Oakland, Mias., Is a Utile town In
Yalobusha county, and about twenty
miles north o( Grenada. It has
progressive and enterprising
business men It has ever been our
oleasure to meet, and they succeed
by being successful. In the first place
they are o( that llberul turn of business
Ind which sees the necessity of spend
ing money in order to make money.
This is evidenced hy the large amount
of printer's ink used by them. They
issue large quantities of well-worded
and well-written circulars and posters,
which by the way, the SENTINEL has
the pleasure Of printing. Charleston,

advertising pages of the Charleston
Herald are filled almost exclusively by
the
attractive advertisements of
wide-awake and far-sighted business
men of Oakland. Tho Oakland stores
are doing a fine business while those
in Charleston are doing almost nothing
Charleston has elected to die of dry rot
and her merchants uro helping her by
holding back on the reins and, driving
business away rather than attracting
It. Ask the Oakland merchants if
advertising pays and they will answer,
A town is judged abroad by the
amount of advertising displayed in the
nowspapers published there. It is an
unvarying criterion to the status of
things, and a glance at Its columns will
reveal whether the town wants your
business or simply does not
whether "school keeps or not."

The merchant who does not ask tho
public to visit his stole, nnd|who [does
not advertise intelligently, and persist
ently, cannot expect to do ajgood* busi
ness. Advertising has become a
necessity lu this age, and.he who treats
the matter lightly will find the wind
going out of his business sails "and his
ship will soon be foundered on*a glassy
sea across, which the trade winds of
commerce will never blow again. In
short he will be "busied."
A DEARTH Or 8K11VAN rs—WHY T
Under the above heading the Clarks
dalo Challenge, edited by Mrs. Hala
Hammond Butt, publishes the follow
ing forcible arraignment of a class of
people who constitute the most danger
ous element in Southern society; a cluss
who not only degrude themselves but
who put viciousness, daring and crime
into tbe easily corrupted minds of tbe
negro population. Mrs. Butt says :
"The servant question, so old aud yet so
thoroughly vital and constantly recurring,
as to Its vexatious aspects, is at high tide lu
Ularksdale. The real trouble, as is quite
well understood, rests in the independence
of the servant material,—the negro. The

him, either by climatic or any other condi
