THE GRENADA SENTINEL

What you SUPPOSE he s0- rcrticuler
to know fer?" asked George. iiiganu-
ously feeling he was guarding nis
secret while gratifying his curiosity.
"How should / know? Maybe he
wants to hang flowers On my door.
He's very rich, l understand"
George grinned, interested and SYM
pathetic. He scented and 1t
explained all to him rs adequately as
It had to Mrs. Jimmson.
I unlocked my door as quickly as I
could didn't mean to let George
think I attached any importance to
monsieur. I knew enough. The man
was a fellow tenant in the same house.
In the fiat directly under mine, and
George was his paid spy. AS ! shut
the door, / asked myself, "What
pext?"
l had a fleeting idea Of keeping
Jimmson with me for the night; but !
couldn't think of any explanation for
SO unusual q request. I could not
take her into my cOnffdence-if she
stayed, I could hardly keep her out OF
1t. She vas anxious to go home-I
saw that and I didn't blame her; and
/ was anxious to be alone and think,
and I felt only relief as I saw the last
of her faded skinny weeds, her faded
skinny form, and l said good-by to her
heartily, little realizing that she was
the one human being who stood be-
tween me and monsieur's machine
lions, and that when she closed her
self out, she closed me in--a prisoner.

Farm For Sale.

The Lamar Ross place, three miles
South of Grenada, on the jefferson
Davis Highway. This farm contains
four hundred and forty five acres of
land. Seven years of intensive cul-
tivation combined with scientific crop
rotation have made these, perhaps,
the most highly developed lands in
Grenada County.
A splendid residence, in perfect
repair, with deep well and hot and
cold water connections in the house
makes this an ideal country home.
Only five minutes ride from the
Tie Plant churches and school, fifteen
minutes from Grenada.

But George was suspicious and on

Panama Canal Profits.
IVA P0st)

Probably not many. people have
taken the trouble to ascertain wheth-
er the Panama Canal has been profit
able to it's builder, the United States
Government, and perhaps even fewer
have cared one way or the other, be-
ing satisfied with the value of the
canal as a promoter of world COM
merce. regardless of it's financial re-
turn" remarked Charles A. Ham
mond. of Mobile, Ala. LAS matter
Of fact, though the canal has here
tofore shown an annual deficit, it has
finally begun to pay. During the
last fiscal year the canal earned a
surplus over expenses of more than
$4,000 900. with total income of more
than $8.000.0 900 on the handling Of
nearly $500 commercial vessels, be-
sides numerous naval units which
passed from ocean to ocean.
These figures constitute new rec
ords for the great waterway. The
number of vessels utilizing the canal
was the largest since it's opening
the income was larger in it's gross
total and the net earning was q
wholly new thing. The accumulated
deficit in operating costs will require
several years to wipe out, as itl is
now about 100000, but with in
creases in revenues on the basis of
last year it will not be long before the
Panama Canal will begin to pay in
terest on it's original cost"
