TRADE week ANDBIC
THINGS OFFERED
Those Who Do Not Come Will Be Ask
ing Maud To Get in Action.
Big Premiums Given.

1t is always well, according to
homely philosophy, to strike while the
iron is hot, but it is likewise well to
make the iron hot by striking. This
seems to be about the situation that
confrOnts this trade territory regard
ing the One Dollar Trade Week Sale
at Grenada which began yesterday,
Thursday and will close next We'd.
nesday afternoon, December 14tl.
The goods are here. They are being
advertised at prices that Grenada
merchants say are low, and in addi-
tion to these very attractive prices,
there are to be three premiums given
each of the first five days of the sale
which total $40. and on Wednesday,
the last day of the sale, the Ford
Touring Car is to be given. These
premiums make valuable donation
to those who trade in Grenada during
the sale. Five dollars, the smallest
premium, is a very nice pickup; ten
dollars, the second premium is bet
ter and $25. is still better and the
Ford Touring car is very much bet
ter.
Now then, Mr.. or Miss or Mrs.
Reader, as the case may be, if you
were to know that Memphis would
make 16 people from this territory
present of 5000. and a Ford car,
tomorrow, how many of you would
jump the train and go there? That is
just what Grenada is going to do. 1t
will cost anybody less to come to
Grenada than to go to Memphis, be-
sides you get goods for less money
and here you will be among people
who know you and who are your
friends. So the common sense Of
the matter is COME TO GRENADA
DURING TRADE WEEK and get
some of the tickets. If you do not
come, after the sale is over, some
grouchy man will feel that his wife
ought to pull his hair or that he ought
to turn his back on Maud and let her
do the rest.
Besides these trade attractions, a
man will f1irt with death Saturday,
December 10th by walking. wire
stretched from one building to an
other on the public square so feet
above the ground. He will sit down
on the wire in chair and do other
stunts that will startle and thrill
those who always appreciate the dar-
ng.

COUNTY TEACHERS AP-
PRECIATE GRENADA SCHOOL
Editor Sentinel:

Editor Sentinel
Will you be kind enough to give
me space to express the appreciation
of the teachers of the white schools
of Grenada County, outside Of the
town of Grenada, of the day we
spent at the Graded School in your
city observing the work of the teach
ers? Assuming that you will, / am
proceeding.
| want to say, in the first place,
that we were more than pleased with
what we saw and almost marvel at
the very splendid organization of
the Grenada School We feel that
we are very much benefited by the
day and that we shall make better,
more earnest and more efficient teach
ers and that we shall more fully real
lze the sacred task we have of not
only directing the minds of those we
teach but that we shall better under
stand the power and force of the ex-
ample we are setting before the chill
dren under our care.
We cannot fail to express our ap-
probation of the thoughtfulness of
the Parent-Teachers' Association in
looking after our entertainment in
their homes and of the very delight
full meals served US. Fellowship and
personal contact means much to all,
and the thoughtfulness of the splen-
did women of the Parent Teachers
Association Of Grenada will go a long
way to keep the memories of Dec. 2,
1921, verdant in our minds.
Miss Dolores Doolittle.
Mrs. G. B. Middleton,
of the Committee for teachers.

TO LOOK AFTER .
DISABLED SOLDIERS
Cleanup Squad to Round Up All
Whose Service in The War
Brought Affliction.

The Cleanup Squad, sen out by
government agencies, the Red Cros!
and the American Legion arrives in
Grenada, Miss, on December ID, 1921
and will establish headquarters al
Court House. The squad will re.
main here December 14th only, dur
ing which time, the members will
work with one end in view and that
end is to get in touch with every ex-
service man who has a claim against
the government, and set in motion
the machinery to get quick and salts
factory adjustment of the claim.
The paramount idea of the Clean
Up Squad is to cut red tape that
has pl evented hundreds of disabled
veterans and eX-service men in gen
eral from receiving the cOmpensa-
tion that the government is glad to
give. In this work the Red Cross and
the Legion have every assurance from
the government of complete and
whole hearted cooperation.
Under the plan of campaign, the
Squad composed of experts who are
thoroughly familiar with every de-
tail of the workings of the War Risk
Insurance Act and the Vocational Re-
Mobilization Act, will get in personal
tOuci4 with every man who has
claim or who thinks he may have
claim, take up his case as an individ-
ual proposition, avoid lengthy and
nerve wrecking correspondence-and
get results.
With that thought in view -he
Squad will visit centers in every
state in the Southeast and before the
campaign is concluded, every county
in the section will be covered. 1t is
believed that by bringing this oppor-
tunity right to the doors of the vet
erans every man entitled to compen-
sation, will get it and get it speedily.
The squad furnishes the big oppor-
tunity for the veteran to have
Strengthened out all his difficulties of
compensation and vocational training
and medical treatment right at home.
1t is, as well, the chance Of many to
find out if they have claims and if
they have, to get them filed properly,
SO that response will be satisfactory.
While the squad is here, it will
take up in addition to the affairs of
local veterans, the affairs Of ex-ser-
vice men in Grenada County.

MINIS ON FEDERAL GRAND JURY

Mr.. S. c. Minis spent several days
in Oxford this week where he served
on the federal grand jury. Mr.. Minis
states that the grand jury returned
~ true bills, and, that under the
order of the court, it took a recess
until the 18th day of April, next, at
which time it is to resume its delibera-
tions the same as if it had only re-
cessed for a day or two.
Mr.. Minis is one of Grenada Coun-
ty's best citizens. He is high-class
man in every respect and stands un-
equivocally for those things which
he deems best for society and the fu-
ture of the commonwealth.

SHOWER FOR BRIDE-ELECT.

The ladies of the Grenada Public
school faculty were delightfully."- en-
tertained at the home of Miss Lizzie
Horn, Saturday afternoon, December
l3. The occasion was a miscellaneous
shower given by Misses Horn and
Vickers honoring the popular BRIDE
elect, Miss Hester Dorsey.
The guests enjoyed several con-
tests appropriate for the occasion,
one of the most interesting being
"The Flower Wedding" in which
Misses McCracken and Cook were the
successful contestants. In the gossip
ing contest the prize went to Misses
Oden and Cook, who were the only
ones present discreet enough to keep
silent.
The beautiful and appropriate
gifrts were presented to the BRIDE
elect in rather unique manner. She
was given a card on which was writ
ten in verse direction for finding
the first of the gifts which were
cleverly concealed about the living
room. On each gift was a similar
card indicating the hiding place of
the next package. The final search
revealed to the happy honoree a note
expressing the love and good wishes
of those present.
After the guests had instructed the
bride-elect as to Chow to manage a
Husband and she in turn had given
them the secret of "How to Catch a
Husband" delicious refreshments
were served by Mrs. Tucker and Mrs.
Welker.
Miss Dorsey, in her charming and
gracious manner, expressed her an
probation of the thoughtfulness of
her friends present.
While regretting that one of the
most talented and popular teachers is
to sever her connection with the
school, the guests were unanimous in
The opinion that it is indeed for
,unate man who has won the affection
md confidence of one so capable and
oveable as Miss Dorsey. Xxx
