HENDERSON TALKS TO TENANTS

Editor Sentinel:
In my trips around among the
colored farmers of Grenada county,
| found myself at Hardy on Thursday
of last week. By request of the own
er of one of the large farms near
there, Mr.. R. B. Thomason, i talked
to his colored tenants about condi-
tions and especially the Importance
Just now of ploughing the cotton
against boil weevil and the necessity
of picking the cotton row by row for
the weevil.
Permit me to ay that / found all
these tenants to have the spirit of
cooperation and they all said that
they were going to leave nothing un-
done to whip out the weevil. They
agreed that they would pick their
cotton most carefully.
These colored farmers were in a
happy frame of mind. They were
optimistic to remarkable degree and
seemed to appreciate more fully than
perhaps many would think the sondl-
tions that not only confront them
but their white nsighbors as well.
They showed that they held in high
esteem Mr.. Thomason and that they
were ready and willing to take his
advice and to cooperate with him in
trying to make good crop.
/ went over almost all the crop on
this splendidly cared for farm, and
II found the crops well worked and
in a flourishing condition. Mr..
Thomason, l was told, has about 700
acres in cultivation. It is a pretty
farm He is looking after all of it
we'll and is evidently doing his best
to improve it year by year. / was
impressed with the way he was caring
for his land and, too, l was most
favorably impressed with his evident
determination to raise plenty of feed
stuff. Corn in abundance is in pros
pect and hay and other forage crops
are not being overlooked. Another
thing that impressed me was the eff
forts or purpose Of Mr.. Thomason to
have every tenant garden and po-
tato patch so that they coud just as
far as possible live at home. If we
have anything like favorable seasons
/ shall be disappointed if the
Thomason farm does not show up
with one of the best crops in the
county.
Very truly,
.-------.----..-- A. II. Henderson.

GRENADA COUNTY GIRL
WRITES FROM TEXAS
l. Pleased With Her Trip. Thinks
Memphis Prettier Than Fort Worth.
Tells of What She Has Seen.

Rising Star, Texas, 920 Congress
Ave, June 25, 1921.
Editor Sentinel:
As my thoughts wander back to
the dear old State of Mississippi and
to Grenada county, | am moved by
some unknown spirit to write this
letter. Now / wonder if it will be
considered worthy of space IN our
county paper?
One month ago today as | was
nearing my home on my way from
school my good uncle, Warner, in
formed we that he had decided to
come home with uncle Gus. If |
would come with him. Of course |
was interested from the first and
especially so when he said he would
give me the trip. | knew | could
come then. Immediately / went on
my way anticipating the grand times
and the wonderful things / am now
enjoying.
We three, uncle Gus. uncle
Warner and |, left for Fort Worth
May oath by the way of Memphis.
stopping over there q few days and
taking in all the sights of that city.
After we had spent one whole day
and night that seemed like twenty
on the train, we arrived in Fort
Worth, soon to realize that Memphis,
the city we call our own, is much
superior in its beauty After having
looked it over in some degree, we
journeyed on to Rising Star a little
town about 100 miles away, where
uncle Gus and his family live. While
there we were entertained very roy
ally with all kinds of amusements,
base ball games, the movies, parties,
fishing trips and various other things
Just good time in general. When
our three weeks stay had ended and
we were ready to say goodbye"
felt like hiding behind the door and
having them leave me there. Why,
everything is delightful here, even
to the mosphere-Really it is much
cooler than Mississippi.
Last Sunday morning we left for
Denton to see some more relatives,
Mrs. Joel Horton and family, arriv-
ing here some ten hours later. Den
ton is small city of about 10000
inhabitants just north of Fort Worth
and about 35 miles from Dallas. 1t
is noted for its educational advant-
ages. There are located here two of
the best schools Of the south; the
college of Industrial Arts, which has
an enrolment of about 3, 900 students
and the North Texas State Normal
the largest Normal in the United
States which has an enrolment of
about 1000 students, both boys and
girls. The advantage of both schools
are certainly a credit to this little
city-I only wish that some of our
wealthy citizens might look them
Over,-their gymnasiums, laborator-
les, libraries, etc / am sure they
would have an inspiration that would
lead to an endowment to Grenada
College, thus aiding the educational
advantages of our little city.
/ would like to tell you about the
wonderful things l have seen in re.
CARDS to the natural resources of this
country such as oil wells, refineries
wheat fields, coal mines, etc, but
fear that my good friend, the editor
would not grant the space. Now
wonder who has an uncle half SC
good as mine? l say "no one"
Trusting that may surprise him by
having this printed. / am,
A Grenada county girl in the Lone
Star State,
Mary Horton.
