MES-JENNINCS.

A, charming early June wedding
was that of Miss Mary Olive Jennings,
of Sharkey, Miss, to Mr.. Norman
Bruce Ames, of Washington, D. c.,
which was solemnized at four O'Clock
on the afternoon of Thursday, June
9, 1921, at the Presbyterian church
in Grenada.
Long before the appointed hour,
the edifice was thronged with friends
who assembled to witness this mar
riage of a former Grenada girl to the
man of her choice.
The auditorium was exquisitely
decorated. Masses of ferns and state
ly palms banked the altar and choir
loft. Pedestals, surmounted by bas-
kets of dainty pink and blue hydrang-
eas, were spaced at intervals and pink
petunias were arranged low on the
chancel. A novel touch was added
to the decorations by golden cages
of canary birds whose sweet notes
mingled with the nuptial music. An
artistic musical program was render
ed by Miss Julia Stevens and Miss
Mai Memory James, of Sharkey, the
latter singing Beloved, It is Morn"
and 40 Promise Me-. Miss Stevens
was at the organ and during the
ceremony played Venetian Love

Result of Killing. Bond Fixed at

The killing Of Henry Thomas by
Louella Edwards, both colored, which
was noted in these columns last week,
resulted in the Edwards woman be-
ing bound over to await the action
of the grand jury by Mayor Doty on
Tuesday. Her bond was fixed at
S., 100000. Cora Robertson, who was
living with the Edwards woman and
who was present at the killing was
held as witness 1t seems that the
visit the night before the shooting
of Charlie Booker, who lives in Mem
phis, and who occasionally visited the
Edwards woman, was one of the
causes of the killing, so, he, too, is
being held as a witness.

PROMINENT LAWYER
ADDRESSES CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE
Deplores Ignorance and Urges Edu.
cation. Says Old Time Religion
Should Be Revived.

Judge Percy Bell spoke before the
Chamber of Commerce i'm Grenada
last Thursday afternoon by invitation.
He was presented by Hon. w. A.
Winter, who spoke most compliment
tary of Judge Bells service in the
State Legislature and of the Judges
unselfish devotion to duty.
Judge Bell announced his theme,
as, For a Greater Mississippi. His
first step in the discussion was to de-
preciate the intense partisan spirit
that had manifested itself for the
past few years, and to insist that the
only way for that proper develop
ment which was within the grasp of
the State, was for each man to think
more generously and more kindly of
his neighbOr.' He urged eudcation.
He said the ignorant man was by
force of surroundings and circum-
stances, narrow, suspicious and more
or less prejudiced. And, he said,
that the way so many in office had
imposed on the public during the
past few years that there was little
wonder that the unlettered man was
prejudiced and suspicious. He plead
for education for the masses and the
SeAhAhS VI HOilCfCo OoO VI Jul StdSS
colleges and University.
He discussed the material wealth
of the state and showed how little
care was given to many of the hills
and much of the uplands of the
State. He said that the gullies which
are seen in so many hillsides should
not be there. He said that these
hills ought to be planted in pasture
grass and sheep and cattle raised
Judge Bell insisted that there
should be a revival Of old time relig-
ion and that and a more OutSpoken
and determined stand for law and
order. He emphasized the necessity
Of purity of living and said that you
could hardly expect any higher moral
standard of the officer than you could

REV. e. A. DeMILLER
RESIGNS AS RECTOR
Accepts Cab of Church at Biloxi.
Sewers Connections With Church
y Here on July I.

Rev. E. A. DeMiller, Rector of All
Saints Episcopal church in Grenada,
has accepted a call from the church
at Biloxi and has notified his men,
bership in Grenada that he will sever
his connections with them on july /.
The Biloxi church has three hun
dred communicates and is one of the
most important charges in Mississippi.
the church where Jefferson Davis and
his family worshiped after Mr.. Davis
took up his residence on the coast.
Verv general regret is felt in Gre
NADIA that Mr.. DeMiller and his ex-
cellent wife and little boy are to
leave Grenada. Mr.. DeMiller came
to All Saints church October /! 1916,
from Walden, where he was serving
that charge, also Wesson and Car
rollton. He has grown on the COM
He enjoys not only the
esteem but the most cordial good
will of the entire town. He is
man and is strong, vigorous
and able in the pulpit, and believes
in preaching the gospel after the
manner Of what many term the old
timers. He believes in talking out
in the meeting" and of directing the
minds of his hearers to those things
round about which the best thought
should condemn.
Mr.. DeMiller is now 32 years of
age. He was born at Mobile, Ala,
He has the best years of his life yet
before him and this paper believes
that he may be counted upon to be-
come one of the great leaders in the
Episcopal church.

reared in Warrenton, Va. She is a
fine character and will greatly endear
herself to any community. She is

ATTORNEY GENERAL
RENDERS OPINION
TO SUPERVISORS
His Opinion That Board Does Not
Have to Advertise in Newspapers
Unless Law Specifically States So

At special meeting of the board
>of supervisors held May %, the ques-
tion was raised as to whether the
board had a right to enter into con-
tract fbr anything over $4,000 with
out getting competitive bids. In
order to get the opinion of the State
Attorney General letter was ad-
dressed to that official asking his con-
str,lction of the law to the letting of
public contracts, and while the opin-
ion of the Attorney General does
not change the law, yet it is advisory
and serves as sort of shield or pro-
lection TO the supervisors until over
ruled by the courts. A copy of the
opinion appears below, was rendered
tOrney General, William Hemingway,
and was addressed to Mr.. Kemp Mat
tingly, member of the board from dis
trict l, this county:
u have your letter of recent date
as to the purchase of equipment for
building without advertising for
competitive bids.
II have given this matter very care
full attention and am of the opinion
that If competition was secured that
1t was not necessary to advertise in
newspapers. The Laws of 1914,
Chapter 206, simply provides for
competitive bids. 1t does not say
anything about advertising. Under
the Code of 1906, Section 361 (Hem-
ingway's Code, section 3734) con-
tracts for public wc.'k must be ad-
vertised. Under the Code of 1906,
section 369 (Hemingway's Code, sec
tlon 3742) certain contracts may be
made without advertising, being in
the nature of an emergency. Sec
tion 4433 and provides for contracts
without advertising. / am citing
these sections to show that different
purposes have different modes of Sc
curing bids and making contracts.
Il think that competition should
be secured at all times. In letting
contracts for State printing of sta
tionery and for buying coal. an ad-
vertlsement Is required. It appears,
therefore, that when the legislature
desired advertising it said so in ex-
pressed terms. The Laws of 1914,
which amended the Laws of 1912.
Chapter 123. spoke of supplies, etc.
for public work, and limited the pur-
Nti0SC bS al iIQiSluudl IlSHlUoT Oh In0
board to one hundred dollars. How
ever desirabl advertising may be,
there IS no requirement that you
shall advertise for the articles which
you have purchased. Competitive
bids may be obtained by means of
request or an advertisement, it be-
ing the rule that in the absence of
constitutional or statutory mandate,
competitive bids are not necessary.
Therefore. it is clearly in the power
of the legislature to provide fer COM
petitive bids by request or advertise
ment. Is c. J. page 548, section
242. I am, however, of the opinion
that competition must be secured
whether the purchases are made by
the board Of supervisors, the road
or agents of either.
Yours very truly,

The following resolutions were
adopted relative to amusements:
Whereas the deadly spirit of world
illness appears to have tremendous
hold upon the people of our Country
today; and whereas such spirit seeks
to manifest itself through the prac-
tice Of certain evil indulgences; and
whereas many Of the young people of
our church have been and continue
to be guilty of having a part in such
indulgences; therefore
Be it resolved: !. That we, the
members of the EpwOrth League
Conference, express our regret and
ency of many of our young people to
lower the standard of morality with
respect to recreation and amusement.
2. That we unhesitatingly de-
ncunce the modern dance as pernic-
louS to decency and good morals, and
that we urge our leaguers not only
to abstain from indulgence therein
themselves but to use every influence
to persuade others to abstain.
8. That, while we recognize the
value of the motion pic
ture, we deplore it's appeal in many
cases to the baser instincts and ex-
mort our young people to refrain
heir patronage from any perform
ance that does not elevate morally. ]
4. That we express it as our opin-
on that earnest and active service
n the Epworth League and church
and regular attendance upon public |
Worship would safeguard us against
such demoralizing practices and to
hat end we call upon our Leaguers
to devote their efforts
accordingly.
5. That a copy of these reselu-
ions be spread upon the minutes Of
his annual Conference.
