Death of Capt. c. B. Hood

Died, at the home of his son,
DR.. E. D. Hood in this city, Sun
day afternoon at $50 O'Clock,
Capt. C. B. Hood. aged SO years.
The illness that brought to a
close this eventful life was OF
short duration. The skill of the
physician and the loving care OF
those nearest and dearest to him
could not stay the tide and it was
their sad duty to stand beside the
bed of the dying and watch life's
ebbing tide drift the beloved
father slowly. but surely, into
the great ocean of eternity. But
from the inspired words the be-
reaved find consultations: 81 walk
through the valley Of the shadow
Of death, l will fear no evil; for
Thou art with me; Thy rod and
Thy staff they comfort me. :"
Thus closed the life of this noble
man.
Charles B. Hood was born in
St. Clair county, Ala, in Deem
Der. 1923. He was the fifth of
a family of nine children With
the family he moved to Monroe
county, Miss, and at the age of
81 years he left the parental roof
and engaged in farming. He
soon drifted to Pontotoc where
he became a clerk for the firm of
Martin & Duke. where he was
employed until the civil war.
He soon volunteered and was
elected second lieutenant of Co.
F. 41st Mississippi regiment.
which was commanded by Gen.
w. F. Tucker. He was in the
battle of Perryville. where he
was slightly wounded. Suisse
q1ently he took part with his
regiment in the battles of Murph-
reesboro, Chickamauga, Mission
airy Ridge, and in the engage
ments during the one hundred
days fighting around Atlanta, and
the battle of Jonesboro. At DIAL
ton he was promoted to- captain.
With Gen. Hoods army he went
to Tennessee, and was in the bat
tie of Franklin, where all of the
superior officers were shot down,
and at its close he was in COM
mand of the brigade. He was
also in the battle of Nashville,
and when the end came his regi
ment disbanded in North Caro-
DINA. AS a soldier he bore him
self superbly, and his fidelity to
the cause he espoused never
wavered, and to the last breath
he was true to the inspiration of
patriotism that prompted him to
go forth and battle for his
country.
After the war he went back to
Pohtotoc and clerked for Martin
& Duke. In 1873 he came to
Tupe|o and formed a co-Dartner-
ship, the firm being Clark Hood
& Co. This firm for many years
did the leading business Of this
section. AS a business man he
was always prompt and his rec
ord as a merchant is a monument
to his sound judgment and bust
ness integrity. He made his way
solely by his own efforts. and
was a man Of generous impulses,
never forgetting the hospitable
ways Of the pioneer. The stran-
ger. though a beggar, never tail
ed to find food and shelter il he
sought it at his hands. He de-
lighted in a | kind. and neighb,r-
" offices. He had borne advers-
i Y bravely and enjoyed prosper
ity quietly. He was a member
of thu Presbyterian church and
served in e caraci y of Elder
many years. He was on The
loa d of trustees of the public
S moods, was alderman, and in
these positions he displayed q
conscientious regard Tor his duty
IS a public servant.

Free Scholarships.

Washington. Feb. 1.-Presi-
dent Finley. of the Southern
Railway Co., announced today
that, as a. means of supplement-
ing the extensive work being
done by the Southern Railway,
the Southern Railway in Missis-
sippi, the Mobile and Ohio Rail-
road and the Alabama Great
Southern Railroad, for the ad.
vancement of agriculture in the
territory traversed by the lines
of these companies, it has been
decided to inaugurate scholar
ships in the State Agricultural
College of Mississippi.
Mr.. Finley will take this mat
ter up at once with the president
OF the agricultural college, ask
ing him to permit the companies
to pay for the scholarships and
to select the young men to be
benefited by them. The scholar.
ships, which are to cover the
full four-year course in agricul-
ture, are to be awarded in &C.
cordance with plans to be agreed
upon between the president of
the college and the railway CON-
panies and are to be given to
young men residing in counties
traversed by the lines of these
companies. and who would other
wise be financially unable to
avail themselves of an agricul-
tural college training. AS soon
as arrangements have been def
nitely perfected, full details as
to the scholarships to be awarded
will be announced.

THE HOSPITAL PROPOSAL

One of the important questions the new city council will have to decide will be as to the establishment of a hospital in the Fifth ward The re. tiring city council might have an. swered the question finally, but reve- nue for the immediate improvement was not sufficient. so the whole af. fair went over.
 The city owns lot close adjoining the Presbyterian church, used for fire department purposes. Within a short time the city will begin the construction of fire department headquarters there.
 President Ellis of the board Of heal Is inslstent that the city should have an emergency city hospital. and that it should be in connection with the fire department building there, as the old Barry hospital was situ- ated
 This proposal brought forth an i'm. mediate complaint from the property owners of the surrounding section. They had known conditions under the old system, and there is no dis putting the old Barry hospital. as op. erated there, was a nuisance.
 But the Barry hospital and a city emergency hospital have entirely diff ferent missions, and where one has been nuisance, the other might nev. CT be, but on the other hand. might prove, as 1t would be aimed to be, a great boon to humanity.
 The emergency hospital is designed for immediate treatment of accidents and victims of combat If some unfor- tunate Is run over and injured he Is conveyed to the city jaii, and on the jail floor sewei up, and permitted to suffer about the jail premises in the co..RaHy with iail birds, until he can leave.
 If some poor devil of the under. world is cut or shot, he goes through the same process, with the chances all against any physician being able to do full measure of justice to the injuries because of the circumstances.
 An emergency city hospital would not harbor these long. but would be aimed to give them in proper man. ner that quick and cleanly attention that the situation demands.
 Of course such an emergency hos pital could be operated anywhere, but the city is going to build a one story engine house on this property, and an other story would serve the emer gency hospital purpose, and save the city rentals and other expense.
 The whole question resolves itself down to one of the arrangements, and we believe the present and future city administration can be depended on to give the Fifth ward property owners square deal by keeping the premises free from nuisance as larger hospitals and saniiariums are oper ated.

Teachers on Horseback.
From Harper's Weekly.


Reports from abroad indicate that
Italy's new plan for the education of her
mountain people is in successful opera
ton. There has always been a very high
percentage Of illiteracy among the inhab-
itants OF the Abruzzi, and statistics have
shown that, in spite Of the establishment
Of schools in many Of the towns and viii
lagos, by far the greater portion OF the
population remains illiterate.
1t was contended by many persons that
since the people Of the Abruzzi had Deen
ignorant and unlettered for centuries they
had lost the aptitude to learn. A distin-
guished educator. however, discovered the
real cause. He observed that the gov
eminent schools in the towns and VILLAGES
were not well attended. not because the
boys were not willing to go to them, but
because they could not. The majority or
the people Of that region are shepherds
and spend nine months OF each year IN
the mountains. living in huts and tending
their focks. The plan was that, instead
of having schools with teachers and
empty benches teachers should be sent
TO the boys up in the mountains, Wnere
classes might be held The plan appeal
ing to influential members of the board
Of education, fifteen teachers were &C
cordingly furnished with horses and IN
structed to ride out every day and beat
the country for pupils. Wherever they
found boys or men willing to learn they
were to stop and teach. 1t was soon
found that the fifteen teachers had their
hands full for II was discovered that the
shepherds, young and old, were not only
willing to learn to read and write, but
extremely quick and intelligent as well.

nounces the Modern

NEW YORK, July S.-Tne Rev. Ed
ward F. Harrigan, pastor Of st. Patrick 8
Church, Long Island City, one of the
largest Roman Catholic parishes in
greater New York, caused a decided SEN
sation among his parishioners by de-
voting his Sunday sermon to a denun-
citation of some Of the modern dances,
particularly the so-called turkey trot.'
Such dances, the priest declared. are
mot only immoral. but criminal He
said that if he were sitting as magis-
trate and were asked to sentence couple
charged with dancing the turkey trot, "
he would send the young woman to the
penitentiary for a year and the man to
the county Jail for three months.

white way" he added. ARE less immoral
than the so-called respectable young
women who dance these dances
The sermon came as the result Of an
incident at a church festival last week.
when two of the parish's prominent
young people were elected for dancing
