SENTINEL SIFTINGS.
Clearing Sale commences Monday at
A. Summerfield & Bros.
We learn that Mr. Tom. Phelan has
been confined to his bed for several days
with the measles.
For several days during the past week
the weather was exceedingly warm in
these quarters.
Our devil _ is responsible for all the
fighting articles that appear in this issue
of the Sentinel. AVe wish that distinct
ly understood.
To strike a good breeze and plenty of
ice water, seemed to bo the height of the
ambition of a good many of our citizens
for the past week.
Yes, we celebrated tho glorious 4th, by
devouring a delicious watermelon which
was presented to the Sentinel crew by
our clever young friend Money Loewen
stein.
AVe regret exceedingly to hear of the
illness of our good natured friend J. T.
Purdie, as we did not see him last Satur
day. We hope to see the old boy up and
about soon.
The Pastor of the Baptist Church was
unexpectedly called last Thursday to
visit his sick family in Louisville, Ky.
His pulpit will be filled Sunday morn
ing and night by Dr. J, L. Johnson of
Oxford
Mrs. Hall, the excellent wife .Of ex
pastor Hall, of the' EpiscopalpMurch of
this city,was made the recipient of a pair
of beautiful silver vases, as a compliment
to her many virtues, by Mess. J. M.
Bishop and B. C. Adams, Sr., a few days
since._
We learn from a reliable source that
Mrs. M. M. Ransom and Mrs. M. E.
Ayrts, will open a school under their
joint efforts on tho 1st of September at
the old Town Hall. The education and
experience of these ladies entitle them to
public respect and patronage.
Now that the dull season is upon us
a little time is afforded our young people
for recreation and pleasure; and in con
sequence thereof several parties left our
town during the past week for White
Lake, Twin Lake, Grindle and Tippali
to spend a few days in fishing and hunt
ing.
Mr. J. AV. Buchanan, the proprietor
and editor of thin paper, hied him off to
Chicago to take in the sights of the great
est National Convention that ever met
in this Union. That he will have a pleas
ant time, barring the jostle and hot
weather, we have every assurance, for he
went for that purpose.
A case of infanticide was reported to
the marshal of our town on lost Sunday
morning. In accordance with facts, a
jury of inquest was summoned, and after
a close investigation the child was traced
to Ada ICegler. The decision of the jury
was that the child was murdered by be
ing thrown against an old picket fence
by its mother or her accomplice. A war
rant was issued for the arrest of Ada Keg
ler, who is now waiting the investigation
of the court.
AVe were present by complimen
tary ticket at a concert given by the col
ored people in the Methodist Church, on
the night of the 8th. Rev. Mr, Echols,
white, who has Borne supervisory con
trol of the colored Methodists in this part
of the State,had for someweeks,beer.train
ing a class vocal art. That he suc
ceeded to a highly creditable degree, was
evident from the happy rendition of
quite a number of sacred, and didactic
songs. They kept good time, while
quite a number of voices proved that cul
tivation only was needad to reach a high
degree of perfection.

On Wednesday evening about twilight
a very significant display of electricity
was visible in the Northern horizon.
Gradually it grew brighter and more in
tense, until a trembling sheet of bright
est flame, hung like a curtain of fire
across the Northern sky. About half
past eight, a brisk breeze sprung up to
relieve the suffocating air, which soon in
creased to a lively gale, and quickened
its force until whirling gusts were dash
ed along with a power that made old
buildings tremble for a second upon
their base, while loose fragments of old
boards and detached planks and debris,
went whizzing through the air, as the
sportive pranks of the storm fiend,
that meant mischief if not ruin.
We learn that some of the boys,
who were out at a concert in the
southwestern part of the town, took to
the ditches, and lying close to the south
ern wall, closed their eyes and commit
ted themselves to the care of a merciful
Providence, expecting tho black, funnel
Bhaped hades, called a cyclone, to come
along and drive them deeper in the dirt
or pick them up and land them in the
gulf upon the southern borders of the
State. Whether it was the humble trust
of these young men in a higher power
that saved us from the fearful calamity of
a tornado, or whether the whole thing
was the sportive humor of the storm king
to alarm and frighten, we leave to those
better posted in the mysteries of a kind
Providence, or the laws that govern the
meteorological disturbances of the earth.
Anyhow, it was a big scare,and while we
put on the airs of a man unconcerned,we
felt pale all over. The wind at last lulled,
the dashing gusts ceased, and loud but
not rattling thunders rolled and tho gen
tle, blessed rain fell for more than an
hour, purifying the atmosphere, laying
the dust, renewing vegetation and mak
ing us say and feel "Blessed be the God
of the universe, for his mercies, some
times cloaked in the black exterior of
wrath." The rain, we have reason to be
lieve, was general all through this section,
and in many places it was greatly need
ed.
The editor of the AVater Valley Central
does not think Maj. Penn very much of
a preacher. He came down on Sunday
and heard one sermon, and made up his
mind that Maj. Penn was overrated.
Suppose a man that heard the first gun
at Austerlitz, had retired and heard no
more, he might have gone and said to his
friends away, that there was nothing in
that fight different from others. But had
he waited until sundown and seen the
Austrians and Russians in full retreat
before that almost God of AVar,Napoleon
the First, he would have thought that
that which began with a solitary gun,
ended with one of the most terrible and
consequental struggles ever fought on
this earth. Many here thought, on hear-'
ing Maj. Penn's first or second sermon,
that he had been greatly overrated, but
before ten days had elapsed they believ
ed him a field marshal of evangelical
power, commissioned by the Divinity to
contend with the ranks of sin ahd lead
to victory hundreds who for the first
time enlisted in the cause of God.
It is certainly a very great pleasure to
us to report the crop prospects of our
county in a better condition than at any
time during the season. A superabun
dance of rain whieh lias been the cry all
the season, has now ceased, and while
we hear of some few localities where rain
is needed, in most cases the seasons are
just right at this time. The dry, warm
weather for ten or fifteen days past, has
brought cotton up and grass down.
Some few farmers that we have met with
are jubilant over both their cotton and
corn. Yet, it must not be forgotten that
the crops are at least two weeks in ar
rears of time, and consequently in size.
On all good uplands where corn has re
ceived the proper attention it is good,
but in bottom lands where planted early,
qs a rul%it will not do to boast of. So,
don't give up the crops before a benign
ant Providence lias deserted us, is just as
good an agricultural cry as was that of
the gallant Lawrence who fell-on the
quarter deck of his sloop of war, "don't
give up tho ship."
Tlie resignation of Rev. A. K. Hall of
his charge here in the Episcopal church,
was unexpected by many, if not most of
our people. Although lie had not been
here twelve months, he had made many
friends, irrespective of sectarian feelings
or religious peculiarities. A man of lib
eral views in matters of society, and a
polished Christian gentleman, his society
highly appreciated by those who
were brought within the circle of his
friendships. A man of reading and cul
ture, his sermons always abounded in
logical argument and spiritual facts, pre
sented in pure classic English. He leaves
friends here who will long remember his
genial manners, and social, as well ns
Christian graces. That he may find a
place where his powers may widen with
opportunity is the wish of many in this
town, who know him but to appreciate
and love.
Since the revival meetings of the
churches began here, the best informa
tion we can gather, is that tho Baptist
Church has added to their book, about
forty-eight members, the Presbyte
rian about twenty-five, and tho Metho
dist about seventy-five.
Dont fail to-go to Summerfield's Mon
day.
was
This is the dull season of the year, un
der the most favorable circumstances,and
yet we have no reason as a community,
to hang our heads in shame or yield our
hearts in fear. Wo have large stocks of
goods which our merchants are anxious
to sell at the lowest prices, in order to fill
their shelves in a few weeks hence with
fresher and newer goods. We have never
known dry goods of all sorts as cheap in
Grenada as now. Wedo not know where
one would go to buy more with the same
money than in this town. Groceries are
at the lowest margin of profit. Curiosity
lead us a few days ago to examine some
goods which were putdown so low in the
published card that we distrusted their
value in any sense. Upon examination
we found these goods intrinsically valua
ble and worth twice the money if one
had had to buy material and have them
made. In fact, not the poorest womhn
would make them for what they cost
ready made at the store. Now, if the
people living around Grenada within a
radius of filty miles, wish to buy goods
of any description, especially ladies'
wear and mens' clothing, or any of the
solid goods by the bolt or bulk, let them
come to Grenada and try. How these
things are so, it is notour business to en
quire. We do not run a store, but a pa
per, and yet try and find out everything
in this town in which our friends at a
distance are interested, and tell them of
it. So, if you think it is dull in Grenada
come in with your wagons and bring
your wives and even the little ones along,
and see how many pretty and useful
things you can buy for a small amount
of money.
The following are the appropriate re
marks of Capt. W. P. Towler on present
ing a beautiful cano to the Rev. A. K.
Hall, by a few of his friends. Mr. Hall,
as is known, resigned his pastorate in tho
Episcopal church here, and before leav
ing, a few of his maDy friends took this
method of testifying their respect for his
high individual character,his devotion to
the Christian religion, and especially that
branch of it to which he has so assidu
ously, thus far, dedicated his life:
Rev. Bib:—
We, with many others of your friends,
have heard with deep regret of your inten
ded removal from our midst,and while we
do not question the cause, etc., that takes
you from us, we know your decision was
not arrived at without your first weighing
all the surroundings well, and giving the
matter that careful and prayerful sonsider
ation it requires, and we are fully agreed
that you are doing what you conscientious
ly believe to be right and your duty that
you owe to yourself, your family and your
church. Still all this does nst remove the
sadness or oause the pain to be less
that your departure gives us who now
surround you. True none of us
have known you but a few short mouths,
and to us they now seem like so many
days. Yot the time has been long enough
for the network of love and affection to be
woven so olosely around our hearts that
time can never efface it, and we can not.
sir, permit you to leave us without first
presenting you with a token as a slight
memento of our love and appreciation of
you as a citizen, a friend and a Priest in
the high calling in whicU you are engaged.
Aocept from us, sir, this cane, and with it
our prayers that the all wise God before
whom we bow in love, adoration and wor
ship, will ever guide, direct and bless your
labors here below, and give you that peace
and happiness in this life that the world
oan neither give nor take away; and when
the once crucified but now risen Lord
comes to make up His jewels, oh may you
receive that joyous and happy salutation,
'■Well done, my good and faithful servant;
enter now into the joy and happiness of
eternal rest."

Maj. J. B. Kemp, who has long been
at the head of the railroad depot in this
town, has been transferred to Aberdeen,
where, perhaps, he will find a wider field
for his long experience and talents in
railroad matters. His transfer may be
better for the railroad, but it takes from
this community a man that everybody
who ever met him in business admired,
and a citizen who was ever prompt in
the discharge of his duties. In business
hours no pleasure could decoy him, but
when the day's work was over no man of
acquaintance enjoyed more a social
klealete than Maj. Kemp. That he may
find greener and wider pastures both for
profit and pleasure,is the wish of all who
know him. He and his accomplished
lady will be a splendid addition to any
community.
AVe would suggest to the excellent
workman, who has charge of the tinning
department ofour court house,not to leave
hislittlesolderinr forge upon the build
ing another night, unless hehiows every
spark of fire is extinct. AVednesday night
during the gale, but for the prompt ac
tion of Mr. Money Loewenstein, who
saw the flying sparks, and rushed up and
hurled the kindling fire to the ground,
might have witnessed this morning a
town in ashes, including the nearly fin
ished court house. AVhen the weather is
hot and dry, aud there is so much
light combustible material lying about,
no man should be allowed to smoke in
the building at any time. AVe hope
superintendent Moore will issue his or
der to this effect, and see that it is en
forced. Every man of sense in the com
munity will back him in the mandate.
AVe learn that the Presbyterian Sun
day School picnic at Spring Lake on
Thursday last, was quite a pleasant affair.
