MISS ESTELLE ROLLINS THE
FIRST LADY TO ANNOUNCE

Miss Estelle Rollins is the first lad,
in Grenada or Grenada County t.
seek an official position, and The Sen
tInel enjoys the distinction of formal
~ presenting the candidacy of tn,
first lady in Mississippi to the voters
She seeks the Office Of City Recorder
s Miss Rollins holds somewha,
unique position in the life of Grenada
To her may be aseribed the distinc.
ton of being the first lady born anC
reared in Grenada to enter the busi.
ness world as means of earning a
livelihood for, not only herself. but
for her mother and her sister who
more or less relied upon her up until
the time of their death.
She studied stenography and first
began work in Memphis, later COM
ing to Grenada where she became
the personal stenographer of Mr.. J.
/. Thomas, president of the Grenada
Bank, which position she held until
she took what is termed "writer's
.cramp." She then entered the cleri-
cal department of the Bank. In all
these places she has acquitted her
self well and met the demands of
her employer. Therefore there is not
the least extravaganza in saving that
she is well qualified for the position
she seeks, and her faithful execution
of other equally delicate and complex
duties warrant the statement that, if
elected, she will fill the office of Re-
corder with credit to herself. to
womanhood and with entire satisfac-
tion to the public.
To Miss Rollins credit it can truth
fully be stated that her association
with the business world has not
marred her department as a lady.
There is none of the masculine about
her. She has the happy faculty of
greeting everybody with smile and
OF saying the gracious and pleasing
thing. While she has gone at her
work always in a good humor and met
every duty pleasantly, yet her life
has been somewhat arduous one for
the reason that much of the time she
has been a sort of breadwinner for
others OF her household, and she
could not afford to take a vacation
even If she had the opportunity and
desired it.
The Sentinel feels that the voters
OF Grenada will take all these mat
ters into consideration and that they
Will cast their ballots for the candi-
dates seeking this position thought
fully. If Miss Rollins realizes her
she can be relied upon to
make an accommodating and efficient
official.

the state. The exhibits of corn, hay,
garden products, poultry, ducks,
geese, hogs, cattle, and horses were
all that could be expected, and
showed that those Of this section are
not travelling altogether in the old
lrut Of cotton and more cotton and
nothing else.
Much credit is given the Civic
League Of Grenada and its honored
president, Mrs. ]. P .Broadstreet, for
the splendid floats in the street pa
rade. Almost every leading business
ienterprise Of the town was represent.
ed and so also were a number of the
schools Of the county. Unusually good
were the floats representing Grenada
College, the Civic League and the
Parent Teacher Association. The
president of the Civic League has vis-
tied only recently nearly every part
of Grenada County and interviewed
the heads Of nearly every home with
the view Of getting cooperative
spirit IN all civic aims, and especially
in better caring for country school
houses and churhesc. Perhaps the
activity Of the Civic League in this
regard accounts for the great num-
ber Of country automobiles decorated
for the fair and the unusual COOP
erauve spirit Of che good women from
the country.

DEMAND FREEDOM
OF u. s. CITIZENS
ACTION BY SECRETARY HUGHES
IS TAKEN IN NAME OF HU-
MANITY SAYS NOTE

Washington, July 27.-Formal de-
mand for release Of American prisoners
in Russia has been made on the soviet
authorities by Secretary Hughes.
The State department was advised
today that the communication had
been handed to the soviet representa-
tive at Reval Tuesday by Consul AL
brecht.
The text Of the communication has
not been made public here. It is un-
derstood, however, to be brief insist
ence that the Americans be released
before there can be any thought Of
better relations between the United
States and Russia. The action was
taken in the name Of humanity and be-
cause all efforts to secure the release
Of the Americans, made through DR..
Manson of the Red Cross, have failed.
