DONALD WoODFORD
AGAIN CHAMPION
Awarded Senior and Grand Champion
ship At Tri-State Fair Over Many
Other Entries.

The following extract from a news
item in Wednesdays Commercial APP
peal should interest Grenada Coun-
tians:
A Hereford show that in size and
quality rivalled the famous Interna-
tional at Chicago, was the outstand-
ing event in the opening of the live
stock shows at the Tri-State Fair yes
terday. So large were the rings that
it was impossible to complete the
judging in a day. The junior female
classes, the female sweepstakes and
the herd events will be judged this
morning.
The exceptionally fine herds Of
beef animals were lined up before
Carl Giltner, of Eminence, KY, judge
of the show, and none in the arena
envied the Kentuckian his job of
placing the animals according to their
individuality.
Honors in the bull classes were d-
vided equally among the 10 exhib-
itors, so evenly were the herds
matched. But John Borden's herd
from Glenwild Plantation at Grenada,
Miss, seemed to have the edge on
the field.
Donald Woodford," a splendidly
|propOrtiOned animal of 2,300 pounds,
from the Glenwild herd, was crowned
senior and grand champion Hereford
bull, dual honor which this wonder
ful sire won at the Illinois, Iowa,
Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee
State Fairs. Any bull that can walk
away with such high honors in corn
belt shows stands a mighty good
chance to sweep to the crest of the
Hereford breed at Chicago in Decem-
ber
E. E. Mack & Son, of Thomasville,
Ga, showed the junior champion
Hereford bull with Bonnie J. Ill"
but the youngster was no match for
the two-year old Mississippi monster
from Glenwild Plantation for the
grand championship.
In winning the senior grand cham
pionship. the Glenwild entry was
forced to defeat remarkably aged
bull from the Bonner Stock Farm at
Hartford City, Ind The Bonner con-
tender is Bullion Garfield" and
stacked up well against the Grenada
winner.

COLORED SCHOOLS OPEN

Editor Sentinel:
Please allow me space 10 mention
the opening Of the colored public
school in Grenada and TO say some
thing Of the work that has been done
so far. A good start makes bad
ending" has no place in our minds
about our school for thus far the
school has had & good start and good
ending IS expected. The opening
morning marked this good beginning
when the new principal, Prof. w. w.
Blackburn, OF Port Gibson, once Pro-
fCssor at AlcOrn &. & VI. College ma lie
the opening talk which was the key
note Of MS purposed administration.
He then turned the program over 10
Prof. John Rundle who made some
very earnest remarks after which Mr.
Mckibben, the highly respected coun-
ty superintendent, Rev. Mr.. Farr and
one of the trustees made short 2d-
dresses.
Many expressions OF thanks have
been heard OF Mr.. Rundle for secur-
ing a leader and educator Gas no one
is known 20 be dissatisfed) TO head
our school and continue the good
work.
The new regulations are very pro-
gressive and are being kept by the
pupils as whole without any trouble.
Parents should aid in making the
discipline the best in history. This
can be done by not allowing their
children 20 be violators of any rule.
Over 500 have enrolled. All pes
s;mists are dead and only the hopeful
remain. So let as prove worthy of
the attention gwen our school by the
trustees.

We are staying with Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. ". Grayson at 1886 West Beach
Bilox;. They are most elegant
family. We we're fortunate indeed
IN getting located with them. They
are just like Grenada people and
would 1T in well at Grenada.
We had the privilege and the pleas
ure of hearing Rev. Z. A. DeMiller
preach Sunday night at the church
Of the Nativity in Biloxi. He and
his lovely wife are deservedly making
many friends here and Mr.. DeMiller
is very properly regarded as one of
the aDlest ministers on the coast.
In view of the fact that there is
being so much said and written about
the dearth of young men going into
the ministry nowadays, 1t will no
doubt be interesting to Methodist
folks in north Mississippi to know
that the presiding elder at the Metho-
dist church in Biloxi stated Sunday
that his district would license sixty
Young men for the Christian ministry
this year.
Mrs. L. L. Scruggs has lovely
home on the beach in Biloxi and is
the same gracious, kind, thoughtful
and obliging good woman. She has
with her at this time the lovely Miss
Sarah Gwin, also the inimatable
"Piker" Penn.
Miss Carrie Doty is regarded as
one of the very best teachers in the
Biloxi High School. She is making
her home this year with Rev. E. A.
DeMiller and family.

ing at Pass Christian. She boards at

1t has been awfully hot he~e and the
mosquitoes have simply been wore

mosquitoes were blown here from the

like the delta, bayou mosquito. More

The Sentinel has been requested
to announce that one day during the
Fair, the local chapter of the Kings
Daughters will have a Tag Day for
the benefit of the State work of this
organization, especially for the State
Home at Natchez. The Kings
Daughters have been doing some
work in the state and any
sponsored by them should
receive liberal and hearty support.
and then with the democrats in state
elections should be stopped. A man
or woman has the right to choose
his party, but has no right to play
both parties. | think steps should
be taken to test the real democracy of
every man who offers to vote in the
next primary.
1--WE are delighted with the coast.
am glad to see a closer relationship
is being brought about between the
coast and the other sections Of the
state. You have a veritable garden
spot here, and it is destined to rival
the most favored parts of California"

JUST FOLKS

By EDGAR A. GUEST.

THE LUCKLESS FISHERMAN.
They laughed when 1 came homie last night
And said I didn't get bite.
They snickered an they joked at me,
And all the fellows asked to see
The one I'd caught. Ohio. :" said they,
Hes been out fishing all this day
An hasn't caught single thing,
He never got a fish TO string"
They laughed at me, but all their jeers
Travelled no further than my ears
Twas true I'd fisAed all day without
Sharing a single speckled trout
But what of that? I'd had a day
That I could loaf and dream away
And been as care-free as the breeze.
I'd rested wheresoe'er I'd willed,
To me the hum of trade was stilled
I'd let my thoughts go wandering far
To where life's happier glories are;
I'd whistled like boy once more,
And even stretched full length on shore
To watch the white clouds sail the blue,
The very way 1 used to do.
They laughed when came home at night
And said didn't get 4 bite.
They seemed to think my luck was bad
They couldn't guess the fun I'd had
And couldn't know that all that day
I'D been a free man. blithe and gay
And tho Of fish I'd landed none -
I'D caught the joys for which I'd gone
