MEETING TO BE HELD AT
COURT HOUSE SATURDAY


The Sentinel would remind its Gre.
NADIA County readers, and especially
the farmers, of the meeting at the
court house in Grenada Saturday
afternoon, June "a, at 2 O'Clock, fol
the purpose of again comforting TO-
gether as to raising strawberries in
Grenada County, and as to the advis'
ability of organizing strawberry as
sociation,
The meeting held here now nearly
three weeks ago adjourned, after ap-
pointing a committee to solicit sigma
lures to an agreement to plant SC
MANY acres in strawberries and after
planning another meet for Saturday
as above indicated.
The Sentinel is advised that there
will be five men here from Batesvllle
who will tell more about what success
has been had by strawberry ralsers
there. tits hoped that good crowd
will be on hand to take part in the
meeting. With the present lights be-
fore it, The Sentinel believes that IT
is a good business proposition to join
together to raise strawberries IN q
limited way, and, in view of the boil
weevil menace, it would seem to be
the part of wisdom to cease to de-
pend solely on cotton as a money
crop.

BEWARE OF THE DANGER.
Gus HOUSEFLY

The Sanitation Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce in co-opera.
tion with the city and county boards
of Health is calling upon the house
keepers, operators of restaurants and
citizens in general to get busy at once
with fly swatters and by other means
to kill the dangerous houseflies.
The extremely mild weather this
season has been favorable to the ac-
tive life of the insect and has
prompted the breeding of this danger
Gus pest.
Fewer flies have perished during
the. WIN +er months.
Many have survived and deposited
eggs, which have been hatcher and
will reinforce the ''hold overs" that
have hibernated in sheltered places.
The mother fly lays $50 eggs at one
time and deposits six patches in her
life time of five weeks. 1t is thus
to be seen that the possibilities for
spreading disease germs are appalling.
From present indications, the fly
will ce aggressive and energetic this
summer and unless .eXterminated, will
scatter broadcast the seeds of disease.
The fly plants his disease germs on
bread and butter and trails them
over the sugar. sips coffee and swims
in milk.
The Cnamber of Commerce advises
that the citizens clean up their prem
ises, eradicate all substances likely to
furnish breeding grounds for the fly.
Garbage is his favorite rendezvous.
The garbage can should be kept COW
cred.
Refuse from stables forms the chief |
substance in which flies deposit their
eggs, and heaps Of such material are
breeding places CT these in |
sects. They also breed on the occur
renee of a suitable temperature in |
ashes, COW and fowl refuse, cesspools, |
straw and textile fabrics, such as
wooden garments and sacking which |
have been found with material of hu |
man origin, mushrooms, decaying |
fruits and feedstuffs, such |
rs potato skins, melons, bananas,
pears, apricots, cherries. plums,
peaches, bread and milk, boiled eggs,
Dad meat, and rotting grain, such as
wheat. They are also in spittoons.
Clean up and prevent the deadly
pest from breedingl Kill flies and save

Car Turns Somer-
sauIt on Dump
Five Young Ladies and Baby in Car.
All Badly Bruised But Injuries Not
Serious. Escape From Death AL
most Miraculous.

What came near being an accident
that might have taken the lives of six
persons occurred Wednesday after
noon on the dump at the north end Of
the bridge which spans the Yalobusha
river at Grenada when a Dodge car,
driven by Miss Louise HOneycutt
went head long down an abrupt en-
| bankment with the driver and three
young lady friends and two sisters Of
the driver, one a baby about three
months old. The fall over a fifteen
foot dump was so preciptate that the
car turned somersaults. The occu-
pants CT the car were Misses Louise
and Anna Hunnycutt and a baby
sister three months old, Misses Ver-
non and Lucille Easter and Miss Vir-
ginia McCracken, of Louisville, Miss.
Louise Hunnycutt and Miss Lucille
Easter, who had the little babe in her
arms. Those on the rear seat were
fortunate enough to be able to jump
out as the car started down the en-
bankment, which most probably saved
their lives. Those on the front seat
were pinioned under the car and
were not able to get cut until relief
came. All were more or less bruised
and some very badly bruised. Miss
Easter suffered brol.en collar bone
but at this writing it appears that
none was seriously injured. The lit
tie baby has a big knot Oh its head
which is giving the family some ap-
prehension. The fact that none was
killed or badly crippled is almost
1t seems that the occupants of the
car are not able to state just what
caused the accident. Another car
was met on the bridge and the sur
mise is that in backing for the ap-
preaching car to pass, bobble vas
made which caused a sudden turning
of the front wheels to the dump or
else the edge of the dump was too
closely approached while watching the
approaching car.

SO 1t is planned to make the raising of
Oid Glory on the public square one of
the important features of the day.
The Sentinel is glad to see the
fourth of July spirit being revived.
1t is wholesome thing to see the
young men of the country feasting
on the events that made this govern
ment possible and on the deeds of
the men that laid deep and lasting the
foundations of the United States gov
ernment. 1t means something to the
present when young men are thinking
about the glorious past, but it means
more to the future and should make
those of the present who are concern
ed about what is to come feel more
serene as to the events of coming
days.
The Jim Trimble Post is alive to
patriotic things. 1t paid the expenses
of a Confederate Veteran to the re-
union this week at Richmond.
Let the County and surrounding
country turn out for the day and aid
by their presence in this patriotic en-
deavor. Several thousand people are
looked for. Be one of them.

WORK IN PROGRESS ON
NEW RAILROAD LINE
Geo. c. Brown Lumber Co., Begins on
Line Which Will Connect Grenada
With Calhoun City and East.

If throwing up the dump and max
ing all other necessary arrangements
to build railroad means anything, il
looks as if Grenada will probably have
another railroad line and this time
| from the east.
1t is we'll known that the Geo. G..
Brown Lumber Co., several years ago
purchased almost all the timber be-
tween Grenada and the Calhoun
County line on the east, north of the
Yalobusha river. They also secured
the rights-of-way for a standard guage
railroad. But for the war and after
war conditions, which have beset the
whole country, no doubt there would
have already been another railroad
line into Grenada and the Brown
Lumber Co. would most probably
have had big milling plant here, too.
But work is now in progress on the
railroad line. ASThe Sentinel under
stands it is the purpose of the Brown
Lumber Co. to build the railroad out
about six miles from Hasserway. 1t
is also understood that this lumber
company is to begin at Calhoun City
and build to Grenada County line on
the east, and if the two lines are
built from each direction as above
indicated, there will be gap of about
nine miles. With a gap of only nine
miles. Grenada can feel assured that
there will be some way found to COM
plete the line and thus give this COM
munity that long looked for and
hoped for railroad.

FRICTION DEVELOPING
IN STATES COLLEGES
Board Did Not See Fit to ADOPT
Recommendations of DR.. J.
G. FAINT.

A story has just leaked out con.
cernlng some frOction in the general
board of trustees of the state educa,
tlonal institutions relative to the
management of the Mississippi Col
lege for Women, and It may crop up
4 again at meeting to be held in Jack
son this week
! At the session last Saturday Presi-
dent j. {. FAINT in his annual report
submitted recommendation that H.
r. King, secretary of the college. not
be allowed to occupy one of the new
residences on the campus.
The reason for this recommends
tion was that Mr.. King-who, by the
way, is a son-in-law of the late Capt.
Frank Burkitt, has some sons who are
nearly grown, and he does noe deem
it proper for them to reside on the
campus Of a college for girls. Here
tofore Mr.. King has been occupying
a rented residence in town.
This recommendation was rejected,
as was also President Fant's recon-
mendation that Mr.. Kings salary be
reduced from $4,000 per year to $3,-
300 per year, as a measure of econo-
my the legislature having seen fit to
trim the college budget in a rather
ruthless Gamer. During the Brewer
administration this secretaryship paid
$4,000 per year.
The board of trustees, at it's meet
ing here on Saturday heard only the
annual reports from the heads of in
stitutions and made no elections for
the approaching college term. 1t is
rumored that some shake-ups in fac
ulty members are scheduled to take
place if Governor Russell can have
his way about it, and possibly an at
tempt will be made to get some Of
the department heads:
The above news item appeared in
the Jackson Daily News of June 18.
The Sentinel thinks the Daily News
must have pretty straight line on
the doings of the college board as
about the same information came to
the editor of this paper.
1t is always unfortunate for col :
lege president when a board of trus- !
tees allows a subordinate to go over
the head Of the college president. 1t
tends to disorganization and can but
be embarrassing to the college head.
The Daily News is in error in say
ng that during the Brewer admins
tration this secretaryship paid $3,-
)0O." The editor Of this paper was
member of the board of trustees dur
ng the Brewer administration and,
while he speaks from memory only,
n quite sure that there was not a
secretary of the colleges. outside of
he A. & NJ. College, that was paid ;
,ver $4,000. per year. As We recall,
he secretary of the A. & NJ. College ;
vas paid during the latter days of {
he Brewer administration $4,000, and !
his extra compensation was allowed
ecause his work was thought to be {
much heavier than that of the secre-
aries of the other colleges. !

We feel that the complaint of our
friends, whose names appear to the
above article, is not without merit.
And we want to assure them that the
matter they complain about has been |
frequently on the mind of Grenada !
merchants and other business men of /
late. The conditions have come
about more by a sort of evolution /
rather than otherwise. 1t has been |
one of those cases of 'eVerybOdy's !
business" which usually means is at
tended to by nobody. The Chamber
of Commerce had the matter up some
time ago of arranging for some hitch
ing place for the stock of those who
think a committee was named to give
1t attention and report back, however,
we rather think the committee has
failed to agree upon anything, and
that it has made no report. And
while, as above stated, we think there
are grounds for what is complained
of, yet it is one that appears to be
rather difficult to work out without
right considerable outlay of money.
There is not a town in Mississippi
that appreciates its neighbors and
farmer friends more than Grenada.
There is not town anywhere that
gives gladder hand than Grenada to
it's farmer friends. There is not
town anywhere that is bound by ties

closely to the people Of the country
than Grenada, and we believe we are
safe in saying that there is not a
town anywhere of its size which has
a greater per cent OF its citizenship
made up of people who came from
the country round about it. We
these things to show that
Grenada feels more than mere busi-
ness interest in her farmer friends.
