THE OLD NEST.

The home of DR.. Horace Anthem is
the average American small town
home. Mrs. Anthem is the average
Ihard-woking mother whose time and
mind are occupied with the cares of
her household and her six children
who range in age from one to four
teen years. In this home are shown
all the little comedies and tragedies
that occur in all families and that &C
into the making of a home the old
/ nest.
The. eldest son is killed in railroad
wreck. Another son grows up to be d
typical small-town sport, an idling
ol-playing, pilfering youth, whose
small thefts finally cause his father
to disown him and send him out into
the world. The eldest daughter
Kate, marmes and goes to New York
and his brother Fank goes to- Paris
to study art. Emily, the babylgrows
to womanhood at home, and after
promising never to leave mother, sud
denly elopes and goes abroad with
her young husband.
Mother is now left alone in the old
NEST. Father goes on with the hum
drum, trying life of the country doc
tor, but mother now old and care
Worn, spends all of her time in the
empty house, longing for her children
and trying to live over again the old
|memoies. Her birthday comes and
goes without the children remember
ing it until days afterward. They
are all busy with their various lives
and haven't much time to think OF
mother.
Once Tom, now & successful lawyer
telegraphs suddenly that he will he
home for a few days. There is great
excitement in the old home; Mother
prepares magnificent dinner, but
at the last moment the son wires that
business will prevent him from COM
ing. The breaking mother heart is

YOUR HEART is REACHED
THROUGH YOUR THROAT

Some one has said, and wisely, too,
that one of the very nearest ways
to a mans hear" is down his throat.
This no doubt accounts for the ease
with which The Dixie Cafe, near the
Depot in Grenada, reaches mems
hearts. It feeds them; it feeds them
.wholesomely and well. 1t makes
friends Of its patrons and they come
back to have something more sent
down their Threats and then they
come again and again and still again
and bring others with them. The
Dixie Cafe is a neat attractive place.
It is well patronized and very special
ARE and attention is given the ladies.
The Sentinel therefore is pleased to
commend this enterprise, of which MI.
r. F. Hubert is the popular proprie-
tor, and takes this opportunity to say
to Fair visitors that if you want one
Of the very best meals to be had in

SPELLING MATCH
Hon. w. A. Winter Wins Prize for
Being Best Speller. Lots
of Fun.

An old-fashioned Webster's blue
back spelling book match was staged
at the public school building in Gre
NADIA last Friday night. The house
was filled to over1owing.< The inter
est "a intense. While it is disputed
by many present day educators, yet
there just somehow fingers in the
public mind the thought that those
who learned how to spell in the
schools of a third of a century or
more ago are superior spoilers to
those of the present day. At that
time the child leanred to spell by
storing words in his head, the pres
ent day theory is that inasmuch as
the test of spelling is largely shown
in writing, that the child must write
his spelling. This fact accounted
somewhat no doubt, for the large
crowd present. Then there is a just
q bit of mirth in seeing the real
grown-ups missing words, in being
turned down."
The Captains were Mrs. Ida Camp
bell and DR.. T. J. Brown, both them
selves exceptionally good spoilers. The
selections were "a to each side. DR..
j. r. Countiss, president of Grenada
College, gave out" the words. He
began with baker, "raker", SHADY"
and those familiar words grouped
along in that part Of the old book.
Mr.. Countiss gave out "easy" words
at first and got things going, as the
old negro says, Sin a weaving way"
The first word on which one of the
spoilers went down was halo. Some
of the other words that sent spoilers
to their seats were, "%seton", "sard-
onyx" and "myrmidon".
The honor of being the last on the
floor went to Hon. w. A. Winter,
member of the lower house of the
Mississippi legislature from this coun-
ty. Mr.. Winter got a very great
part of his educational training at
the old country school where the pu-
pills were made to stand up in a row
and spell as the words came to them.
The match was enjoyed. The best
of humor prevailed and it is safe to
say that many went away with their
much refreshed on SPELL
ing. Nearly 800. was realized for
the athletic fund.

WITH COMRADE IN FRANCE
Two Years Later Beholds
Cashet With "Buddie's"
Remains.

The return of Americas dead from
overseas has been the cause of many
strange reunions, but none perhaps
more unusual than that which took
place recently in the Illinois Central
baggage room at Jackson, Miss, as
related in the October issue of ,the
Illinois Central Magazine.
L. D. Myers, night baggage agent
at Jackson, and James w. Nash, a
young planter at Tchula, Miss, were
"buddies" in the Hath Infantry.
29th Division. In the Argonne in
October, 1918, Nash was killed not
twenty feet away from Myers. After
the war Myers returned to Jackson
and resumed hts duties with the Hi
nois Central. The other evening
when he came to work, his attention
was first taken by a coffin draped with
the Stars and Stripes. He looked for
the name. To his startled gaze there
appeared: "James w. Nash, Private,
Company l, Hath Infantry"
"The buddy who had fallen by his
side three years BEFORE" the maya
zine goes on to say, "had come home
to be buried in Jackson, in beautiful
Cedarlawn cemetery, guarded on his
long journey by a detail from head
quarters and covered with the flag
for which he had given his all.
"The world is small indeed. From
the Argonne Forest to Jackson, Miss.
is a long journey; yet it was not too
far for many of u boys to travel
when Freedom called, nor was it too
far for a parental government to car
ry back the body of one whose pa
rents desired that he should lie in the
soil Of his native land"

Beautiful started the Boys and Girls
Pig and Corn Clubs. And as it re-
quires about 20 bushels of corn to
raise a two hundred and fifty pound
hog, and that corn will require on an
average about seventy-fve cents per
bushel to produce it. But Calhoun
City is educating her boys and girls
at a cost of less than $2.70 per month
per pupil, and that includes teachers
salaries, lights, fuel, water, and IL
brary fees. And with outside pupils
admitted free of any charge, I think
that Prof. Ellard has set a precedent
that the schools of the entire State,
yes, ever the nation, would do well
to copy.
Most people think that taxes are
too high, but none dispute the fact
that good schools, good teachers, good
crops, and then good roads over which
to haul the produce to market, will
build the county back to a business
basis, that cannot be hurt by fnan-
cial tlurries o. pre-war talk.

LEFT OUT OF
FAIR CATALOC
Of Interest to An. Prizes for Horse
back Riding and Other
Items.

Through oversight on the part of
the committee some things failed tC
appear in the issue of the Fair cata-
log of the Grenada Fair.
One thing that appeals especially
to the ladies is the prize that is given
for the best lady horseback rider. The
Association will present to the lady
who is judged to be the best rider a
cash prize of Five Dollars; to the Sc
cond best will be given $3.50 in
cash. There are some excellent
horsewomen in Grenada and the Fair
District and this should appeal to
them.
The gentlemen have not been
sighted, either, in the matter of re-
wards for Craftsmanship. To the
best gentleman rider will be given a
cash prize Of $500 and the second
best will receive a handsome bride
donated by w. H. Kirk. Several
have already signifed their intentions
of entering this event and a close
contest is promised.
An aviator will be here with his
machine and will give daily flying ex-
hibitions ove the fair grounds. He
will make a 1000 foot drop from his
machine in a parachute and many
thrills are assured the spectators.
There will be on exhibit four diff
ferent varieties of p~heasants and var
ious breeds of poultry. The pea
cocks will excite admiration in those
who view these proud and naughty
birds.
The mule ace each day will no
doubt afford a barrel of fun to the
onlookers. One can never tell what
a mule is going to do. If he is ex-
pected to go forward, he is very
likely to go backward. The winner
of the mule ace each day will re-
a purse, which, of course will
not be as large as in other races, but
will be worth contesting for.
One who lives anywhere near Gre
NADIA should not fail to attend the
Fair each day.

AS the night shades were falling,
we motored back to childhood scenes
of Mr.. Provine, and our talk drifted
from business life to school days; and
so l must tell about Calhoun City's
Public School, with a faculty of 81
teachers, and an enrolment of 276
pupils. Now there is something
wonderful about this High School.
1t has had a steady growth from the
opening session; and now as they
teach to the twelfth grade, the school
has a~filiation with any College or
University in the State. Among the
studies, music, with all its charms,
is taught; and from the teacher of
kindergarten to Prof. j. A. Eliard,
Superintendent, the school is running
smoothly, like a piece of well oiled
machinery. But the thing caused me
to sit up and take notice OF this
school, was the teacher whom Prof.
Ellard had appointed to a work that

South. This teachers duty is not
to teach classes, but to help the indi-
viduals, viz, the backward boy or girl,
and, by so doing, instill into the
school that education is what the chill

a helping hand to these pupils, marks
the dawn of enlightment for better
things in Calhoun.
