The Grenada Sentinel J. W. BUCHANAN, Manager and Proprietor; 'BE.TUST and fear not.* EBMS $2 Per Annum. VOLUME XX^III. GRENADA, MISS., SATURDAY. OCTOBER 28, 1882. NUMBER 15 Hardy. Station, Oct, 25th 1882, Editor Sentinel :—The question that most nearly concerns this community, at present, is the Church movement. Mt. Paran church was built about thirty-five or forty years ago, in the "good old times" when people had all the conven iences to carry them wherever they anted to go. Since then, as necessity demanded, it has been patched here and there until, like the rest of our dear old country, hardly a vestige of its former self remained. The question of moving it has long been discussed, and at last the hurch, as a body, met, and by a vote majority of its members, decided move it to some'place within the corpo rate limits of our little town. To some extent, the same rules should apply churches, as to other organized bodies that is, the majority should rule in cases where there is a diversity of opinion on any subject of its government. Jhat our little town will have a church of some kind, is a question that no one will doubt, and the Baptists are blind to their interest when they even hesitate V.' f: own make it one of their own denomination. The church, where it stood, was in an out-of-the-way place, and sadly in need To many of our people of repairs. was a dear old place, a connecting link between themselves and many scenes that are, no doubt, very dear, yet they must know that it could not have stood forever, and that the younger portion of their church, while ttiey have the great est respect for their feelings in the mat ter, can not, to some extent, show them. Besides, their aim should be, the greatest good to the greatest number, and surely when it is fitted up where it now stands, it will be noth an ornament to the town and a greater power to the Baptist cause. The ladies on the committee are working like Trojans, and while they meet with a great many discouragements, yet, like the fabled giant, they only gain strength by coming iu contact witli mother earth; and by the aid of their friends and a gen erous public, will yet succeed in their noble work; and wo hope, ere long, to see a noble band of brothers and sisters laboring together for the same cause. As in politics, so in religion; if we would succeed, we must work together, and not stop to discuss questions that are of as little real importance as is the question of "Who killed Billy Patterson?" Peccatov. Editor Sentinel : It is with mingled feelings of sadness and regret that we note the departure of Mr. T. A. Horton, for "other climes and more congenial," where newer and larger • fields are presented for the full an 1 com plete development of his resources, men tal, physical and pecuniary. An 1 though we are. loth to give him up—a tried friend, a, whole-souled gentleman and an excellent citizen, yet we admire his pluck and vivacity, and aro fully satisfied that his manly ii*po»JU)eiit, genial manners and thorough-knowledge of the "ways and customs" of the commercial world, will soon win for him that respect, confi dence and success which he so richly deserves. Farewell, Thomas; we will sadly miss you when away; and if, in die years to come your mind should ever revert to us, or your heart ever yearn for the friends of earlier days and "scenes familiar," remember that you liuve only to turn your footsteps backward until you reach the home of your youth, and you will ever receive the warm, hearty Yours truly, II B Duane, it n, T II B Vanhoozer L P Bell, T E Moody.

Editor Sentinel :--In your issue of Oct, 7th, 1 noticed the action of the republican party of this country in convention sembled as published by the Kkntiyki,, and would like to comment on some their resolutions. Resolved 2nd, Is sound, it is fraught with a sentiment of manly dignity and moral beauty. I t has the ring of the true metal, and as such it is suitable to grace a complement of resolutions from any body politic whatever.. Resolved, 6th. Is also good, it compre hends in its extended embrace, the genu ine wholesome bread of political life. The one-idea man, the pessamist, who can sec no good in any-thing outside his own party, has become a political nuisance, a stench in the nostrils of truth loviug patriotic men. I am a Democrat, and as such it is not only charitable, but justice demands that I accord to every man the inalienable right, to think and act for himself. Consider him rather af fected with optimism than tainted with pessimissm. Resolved, 4th, is rather a quaint reso lution. The assembly endorse Mr. Roane as a suitable man to represent this Dis trict in National Congress for Sooth, be cause he "has the manhood to shake of! party bonds" etc. I would enquire if this is the only pre requisite to become a. candidate, in the Republican party. # If this calls and qualities a man for any position of honor and trust within the gifit of the people, why not take some one nearer home? There arc not a few in our knowledge, who have already jumped the fence and back again, and are even now ready for another jump. If the theory is good either one of whoip arc more nearly fit ted for the position than Mr. Roan. AVe would suggest that they impute, to this great political Proteus something more immeasurable, and attractive than capacity for deserting one party and joininganother. Now if this convention presented the most wholesome grounds, (which under the circumstances they evidently did) for the election of Mr. Roan, it would be in order, as well as in good taste for them to reassemble, appoint a committee to request his withdrawal from the race for congressional honors, and tliereb remand him to private life,where he wi have ample time to see the darknessof his political mistake, to hold midnight mus ings with his conscience, and berate him self for the folly of his unwise action to the extent that when lie emerges there from, when the sun of Democratic pros perity shall permeate every nook and corner of this National government, and peace and prosperity shall again go hand in hand, chant the beautiful songs of the long ago in the Land of the free. Our own loved sunny south-land, lie may lie a conservative Democrat, pure and un spotted from the world. Mr. Roan, is Senator from his district. Could not the convention have found something in his Senatorial career with which to encircle his brow with a wreath of honors? I suppose a diligent search revealed nothing. So they unfurl their banner to the breeze call him a hero, grand gloomy and peculiar, hoist his name at their mast head, all -because he quit the Democratic party. The people need men of brains to rep resent them in Congress; men sufficient ly acute to perceive the interests of the people and energy enough to take a de cisive stand in their behalf, Aten who are not afraid to espouse measures for the good of their constituents, even though every moneyed Monopoly extant should he arrayed in opposition to them. The masses are intelligent. They know their needs, the boss managers and shys tering politicians to the contrary not withstanding. fur fi H. A IMUJIMaKS uauy. 11Y HAL. REIl).
