MISS MARGARET OWENS DIED

On Friday of last week, Miss Mar
garet Owens died at her home five
miles west of Grenada and her re-
mains were laid to rest the next day
in the old Hope church burying
grounds after funeral services con-
Quoted by Rev. J. r. Cunningham,
pastor of the Presbyterian church In
Grenada of which the deceased had
long been a member.
This good woman was four score
and two years old. She led a quiet,
unobstructive life, yet not at all
selfish one. She had done the part
of the good housekeeper, the good
sister, and the good neighbor. She
had cared for the sick and those who
knew her best esteemed her most.
When a married sister passed away
and left some children she and her
unmarried sister who survives her
r,ok the children and cared for them
with all the kindness and all the love
possible. They were at her bedside
when the end came and had lovingly
and tenderly ministered to her. Such
a character could not have lived in
vain and the promises of God as in
terpreted from Holy Writ is authori-
ty for believing that she is now with
the redeemed in the Celestial City.
To the sister and two brothers as
well as other loved ones who survive
her, The Sentinel tenders sympathy.

MINISTERS JOIN IN OPPOSING
CERTAIN SOCIAL DIVERSIONS

We, the members of the Official
Boards of the Methodist, Presbyter-
ian and First Baptist Churches, hav-
ing occasion to express our great con-
eern for and alarm at the strong hold
the spirit of the world is getting on
many of those who are members of
the church. Our churches in common
with all other evangelical churches,
have put their strong disapproval on
such forms of worldiness as the So
cial dance and card playing. We be-
Eeve these diversions to be not only
harmful to the Christian life Of those
who indulge in them, but to lead to
even worse sins.
Yet to many this disapprovai of,
AID warning against, these worldly
amusements is little more than q dead
letter. They heed not the admonitory
voice of those who watch for their
soul. And so we feel that we should
again speak in the most solemn man
ner against this growing evil.
We call upon our churches to make
this q matter Of deep concern and
earnest prayer that God may show
to those who are thus uislead the
danger of this disregard of sacred
church covenants. We would make
our earnest appeal to those who have
thus brought confusion into the King
dom, to lay aside these practices, and
to adorn the social life with such
other entertainments as will not only
be edifying, but also make a positive
contribution to the spiritual life Of
our people, and will guard our homes
against the encroachments of the
world.

IN MEMORIAM.

Miss Margaret M. Owens was born
near Wensborough, Fairfield district,
South Carolina, March 4th 1889. The
family moved to Oktibbeha County,
Mississippi, from which place, two
years later, 1841, they moved to this
county and established their home
six miles west of Grenada, which was
then Yalobusha county. From this
early childhood home, where her
whole life had been spent in loving
service, her gentle spirit winged its
way to God at z O'Clock on the after
noon of October 7th.
On account of her secluded home
life of later years, few others
but her relatives and very close
friends knew her, for the men and
away.
She was the daughter of Capt. VIM.
B. and Elizabeth G. Owens. Her
maternal grandfather was Richard
Mason, an early and successful plo-
neer of this section and the progenitor
of the later large Mason family so
well known in this county. He was
the founder of Hope, Presbyterian
church. Miss Margaret was con-
sistent member of this church from
early childhood, which was located
near her home and in a community
noted for the high qualities of its
citizenship. To say that her life and
character reflected credit upon her
lineage and the old community In
which she grew up and lived, IS high
praise.
No finer tribute could be paid to
her unselfish and useful life than was
paid during her last illness by the
continued presence and ministratlons
of her foster children-children OF
her dead sister-who had been watch
ed over, trained and brought to a
strong and useful manhood and wo-
manhood by this good lady and her
loyal brother and sister.
One who knew her from his own
childhood writes to bear testimony
to her worth and merit. She was
buried near the site of the old church
where lie all that was mortal OF her
parents, grandparents and numbers
of other loed ones. Rev. j. r. Cum
ningham, pastor of the Presbyterian
church in Grenada conducted the
funeral services.
Miss Margaret is survived by two
brothers, E. j. and J. H. Owen, one
sister, Miss Joe Anna, besides OTHER
relatives with whom the entire COM
munity sympathizes.

BOND ISSUE LOST
BY FOUR TO ONE

Coffeeville, Miss, Oct. 6.-The
election commissioners of Yaiobusha
County met here today to canvass the
returns Of the special county election
Saturday to determine whether or
not the board of supervisors would be
allowed to borrow money to defray
the expenses of the county for the
current year. The election was over
whelmingly against the issuance of
county loan warrants for that pur-
pose. This puts the board Of super
visors and county officials in rather
an embarrassing predicament. Very
few of the county departments have
any funds at all. County officials
have received no pay since the July
meeting of the board and there is
very little prospect Of their getting
any before February or March. The
road funds are exhausted in most
cases. The law does not permit the
issuance of county warrants unless
there is money in the treasury to
meet them and it looks as if the busi-
ness of the county will have to be
transacted on credit for some
months.
This action on the part of the vot-
ers is the elimination of a movement
by the tax payers to curtail expenses
of the county.

BRUCE D. NEWSOM AN.
NOUNCES FOR MAYOR

The announcement of Mr.. Bruce
ID. Newsom for mayor came too late
last week to receive any mention
other than the placing of his name in
the announcement column.
Dir. Newsom came to Grenada
about four years ago just after his
graduation in the law from the State
University where he also received his
literary degree. The writer happens
to know that he was not encouraged
to cast his lot in Grenada for the
reason, as it was believed, that the
law business here was hardly more
than enough to creditably sustain the
attorneys already here, but after
some brief investigation, Mr.. Newsom
stated that he was coming anyway,
and that he felt sure that he could
succeed. He came and it appears
that his faith in what he thought he
could do was well founded. That
same courage and indomitable will
and energy that he showed about
making Grenada his home, he has
manifested about everything else with
the result that he has thoroughly
established himself in the confidence
and the esteem Of the people not only
Of Grenada but of the county.
He is trustworthy as a friend, hon.
est in his dealings and can be relied
upon to do what he believes to be
fair and just about all things. He is
young, but his management of his
farm in Pamela county and his hand
ling of other business matters show
that he has a wide grasp of general
conditions and it is fair to assume
that should he be chosen mayor that
he will give the Office his very best
efforts and that he will show that
energy and ability in handling the
problems of the city government that
he has shown in the conduct Of his
own affairs. Mr.. Newsom's oppo-
nents may count upon him to. be a
live wire in the campaign, and The
Sentinel believes that if elected that
he will make an acceptable official.

The following official statement
from the Pastors Association of
Grenada made by it's president to-
gether with the declaration which
follows, speak for themselves:
Some time since the pastors of the
Methodist, the Presbyterian and the
First Baptist churches of the city had
a full talk of the general condition
of the religious life of The City of
Grenada, especially in view Of the
extent to which modern worldly So
cial diversions had grown. 1t was
agreed that the ministry should make
a most vigorous protest against these
practices, warning their people Of the
dangers which were ahead Of them.
They agreed to present the matter
first to their official boards and ask
Of them their approval Of and CO.
operation in the plans they adopted
to oppose most vigorously the dance
and card playing. 1t was not thought
that; these were the only, or probably
the worst, evils -slich should call
forth their protest, but in view of the
extent to which these evils had grown
it was thought that special emphasis
SuoUiO DC iafO upon tne >t,iHBST W tiS
evangelical spirit of the church which
these practices threatened.
A uniform paper was agreed upon
by the ministers to be submitted to
their official boards for approval.
This paper is given below, and, as
will be seen, is an appeal to the MEM
bership of the churches by the pas
tors and officials of the different
churches. This paper, with some
notifications, as each pastor thought
wise to present it was unanimously
adopted by each of the three official
boards. And so they have asked that
this paper, which was the one agreed
on at the Preachers Meeting, and, in
substance the one adopted by the diff
ferent official boards, be given to The
Grenada Sentinel for publication, that
their membership may hear their ad-
monition and warning of the matters
contained therein. 1t is earnestly
hoped that this appeal from the pas
tors and official boards may have the
mast prayerful consideration of the
Christian people Of the City Of Gre
NADIA.

GRENADA HI WINS AGAIN.

We Grenada Hi boys went to Wat
er Valley Friday October 7th and
won a pretty hard fought game. The
Water Valley team was much strong
er than the one Calhoun City had
had improved about rs per cent and
piled up score of 26-0.
Grenada made two touch downs in
the first quarter. We received the
first kick off and made our first touch
down without losing the ball, Cooper
receiving a forward pass across the
goal line. Sweeney missed gal. The
next one came a few minutes later
by a series of long end runs by Pep
per and Jones and twenty-five yard
buck through the line by Sweeney
Sweeney missed the goal
The scoring then stopped for two
quarters. Grenada made first down
8 number of times and was within
Water Valleys territory all the time
but when a punch was needed to put
the ball cross the goal Water Valley
buckled down and prevented it.
By the fourth quarter the Grenada
boys had battered their opponents
line to peaces and made going at will.
Cooper scored the third touch down
from beautiful forward pass.
sweeney kicked goal Sweeney made
tie next one by twenty hard end
run and kicked goal. Johnson and
Miers showed great Improvement in
the line while Prather played stallar
bell as usual. The whole back field
played fine ball and we are expect
ing great results from the game at
Greenwood October 14th. Xxx.

AGRICULTURAL LOAN
AGENCY IS FORMED
War Finance Corporation Promises
Aid to Farmers and Live
Stock Breeders.

At meeting of the members of the
committee named by the War Finance
Corporation, held in Jackson, Monday,
October 3rd, the Agricultural Loan
Agency for Mississippi perfected or
ganization by electing Oscar Newton,
of Jackson, as Chairman, J. T. Thorn
as, of Grenada, as Vice-Chairman and
Oscar Newton, j. T. Thomas and
Frank Foote as members of the Ex-
ecutive Committee. Senator Leroy
Percy, of Greenville, and Oscar G.
Johnston, of Clarksdale, the other
two members of the committee, were
in attendance.
The organization of this Loan
Agency is another indication of the
desire of the War Finance Corpora
ton to extend it's aid and it is very
gratifying to know that those who
are directing it's affairs are interested
in helping the agricultural and live
stock i-"erests. They have already
rendered substantial aid and en-
in Mississippi and are
ready to do more along that line.
Under the plan of the War Finance
Corporation, operating through the
Agricultural Loan Agencies, banks
that have lent money for agricultural
purposes, including the growing, har-
vesting and marketing of agricultural
products or the breeding, raising, fat
tening or marketing of live stock may,
in turn, borrow money from the FL
nance Corporation, provided their
applications are acted on favorably
by the Loan Agency in their own
State. The Loan Agency can deal
only with banks direct, the purpose
of the plan being to aid banks in car
rying their agricultural loans. No
advances will be made for a longer
period than one year; and may be
extended at the option Of the Finance
Corporation.
At present the interest rate on
such advances is go per annum; how
ever, on advances for six months, not
subject to renewal and secured by
Liberty or other Government bonds
or warehouse receipts a rate of 4a &c
is offered
The Mississippi Loan Agency has
no authority to grant or reject appli
cations for advances but will make
its recommendations to the War FL
nance Corporation.
Mississippi banks that are now car
rying agricultural loans can secure
funds from the War Finance COrpor
alton that will enable them to make
further agricultural loans or loans
or other kinds and thus promote the
interests Of their community and of
the state.
George B. Power was named as
Secretary of the Committee and the
offices of the Agency will be on the
Fourth Floor Of the Capital National
Bank Building. Any inquiry address
ed to Agricultural Loan Agency,
Jackson, Mississippi. P. q. Box 344.
will receive prompt attention and
full information will be given in re-
ply.

GRENADA CO. YOUTH
ARRESTEDIN MEMPHIS
boy" Powell Is Charged With
Forgery and Bank Hold-Up in
State Of Arkansas.

While Sheriff Ben Allen, Searcy,
Ark, prepared Tuesday to take j.
l.. Powell back to Searcy on a
charge of forgery, Burns Detective
agency operatives were busy in ef-
forts to link Powell and Richard
Pembleton, youth who was in his
company when he was arrested, with
the attempted holdup and robbery
three days ago of the Bank Of Moro,
at Moro, Ark.
Meantime, as detectives were busy
with whatever clews were in their
possession, an affecting scene took
place in the Office of the Burns agen-
cy when Pembleton's father was re-
united with Ithe son whom he believed
to have been slain a week ago at
Vicksburg, Miss, his home.
Powell, whose home is at Kensett,
Ark, was arrested in South Main
Street on two charges, one of which
involved the forging of check for
$35 and the other in connection with
the forgery of a $55 check. Both
checks were made out on the Mer-
chants and Farmers Bank of Kensett.
Pembleton was with Powell when
the latter was netted by Burns op-
eratives. Investigation, the opera
tives said revealed that the two men
drove into Memphis two days ago in
a Ford car which they sold for $25.
Powell recently took part in pool
room fight at Main street and Wash
ington avenue police said.
Pembleton was thought to have
been robbed and slain at Vicksburg
recently. No charge has been placed
against him.
The above is taken from the news
columns of the News Scimitar of
October IL. The Powell referred to
is known in Grenada as "Boy" Pow
ell. He is q son of Mr.. Louis Powell
and was born in the Tatum neighbor-
hood. The Sentinel always regrets
to hear of any young mans going
wrong and more especially any one
coming from Grenada county. 1t
joins with many others in hoping that
young Powell may show himself in
nocent of the charges against him and
thst he will learn from this exper-
ience that it always pays to be care
full in choosing your company and
that every act counts for or against
a man.
