Damage to the amount Of $4,000
was done Wednesday morning by a
fire in the Devens building on Main
street, Brattleboro, three-story brick
building owned by Lucius II. Richard
son. The fire started in the basement
of restaurant owned by Henry
Schiltz and burned through into the
basement of a barber shop owned by
Charles Oaks. The flames followed a
stairway to the main floor of the res
taurant and at one time, owing to
darkness and the difficulty in reaching
the fire, it seemed as hough the blaze
would get the upper hand. Policeman
Ellis G. Worden discovered the fire
while making his rounds. The cause is
unknown. The damage was principal
ly to the real estate, there being
scanty equipment in the restaurant.
The property was insured.

DELYSIA, FRENCH ACTRESS, HERE

Miss Alice Delysia, or Delysia, as she
wishes TO be known, has arrived. which
means that her ankle brillants and

that New York IS invited to sit UP and

From Paris to London was but a step.
Delysia learned to speak English when
Charles 3. Cochran, we'll known London
manager, offered her an engagement.
This was when the war began He pro-

big revues at other theatres and because
Delysia became the talk of London even
in war time. She continued to act, and
at the same time was at the call Of
every charitable undertaking. Her rooms
in London housed children of French
soldiers. Meanwhile she continued to
appear In one revue after another under
Mr. Cochran's management. Among
other ventures she created the leading
role in the revue "As You Were" which
was done In New York last winter with
Miss Irenc Bordoni In the role played
by Delysia in London.
"Afgar," in which Delysia scored in
London. IS a musical extravaganza in

RACE FOR CONGRESS.
NEARING THE CLOSE


The days Of the Congressional cam
paign are drawing to close. have
tried to conduct my part OF it on a
high plane, dealing only with the IS.
sues that confront our Government
and the record of my opponent as
shown by the Official Records of Con-
gress. The fight have made has
been clean and hard.
Notwithstanding this I have heard
many untrue and prejudicial reports
that are being circulated to mjure me
in the election. If you will stop to
think, l am up against one of the
strongest and most powerful political
machines that it is possible to con-
struct with appointments and the use
of Federal patronage. In an endeav-
or to perpetuate its builder in office
and, as they think, its members in
the positions they now, hold, this ma
chine is running now at full blast.
They are full of anxiety and getting
feverish over the situation and put
ting forth every effort and making
every play that can be brought into
being by strong political organl-
zation.
Ny friend, you need not be sur
prised to hear any kind of report be-
ing circulated to injure me from now
until the election. This is politics" )"
This is not only my fight but the
peoples fight unless they are willing
to be bossed by this machine.
The outlook for us to win is ex-
ceedingly bright. In fact, it looks as
if we will have a real landslide out
of this campaign. With the continued
earnest work of our friends from now
on and including election day, we will
win by one Of the biggest majorities
ever accorded a candidate in this
section of the country-work and
vote to burst up this bossing ma
chine instead of voting to keep it in
power-break it up with such force
that there will remain no doubt as
to how the people of the Fourth Con-
gressional District condemn machine
politics.
Sincerely your friend,
Adv. JEFF BUSBY.

NEW DRUG STORE IN GRENADA
Nooner Brothers of Humboldt, Ten
nessee Opening Here.

In the building only recently occu-
pied by the Burnet Drug Store and
better known perhaps as the Eat
man building, Messrs. J. w. and T.
A. Nooner of Humboldt, Tenn. are
opening the Nooner Drug Co. These
gentlemen come from among a good
people and properly cast their lot
among a good people and in grow
ing and progressive town. They are
men we'll trained in business and ex-
perienced in the drug line. Mr.. T:
A. Nooner, a graduate and licensed
pharmacist, will look after the pre-
scription department and it would
seem, if carrying large and well Sc
lected stock of what is usually car
ried in a complete and uptodate drug
store, and courteous treatment, hon.
est prices and good service, will de-
velop a good and a growing trade, the
Nooner Drug Co. may rest assured
that it will have it.
The Soda Fountain in this store
promises to be one of the best con-
Quoted ever had in Grenada. The
Sentinel therefore feels that it can
thoroughly recommend the Nooner
Drug Co. and its proprietors to the
trade. Open for business tomorrow,
August 14th.

Mayor Calls Attention To Ordinance

The Sentinel directs attention Of its
readers in the city of Grenada to card
from Mayor Doty under the caption,
''Lest We Forget" in which the Mayor
calls attention to city law against
tieing horses or cows where they can
pass over or Craze across the side
walks. Grenada long ago decided that
she did not want animals running at
large within the corporate limits, and
it is hardly to be supposed that side
walk users appreciate very much the
idea of having to pass over sidewalks
where cows or horses are tied so that
they can pass back and forth across
the walks. The Mayor makes an ap-
peal to City pride, and in the good
name of the town, urges citizens to
think about uncleanliness and the
marring of the beauty of "the City
Beautiful" Read the Mayors card
and, good citizen, put on your think
er and violate no more.
1t might be stated that where the
tieing of animals so that they Craze
back and forth across sidewalks is
persisted in, phone message to
Pound Keeper, w. j. Rayburn, will be
in order which officer is duly author
lied to take such animal in charge.

An Appeal For Boarding Houses For
Teachers.

The Sentinel makes an appeal for
the Board of Trustees of the City
Schools in behalf of the teachers who
have been elected to teach in the
City Schools and who have not yet
been able to secure boarding places,
The City School cannot be run
without teachers. Teachers cannot
do work in the school without some
place to board. Four of the teachers
have not yet secured boarding places.
The Trustees appeal to the ladies of
Grenada to come to their help in this
matter. If rooms can be secured any
where at all near boarding house,
then rooms can be had at one place
and meals can be got at another.
The matter is urgent and must be at
tended to, if possible, otherwise there
will be some designations in the fac
ulty.

GRENADA TO BE A
WHOLESALE CENTER
Wholesale Grocery Concern Of $780,
600 Capital.

Grenada is coming rapidly to the
front in many ways and particularly
just now are wholesale concerns cast
ing their eyes this way. This trade
territory is particularly fortunate in
having Davis, Mize & Co. wholesale
grocers, locate at Grenada. This
firm has branch houses at Oxford and
at Holly Springs and is capitalized at
100000. 1t is therefore in a posi-
tion financially to buy from manufact-
urers and producers in. the very larg-
est quantities, possible, fact that
will enable the concern to take care
of the wants Of merchants on the
very best terms. Even one half
cent a pound, or 10 cents on a barrel
of -four amounts, to a great deal in
these days of high prices; especially
is this true when it is considered that
hundreds of thousands of barrels of
flour and tons and tors of 9TH
er similar items are bought by the
people. Mr.. w. w. Mize of Holly
Springs is president of the concern
and is a man of excellent business
judgment and one who is regarded
highly in all circles.
Mr.. H. T. Pope, one of Grenada's
best citizens and a travel
ing man of years experience,
will be general sales-manager.
Mr.. Pope is we'll versed in everything
in the grocery line; he is pleasant
and most agreeable gentleman and
makes one feel real good to discuss
any matter with him. His knowledge
of the grocery business, his ripe ex-
perience and his exceptional affabili-
ty assure the merchants that they may
expect the very best care taken OF
their needs and that an attractive
ear will be open to them at all times.
Mr.. ], P. Sisk of Oxford will be
cashier and general office manager.
He has been with them for two years
in one of their other stores and his ef-
fciency and popularity accounts for
his being placed at Grenada which
will most probably be the largest and
main store.
The main building will be in store
next to court house and when first
constructed, occupied by the F. Sabin
Company. The Sentinel feels
no hesitancy in commencing the
Davis, Mize & Co. to the merchants
of this section and gladly extends
them a most cordial welcome to Gre
NADIA. They expect their travelling
salesman to cover the territory as
FAR north as Sardis and Water Valley,
east to Calhoun City, west to Avalon
on the Y. & M. V. and south to Du-
rant.
They expect to be ready for busi-
ness after August 18th.
Their present quarters are but tenn
porary as it is the purpose of the
firm to shortly begin the erection OF
a very handsome building.

IN BEHALF OF THE SCHOOLS.

The bond issue recently authorized
by election must be used partly for
repairing the present buildings. The
School Board has notified the Mayor
and Board of Aldermen that some
five thousand dollars will be needed
shortly to pay for repairs contracted
for. Hence, the city authorities de-
sire to raise this money at once. The
bonds to be issued will bear six per
cent interest, and must sell for not
less than par. This is required by
law. The money market, it seems, is
very tight, stringent, and uncertain,
with money on loans greatly in de-
mand at even 8 and 10 per cent in
terest, with a bonus on top. So, 1t
would seem, there is small chance to
sell six per cent bonds at par II,
commercial markets. In view OF
these conditions, am writing this 70
ask our own citizens, in home PRIDE
and patriotism, to come forward anc
subscribe for $4,000 or $4,000 OF
these bonds, to help out the schools
in the present emergent necessity.
believe there are ten or twenty men
in Grenada who will volunteer to take
81 900 or $500 each, as the case may
be. in order to absorb this .partial is.
sue for the benefit Of the schools.
am now, and have always been, heart
ily in favor of repairing the building:
so as to make them entirely comfort
able. Surely, out of the number OF
those who so recently and so ardentlS
advocated the bond issue, there are
many who will gladly give this more
substantial evidence Of their devo'
tion to the school interests by coming
promptly to the relief of the schools
in the present distress.
Yours for the schools,
w. S. P. DOTY, Mayor.

THE DIXIE SERUM
PLANT is SMILING
Want of Government Caused Six
Months Delay.

Mr.. C.. Workman, owner and op-
orator of the Dixie Serum Plant in
Grenada, is smiling more than usual
during the last few days and it is fair
to assume that all about the Serum
Plant are smiling, too. The smiles are
brought about because of the arrival
of DR.. Joseph Clerk who has been
detailed by the United States govern
ment to inspect the virus prepared
by the Plant. Mr.. Workman has been
waiting since practically January l,
last, for the government to- detail
some one to come and perform the
duties to which Dr. Clark has been as
signed. Not wheel could be moved
until such an inspector came. The
government is just short of men,
hence the delay, which has been more
than annoying to Mr.. Workman be-
sides being quite expensive. DR.:
Clark comes to Grenada from another
government plant at Omaha, Neb.
The Dixie Serum Plant will be run
ming on full time within few days.
The Plant has capacity of some
thing like so hogs per day. But it =
not to be understood that the entire
consumption of hogs is lost to COM
merce so far as meat-output is con-
cerned. In fact only small percent
of the hogs used are used for pur-
poses that will draw upon the meat
supply of the country. The reader
will understand that it is the purpose
and object of the plant to manufac-
ture serum that will insure the lives
of hogs and thereby greatly increase
the meat output of the country.
When the plant gets well under
way. it would be well for the farm
ers and stock raisers of the surround
ing territory to visit it. 1t will serve
as an eye opener to the almost mar
velous things being done by the gov
ernment and by science for contrib
uting to healthy food supply OF the
world.
Mr.. Workman is an elegant gen
tleman and can be relied upon to give
everybody a square deal and to make
the Dixie Serum Plant an enterprise
that will not enly mean much to Gre
NADIA, but one in which the whole
State may justly feel a pride.
