 Undoubtedly the people of Killing1y who favor the daylight having plan nutnumber those who are opposed to it, but united action on the part of the big manufacturers in favor of day light saving is a necessary prelude to it's adoption here, though Putnam goes on a daylight saving basis next Sunday.
 The spring brings tales of winter happenings in outlying sections where people have been showed in for weeks. mong the stories is one of pair of white rabbits that were caught, just for amusement, and later released. One of these rabbits weighed Is 1-2 pounds, the other an even 1T pounds. The severity of the past winter drove the white rabbits into sections where they rarely ever have been seen be- fore.

RAINS LAST YEAR
LESSON AS TO ROAD WORKING

1t will hardly be disputed that
there has been about as much real
bad weather crowded into the year
1920 as any within the history of
this section. 1t started out to rain
ing in he fall of 1919 and it seemed
to have gotten such momentum that
it just could not sop, so it rained
the first of the year and kept on
raining through the winter and into
the spring and never stopped until
about the middle of June. There
has been far more than the usual
amount of rain this fall and the
weather during the past week shows
that the weather man seems to have
lost control of the elements and that
the clouds have determined to spill
themselves. This seems to be a period
OF extremes and of eXtravagances
and while it is not known which was
the first to become infected, vet if
such a thing were possible, there
would be few to deny that the wealth
er man caught the excess disease
from humanity.
1t the rains continue as they have
within the past thirty days the pub
lie roads Of Grenada county will be
well nigh impossible again this win
Ter and it would appear that the
fesSon of the past year would be
that it is futile to waste public mon
ey working the roads when it is GER
tain that the very next rain will
wash them away again.

Four Minor Alarms Wednesday.
Thursday Morning Jones Resi-
dence Burned.

Just somehow it seems that when
one fire occurs in Grenada, there
are others almost Immediately, CO.
tainly within day or two. But on
Wednesday of this week, there were
four alarms which caused a hurried
run of the fire department. The
first was the residence occupied by
Mr.. George Thomas, on Line street.
The damage was but slight. The
next within very short while was
some grass in yard on Govan
street. The third alarm was given
from the Junior and Senior hall at
Grenada College, but prompt atten-
tion soon extinguished the blaze, but
in a short while, there was another
call from the West Ward, this time
being some fence on the Pepper
premises.
But Thursday morning, the old
and handsome residence of Mrs. r.
w. Jones, formerly known as the J.
j. Slack property, caught on fire
and While the fire department re-
sponded promptly and as it always
does, did effective work, still the
flames were under such headway
that it was impossible to save this
The house was burned
practically to the ground. Almost
all the furniture was saved. The
,otal loss is perhaps s1O,00O.OO
which was only partially covered by
insurance.

8. Mrs. Vandegrift is daughter of
the late Mr.. j. r. Proudfit, of Gre

A LITTLE CHILD is
CALLED TO HEAVEN

There is one fortunate and beau
tlful thing about life in that when
the grim messenger invades home,
the heart of even the most callous
is touched, and especially is this true
when the earthly mission of little
child is finished and it's voice is still
ed, its prattle is no longer heard in
the home because it has been trans
ferred to Gods eternal City. Such
was the case in the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. John w. Gilbert when on last
Saturday night their little two
and one-half year old son, John Will
liam, Jr., went away with an escort
Of angels to that place where there
Is no night and where the air is fill
ed with the sweetest music and ev-
elything is set in harmony with love,
peace and joy. The little fellow had
been Ill for several days with pneu-
monia when other complications
arose which his system was unable
to withstand. He was an exceeding
/ bright and lovely child and the
sympathy of the community goes out
to the heart broken parents in their
great sorrow. The remains were
carried to Carrollton, Ill.,, the old
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert, for
interment. The Sentinel extends the
sincerest sympathy to the bereaved. !

MANY BEAUTIFULLY
DRESSED WINDOWS
Santa Claus Spirit Shown in Show
Windows of The Grenada
Merchants.

Grenada merchants have been
noted for years for the beauty of
their stores and for the art and skill
shown in decorating show windows,
but this paper believes that they
have eclipsed all past records in the
exceedingly splendid taste exhibited
in Christmas decorations for this
season. The fact that so many have
meager purses and that it is no un-
common thing to hear it said that
there will be less of Christmas pur-
chases than for long time, is some
what compensated for in the cheer
and mirth shown in many show win
dows. 1t will make almost any one
feel rejuvenated and imagine him
self once again in actual contact
with Santa Claus to view these hand
some and well adorned windows.
Perhaps the stocks carried by Dun
can q Co., and the r. Pressgrove
Goods Co., enable them to outstrip
others, yet there are other stores
where the windows are in perfect
harmony with the stocks carried and
which are deserving of special COM
for the care and clever
ness in Santa Claus decorations. 1t
is great thing to try to make 9TH
ars cheerful and glad and these
beautiful windows show a fine spirit
and contribute much to the pleasure
and satisfaction of shoppers. Come
% Grenada to make your purchases
md come if you have no purchases
% make and see the prettiest Christ
mas decorations you ever beheld in
stores.

If Lot Must Fit Plans Then Property
Must Be Bought. Suggests That
Trustees Show What 1t Will
Cost After New Building is up.

Editor Sentinel:
/ was appointed bv the Honorable
Mayor and board of Aldermen as one
of a committee of three citizens to
meet with some of the aldermen and
school trustees to recommend a site
or lot for the new school building.
Generally the architects job is to
plan building for a selected lot
in this instance, as I understand, the
trustees have adopted and accepted
a plan, SO it is that lot will have
to be obtained to suit a plan.
The building or plan, which / un-
dersapd was adopted by the trus-
tees, is beautiful, modern and COM
plete in every detail and would do
credit to city of one hundred
thousand inhabitants and be a monu-
ment to the board of trustees. With
a building such as the trustees have
adopted plans for, it would be un-
wise and foolish not to select site
that would fit the building; it would
be like a, lady dressed in gingham
wearing silk stockings.
/ understood from the trustees
that the responsibility for adopting
plans and erecting the building was
wholely in their hands and
that the building would be erected
as soon as the bonds were sold.
Just this suggestion to the trus-
tees: In view of the fact tLat the
Mayor and Aldermen are response
bic to the people for the money rciS-
ed through taxation for the up-keep
Of the building and the running of
the schools, wouldn't it be wise for
them TO prepare a schedule of what
1t Will cost for up-keep and main
tenance of the proposed building; |
the additional money to pay for in
surance on a $10O,0OO.OO buildir e;
The additional cost of coal to proper
y heat the building; the cost of ad-
iltional teachers and janitor service
and add all this TO the present school |
budget so as to let the city council !
nave an idea of the additional school |
AK that will have to be added to the !.
present school tax? want the /
if we can properly keep it:
f we can't, don't.
The bond issue was voted on
from the trustees that
he old building was unsafe and un-
anitary, not properly heated and
unfit for school purposes. 1t seems
o me that it would be wise for the
rustees to first see that these things
re sraightened out in the old build
ng, that the defects they then COM
'lained about are remedied. The
mall children are entitled to as
luch comfort and entertainment as

his plans and improvements to the
residence. Beautiful ard well ar
ranged cottages are dotted about the
plantation. The barn carries a mes
sage that means hay, corn and other
feedstuffs for the horses, hogs and
cattle. Another big barn which will
perhaps eclipse anything of its kind
IN the state is in progress. 1t is con.
templated that the artesian well
which is being sunk shall be about
the center of the new barn and send
its refreshing water into every stall
IN the barn. 1t is to be a model
piantation-to have upon it all the
necessary things which money will
provide.
1t is understood that almost every
class or kind of live stock will be
raised on the plantation and pheas-
ants as well as other kinds of birds
shall be cared for. Fox and other
wild animals which furnish sport for
the huntsman will also be among the
things raised, on "Glenwildn-the
name by which this historic property
IS hereafter to be known. Indeed
almost every fowl and animal which |
is any wise useful to man and which
is suited to this climate, will receive
the fostering care and attention of |
"Glenwild" plantation management. |
A visit to Glenwild where one sees
what transformation has been made !
and where he gets glance of what !
Mr.. Borden has in mind, almost |
startles one who is used to seeing so |
much work done by piece meal be-
cause OF the fact that exchequers are
low, because there are but few who
have felt able to launch into farming
and stock raising except on a rnoder-
ate scale--too many who have had the
means in this section during the last /
tmrty years or more have thought
That there was nohing else. to do zex-
cept to "move to town. for big in
vestments, for big things.
Mr.. Borden is frequent visitor toI
the plantation and to Grenada and
has made a fine impression on the
community. He has not seemed to,
want to leave the impression that he
was the possessor of much wealth or
the doer Of big things. He has
seemed to rather prefer to let his
works and his conduct speak for
Grenada County is glad
to welcome him to her midst and the
best wishes of everybody are that he
may prosper in all that he does on
sGlenwild." 1
