QUESTION OF TAXES AND
ASSESSMENTS TO BE AIRED
eetg called For Grenada Next Saturday. December 10th to
Discuss High Taxes and to Protest Against Heavy
Public Expenditures

Inere has been more or less agita-
ton throughout the state over the
assessments and high tax levies, and
Grenada County has among her citi-
zenshlp very large number Of citi-
zens, many of them among her larg-
est taxpayers and most representative
citizens, who are by far from being
pleased at the amount of taxes being
collccted. In man counties during
the past eight or ten months, there
nave been large gatherings of people
VINO nave come together to enter pro-
test and sound a business warning
as to the Onerous burdens of taxes.
This is a government of and by the
people and they have a right to
peacefully assemble and discuss, and
protest if they want to, against any
public policy where such protest
does not give aid or comfort to an
enemy government.
1t appears from the call, which ap-
pears below, that it has been deter
mined to give Grenada County tax
payers an opportunity to express
themselves on the matter of taxes
and public expenditures.
The following call is being circu.
lated in Grenada County for a tax
payers meeting, to be held in Grena-
Ga to protest against the present tax
rate and heavy public expenditures:
I'VE, the undersigned citizens of
Grenada County, believing in a Demo-
cratic government, and that it is the
duty of the people to make their wants
known as to public questions, and
Hl1fvy af
TO lend attentive ears to the wishes
and the demands of their constituents,
and feeling that the present rate of
based on assessed prop
,rty values, is more than burdensome.
n many cases amounting to almost
'onflscatlon, we, property owners,
hereby take the liberty of calling a
public meeting of the citizens of Gre
lada County at the courthouse in Gre
lada, Saturday, Dec. 10, 1921, at
loon, for the purpose of conferring
ogether of this very important mat
er. We believe that we herein ex-
'ress the sentiment of 80 per cent
+ the taxpayers of Grenada County,
nd we believe that wneh this meet
ng is held that positive declarations
S to the situation that confronts our
eOple will be made. There must be
cut, and an important one, in pub
C expenditures"
The above bears the signatures of
'. r. Baker, ]. F. Thomerson, H. M.
arker, j. w. Vance, E. C. w. Wright
nd sundry others.
The people from every part of the
ounty should attend, and if they are
ltisfied with the present tax levy
nd assessment, say so, and if dis
atisfied, give public expression to
leir complaint.

Commission at Jackson to promise
Grenada County's cooperation with
the federal government in road build

county IN the allotment made. The
Sentinel congratulates these gentle
men and the county as we'll and hopes
that every dollar will be wisely and
spent. 1t is understood that
much of this last allotment will he

merce, to put on Dollar Sale for
six days.
Not only are very remarkable
low prices to be given IN this sale
on much staple merchandise ARTICLES
and commodities that will almost
startle to be sold for only One Dol

cided to go still further and show
their appreciation of the trade by
giving 5000. in cash premiums; forty
dollars for each of the first five days
of the safe in three premiums of
$25., $40, and $5, but on the last
or sixth day of the sale, Ford Tour
ing Car is to be given away. Thus
with the two hundred dollars and the
Ford car, it means that the merchants
of Grenada are going to present to
those who trade with them on that
day practically $3.50. in addition to
offering merchandise at low prices.
Tickets will be given with each dollar
cash purchase and with every dollar
paid on account. The customer will
find place on each ticket for his
name and post office address so that
he may be notified, if not present,
when premiums are awarded.
Grenada merchants are not un-
mindful of the conditions that con-
front the country and are putting on
these values and offering this re-
markable amount in premiums in
order to help the trade out.
Trade Week should be memorable
week in the history of the business
life of Grenada. The premiums add
zest and ginger to the affair. 1t will
do everybody who gets a ticket good

MISS LULU BETT."

Emma Bunting in Miss Lulu Bett''
at the Grenada Opera House Wednes-
day night was enjoyed thoroughly
by every one in the audience. Miss
Bunting, in the leading role, capti-
waited the audience from the start
and her portrayal of "Miss Lulu
Bett' was entertaining and clever
all the way through. Daisy Reming-
ton Hines, as Mrs. Bett, kulu's moth
er, was by no mans the least import
ant character in the play. Her quaint
sayings and the fact that she always
said what she thought were highly
amusing to those in the audience. Her
part as the old lady was played to
perfection.

and the railroads, but between the
railroad employees and the United
States.
The strikers. the executives believe
will find arrayed against them the
government, the railroads and the pub
lie sentiment of the United States.
Hundreds of thousands of veteran
railroad employees, they assert, will
disobey the strike call. refusing to en-
danger their pension privileges in the
adventure ordered by their leaders.
At present one railroad man or more
is out of work, it is asserted. for every
one at work. 1t was predicted that
there would be rush by laidoff men
to get their jobs back. @E
Further than that it was predicted
that a great number of local lodges
of the brotherhoods would officially
deny. the validity of the strike order
and instruct their men to remain at
work.
Railroad employees, it also was con-
tended, do not possess the all-power-
full weapon they had in other strikes,
because the development of the auto
mobile and automobile truck has in
sured the country of its food supply
even if the railroad strike were 100
per cent successful.

the railroads pay all the taxes that
the traffic can bear, but their compet-
itors on the highways have roads built
for them at the public expense, and
they get off with normal license fee

The highways were built to attract

BRADY SEEKING
FOR EVIDENCE
OF. JOY PARTIES

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 19.-To learn
the details of any wild parties" which
may have been given in Los Angeles
and vicinity by Roscoe FATTY" Ar
buckle District Attorney Matthew
Brady, of San Francisco, and his as
sistant, /. M. Golden, arrived here to-
day.
Anticipating that the defense will
seek to break the force of the man.
slaughter charge against Arbuckle in
connection with the death of Virginia
Rappe by making a strong showing
in Arbuckle's behalf through charac-
.ex witnesses, District Attorney
BMdy is seeking testimony with which
to combat such move.
This was indicated when the an
Francisco prosecutor said today that
he would welcome any information
that any person had to give him e
garding parties given by Arbuckle in
and near Los Angeles, and thai all
such information would be rega" led
as strictly confidential. Brady is reg
istered at the Alexandria hotel.
While Mr.. Brady declined to go into
any detail regarding his case against
Arbuckle his manner suggested con-
fidence that he would be able to con-
vict Arbuckle of the manslaughter
charge, which originated following the
death of Miss Rape, who had been
Arbuckle's guest in the latter's apart
ments in San Francisco hotel.
"Of course no one can tell what a
jury will do" said Mr.. Brady. but he
smiled as if he felt no concern in the
case under his discussion.
That he faces one of the most diff
cult cases in his career, Mr.. Brady
realizes clearly, for Gavin McNab an
nounced some days ago that he had
been retained to take charge of Ar,
buckles defense. McNab is consider
ed one of the states most eminent law
yerS.
