of course touch
es Grenada. This is as it
should be; in fact, could hard
ly have been laid out else
where. "All roads lead to
Rome," so also all plans about
this great Highway led to Gre
NADIA. Thus Grenada is going
to be the junction point of two
great roads from the north,
just as she is the junction
point of two lines of railway.
Good. The neighhors and
good friends of Grenada who
naturally wanted the road and
had every right to struggle for
it, can tap the line, and will be
in better shape than If the
road had run as they hoped.

causes which make greater telephone

here. Each convict did a days work
and the hours we're set by the sun
in the summer, twelve to fourteen;
in the winter, ten. Any fair-minded
man should be convinced by even
hese few sections of the contract
that Mr.. Burleson knows how to en-
gineer successfully business deals of
considerable size. But objection may
be made that while he is capable of
planning major operations, he is in
capable of handling details.
To offset any such contention, ref
erence need only be made to Section
IA: "The parties of the second part
shall pay to the parties of the first
part the sum of twenty-five dollars
per month for the slops."
Frankly, there is no way at this
distance from Bosque and Hill
Counties to estimate whether or not
Mr.. Burleson got $25 month out of
this bargain, and it is presented
merely to show that his mind covers
the most minute details when he is
concerned with business. There is
no reason to believe that the profits
from the pigs and the stys was dis
proportionate with that from the
land and the convicts. While 1t is
impossible to render detailed ac-
counting of Mr.. Burleson's profits,
there Is available the statement Of
Captain" j. L. Brooks. who was in
charge of the convicts. and this
should satisfy any unbiased mind
that the State lived up to its bargain.
Here are few sentences taken at
random:

said: "These brains want to be wash

with me for a day or two I'll make

"All right. SIR" agreed our hero
"I'll come back for them at the end

He failed, however. to redeem his
promise and on receiving reminder
from tho medico, sent the following
