Is THERE A MORAD SLUMP?

The civilizations OF all periods have had their
critics Socrates. by his attempts rouse persuade
and rebuke," made things hot for the Athenians
and was in consequence condemned TO death.
Juvenal has left a sordid picture Of the vices
which marked the beginning of the decadence OF
imperial Rome. The New Testament gives no fat

civilization should escape free. has, in

DEATH BLOW TO BONUS.

Any hopes that this country would reward its
defenders by bonus other plan goes gHmmering
with the open declaration OF Prest Harding at At
lantic City that II so much concerned with
those who came out Of the war unmpaired."
Those who served may be satisfied with the senti-

had no choice about going or who volunteered

WHERE GOVERNMENT FAILS

There are 10000 men who saw service in the
American army asking for farms-And only 4ss
farms available lands reclaimed by irriga-
ton.
. Moreover, there have been 1915 other in
quiries for information about the farms which
offered IN lieu OF bonus to the who served.
Couple this fact with the statement OF the labor
department that there six million unemployed
in this country you have the perfect picture OF
failure OF government TO function in important
matters.
The greatest asst that this country can have Is
farm production. 1t IS valuable for much more
than the food It produces Il Il the history Of all
civilization that those nations which have pre-
ponderance OF farm population continue in history
This country will be prosperous long It
raises food and clothing IN excess of it's own de-
mands. equal to It's demands It cannot so
continue unless untitled lands are brought into cul-
tivation
The price OF battleship would construct dams
and build cement zanjeros sufficient irrigate
thousands OF acres.
There are men who have idle time There
ready to go 10 these farms. There vast
that be reclaimed.
There is opportunity for some government
official to through the red tape and that
the real objective Is reached.

YES, SHE'S SINGLE

Quite literature is being built up these days on
the question whether women shall keep the
names they were born with after their marriages
The latest contributor is Miss Margaret wilson
daughter OF the former president. singer Of some
professional reputation.
Miss Wilson. who has a profession and as yet
no husband believes that the woman in a profess
sion business career should by all means keep
her own and that in private life. it doesn't
matter much what the takes. And
that goes for her with both professional and
professional women. Here Is her argument:
Women doctors milliners dressmakers, and so
forth cannot afford TO put in their win
dows or in the telephone books after they are
ried. fo- evident 1t is plainly a practical
necessity for professional to keep the
they have made for themselves" and their right TO
do should be unquestioned their right to
engage in professions
1T does not seem to to matter what either
the professional or non-professonal woman is called
in private life A personality will live
ter with what name II Is associated.
Some argue it for the psychological effect
on the woman herself thet she should be urged 20
keep the name she has grown up with. Surely If
need our names 70 support our self-respect and
sense OF individual worth. we weaklings indeed
There are many women, however who are far from
being weaklings who sincerely believe that there is
a principle involved here. I see reason why
these women should not retain their maiden
names"
Against that day when the propaganda may win
the point for which many women striving. there
should be a plank in the platform of feminists
TO the source Of supply of names for women
Win those married women who marry and
the race-for these serious minded will not
contemplate an end Of the world with themselves
and the generation Of their victory-bequeath their
own names TO their children will the father be
permitted the privilege OF handing down to pos
terity his sppelation?
VIII daughters take the names OF the mother and
sons the names Of the father?
VIII it be common in the future to Print notices
OF susy Brown and her brother John Jones7
or will there be a further effort IN the OF
freedom and emancipation by which each child
reaching maturity may pick his and her own name?
This is a fast moving world. These questions 81
seemingly foolish today may be the basic planks in
political platforms tomorrow.

This is the newest Lincoln story told now by the
reporter himself in an article in the Mentor maya

In summer weather
We've been together,

We've gone the PAGES
At mountain places
And sandy spaces
Along the shore.
When moonlight shimmered
And bright eyes glimmered
And my heart simmered
With fancies rare,
When roguish glances
Besought advances
And brought romanccs-
Well, you were there.
Cn city highways
And country byways
Your ways were my ways
And you held true;
BY you attended
My days were splendid
But. summers ended.
Goodby TO you!
And shall we sever
Perhaps forever
No, I'll endeavor
To sidestep that:
I'll block and clean you
And on my bean. you
Shall sit next summer
As you have sat;
And those who seen you
Will gaze thereat
And say, "A hummer!"
For when l show you
They'll never know you

pastor of the Central Baptist church,
marriage VOWS We're said uniting Mr..
Louie Angevine, now Of Senatobia,
and Miss Lucy Mitchell, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. +. w. Mitchell in Gre
NADIA. The wedding was a su prise
affair, though there were no parental
objections. The groom is a son of
Mrs. Ida Angevine of this county,
and is a young man of dependable
character. He is tull of initiative and
has that pluck and push as well as
discretion to make a real success in
life. His father, Mr.. Allen Angevine,
died some twenty years ago. Both
his father and mother were at one
time pupils of q school taught by the
Editor of this paper, and so also was
the brides mother. Mr.. Angevine is
filling a responsible position with the
railroad. Mrs. Angevine is a young
woman of refinement and is happily
endowed with those graces of charac-
ter and person which make her. much
admired.

d. S. ANNETTE SEEKS
A REELECTION

' Mr.. D. S. Amyette, who was elected
in the early part Of this yea- to fill
out the unexpired term of E. C..
Lamb, deceased, as City Treasurer,
seeks a reelection at the hands Of the
voters of Grenada, and his name may
be found in the announcement col
umn of this issue of The Sentinel.
Mr.. Amyette is OLE of the great
line of Confederate soldiers, of whom
but few r left today to tell the
story of that great war. The lines
are dimming fast, but it is a matter
upon which Mississippi, indeed the
entire South, can point to with patri-
otto pride and that is that she has
never yet failed to take off her hat
and give to the Veterans of the Lost
Cause the best under the circum-
stances that could be done for them.
Aside from Mr.. Amyette's service
as a soldier, a thing that he always
refers to with becoming modesty, he
has been an honest, faithful and up
right citizen, meeting every obliga-
ton with the best light before him.
He is dependable in all things and is
deeply sensible of every kindness
shown him. Should he be chosen to
succeed himself, the citizenship of
Grenada may rest assured that inso-I
far as he is concerned, every dollar
Of public money will be properly |
handled and faithfully accounted
for. The Sentinel commends his can
to the fair consideration of the
voters of Grenada.

AIRMEN PLAY MANY
STUNTS DURING FAIR

The air conquerers, the men with
the airship, who were here during the
Fair fingered for a few days after the
Fair and they Carried up" quite a
goodly number.
C.. w. Morgan. or as he calls him.
self dare Devil Morgan, was the
name of the man who jumped out of
the machine and came down in a para
chute the last day of the Fair. He
stated that he jumped at a height of
about 1000 feel. On being asked by
a Sentinel representative why he did
not come down in the Fair ground, he
replied that my parachute was made
out Of silk and that had I struck the
ground anywhere where that throng
was gathered that people would have
been taking hold Of the parachute
and perhaps walked on it and other
wise damaged it." The pilot was
Lieutenant Wolf.
Morgan stated that his home was
at Relay, Miss, that he was born at
Pekin, ILL.,, and that his parents moved
to Jackson. Miss, and thence to East
Mississippi at Relay. His father, he
stated, is dead but he said his mother
is living but that she did not know
that he was flying around in an air
and jumping from one airship
to another, otherwise should protest
so vigorously that he would quit. He
that he entered the Service |
after the beginning of the
war. That he was in the messenger
and that his motor "went
dead" when he was about 1000 feet
in the air in Paris just after the
close Of the war, that his ship fell
and broke both of his legs in two
below and above the knee.
Morgan is enthused over his
achievement in the air. He delights
talk about .airships and airship
and has every appearance of
,eing a pretty straight, square think
ng young man. He. manifested a
'ery high regard for his mother and
rery often spoke of her.
One of his stunts here was to get
m top of the aeroplane and ride
While the machine is doing stunts
hundreds of feet in the air.
Grenada really enjoyed the visit of
hese gentlemen. The latch string is
'ut to them and The Sentinel feels
ure that it is voicing the sentiment
# the community in hoping that they
will not go up in the air once too
much and especially that "Dare Devil
may play safe on all his
tunts. Come back to the 1922 Fair,
