DAVID A. WILLIAMS
OFFERS FOR SHERIFF

In the announcement column of
The Sentinel will be found the name
of Mr. David A. Williams who au-
IthOriZeS this paper to place his name
before the people of Grenada County
as a candidate to fill the uneXpired
term of the late y. ". Beck as
Sheriff.
Mr.. Williams is rot an unknown
figure in the politics of Grenada
County. and it is no extravaganza of
speech to state that he is favorably
known. He served as Tax Assessor
and is credited with having made one
Of the best and most efficient Asses
SOrS the county ever had. Later he
was selected to be Sheriff, a place
he likewise filled with credit to him
self and to the satisfaction Of the
public.
Mr.. Williams was born and reared
in district 3 of this county. He has
always shown cOmmendable inter
est in those things that mean for the
public betterment and the general
welfare of the County. He is a NOR
al, upright man and one who sincere
ly desires the good will and cordial
esteem of his friends and neighbors.
If there was ever any malice or
spirit of revenge in the heart of Dave
he has been strong enough
to so control it that no one outside
Of himself ever knew it.
The experience heretofore had as
tax assessor and as sheriff would
seem to Justify the statement that he
is especially fitted to meet the de
nands of the Sheriff's office at the
present time, and it can safely be as
serted that should he be elected,
le will do his best to meet every re-
Iuirement of the office and to make
he County a faithful and accommo-
lating official
Mr.. Williams will endeavor to see
very voter possible between now and
he date of the election.

KEMP MATTINGLY ASKS
TO BE MADE SHERIFF

The Sentinel has been authorized
to announce Mr.. Kemp Mattingly for
the office of Sheriff. a vacancy in
which has been caused by the death
of MIR. D. w. Beck
Until Mr.. Mattingly became q
member of the board of supervisors
of Grenada county as the representa-
tive of district |. he had little to do
with public affairs. His business has
been largely that of travelling sales
man which necessarily has kept him
much on the road. He was born and
reared in the State of Louisiana, but
had the good fortune to make one of
Grenada County's many good women,
Miss Blance Martin, of Hardy, his
wife which no doubt had much to do
with his casting his lot permanently
with the citizenship of this County
Mr. Kemp Mattingly meets the stand
ards of cooperative, progressive cltl-
zenship and is ready to put his
shoulder to the wheel to carry for
ward what the leading thought of the
community desires to further. He is !
a clever, accommodating, Obliging,
generous natured man and takes a
real delight in doing any one a favor.
Since assuming his duties as super
visor, he has taken a keen and active |
interest in road building and has |
done what he could to promote per-
manent road work in Grenada county.
Should he become Sheriff, it is fair
to assume that he would display the
same ardor and spirit as the chief
aw enforcing officer of the county
hat he has shown as supervisor. He 1
has many warm friends who are TAX
ng a keen interest in his race for
Sheriff, and if he is elected, the peo-
Die of the County may rest assured
hat the funds which pass through
he office of Sheriff will be properly
handled and that he will meet every
egal requirement of the obligations
levolving upon a Sheriff. Is
Mr.. Mattingly expects to make an /
Ictive canvass and to see just as z
many of the voters of the County as t
le can to discuss with them in per- =
on his candidacy. The Sentinel feels i.
hat the voters of Grenada County
will give his candidacy fair consid- q
,ration. f

w n. CROWDER SEEKS TO FILL
VACANCY IN SHERIFF'S OFFICE

In carving out Mr.. w II. Crowd
er's instructions to place his name be-
fore the voters of Grenada County
for the Office Of Sheriff made vacant
by the death Of D. W. Beck. The
Sentinel feels that it is presenting
the name Of one Of the best and most
favorabiy known citizens Of the c)un-
tv. He IS one Of those melI who has
been tried and not been found want
ing. n every place, at all times and
everywhere. ". II. CrowLcr is the
same honest. candid, -cientiOus
man and Oblicing citizen. He knows
none Of the arts of camOufiaglng.
Subterfuge and evasion were left oCt
o. the vocabulary of his makeup.
When occupying official position, he
has mad the good sense not to tr" %
be "the whole cheese, but has been
content to attend to the duties of the
Office entrusted TO him without but
ting in on other things. By nature,
he is kind and Obliging. That he is
well adapted and well qualified for
the duties Of the Sheriff's Office, is
amply proven. That he will give the
best that is in him to the faithful and
efficient discharge Of the duties of the
Office will be admitted by all who have
any knowledge Of the character and
the life Of the man.
Mr.. Crowder viii no doubt utilize
the time between now and the cleo
ton, the date Of which has not yet
been fixed by the board of supervis- |
ors. to see as many Of the voters Of !
the county as possible.

JACK RHODES is A CANDIDATE

The Sentinel has been commission
/ ed by Mr.. Jack Rhodes to formally
announce him as a candidate for the
office of Sheriff to fill out the uneX-
pired term of the late D. w. Beck
Mr.. Rhodes was named bv Gov Lee
NJ. Russell to act as Sheriff until an
election could be held.
Mr.. Rhodes is a quiet. honest.
hardworking farmer He is fifty
wears of age. He has given what he
thinks is a good deal of thought to
certain lines of public matters and
has acted in regard to public men and
nublic questions according to the best
lights before him. And it is no small
tribute to any man to say that he
acted according to his best under
standing. That sort of a man is at
least a safe neighbOr and can be re-
lied upon to be fair and lust in
crucial hours. or at the time the best
in humanity is put to a real test. Mr..
Rhodes has stood for the best in
morals among the people Of the
county, and to his credit it may be
said that he would not lend his aid
towards promoting the political aspir-
ations of any one whom he thought
the matured. moral judgment of the
County would condemn. It is fair
to assert that a man who has lived
right as private citizen and who has
clung to the right ideals would do his
best as public official. Electirg
men to office does not change their
character or the bent of their lives.
It is therefore safe to assume that
should Mr. Rhodes be made Sheriff
of Grenada County at the COMING
election. he would surround himself
with only such deputies as believed
as he does about men and moral is
sues, and that he would make certain
that any employees of the Sheriff's of
icn were thoroughly comrptent and
we'll qualified to meet satisfactorily
he complex and exactine duties of
he Sheriff's office.
Mr.. Rhodes will no doubt make
canvass of the County as best he can
md see just as many Of the voters as
lis time will permit.
