ARM|STICE DAY
is CELEBRATED
Town Fittingly Observes Anniversary
of Cessation of Fighting. Rev. J.
r. Cunningham Makes Address

Arrnistice Day was fttingly OBJ
served in Grenada. The business
houses closed as a mark of interest.
The program as announced in The
Sentinel Of last week was carried out
heartily and with becoming patriotic
fervor. The children of the white
public school gathered at the school
building and marched to Main Street
opposite Grenada College where they
were joined by a number of the eX-
Service men and members bf the
American Legion who led the way
to the park IN the public square
where numerous patriotic songs were
sung. From the park the gathering
repaired TO the Opera House which
had been so kindly rendered by Man
ager Tyson. At the Opera House
there was a Scripture reading by
Rev. ". Z. Farr. prayer by Rev. E.
r. Henderson and Rev. W W Wool
lard and suitable songs after which
Rev. J. r. Cunningham delivered a
most excellent and appropriate ad-
dress. No effort was made 10 take
notes on Mr.. Cunningham address
for the reason that this paper thought
he was 10 leave q copy of it at this
office, but il appears that ne forgot
it and is now out Of town attending
the Synod OF his church at Pontotoc.
This will explain the meager notice
of it. The writer has heard none but
the most complimentary references
to Mr. Cunningham's speech and
would have been glad TO have publish
ed il with this notice. Mayor Doty
presided at -he meeting.
The observance Of the day shows
the heart Of Grenada county still
rings rue 20 the boys who went to
the war and that she believes more
and more with the passing days in
the justice Of the American cause
and the unavoiGableness Of the war.
The day was ittingly observed
throughout the length and breadth
of the land. From Maine 10 Californ-
ia: from the Canadian border to the
Gulf OF Mexico. the acclaim of glad
tidinc went NJ. The people all over
the land showed that their hearts
beat with patriotic fervor for the
victory achieved three years before
on the Ear Sung battle lines in France.
And while there was rejoicing over
what was accom- plished and thank
fulness expressed for the boys who
returned home, many tears we're shed
over me boys who never came back

&C. GARNER FOR MARSHAL.

Mr.. j. c. Garner gets into the race
for City Marshal and authorizes The
Sentinel to formally place his name
before the electorate Of the City of
Grenada for this important Office. For
sometime Mr.. Garner has been serv-
ing as deputy Marshal which has
given him a good opportunity 10
know the duties of the Office IS well
as giving the public the opportunity
to in some degree take his measure
as a public official. Mr.. Garner was
born and reared in Grenada being q
son of the late Tom Garner, and most
of the Grenada people should know
every phase of his character. That
he is naturally clever and obliging
it cannot be gainsaid. To Mr. Gar
ner's credit, after a state of war was
declared with Germany. re was among
the first TO agitate the formation Of
a volunteer company n Grenada
County and took an active interest
in getting enlistments. He went
across with the Company and i there
was ever aught against his record as
a soldier it has not been brought 10
the attention Of The Sentinel. Il
would therefore seem safe 20 assume
that he would show that fidelity as
an officer that he displayed as a sold
ler.
Mr.. Garner will no Goub. interview
the voters of Grenada 10 regard to
his ambition, and The Sentinel feels
sure that his candidacy viii receive
that consideration it deserves.

AID SIGNS MUST BE TAKEN
FROM INDIANA HIGHWAYS

InjianSLol;s, Ind. - Advertising
signs Of any sort viii not be permit
ted along The $500 miles of road
comprising the state highway system
after next July 1st, according to an
order issued by the state highway
commission. The delay in the effec-
tive date gives eight months for the
removal Of signs now on the roads,
the commission points out.
Members Of the commission in COM
nenting on the order said that mer-
chants generally depend on newspa-
pers to solicit trade. and that signs
along highways, are Of little service
because the speed most motorists
make renders it impossible for occu-
parts Of the ear - read the signs.
Lawrence Lyons, director Of the COM
mission, said the order means that
no signs excepting those marking the
road, detour signs. and railroad dam
ger signals will be permitted along
the site highways.

IOHN TALLY SHOOTS FRANK
MERRITT, BOTH ARE NEGROES
Affection Of Ethiopian Dansel is The
Cause Which Prompted Him to
Get His Hip-Pocket Retreat.

The affection of an Ethiopian dam
sci was the casus belli TO John Tally
last Sunday night which prompted
him TO get his hip-pocket retreat and
get himself behind a tree almost at
the very door OF Mrs. Ida Owens in
Grenada, where when Voorhees, or
Frank Merritt came along as an es-
cort to his lady love, he undertook
to pump him full of holes IN which he
succeeded to the tune Of three bull
lets. two Of which went into the
Merritt negro's arm and the other
pierced his abdomen. The assailant
was reckless in his shooting. He was
right in the midst of the residence
district and it is little less than a
wonder that somebody else was not
shot. Mr. R. c. Trusty was Just
across the street in MS car, and hay
ing just come out from the light, did
not know until after the shooting
was over that one negro was trying
to kill another. Mr.. Trusty thought
that an officer was after some mis-
creant, hence felt no apprehension as
to the course Of the bullets. The
Merritt negro ran very naturally.
At first he darted IN behind Mr..
Trusty's car and then ran south TO-
ward Rabbit Track. He was taken
in charge by some white friends and
carried to a physician.
The Tally negro was caught after
a short pursuit on the banks Of the
Yalobusha river not far from the
Grenada Oil Mill by Walter Mullin
and some other young fellows. Dep
uty Marshal, Crawford Garner, was
in pursuit, but some how the boys
beat him to it. The capture was only
a short while after the shooting. The
negro was placed in jail where ne
will remain until a committing trial
which will not be had until the extent
of the other negros wounds are
known. He halls from Memphis.

DR.. j. J. Tigert, United States Com.
missioner of Education, delivered al
address on Saturday afternoon tC
quite large audience Of Grenada
County people and a number from
surrounding towns, at the Methodist
! Church in Grenada.
! Supt. John Rumble introduced Hon
! w. F. Bond, State Supt. OF Education
who made a short talk on the pro
gress Of education in Mississippi dur
hing the past two or three years, and
! then introduced Dr.. Tigert.
DR.. Tigert congratulated the people
of the state on having Supt Bond al
the head Of educational affairs and
confirmed that gentleman's asser-
tons as 10 the progress recently
shown along educational lines. He
said MIR. Bond had told the people the
truth as 10 conditions and then set 20
work 10 improve those conditions.
Among Otner things DR.. Tigert said
Now we are at a very important
time IN the history OF this nation.
On yesterday We celebrated perhaps
the most significant day in the affairs
OF the nation II q long time. Our
forefathers dreamed a dream OF q
new kind OF nation in which every
lcltlZen might be q king or governor.
They realized chat in setting 40 that
KIND OF a government it would rot
be possible for il 20 develop unless
all the people had an equal oppor-
tunity TO he enlightened. So they set
up great free public school system

| would be the last man in the world
20 depreciate The young men who gave
their lives that the world might die
IN peace. but ! would not be truthful
Il | did not say that We had never
realized the dream Of our forefathers.
We have not got equal opportunities
OF eduration n Mississippi or in any
other state IN the Union. We are
spending more money IN the U. S.
for edulauon than any other nation.
Almost l-5 Of The entire expenditure
IN education-nearly a billion CO.
lars annually There is no ether ma
ton that eXpends anything Ike tnat
sum.
And, TOO, We have on the statutes
IN every state q code OF laws which
If they were enforced, would result
in every boy and girl having an equal
education. Only four counties in the
United States are without the COM
pulsory law, and they are in Missis-
slppi. But we 90 not enforce these
laws. The Bureau Of Education made
an examination into educational af-
fairs and found that 20,000,0O0 had
been enrolled and $4,000. 600 were in
so instead Of having ev-
cry boy and girl with equal oppor-
tunities, more than 1-2 were required
10 De there by Law. They found that
II per cent. or II out Of every
thousand beyond 10 years Of age
could not read and write. We found
out IN 1910 when the census men
went around how many people could
not read and write. Why is this so?
Nobody can answer that question
The census man would drop dead
Nobody seems to know what it means

enough to express yourself? IT.
Of our population could not read and
write the English language.
Then we got into war with Ger
many. Before we could make an
army that could fight, We had TO
know whether they could write orders

WAR VET EXHIBITS
 WESTERN PAINTINGS

Three oil paintings. "The Water Hole" Bullet Spurts in the Sand" and Cut off" all of which portray typical western cattle scenes, are on exhibition in the windows of the N. Porter Harness and Saddlery com pany on South Central avenue, where they have been placed by Paul l.. Al ford, local artist, as examples of the work of Romy Ford. an ex-service man who is rapidly becoming known as a painter of western subjects.
 The Water Hole" depicts trail herd arriving at a water hole on the Arizona desert: Bullet Spurts in the Sand" shows a cattle rustler defend ing himself against pursuers who have caught him in the act of brand ing calf and Cut Off is a pie ture of three cowboys in the blaze of a fire on the Oklahoma plains. The paintings are executed with force and dash and show that the artist, in addition to his genius, has an into mate mountaineering with the life he portrays
 Ford Is rising in the artistic world from the lowly status of cowboy and his work has already been favorably commented upon in the east While in the United States army during the great war he met several artists of prominence who induced him to develop his rare natural talent. Since the war he has become a graduate of the Fine Arts school Of St. Louis, having pair his tuition there solely by the sale of his paintings. Like the celebrated Remington. whose paint ings are now at premium, Ford works exclusively in western sub ;ects.

If any cattleman in the vicinity of Phoenix is desirous of getting into the movies and having his herofsm portrayed for the millions of film fans in these United States. all he has to do is contract with the Uni versal Film Manufacturing company, Universal City, Calif., to run his cat tie in a stampede toward the edge of cliff and then stop them with a grass fire started on the brink of the precipice. The film company is willing to pay for the weight lost by. the cattle and for the services of the cattleman and his cowboys and the use of his ranch, but nothing is said about paying him for the wear and tear on his disposition and char acter in starting stampede and then stopping 1t in the manner desired. The letter in which this request has been made to the chamber of com merce follows:
 T am looking for a location for the next Harry Carey Special on a cat tie ranch in typical open range coun- try with adobe or large frame farm buildings where we can have the use of about a thousand head of cattle or more for several days. I would like to be able to get the cattle in q valley or on range where there Is valley below so I can get the effect of the danger of stampede if started.
 Must obtain permission to stam- pede these cattle for a few scenes in which they run toward edge Of a ledge or cliff but are headed off or turned by owner and his men who come up from valley below and start grass fire along or near edge of precipice, thus saving them from de- struction
 "Of course we will handle this very carefully and not run any cattle to- ward dangerous country but must have a location where we can get over the effect of danger to the herd,
