LAMAR ROSS ACCIDENTALLY
SHOOTS HIMSELF.

The accidental discharge Of a pis-
toll in his own hands at his home two
miles south Of Grenada on Wednes-
day afternoon gave Mr.. Lamar Ross
close call for his life. The ball en-
tered his left breast few inches be-
low the heart and came out Of his
back just above the kidneys. It
seems that there was a dog prowl-
ing around the premises disturbing
the chickens and in quest Of eggs.
Mr.. Ross come into the house, got
his pistol and started out to give the
visiting canine q scare. In watching
for the dog he accidentally tripped
over some wire when the pistol dis
charged with the above result. His
physician was summoned at once and
it was thought at first that it would
be necessary to rush him to Men,
phis to hospital. But when the doc
tor began to remove his clothing it
was found the ball had ploughed
its way clear through and lodged in
his clothing.
The fact that the ball went clear
through simplified his condition and
made his case much easier to handle
so the idea of carrying him to Mem
phis was abandoned. / He rested
pretty we'll Wednesday night and it
is reported Thursday morning that he
is doing fairly well. His many
friends share the anxiety of his FAM
lily over his condition. His physician
asserts that unless some complica-
tions arise, he will soon be all right.

PEACOCK ANNOUNCES
FOR CITY TREASURER

In the proper column will be seen
the name of Mr.. H. B. Peacock who
submits his name to the voters OF
Grenada at the ensuing election for
the office of City Treasurer.
Mr.. Peacock is an old man yet is
one of Grenada's most 'honored, trust
worthy and dependable citizens He
has never failed to identify himself
aggressively with every moral move
ment intended for the betterment of
the community. It has been his aim
and endeavor to view all public ques-
tions in the light of the needs Of the
hour and not from any prejudiced
standpoint. His physical condition
is such that the small emoluments of
the treasurer's office would amount to
quite a good deal to him. He is now
confined at his home with case of
"flu" but The Sentinel is authorized
to say that as soon as he is able to
get out he will call upon the voters
in person.

ENJOYED COMMUNITY
CHRISTMAS TREE"

Editor Grenada Sentinel:
We regard it duty, and it is GER
tainly pleasure, through your col
umns, to acknowledge thanks to the
white citizens Of our community for
the expressed thought and kind re-
membrance Of us in = Community
Christmas Tree" Four hundred
(400) gifts were provided for as
many negro children, that had been
listed by the pastors of the negro
churches of our city.
Mr.. j. c. Wilson, who so princely
directed the affair, was with us from
start to finish and he can tell any
one about the Joy and happiness it
afforded our children.
Mrs. Smith of the Grenada Bank
dictated the decorations and came
among US to take look at what had
been done. We think from her ap-
pearance that she was pleased.
While we do not know all the white
people who contributed, we thank all
of them.
Mr.. Wilson, in addition to the gifts
provided for the tree, had a cash
fund in his purse to give to "down
and out" ones of our community,
which he proceeded to distribute to
those who had been lined up to-wit:
Gabriel Mckee, Martha Golden,
Frank Walden, Frank Richardson, Viii
liam jackson, Mary Towns, Nellie
Rhone, Rebecca Montgomery, Julia
Cause, Harriette Taylor, Ormes Ed
monds.
It would have been a pleasure for
any one to have looked into the faces
Of these old people, as they received
that little cash and heard the bene-
dictions pronounced upon the givers.
We trust that all of our people will
strive to live worthy Of this kindness.
so lavishly poured out upon US, and
realize that in the broadest sense we
all should live together in peace and
harmony with our fellowman.
To this end, as the new year comes
in, we will make fresh endeavOrs to
BE more devoted to duty, to DO
more for peace and harmony than
ever.
Respectfully,

The Editor Sick.

: The Editor of The Sentinel has
been in bed about ten days and his
illness has developed into a genuine
case of "f1u." Notwithstanding his
illness, he has prepared quite a little

Cafarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to catarrhal aeafness. and that is by a institutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by in- famed condition Of the mueous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inlamed you have a rumbing oound or i'm perfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and Ghis tube restored to it's normal condition. hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an unframed condition of the mucous eur- faces Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system
