Redwood City, Cal.-In accepting the qualifications of seventeen women for the San Mateo county grand jury ve- nire, Superior Judge George Buck in effect placed at least six women on the grand jury. Only thirteen men were named and the membership of the grand jury is limited to nineteen This will be the first instance in this state of women serving on a grand jury.
 Judge Buck accepted married wom- en, most of whom appear as "house wives" on the voting register.
 I've always wanted to get a jury that wouldn't gossip" said Judge Buck. There never has been grand jury in San Mateo county that could keep secret, and now we'll give the women chance"

Rev. Trout Much IndlSpOSed.

Much concern is felt in Grenada over
the physical condition of Rev. lraneus
Trout, Rector of the Episcopal church
in this city. Mr.. Trout underwent a
surgical operation some several weeks
ago at which time large tumor was
removed from his right groin. Since
then a cancerous growth has made its
appearance where tn e tumor was,
Eminent surgeons have been visited and
consulted but little encouragement has
been offered the patient as to stopping
the encroachments of the cancer. At
present certain serum is being used
which it is hoped will give desired re-
suits. Notwithstanding what the doc.
tors have said Mr.. Trout is bright and
cheerful ard faces the future with
fixed and steady purpose and is display,
ing a faith that knows no hating and
that is beautiful and almost sublime.
To be cheerful when the shadows are
about us and when the clouds are dark
and lowering comes only to those who
live above the miasma of life and who
look to things celestial for the, fui
realization of their ambition and the
fruiton of their hopes. The Sentine
hopes that medical science may discover
some remedy to restore the vigor o.
this big -souled man.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS BEGIN.
fIattering Prospects for Successful
Session. Trustees and Patrons
Attend Opening.

The Grenada city schools opened Mon
day morning. All the faculty were on
hand and the prospects are very flatter-
ing indeed. Supt. S. C. Hall is starting
on his sixth year and is held in high
esteem by the community. The follow
ing is a list of the faculty, beginning
with the hall teacher: Mrs. N. j.
Brown, Misses Elizabeth Huchins, Kate
Kincannon, Beulah Buckley, Mary
Moody, Bessie Sabin, Lizzie Horn, Mrs.
r. E. E. Jones, Misses Media McClesky,
Stella Robertson and Lucille Cook.
Miss Mary Lowe Collins of Ceffeeville
is instructor in music.
Besides the trustees number of the
patrons were present. The devotional
exercises were conducted by Rev. ]. A.
Hall of the Methodist church. DR.. j.
r. Countiss of Grenada College deliv-
cred very appropriate and practical
talk. He advised the students to take
the right aim and sought to impress
upon them the fact that their pa
rents were helping them now to take
aim by sending them to school, but that
the time would soon be that they would
have to aim for themselves. He told
them, too, that only very small part
of what is TO be learned is Incorporated
in books and that the person who relied
wholly upon books was a failure in life.
Mr.. Countiss stated that the use of
books was only means to an end and
the child that learned the quickest that
books were designed to develop the
brain, and were not tools, is the child
that in after years attains the greatest
success.
County superintendent James en-
dorsed all DR.. Countiss said and appeal
ed to the humorous side of the students.
He recounted the trials of number OF
the country's men that have attained
distinction and was very happy in his
reference to Abraham Lincoln, seeking
by such references to show the ease
with which an education may be gotter
now as compared with the days of Lin
coin. Mr.. James stated that he feared
that the rudiments of learning were
being overlooked and that the course Of
study in the public schools was being
too much crowded, especially in tht
lower grades.
Mr.. j. M. Brown, manager of tn,
Mississippi Cotton Oil Co., of this city
made brief talk in which he empha
sized the necessity of having numbe
of things on the public school grounds
: for the purpose of entertaining tn,
children as well as exercising then
during recess hours. Mr.. Brown hat
prepared petitions which he state'
;, would be circulated in the severa
, grades of the school and in turn pre-
sented to the trustees, asking for tn
: purchase of several things which ar
now being used on the Fairgrounds o

Several members of the faculty occu-
pied places on the platform.
DR.. Countiss, the president. made a
a talk to the teachers and students
which the visitors were glad to hear.
Mr.. Countiss endeavored to show what
was expected of both students and
teachers. He made it understood that
the girls of Grenada College were given
the best home care and attention ano
that the institution had no place for
"fast" girls or the one who did little
but fritter away her time. 1t was &
splendid school talk and met the hearty
approval of the audience.
| Grenada is proud of this great insti
tuition. 1t is the towns biggest asset
and is doing a great work for the young
girlhood of Mississippi.

100000 Instead of 100000.

In our editorial columns Of
Sept, 7, we commented on the al
lowarce of $4,000 made by the
chancery Judge at Meridian to
the three attorneys and two re-
ceivers of the defunct Union Bank
and Trust Co. When we made
that comment we were under the
impression that only 100000 had
been paid to the stockholders but
Hon. J. M. McBeth, one of the
attorneys, writes us that nearly
$780, 900 had been paid the stock
holders. We gladly make the
correction and take occasion here
to congratulate our distinguished d
friend, Mr.. McBeth.

Campaign Against tuberculosis.

l Mississippi, Utah, Nevada and
Wyoming are the only states in the
Union with no method or hospi tai for
the care of consumptives.
2 1920 deaths have occurred from
this disease in Mississippi during the
past eight months, according to the
records in the Bureau of Vital Statist-
les.
3 This represents an annual loss to
the state of s2,9l6, 900, valuing human
lives at Sl200 each.
4 The burial expenses, let alone the
care in illness, of these patients, Will
amount to more than $50, 600 year
5 Consumption is preyentable dis
ease. hence careless consumptives
should not be mixing with the public,
but they should have some hospital
or camp where they will be cared for.
6 1t is not right for US to provide no
place for the unfortunate, friendless
and pitiable consumptive, who, in his
poverty, is unable to help himself. The
hospitals of the state are open to the
the man who cuts his finger or has a
chill, but not to those who are in great
est need.
7 We present this to you in order
that you may know that We stand ready
with the state board of health, to moulC
public opinion in favor of any plans the
| legislature may adopt to remedy this
condition. We are gathering mucf
