SWINE PLAGUE MAKES AP- PEARANCE ATvSTATE FARM

Swine plague has developed at the state prison farm, it was stated by Dr. R. J. Flight, state veterinarian. He said he had ordered all hogs at the farm vaccinated. Not more than ten of the 150 hogs in the herd were infected, he said he believed. An out break of the disease in the Gila valley was also reported to the state veter- inarian's office. Measures to be taken in the vicinity of Stafford, he said, were being left in the hands of the local veterinarian.
 It was announced that Dr. T. w. Crump. formerly with the federal bu- reau of animal industry, has been ap- pointed to make inspections of inter- state shipments. He has been sheep inspector in the state for number of years, but resigned recently to enter private practice at Flagstaff.

WIRE SIZES

Contrary to the seeming ideas of many car owners, there is consider able difference in the properties of electric light wire. For instance the resistance of number ten gauge cop per wire 12 feet long is 2h ohms. That of the same length of number sixteen wire is four times as great. The electric lights of the motor car call for the number ten gauge wire; !; be sure that no heavier gauge is used.

GRAND OPERA SINGER
IN SONG RECITAL

Crawford Noble. the famous tenor
late of the Capitol Opera Company
New York, is en- route to Grenada
and will appear at Opera House next
Thursday evening.
Mr.. Noble was simply born into
the realm of music where his remark
able ro-bustO tenor. so full, 50 rich
~. ! g, s,ol' Lcrf,.i .ang., has made
his success that which is seldom
achieved by artists. In recitals, Mr..
Mobiles triumphs have equaled those
in opera, and he always finds himself
busy in that which is not second ma
ture but d real part of himself.
The debut of Crawford Noble was
a definite and pleasurable surprise
amounting to a sensation. For a
Young man IN the course OF a Jew
months to come on the stage of one
of the largest theatres in the world
and sing with poise, authority and
ease of a eteran, with voice Wnlcn
has caused more comment the past
season than possibly any other voice
IN New York. One of the most
prominent of New York's musicians,
after hearing Crawford Noble sing,
made the following statement when
asked as to what he thought of the
voice. II don't know what to say, !
have never heard a voice like it, it is
so very unusual and so wonderful and
vet to try and criticize it, ] would re-
ouire several weeks to think it over
before / made a statment, altho l
am sure / could never be able to pick
anv flaws with it. 1t is voice that
is baritone in quality and tenor IN
range making very wonderful COM
bination." -,
The music lovers of Grenada will
have the opportunity of hearing thus
fine voice in a great program with
numbers ranging from the highest
class to the lighter songs and assuring
a selection of numbers which VIII
please everybody.

Farm Notes and Suggestions By H. c.
= Heath, County Agent.

Nitrate of Soda is well worth twice
as much as cotton seed meal in fer
tilizer value. 1t is ready available
when you apply it. With crops late
like they are / don't think any man
will make a mistake to use Nitrate
under cotton or corn. This Nitrate
will cost you only $1,000 per ton.
It is worth $1,000 on the market to
day. I certainly would like to have
some farmers in this county use the
few tons / have left. However | can
not hold it here for you much longer.
The season is getting late and we have
not got the money to carry it over.
We will have car of ear corn here
next week. Price $2.40 per bushel.
If you want any of this corn please
notify me right away so that l can
notify you when the car comes.
Continue to plant corn, sorgum, and
sweet potatoes at least until the first
of July Prepare your land well be-
fore planting. A crop properly plant
ed at this time Of year is more than
half made Let us put forth every ef-
fort not to have any feed shipped in
here next year.

Mr.. w. C. Kirk Is Delighted With
Grenada.

As with almost every one else who
visits Grenada, Mr.. and Mrs. w. G.
Kirk, who are visiting at the home of
their son, w. Fl. Kirk, in Grenada,
are delighted with the "City Beau
|tiful." Grenada is very pleased to
have these excellent people in her
midst, Mr.. Kirk is one Of the leading
factors of the town of Paris, Tenn.
He comes from a good town and is
therefore the better prepared to pass
judgment on another good town.
Naturally he and his excellent wife
take great pride in the home of their
son and his good wife and the bright
little grandchildren.
Mr.. Kirk has been Grenada citi-
zen only little more than a half
dozen years. He is made of that ma
terial which uses obstacles as stepping
stones. Once since his residence in
Grenada and when fortune at least
for the time being seemed against
him, he sought and obtained employ
ment by the day Now he is one of
the most successful saddlery statesmen
in the South. He has thoroughly es-
tablished himself in business, and, be-
sides being the owner of nearly one
thousand acres Of land near Grenada,
he has other property interests and
Is also a director in the Grenada Bank.
He enjoys the confidence and the
esteem Of the entire community.
The Sentinel takes great pleasure
in mentioning these facts just now
not only for the reason that it is al
ways glad to throw deserved bouquets
but because the father and mother
are here and the writer knows the
pride and hopes of good parents have
in their children.
