REGULAR MEETING
Meeting Well Attended by Members
and Others..-A.s& M. Experts Talk
On Market Bureau and Dairying

. The regular monthly meeting of the
Grenada County Chamber of Com
merce was held last Thursday afer-
noon. At the meeting held in June,
an invitation was extended to some
one of the A. & M. College forces to
come before the meeting yesterday
for the purpose of explaining the
plans and methods of Farm Market
ing Bureau. In accordance with the
invitation, j. w. Willis, head Of the
A. & NJ. College field forces was
present at the meeting and went in to
matter of starting and conducting
Marketing Bureau. Mr.. Willis ex-
PLANTATION was full and satisfactory.
Naturally, the successful operation of
a Marketing Bureau, in Mr.. Willis
judgement, radiated around County
Farm Agent; indeed Mr.. Willis does
mot think that MARKETING Bureau
can be made a 60 unless it is handled
by an Agent. Certainly there must
be some one who is actively giving
the Bureau his attention all the time,
and this the citizenship of the County
fully realizes. !.
The matter Of dairying, receivd
quite deal of attention in an ad-
dress by Mr.. Higgins dairy specialist.
He urged that the farmers be urged
to give the matter attention. He
insisted that a system of cooperative
marketing of milk would bring
thousands Of dollars into the County
for milk which is either not being
utilized now or is being wasted. He
said that the COW and her milk in
many localities were literally saving
~ e. 10 $kA
present, and while he did not say so,
yet one could read it in what he did
not say, that is, if the farmers of
this locality were giving more st
tention to their cows and dairying
now, there would not be SO many
long faces and laments about busi-
MSS conditions.
The Chamber of Commerce ap-
pointed committees in the several
districts Of the county to canvass the
farmers to see what could be done
along the dairying line. ,.., -
Mr.. j. w. Willis is Grenada
County product. He also married q
Grenada County girl and very
properly the citizenship of the County
feels pride in him and are always
glad to have him in their midst.
/ There was a somewhat unusually
large attendance Of the members at
this meeting which is an encouraging
feature. There were several repre-
sentative farmers present, and it
appeared from what transpired that
sentiment favored q Farm Agent to
handle the Marketing Bureau, but It
was evident that only one was wanted
and would prove satisfactory who
got out and mingled and mixed with
the farmers-the small farmers as
well as larger ones-and endeavored
to get to know them and to show
them that he was interested in trying
to show them what is best to be
planted on certain tracts of Land and
how to cultivate their crops. 1t was
stated that a Farm Agent who
automobiled up and down. the streets
of Grenada more than upon the
highways Of the COUNTY was not
thought worth much while. Mr..
Willis quite agreed with this idea
and made it evident that he would
send no experiment to the County.

In view of the fact that there have
been citizens meetings held in such
q large number of the counties of the
State with the avowed purpose OF
finding some way to curtail the ex-
penses of running the State and
County governments at which citi-
zens' meetings the law pertaining to
the salaries of county officers has
been adverted to, and in view of the
further fact that the matter OF plac-
ing the salaries of State and County
officers back where they were when
the people elected them will most
probably be up for consideration at
the next setting of the Legislature.
the Sentinel has thought that it
would serve a good purpose and be
q matter Of general interest to show
the salaries under the present law as
well as the law Of 1916.

PRESIDENT
FAIR ASSOCIATION
DR.. w. p. Ferguson Chosen to Sue
ceed n. B. Barbee, Deceased. w.
H. Kirk, Active Vice-President.

At meeting of the officers and
directors Of the Central Fair & Live
stock, Association held Tuesday after.
noon, DR.. w. p. Ferguson was elected
President of the Association succeed
ing H. B. Barbee, deceased. DR..
Ferguson has been serving as first
vice-president and has been connected
with the Fair Association in an Of
fetal capacity for many years. He
has been one of the best workers for
the success of the fair and has al
ways taken q great interest in pro-
moting the agricultural and livestock
interests in the fair district.
Mr.. w. H. Kirk was elected to
serve as active vice-president. That
this was a wise selection Of the Of
|fcers goes without saying. Mr.. Kirk
is. man of unlimited energy and
takes a great interest in any work in
which he is engaged. With two men
such as DR.. Ferguson and Mr.. Kirk
directing the Association, the fair
this year will no doubt be one Of the
best ever held in Grenada.
Mr.. w. A. Campbell was elected
las Trustee to fill the vacancy caused
by the death Of Mr.. Barbee. Mr.
Campbell is thoroughly familiar with
the aims and purposes of the fair
association and will no doubt give his
best efforts toward making the fair
success.
II. j. Ray was reelected Treasurer
land S. M. Cain, Secretary. These two
gentlemen have been connected with
the association for number of years
and have given unstintedly of their
time to this work.
The dates for the 1921 meeting
have been fixed as October 25, &c
and 27 and q good program is being
ARRANGED. The races each day will
perhaps prove to be the biggest draw
ling card and number of fast horses
will be here to compete for the
(purses.
Probably one of the biggest fea-
|tures of the fair this fall will be the
Harvest and Flower Festival the
Opening day under the auspices of
Ithe Civic League. Mrs. j. P. Broad
|street has in charge the plans for
this pageant and is being assisted by
liable and enthusiastic workers among
the ladies from all over the county.

although showing a drop of s1,000,-
100000 under the previous year.
amounted to $5,624,932, 800, and
there was a balance Of cash the
general fund amounting to $780,
678, 105, enough to meet expenses for
several days."
The same authority shows that the
expenditures average $40,0OO,OOO,
per day for the week before the fiscal
year ended. The same authority al
so submitted figures showing the cost
Of running all government, federal,
state, county and municipal to be
about $8,50O,0O0,0O0, or about
12t0 of all the money carried.
In speaking in opposition 20 the
Bonus Bill Senator Myers, Democrat,
of Montana, submitted the following
figures:
Zone person of every 68 persons
old enough to earn living is work
ing for the United States Govern
ment. This does not include the
Army or Navy. July 81, 1920, there
were in the employ of the Federal
Government and under the civil serv-
ice 691,1 people. This is l Of ev-
! cry 159 of the entire population.
The working population of the United
States is about 47,00O,0OO. One of
every 68 of them is on the pay roll
of the Federal Government, not
counting the Army or Navy. Each
man, woman and child Of the United
States contributes over $53 per an
mum to the support of the Federal
Government. This is $265 per fami.
ly. The average income of the Amer
lean family is about $500 per annum,
of which $265 goes to the support
of the Federal Government The
cost to this country of the World
War was $24, ,01O, 200, 900, not includ-
ing loans to foreign countries. In
Guiding loans to foreign countries
the cost of the World War to this
country was '$33,455, 200, 900. The
cost of conducting the Government
Of the Unitd States is about $5,000,.
100000 per year. The cost for 1920
was $5,686, 6,005, ,706. If $5 pei
minute had been paid out from the
birth of Christ to January /, 1921
the total sum paid would be $5,049,-
1872, 400. That would lack $685.

it will be seen that under the Law OF

AN OLD ISSUE OF THE
GRENADA SENTINEL
Published Right After Yellow Fever
Epidemic. Paper Sent to DR.. T. J.
Brown by Aunt. Death Roll.

Through the kindness and thought
fulness of DR.. T. j. Brown, this of
flee came into possession only recent
ly of a copy of The Sentinel of date
of November 16, 1873, the fall after
the dreadful yellow fever epidemic
in Grenada. In passing, it may be
said that this office has all The
Sentinel files from January, 1880, up
to the present: those previous to that
in the office were lost in a fire, as
the present management understands.
The paper was sent t DR.. Brown by
the widow Of DR.. E. C. Ham, Of
Memphis, an aunt of his and a
sister of the late Mr.. Thomas j.
Garner. On the top of the front
page appears the name of r. Ham,
Jr., written with pencil. and in the
handwriting Of the former editar
Of The Sentinel, j. w. Buchanan. The
Volume is XIV, No. 16, and the
subscription price $500.
=, There is so much in the paper that
will interest vast majority Of the
readers of The Sentinel, that we
would like just to reprint it all at one
time, but that is hardly possible, so
we shall use portions of it in INSTALL
ments, beginning with this issue with
q list of those who died of~the fever
and the first two columns of the
local page.
1t is perhaps well to observe what
medical science has done towards
making epidemics of yellow fever
impossible. In 1878, why one would
run from one who had the fever or
who had been exposed as if he were
some ferocious wild beast. Today it
is known that there is no danger in
personal contact with a yellow fever
subject; the doctors have found that
the mosquito is the conveyor Of the
fever.
Four columns of the front page
are taken with ads. E. Calm & Son
have double column ad, others are
Geo. Lake and "Max"-M. Vile &
+Co.-and some foreign ads. On the
9Th, or back page, of the paper ap-
pear the ads Of S. M. Dabney, cotton
