The SENTINEL is authorized to announce
the name OF
HON. A. +. FOX,
HIGH-HANDED MENDICITY.

1t is strange that some apparently
sensible individuals will be so limo
cent minded" Tor so innocent Of mind
as to think that their begging letters
to the enormously rich will meet with
favorable consideration and pecuniary
response. Some of this class of mend
icants make their absurd requests with
out a hope OF success; again, there are
others whose troubles are pathetic aud
they make piteous appeals for help,
impelled by a feeling of desperation
which is aroused by hopeless condi-
tions. Among these are the victims of
iutoxicants ana opiates and of chronic
diseases, who, having no money to pay
for medical aid must be confronted
daily with agony of mind as well as
pain of body.
II is stated that Miss Helen Gould
receives, on an average, between 1900
and 1000 letters and packages every
week. Four hundred communications
sometimes arrive at her house in one
day. II the applications of a single
week, recently, had been granted, 1.-The
modest sum of s1,54S, SOP would have
been scattered broadcast all over the
country by Miss Gould AS NEARLY every
part Of the United States was heard
from and every thing imaginable was
asked from a peddling horse and cart
or a home for a young girl who wanted
to get married, to 81, 900, 900 with
which TO found a colony in Cuba"
Four girls wanted money 10 buy we'd
ding trousseaux and thirteen OF the
writers begged for means that would
enable them to take treatment for cure
of cancer, the morphine habit and
dipsomania. There were ten requests
for help in purchasing church organs
One minister would have been satisfied
with only q horse and buggy. Seven
letters informed Miss Gould that the
writers had named their children for
her.

In the death of Hon. John r. Dins-
more, which occurred at Macon last
week. Mississippi has lost one of her
truest isons and Noxubee County one
of its most popular and highly esteemed
citizens, having served eight years as
repre- sentative. Last year he was
elected to the Senate filing the position
with honor to himself and satisfaction
TO his constituency. We agree with
the Greenvillo Democrat when it states
that Mr.. Dinsmore was ian honorable
representative of the people; a splendid
business man, IN able lawyer, a true
friend, a sound democrat, a moral,
upright, Christian gentleman, and,
therefore, we repeat that his death is
a distinct loss to the State. The fu.
ture held higher honors for Mr.. Dins,
more had death not come and cut him
down while in the very prime of a
magnificent manhood"

is well known in Europe aud America
for her superior vocal attachments,
for the charm OF her lovely voice and
the magnetism of her handsome press
ence, but few, in comparison, know how
beautiful is Calve, the woman. She
spends every summer at her chateau at
Cavriere, zeal AveyrOn, France, with
her parents, brothers and sisters. To
the people of the village, Calve is a
ministering angel. She visits the
Door. feeds the sick with tempting
~delicacies, and shows an active inter-
est in all benevolent and charitable
work. She is very fond OF children
and will sit for hours surrounded by a
group OF adniring little ones, while she
relates, for their special entertainm ent
stories and particulars Of her travels
in foreign countries. This, from a
woman who passes much Of her life be-
fore ''the glitter and glare of the foot
lights!" A noble example to many rich
women who spend their time in luxur-
ious idleness.

a "hip-pocket" power, for the pistol or

The County Commissioners
have it in their power to mater
tally add to their individual rep
utations, as we'll as doing some
thing substantial for their county
by giving their attention to the
improvement of the county roads.
All over the county this question
is being discussed. In this county
we have every facility of better
ing the condition of our county
roads, and yet there is no move
ment to bring about the desired
result. In Hauver'S District
there is a most disgraceful piece
of road, in one of the most fire.
quented neighborhoods of the
county, and a section over which
all the summer guests at Blue
Ridge Summit have to pass,
yet nothing has been done for its
Improvement. The road from
Highfield up to Fox's Store, one
of the principal roads in the dis,
trict, is simply disgrace to the
county. Let Commissioner Harne
invite the board to ride over it
and the chances are that we will
have a new road.
