! 'katcha- Hoo" which was present

last Friday afternoon and night
under the auspices of the Parent

arce Red Guidry, in the leading
roi, and William Wright and William
Penn, as the two Americans. kept the
audience in constant up-oar by
their superb comedy acting.
William Wright and Miss Lois Ma
lor. in their song, Tell Ne Why You
Love Me-, captivated their listeners
and received a generous share of aD-
plause. One of the pretty features
was the veil dance by eight Grenada
College girls and the solo dance by
Miss Evelyn Catoe. If the real Ma
harajah could have seen these young
ladies in all their grace and beauty
he would have most assuredly desired
20 add them to his string of dancing
girls. But by far the prettiest spec
tacle of the etnire play was the
finale Liberty Afame," in which the
little tots took part. They were the
most natural and unassuming parti-
cipants on the stage and carried out
their parts without a bobble.
Miss Robinson, the director. was
ably assisted during rehearsals and in
arranging all details by Mesdames

APPROXIMATE AMOUNT
PAID FOR BRIDGES
$oS,OOO Paid for Bridges Alone in
1920 Besides Accounts for Roads
and Bridges. Big Problem.

1t will no doubt be recalled that
The Sentinel published some weeks
ago lin issue of March ~ the total
expenditures for roads and bridges
in Grenada county for the year. 1920.
which was $182,927.48 of which. at
that time, $lO6,227.47 was unpaid.
In view Of the recent heavy rains
and the damages caused thereby to
| bridges, which will cause the public
to demand of the Board of Super
vlsors some further unusual and un-
expected expenditures for bridges.
and thinking that it would be a mat
ter that the supervisors would like
to have in condensed form before
them, and that the public generally
would be interested in the total
bridge expenditures for the same
pe1Od, the writer ran hurriedly over
this week the proceedings of the
board of supervisors for 1920 land
for the months of January, Febru-
ary and March, 1921 for the reason.
as this paper understands. some of
the 1920 accounts were not paid un
til March, 1921 because of the fact
that there were no funds) which show
a total expenditures for bridges alone
of S5S,52S.41. OF this amount, sac
247.S9 was paid to the Larrimer
Burgett Bridge Co., iron bridge /
builders, and the remainder or Sl2.-
2S0.50 to sundry parties. II it be |
an error to include March 1927 pay
ments in the above. then S9.154.59 |
should be deducted from amount paid
Larrlmer Burgett Bridge Co.. and |
81 .3O2.Ol to sundly parties.
1t might be stated that the above
figures do not include many allow
ances for road and bridge work.
which was paid in one warrant and.

'lude two or three small items for

Editor Sentinel.

Editor Sentinel
In your issue of April Sth appear
ed a communication over the sigma
ture of Mr.. j. l.. Townes, who live.
near Hardy, one of the oldest anC
most worthy citizens of the county
Mr.. Townes makes some observa-
tons about not having had all his
taxes listed on one receipt, or at the
time he paid. In other words, he
states that he paid his taxes, realty,
and that later the claim was made
against him that some of his person
Glty was not paid. He is correct, but
l respectfully suggest to him that
the fault was not ours. Mr.. TOwnes'
son living in Arkansas wrote here for
= list of his taxes and ! be-
Ieve 1t was he that paid them. |
have not seen Mr.. Townes about the
sheriff $ office in many day, in fact
j do not recall having even seen him
IN Grenada for years. In some way,
his tax list was made out originally
under two names, j. l.. TOwnes and
j. {. ToWneS. This error, if it was
any officials error, was not made in
the sheriff's office. Furthermore, the
tax payer usually knows about the
list of property that he is to pay on.
and so advises the sheriff Indeed
we have known It 10 happen many
times in the years gone by. that large
real estate holders, men regarded as
being well posted about their lands. |
in furnishing the sheriff with a list !
Cf their land would overlook some !
where it was in different townships !
or IN a different range. In the rush |
and hurry incident To making out
tax receipts. IL is easy TO see how an
error Is made, especially where the
party paying does not apprise the
officer of what he owns.
OF course was sorry TO have TO
list Mr. Townes among the number
who failed To pay on or before Feb
ruary !, but | had no alternative in
the matter. And in view of the fact
already referred to as to his initials,
one can see how easily the matter got
confused.
/ would not have given Mr.. TowneS'
communication any attention but for
the fact of my profound respect for
him and that several have rather
iocularly referred to it, / am sure
