A woman's headache may come from
several causes. She may have I. head
ache arising from nervousness, or from
digestive disturbances. Nine cases in

for the sole purpose Of relieving wo.
mankind of these ills and pains. Thou

after taking treatment from several
physicians without benefit, the ''Fa-

MR.. JOHN THOMAS MOORE.
An HonOrod Gentleman and Useful Citizen
Passes Away.

Grenada has been bereft of one OF its
most honored and public spirited citi>
sens, by the sudden death Of Mr.. John
Thomas Moore, who departed from the
scenes of his usefulness Wednesday
night, the ed inst, in the olst year Of
his age, victim to asthma. Though
unostentatious and unassuming in all
the relations of life, his character was
nodded in a sterling individuality. AS
a fond husband, devoted father and
generous neighbor he was pre.eminent
In the qualities and virtues .hat adorn
a noble manhood and seal it with the
impress of moral worth. The career
OF Mr.. Moore was marked by a rare
fidelity to all the obligations resting
upon him. He commenced life as a
carpenter, and when Mississippi called
upon her sous to defend her escutcheon
he volunteered at the earliest sum-
mons, enlisting in the Grenada Rifles,
serving faithfully to the end OF the
conflict. After the war he resumed
his trade, continuing for several years,
then removed his family 10 the coun-
try, where be engaged in the saw mill
business. Some ten years since he
returned to Grenada, where he made
his permanent home.
He was elected in November, 1895, a
member of the Board Of Supervisors
for term of four years, interrupted
by his demise. A sincere member of
the Presbyterian church, he was loyal
to his faith. A loving wife, two broth.
ers, three sisters, three sons, three
daughters, and large number Of
other relatives lament the loss OF one
who was not only protector to them,
but a tender parent and wise counselor.
They bave grown to manhood and wo-
manhood under his watchful eye and
trained to fields of usefulness and hon
orable exertion in which they are
following his footsteps, marked by a
high sense of duty and honor.
The requiem services in memory of
the deceased were rendered at the Pres
byterian Church Thursday evening in
the presence Of a large concourse, Rev.
j. c. Carothers officiating and paying an
eloquent tribute to the life and career
Of the departed father, husband and
friend. At the close, the remains es-
corted by the United Confederate Vet-
Grams, followed by others, were borne
to the Odd Fellows Cemetery, where
they were inferred amid the sobs of
his loved family and the sorrow of a
multitude who knew him only to ad-
mire him.

In another column Of the SENTINEL
will be found an article reproduced az
q special TO the Jackson Clarion>Led-
ger, from Forest, Miss, referring to
the remarkable cure OF Miss Maude
Wolfe from a malady that had been
supposed to be incurable. In confir.
nation OF the statement W. extract a
passage from letter written by Mrs.
Wolfe to her sister, Mrs. c. W. Kos.
minsky, the wife OF one OF our most
prominent and substantial merchants:
'YOur sweet letter arrived, and l am ha .
py to hear that you and all are we'll. Praised
be the Lord, that can say the same, and
more, as our dear Maude is walking on her
heels now, cured by Mr.. Percy Lowry, of
this place Charlie knows him welD without
performing an operation or having q single
pain. 1t Is miraculous, wonderful. The
pa pers are saying, show wonderful it is"
Science nowadays does many things. Mr.
Lowry cured his wife, what DR. "a promi-
nent physician) did not succeed with. 1t is no
fake; 1t is really so. When the child is on
the street. crowds gather about her Her
back is straighter also, as that meningitis
left her weak there, and Mr.. Lowry will not
accept any pay from us"
We are informed by Mr.. Kosminsky
that Mr.. and Mrs. Wolf have expended
large sums OF money in having the
child treated at sanitariums and
health resorts, which proved unavaiI-
able. All endeavors were futile until
the happy thought occurred of testing
the efficacy Of magnetic healing, with
the gratifying result Of a radical cure.

Saving!.

.
The merchant that buys
for cash gets a cash dis
count of about 2 per cent.
per month, or about "a
per cent per annum be-
cause of his paying cash.
We propose that the con-
sumer have the benefit of
this cash discount: Now,
will money saved help
you? Suppose you get
the 2 per cent the cash
merchant saves you; al
so get the : per cent it
costs a merchant to keep
accounts, and 5 per cent
included in 3o-day mer-
chants prices for lost ac-
counts, one per cent for
items fail to charge; 2
per cent for bill collector;
add these together and
you have IS per cent.
Now, any merchant that
does a 3o-day business
must add on this per cent
or he will lose money on
your business. Show
these figures to any mer-
chant competent to cal
Culate the expense of do
ing business, and he will
tell you they are a low
estimate. About % Z
of merchants fail in busi-
ness--most of them be-
cause they don't know

FATAL GAS EXPLOSION.
One Killed and Six Injured
In An Acct
dent.

New York, Nov 23.-By the eXplo-
sion of gas in a trench at Broadway
and Canal street today, Charles O'Neill
lost his life and six men were injured.
O'Neill was a starter in the employ of
the Metropolitan Street Railway COM
pany. The injured are:
Policeman Louis KurtZ Harry Bur
bridge, Abraham Markowitz and John
Keefe, laborers; Gottlieb Marian, a
merchant, and Samuel Pauher, sales
man. 1t is thought that all of the in
jured will recover.
The report of the explosion was ter
rife. Gas had accumulated in the
trench, which had been covered with a
plank beneath which was a network
of gas and water pipes and electrical
conduits. Sixteen men, under Foreman
Robert Bracken, were at work in and
around the trench.
A sheet of flame twenty feet high
shot into the air, and before it rolled a
dense cloud of black smoke. The air
was filled with flying planking, and bits
Of broken glass from the windows of
buildings on Broadway, on each side
to Canal street, which had been shat
tered by the conclusion. O'Neill was
standing at the crossing. A piece of
plank, twenty feet long, flew through
the air over the head of a policeman
and struck O Neill on the head. His
skull was crushed and he fell dead, his
brains being scattered all about.
Other pieces of debris struck Pauher,
who was knocked down. A truck
which was passing over another por-
ton of the trench was lifted several
feet from the ground and was enyel-
oped in flames.
