Bernstor8 Is Given
Unusual Privilege

Berlin Oct. 1.-THE cabinet has
given Count Johann Heinrich Won
Bernstein. former Ambassador to the
United States. permission to avail
himself Of the German foreign ONCE
records, especially his dispatches
from Washington. in writing his book
which promises to be one Of the most
interesting contributions to the history
Of the war.
The permission thus granted Is un-
usual for the German government. and
1t is due to the fact that Bernstorff
left all his records in the German En-

parted. g

POTATO RAISING

COMMITTEE VISITS POTATO
RAISING SECTIONS AND MADE
OPTIMISTIC REPORT. A $4,000.
POTATO HOUSE TO BE BUILT.

Grenada and Grenada county have
become much interested jn raising
sweet potatoes 1t has b,et.eitmop-
strated that this crop can be made
a big money crop and that the pota-
toes can be housed and sold along
after Christmas. or even before. at
fancy prices
Plans have been under discussion
for sometime to erect n plant for the
curing of sweet potatoes. Last week
Messrs. E A Penn and J. T. keeton
went as a committee to south Miss
issippi and from there to the sweet
potato district of Tennessee for the
purpose of inspecting the potato
houses and to ascertain what success
these people were having. These
gentlemen brought back such crafty
ing reports that at a business meet
ing held last Saturday night in the
Mayors Office, it was determined to
build a potato house to cost about
$4,000 which it is believed will accom-
odate this locality at least for the
next season. The money will be put
up by three or four men if there are
no others who want to join in the en-
terprise, but it is hoped that the
hackers will be general so as to make
it everybody's affair
1t is the opinion of the gentlemen
who made the inspection tour that
there is more money in sweet pota-
toes than there is in cotton.

The residence Of MIR. A. F. Bailey

But little of the furniture was saved.
The fire is supposed to have started
from an ironing board which was

it was placed in the closet. tn :
flames were well under way when the
fire was first seen.
There was no insurance. Mr..

AUTO RUNS INTO BUGGY.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barbee Sustain Some
Very Serious Injuries.

Mr.. H. B. Barbee and wife sustain
ed some very serious injuries Tues
day afternoon in an automobile ac-
cident about two miles west of Gre
NADIA on the new road. They were
returning 20 town in their buggy when
they were overtaken by Mr.. Ham,
monds Of near Holcomb in his car.
Evidently he lost control of the car.
1t ran into he rear of the buggy Oc-
cupied by Mr. and Mrs. Barbee and
threw them down an embankment
some ten or fifteen feet high. OF
course there was a crash up of the
buggy. At first it was thought Mr..
Barbee's back was broken but later
it was found to be a very severe
wrench Mrs Barbee sustained a
broken wrist and other painful in
juries. 1t appears fortunate indeed
that they got away with their lives.
Mr.. A. T. McElwrath and Mr. l.. r.
Hayden chanced to be coming in from
HOlcomb in car and were near
enough to partially see the ear run
into the buggy. Every possible aid
was extended the two unfortunate
couple and at this writing they ap-
pear TO be getting along satisfactori-
ly.
Mr. Hammonds is one of the coun
tvs best citizens and greatly de-
ploreS the accident.

The argument that hogs were rals-
ed in Grenada last year and there was
no epidemic, no serious sickness, and
that therefore hogs pens cannot be
unhealthy, is not even sorry moon

that because, foorsoth, that the sol

was not killed, therefore there Is no
danger today. The one time too

RUNS AWAY WITH

HUSBAND DROPS IN BUT WIFE
SAYS NO. WIFE FILCHER AND
WIFE FINED. TWO MEN
PLEASED.

Saturday morning OF last wees by
her husband at the tce9. cf, TIA" staif-
way in 2 home IN Grenada where the
aforesaid wife and her lately ac-
quired had rented rooms. There was
not moch con1roriOn or much ado be-
tween The husband and the wife who
had evidently tired OF him and
though1 that another edition of the
male population would suit her bet
ter The inquiring husband had al
ready visited his honor, Mayor Brown
and Marshal Mcleod. The man in
the case was at work at one of the
garages in Grenada. His name is
S. A. Houmes: the husband that was
minus a wife gave his name Z. VI.
Nelson They gave their home as
being at Hooper and Rankin, Illinois.
In due time the interested parties
were before the Mayor. Side chats
and conferences were held between
the traunt and the complaining hus-
band in which the filching husband
participated. Attemps at reconcile
ment seemed futile. The wife said
she would not return with her hus-
band, that he did not fill the bill and
that she wanted the new man. After
various parleys and preliminaries.
the court proceeded to place small
fine on the husband who had taken
from his neighbor his spouse. The
fine would have been heavier but for
the fact that the Mayor knew that
the man had couple of his children
with him. There were said to be
several more at home The Mayor
thought it best to so adjust the penal
ties of his court as not to leave the
unfortunate little children a charge
on the community. After the court
proceedings were over, the trio walk
ed away together and were at tent
show in town that night. They were
all still here Monday and apparently
things were running smoothly among
them.
The two men came to this Office
Tuesday and asked that no mention
be made Of the affair as they had
made everything satisfactory and that
they were going to go away from
here and open up joint business.
They seem to think that one wife was
enough for both of them.
The next day their landlord sought
the Mayor in order to get relief from
his tenants and as a result the woman
got herself fined 500. with orders
to leave town within twenty fours.
They were away in that time. The
two men said as to adjusting their
differences that their aimable rela-
tions showed how they did things in
Illinois.
