Funds Raised For Cemetery.

According to announcement in
these columns last week, a represent
ative number of the ladies Of Gre
NADIA went out on a drive Monday for
funds for the care of Odd Fellows
Cemetery. Over $1,000 was secured
in a few hours and there are quite
a number yet to be seen. Outside OF
those who are immediate residents OF
Grenada, there are no doubt great
many who have moved away from
here but have loved ones sleeping in
that sacred spot who will be glad to
contribute. There is great deal OF
work to be done at the Cemetery.
If the Odd Fellows fail or refuse to
fix the fence so as to protect the
grounds against stock, some OF the
money will no doubt be used for that
The ladies are again to be con-
e-ratulated. They are almost fore
most and untiring in every good
work. This paper never had any
doubt what Grenada would do in this
matter when the facts were made
known to them.

COMMENDS HEALTH WORK
BEING DONE IN COUNTY

Editor Sentinel
Please allow me space to say what
I believe is in the heart OF everyone
in the County who has taken the time
to think and observe the health work
being done in the County.
One of the most potent factors in
the future development of Grenada
County both from a economic con-
sideration and from the standpoint OF
the happiness and welfare of its citi-
zens is the organized health work
which is now being done under the
direction of the State Board or
Health.
DR.. P. G. Pope, who is in charge
of the work. reports that he is re-
ceiying splendid cooperation from the
people of Grenada and Grenada
County and his efforts are thereby
greatly facilitated. Up to the pres
ent time more than fifteen hundred
school children have been examined
for physical defects, and medical at
teton and treatment to the amount
of s15OO.0O has been given without
charge to charity patients. Dr.. Pope
is ably assisted by Miss Bonnie Bess
Tillman who is in charge of Child
Welfare Work among the children OF
pre-school age, and by Miss Cham
berlain who is Office assistant and MI
croscopist.
The Grenada County Chapter,
American Red Cross, is actively CO.
operating in the work and has en-
ployed Mrs. A. K. Tigrett, an expert
in Community Nursing and Child Wei
fare Work, who is doing field work
in the County and who is also IN
charge of the Red Cross clinic To-
Gated in the Heath Building in Gre
NADIA.
If the citizens of Grenada County
will make the most of the opportuni-
ty which they now enjoy, Grenada
County can be made the most health
full County in the State Of Missis-
sippi.

COMMANDER BOOTH
TO VISIT BIRMINGHAM
Commanding Officer Salvation Army
Will Speak on the Work of
the Army.


Birmingham, Ala, March 20, (Spe-
ciaD Miss Evangeline Booth, Com
mander of the forces of the Saliva
ton Army in the United tSates, will
speak at Birmingham in the Jeffer-
son Treatre on April 49,
This is the first visit of this won
derful woman to the South in many
years and she will find that the work
of the Salvation Army has grown
marvelously since her last visit here,
both in Birmingham and in the Gulf
Division, of which Birmingham is di-
visional headquarters.
Although the subject of her address
has not yet been announced, she is
known as a most effective speaker,
and there is no question that this au-
ditorium, one of the largest in the
city, will be filled to capacity on this
occasion.
She will be accompanied by sever
al members of her headquarters staff
and while in the city will be the guest
of Major and Mrs. David Main, the
divisional officers of the Gulf Divls-
ion.
The officers of the Gulf Division,
embracing the states of Mississippi,
Alabama, West Florida, East Louis
lana and several counties in Georgia
and Tennessee, have been called to
meet the Commander here, an offi-
GERS council being scheduled for the
goth. There are about twenty-five
Salvation Army corps" located in
this division, each of which has one
or more local officers in charge of
the relief, rescue and religious work
in these cities.
Her coming at this time has lent
added interest because of the forth
coming Salvation Army Home Service
Fund appeal, which will be held the
country over May 10 to 20.
Ex-Gov. Earl Brewer, who is chair
man of the Gulf Division in this
campaign, has been invited to be
present at the meeting. Mr.. Brewer
has headed two previous campaigns
for the Salvation Army and is thor
ough believer in the work that this
organization is doing.

PRELIMINARY REVIVAL
SERVICES
Pastor Methodist Church Delivering
Initial Sermons.

Rev. w. W. Woodland, pastor of
the Methodist Church, began last Sum
day night what may be termed the
preliminary services to the revival
which is. to begin in earnest at his
church next Sunday. The services
this week have been held only at
night and in the Sunday School audi
torium of the Church. 1t would seem
that this able, Jealous and earnest
pastor has been endeavoring to lay
on the hearts of his people what is
needed in the world, and particularly
the Methodist Church of Grenada, at
this time. His sermons have been
appropriate, carefully and forcefully
delivered and have evinced deep
seriousness upon his part in the great
work of soul winning.
Rev. C. T. Floyd of Byhalia came
the middle of this week to lead in
the singing. Altogether it may be
taken for granted that Grenada will
have an opportunity to hear all next
week, both morning and evening, the
presentation Of the Gospel of Christ
in simplicity, strength and beauty
that can but be helpful to the entire
community.

THE FARMERS UNION
HOLDS CONVENTION
Seventeen Counties Represented
Officers Elected-Vote of Thanks
to Press for Courtesies

The Farmers Union of Mississippi
met Tuesday in annual convention in
Jackson with delegates from seven
teen counties present. 1t was de-
cidedly working convention and a
! fine spirit of harmony and earnest
ness prevailed
State President N. A. Mott pre-
sided and Mr.. G. w. Russell was
elected temporary secretary as the
State Secretary, Miss Emma Smith,
was unavoidably absent.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year:
President, N. A. Mott.
Vice-President, II. w. Bradshaw.
Sec.- Treas, Miss Emma Smith
Chaplain, ]. c. Collins.
State Organizer, S. Joe Owen.
Executive Committee, M. L. Wells.
Chairman, H. B. Leach.
Secretary, E. E. Arnold, B. Nell
Randell, and T. N. Gray.
The annual dues were fixed at 81,
payable in advance, one of which
should be remitted to the State Treas
urer, Miss Emma Smith, West Jack
son, Miss All Locals are urged to
end the State dues to the State Sec
retary as soon as possible SO that
the work of the Union can be pushed
with greater zeal and efficiency.
The State Organizer, Hon. S. Joe
Owen, will gladly assist any County
or Local who desires his services.
The County or Local will be expected
to pay Bro. Owens expenses, which
is reasonable and right, as there is
no expense fund available for organ
izers.
A great deal of enthusiasm was
manifested and it was determined by
those present to make this a great
year in the history of the Farmers
Union of Mississippi and to make
membership in the Union worth while
by pushing the work Of cooperation,
education and rural development.
A pleasing incident was the presen-
tation to the convention of a gavel
made by Mr. M. L. Wells, of New
Albany. 1t was hand carved out of
black walnut. Mr. Wells was given
rising vote of thanks for his gift,
and the sympathy of the convention
was rendered him on the illness OF
his wife.
The press was given rising vote
of thanks for the many favors and
courtesies extended to the Farmers
Union of the State.

Mattingly Chosen Supervisor.

In the special election held last
Saturday to elect supervisor to sue
ceed L. B. Yeager, deceased, there
were two candidates, Silas D. Ray
burn and Kemp Mattingly. Mr.. Mat
tingly won by about vote of to l..
Mattingly's vote slightly exceeded
26O while Rayburn's only slightly ex-
ceeded 60. The Sentinel congratu-
lates the winner and hopes that he
will make the best member of the
board this district ever had. Mr..
Mattingly is active and can be relied
upon to take an active and aggressive
stand on the matter of good roads
and seeing that the roads are proper
ly worked.

his pay roll $50 hands, consisting of
$50 men, twenty-five girls, and sew

for last year was 100000"
The Sheboygan Daily Journal of
Sunday, March 1S, looked upon the
article as one of the ramifications
of the Chicago Tribune's policy of
free trade of the time, referring to
the matter editorially as follows:
Denounces Tribune.
"ln the effort to convert its read
ers to the free trade idea, the Chi
cago Tribune investigated the chair
making industry Of Sheboygan and
endeavors to prove that these fac
tories are making enormous profits
as a result of the protection system.
1T the Tribune can prove that the
prosperity of the Sheboygan Manu-
featuring Company and the Phoenix
Chair Company is due to the small
duty levied upon the Vienna chairs,
every true patriot would favor the
system as a blessing to the nation.
while the article endeavors to
show that the people of Sheboygan
have derived great advantage from
the tariff, it neglects to state that
numerous articles used for the man
ufacture of the chairs, notably the
gum necessary for varnish, which is
obtained in Zanzibar and Australia
is subject to heavy duty.

ditions of the Sheboygan workmen

a manufacturer, he can establish an
other chair factory in Sheboygan, as
there is room for several more estab-
lishments of the kind in the city"

Miss LYNNE Dunavant, skilled
trained nurse, is in the employ of
DIR. J.. S. Sharp at his Office. And as
a woman always does, her delicate
touch and trained mind shows itself
in everything about the Doctors Of
fee. Miss Dunavant is on hand to
assist the Doctor in any surgical op-
GRAFTON and to make blood tests as
well as to do many other things that
the lay mind cannot comprehend
about the medical profession. DR..
Sharp was compelled to have some
skilled aid and his friends think he
acted wisely in getting this splendily
equipped young woman to do those
things that only training and expert
ence qualify any one to do.

AN OLD CITIZEN WRITES
FROM OUT IN THE WEST
Edited Locomotive" In Grenada Be-
fore Civil War.
Denver, Colo,
Feb. 10, 1920.


Editor of The Sentinel,
Turning back the pages of mem
ory recall the time of my residence
in Grenada 60 years ago. In 1853
and 60 / was proprietor Of the Loco
motive previous to which time Mr..
w. G. Williams was the publisher.
l remember the principal hotel was
located on the first corner of the pub
lie square coming from the old depot.
And on the opposite corner on same
there stood a long frame building
in which Mr.. league operated a
saloon. The City adopted an ordi-
nance fixing the price of an annual
saloon license at 100000. The sa-
loon became a popular resort and
through it's rear entrance which was
called "hole in the wall' occasional
ly found a deacon of the Church.
Gibbs Spring, a mile or two from
town, was a popular resort for the
young ladies and gentlemen who prid-
ed in the sport of ten pin ball.
Theatrical plays also were patron
lied and when the author of the
song of "Ben Holt" appeared to sing
that fine old song, and accompanying
it on his violin he was greeted by a
large crowd and great applause.
And among my old friends were
the genial and popular Bob Ingram,
Pet Willis, Col. Townsend, Will
Smith, and many sweet and lovely
girls of that happy period. Where
all the world was young and not
care came to ones mind.
On the pages of the Locomotive
appeared the ads of the firms OF In
gram & Ladd, DR.. Gage, druggist,
among the many.
In April 1861 / entered the Con-
federate Camps and at the close OF
the War, 1865, went North and re-
sumed my old labors as publisher OF
a weekly newspaper. And am now
visiting among my cousins in a sun
nv cline of Colorado and waiting for
the end to join the veterans of Cen
eral Lee under the shade of the trees
on the other shore.
/ am proud to wear the Southern
cross of honor with which ] was dec
Grated by Mrs. Morrison Pinkney
Moody, President of the Daughters
of the Confederacy, Mississippi Di-
vision, Grenada, Miss, which l prize
more highly than any decoration that
could come from king, prince or
earthly potentate. ! would be giad
to receive a copy of your paper.

PROF. RUMBLE CHOSEN
CITY SUPERINTENDENT
One Of Mississippi's Ablest and Lead
ing Educators.

The board Of trustees of the Gre
NADIA City Schools have chosen Prof
John Rundle of Louisville, Miss. a.
superintendent for the next session
Prof. Rundle is one of the leading
educational forces of Mississippi. He
has strong personality, is an untir.
ing worker, is good organizer and
knows every detail of school work
He is credited with not only being
exacting of his students but is like
wise exacting of his faculty. In ad-
dition to his work in the school, he
is a strong force in all community
work. The trustees feel that they
are indeed fortunate in securing Mr.
Rundle. 1t is understood that the
trustees advised Mr.. Rundle that the
responsibility for the failure or sue
cess of the school was going to be
placed on him, hence the matter of
who would and would not be men,
bers of the faculty would rest upon
his shoulders.
Four members of the City Council,
and Mr.. w. B. Hoffa, which is to as
sumo Office the first Monday in May
met, by invitation, with the trustees.
The matter of school finances and
the erection of a new high school
building was discussed and the
Councilmen expressed their most cor
dial appreciation of all the plans of
the trustees. Every alderman of the
new administration would no doubt
been on hand had the meeting not
been held on Saturday night and had
there not been sickness in the home
of one of them. The Importance of
the new high school building was dis
cussed and the trustees hope to have
the matter in shape to present to
the City Council at an early day.
Bonds will have to be issued to get
funds to erect the new building, but
with the coming Of two big milling
plants and the overflow of pupils in
the present building it is hardly to be
supposed that anybody who gives the
moments serious
thought will have the temerity to
say that the new building is not an
absolute necessity.
Prof. McLendon, who has served
so ably and so faithfully during the
present session as the head Of Gre
NADIA Schools, notified the trustees
some days ago that he did not desire
to succeed himself. He has accepted
the cashierships of bank at Hickory,
Miss.

Judge Fisher of Georgetown, Texas
INSISTS Grenada.

Judge A. S. Fisher of Georgetown,
Texas, accompanied by his wife, ar
rived in Grenada Sunday afternoon of
this week to visit his sister, Mrs. s.
F. Bridgers at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. H. T. Calhoun, and
his brother-in-law, w. B. Winter, and
other relatives in this vicinity.
Judge Fisher was born in Coffee
vile being a son of Judge E. s. Fish
er who was on the supreme bench of
Mississippi shortly after the close of
the Civil War. He was reared about
fifteen miles west of Grenada and
was for a short while pupil in a
country school taught by the writer's
father in what is now is the Oxberry
community. He is generally refer
red to by his friends and acquaint-
ances of former days as "Ampy"
Fisher. He left Mississippi in 1871
for the Lone Star state where he at
tanned distinction at the bar and was
honored with place on the circuit
bench of that State. H s
brother, Hal Fisher, was member OF
the Texas Supreme Court. Naturally
his visit elicits more than ordinary
interest not only for the reason that
he comes of distinguished family,
but because he forms sort of con-
Meeting link between the living pres
ent and those of generation ago.
He adverts most Interestingly to the
deer hunts, bear hunts, wild cat hunts
and the yelp of the hound and all
those things that so charmed the
hunters in the western portion of this
and the edge Of Tallahatchie county
when he was boy.
The Sentinel extends Judge and
Mrs. Fisher most cordial welcome
back to the boyhood home of the
Judge and hopes that they will en-
Joy themselves as much as the writer
enjoyed the Judge for the short while
that he was q caller at this office.
