The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1908-11-21

There are many happy homes,
thank God, in every community, and
when they exist there goes out frcm
them a blessed influence, which can
hardly be OvereStimated. "A real
home with o mother In it," whose
hoSpitable doors are ever open to
those not so blessed, is a wonderful
power for good. If the boys and girls
are made welcome they will not be
slow to tell it. and there will be an
attraction in the sweet amenities Of
home which will draw them from
other and less holy influences. 1t is
not possible in this world so full Of
care and trouble to be always merry.
1t is quite possible to be always loving
and kind. II the business cares of
the father and the never ending
struggles of the mother with dirt and
disorder, cooking, washing, ironing
and mending, cannot be baDished.
they can be wonderfully toned down
by the loving sympathy and help
which each member Of the household
can and should give to the other. A
home where the golden rule is lived
is the nearest possible approach to
heaven. The day comes all too soon
when the household is scattered-the
boys and girls, alas! girls no longer
are gone to make homes for them
selves, elsewhere; when some. per-
haps, are laid away from our sight,
out Of reach of kind words or helpful
Happy are we if no sorrowfnl
thoughts haunt us, Of hasty words
and unkind deeds, if only pleasant
remain. We may, If our
means allow, make our homes beauti-

Home Circle

A hovcl is often more a home than
a palace. If the spirit Of congenial
friendship links not the hearts OF the
inmates If a dwelling it is not home.
If love reigns not there; if charity
spreads not her downy mantle over
all; if peace prevails not; if virtue
rear not her beautiful CHILDREN, and
religion comes not in her white robe
of gentleness to lay her hand in bene-
diction on every head, the home is not
complete.

More and more as we grow we ap-
preciate the flner traits that are in
human nature. Men going out into
life forget the mother who
stays at home. and who has presented
to them a nature with a reason dOmi-
nant with a high moral sense, with
taste, with patience, with gentieness,
with self sacrifice, and with disinter-
eStedncSS. A man may 20 through
all the world. he may run through
every stage of belief and disbelief. but
there will be n picture that he can
not efface. Living or dying, there
will rise up before him like a morning
star the beauty Of that remembered
goodness which he called mother"

Washington. June Secretary
Taft was appealed to by the Mer-
chants association of New York and
the Trades Leagues Of Philadelphia
to use his influence in behalf of credit
currency.
Representatives of both associa-
tions said that they had come to Sec
rotary Taft in the hope that the ques-
ton might in a manner be taken up
at the Chicago convention and made
a part of the platform.
TAFT gave it as his opinion that any
currency plank which the Republican
platform might contain should state
the object to be attained rather than
any specific method of reaching the
desired result. He dsclaimed any
right to dictate to the convention on
the subject.

Chicago. June 11.-Talk OF Tafts
The plan is discussed OF states with
favorlte sons nominating and sup
porting them and then changing TO
Taft before the vote is announced.
The vice-presidency is the absorbing
topic. Taft men want a New Yorker
on the ticket. II Is understood that
New York was Informed If It picks a
satisfactory man he will get the nom
nation.
Taft was given the delegates in the
third. tenth and thirteenth. and in
the sixth both delegations were seat
ed with a half vote each.
The Foraker men made a strong
fight In this district because it was
the Old home OF the senator and they
were anxious to secure its votes for
him.
TAFT delegates in the First and
Fifth South Carolina districts were
seated. That gives Taft 491. Just
enough to nominate him. In the
Tennessee contests each side was
given two hours.
Calvin Mcknight Of New York. ar
rived canyassing the situation for a
New Yorker for vice president. He
announced that Hughes won't with
draw and predicts he won't get the
solid New York vote.
It is the hope of the national COM
mittee that II will be able to finish its
work by today. Much important
work is stated for the committee Sat
urday and Monday and Il is earnestly
desired that the hearings be over in
ample time 10 allow sufficient atten

the end of the labor OF the national
committee fairly well in sight, the
discussion turned 10 the possible

Daugherty expressed the belief that

COLORBD SCHOOLS
ASK WASHINGTON
HERE NEXT YEAR

On the commencement the school
board is $64 in the hole, which is not
relished by the trustees, as the fnan-
cial condition of the board is not
pleasant. On the white commence
ment the expenses were $12O, and
the receipts $55, while the expenses
of the colored commencement were
800 and the receipts $1O1. The
shortage will have to come. out OF
the treasury. Next year the colored
schools will try and have Booker T.
Washington speak to the graduates.
Prof. J. Jackson. of the Lincoln High
school, has started paper to secure
contributions. Washington will come
for $500, and as the school board
would be unable to stand the ex-
pense. contributions will be taken.

CLOSE MARKET ON
FOURTH OF JULY
PLAN OF MASTER

Market Master Charles Bell has
secured the promise of every butcher
an the market to take a half holiday,
July 4, which comes on Saturday this
year. In the morning the meat mar
ket will be open as usual, and the
public will be asked to make all their
purchase in the morning. Since Mr.
Bell has secured the promise of the
butchers to close. he will ask the
soard of prblic works for permission
TO close the doors of the market on
the afternoon of July 4. Several
times on holidays the market master
has gotten the promise from the
butchers that they will not go TO the
market in the afternoon, and one or
wo dealers would go and do a land
)ffice business. BY closing the doors
Mr.. Bell believes that every butcher
will get a square deal.
The closing of the meat department
will not affect the truck gardeners,
as they have the ends, which are not
inclosed. Doubtless many of the
marketers win not go in the after
noon, and the market will be quiet
on Saturday afternoon for the first
time in years.
