Death Claims Bright Little Child.

Death claimed the bright little two
and one half year old child. Cornelius
Hughes, of Mr.. and Mrs. w. A.
Prather Tuesday morning. Sept. Ia. at
their home at Tie Plant The little fel-
low was full of life and playful early
that morning but about I o'clock was
taken with congestion and in four hours
time the dreaded disease had done its
work and the little child's spirit went
home to God. He was an exceedingly
bright and sweet child and had not
failed to impress himself upon all who
got to know him. Death is always sad
but when the young and buoyant are
taken, it is doubly sad. But the fond
parents can rest in the consolation that
Heaven is brighter by their little child 8
going away and that he will plead with
the Angels for them and the other
loved ones left behind.
The funeral services were conducted
the next day from the residence by
Rev. I. P Trotter, pastor of the Bap-
tist church of this city. after which
the remains were laid to rest in Odd
Fellows cemetery.
To the grief stricken parents The
Sentinel extends the deepest sympathy.

Work Of Mississippi Anti. Tuber.
cuIOsis Campaign Committee

The greatest work yet Accomplished
by the Mississippi Anti-Tuberculosis
campaign committee, purposing to stop
the spread of consumption. has been
done this summer.
1t is an acknowledged fact that the
startling death rate from consumption
IN this state is due, largely to the ex-
istence of the disease among the col
ored people, and it's spread by them
among the white population.
The unsanitary, or rather lack OF any
sanitary conditions, in the home of the
negro is deplorable He is not so much
Indifferent to, as entirely Ignorant OF
any preventative measures that will
save him from this contagious disease.
Te meet this condition the Missis-
sippi ti-Tuberculosis campaign com
mittee has inaugurated plan of work
which not only provides the desperately
needed aid to the negro, but at the
same time proves great protection to
the white people against the spread of
consumption.
The plan is very simple. There has
been organized, under the auspices of the
| Anti-Tuberculosis committee, an Order
of Colored Crusaders of the Double
Red Cross in Mississippi. Every
preacher of every church in the state

composed for the most part, Of mem
bers of his congregation. The meeting
of the order to be held after the regu-
lar church services
The negro preacher is the natural
teacher of his race. His people obey
him.
The Anti tuberculosis committee fur
nishes the preacher with short lectures
explaining the nature of consumption
how contracted; how to tell when one
is suffering from the disease: what to
do when one has already contracted il
in order TO prevent giving it to others
and telling certain simple things to dc
in order to prevent the contracting OF
Il the disease. Sheets bearing cut illus

Public School Opening.

The public school in Grenada opened
for the fall session last Monday morn
ing. The devotional exercises were
conducted by Mr.. John Young of the
Presbyterian church. He read a very
appropriate passage of Scripture and
led in prayer. Prof. Hall, the superin-
tendent, after a few preliminary re-
marks, introduced Rev. rnnntiss,
president of the Grena, Chsooerv Cjer,
entertained the school and the auu....-
for about fifteen minutes with some
timely observations and admonitiOns.
MIR. Countiss was followed by Mr.. E..
c. Brewer. one of Grenada's most
promising young attorneys. Mr.. Brewer
was very practical in what he said and
endeavored to drive the lesson home to
the student body that they would get
out of the school what they put into it,
and the value of time.
All the faculty were on hand and
seemed to be bright and fresh and
ready for the work before them.
Miss Hinton, the Domestic Science
and Expression teacher, gave a read
ing which was heartily applauded. The
work Miss Hinton is undertaking ha:

Petition for Pardon.

To Hon. Earl Brewer. Governor.
Jackson. Miss.
Dear Sir
We, the undersigned citizens of Gre
NADIA county. State of Mississippi, re-
spectfully represent to your Excellency
that A. p. Magness was convicted in
March, 1913, in the town of kosciusko.
Alfalfa county, on the charge of muir
dering George Gillon in Grenada coun-
ty. We respectfully represent that
public sentiment was much infiamed
because of the unfortunate occurrence
and that the public mind was in such
state that made it impossible for Mag.
ness to get his witnesses to court and
all the facts as they really occurred, all
of which showed up to his detrment
and we believe led to his conviction.
Furthermore, we wish to state that Mr..
Magness enjoyed the confidence and
the esteem of his acquantances to
marked degree, that the people OF
Webster county honored him with two
terms in the sheriff's office, place hi
filed with signal credit. He had al
WAYS met his obligations as either
and was public spirited and identified
with the most progressive movements
in his community. We would furthel
show that he has made an ideal pris
oner and that since his incarceration
his wife has become so afflicted that
has been necessary to place her in on
of the hospitals for those of derang.e,
minds. All these things being consid
cred we respectfully urge upon yo
that the ends of justice and the lay
have been met and that you give Mag
ness his liberty.
Very respectfully submitted,
w. S. Willis,
Roland j. Rayburn,
VIM. Fenner, ct al.

twenty-five Good Suggestions
For Making Good Butter

l. The milk buckets should be washed
clean and thoroughly scalded.
2. The tanks and udder of the COW
should be washed with clean water and
thoroughly dried with a clean cloth.
3. The barn should be clean and
free from dust or any bad odors.
1t should be separated immedi-
the separator washed and
sca.-.- er each separating.
5. The milk should be removed from
the barn Immediately after milking.
s. When the cream from several
milkings is to be kept over and all
churned at one time, the cream from
each milking should be thoroughly
cooled Immediately after being sepa-
rated.
I. While souring or ripening. the
cream should be set in a place free
from odors or dust. preferably in shot
gun cases; which are easily immersed
in hot or cold water.
5. The temperature at which cream
should be ripened or or soured depends
on the time it is desired to churn.
Sweet cream set at 70 degrees F. will
be ready to churn IN eighteen hours.
Cream to be set longer than eighteen
hours should be kept in a lower tenn
perature. After ripening has begun
no sweet milk should be added
3. In raising or lowering the tenn
perature immerse the can in hot or
cold water. Never pour water into
the cream.
10. In cold weather ripening may be
hastened by adding little buttermilk
to the cream.
IL. Cream should be ripened until i
has pleasant sour taste and smooth
glossy appearance.
II. Always use dairy thermome
ter.
13. Regulate the temperature of the
cream at churning time SO thirty min
utes will be required to bring the but
ter
IA. Use barrel churn.
Is. In winter enough color should b.
added to the cream to give the butter
deep straw color.
ID. NEVER PUT HOT WATER
INTO THE CREAM.
II. Stop the churn when the butte
is in granules the size of kernel o
wheat. Draw off the buttermlk throug
coarce seive.
IS. To wash butter add clean col
water, give the churp two or thre
revolutions. draw off water and repea
until water comes away perfectly clear
10 and 20. Salt in the churn usini
about one ounce of salt for each poun
of butter. Let stand in churn for te
or fifteen minutes to give salt time t
dissolve.
q. Transfer from churn to worke
with ladle Work the butter unit
when one end of it is raised with tn
ladle it will bend to an angle of fort
degrees without breaking.
%. For printing use one poun
square mold.
%. Wrap in good grade of parch
ment paper. 1t is great advantag
to wet the paper thoroughly befor
using. Use pasteboard cartoons beal
ing name of your town or trade mari
Ship in regular shipping box made c
dressed poplar boards lined with parcl
ment paper
"a. The churn and all other woode
utensils should be thoroubly scalde
and cooled with cold water just befor
using
25 NEVER TOUCH THE BUTTE
WITH YOUR HANDS.
These same principles Apply whel
whole MIXED is churned, but where ;
a many as four or five cows are kept
= separator is indispensable.

SUFFRAGISTS HECKLE WILSON,
Two Women Try to Force Way to

New York, May 1S.-Miss Mabel
Schofeld a member of the Congress
sional Union for Woman Suffrage, and
Miss Florence Harmon. secretary OF
Mrs. O. II. p Belmont and Of the Po-
litical Equality league, attempted to
force a suffrage letter on President
Wilson at the luncheon in his honor
at the Biltmore hotel. Miss Schofield
was imprisoned twice in England for
her militant tactics The women re-
manned in the vicinity of the luncheon
hall until President Wilson was 60
ing out, when they ran toward the
door. Secret service men and guards
surrounded the president, and the
women, after trying vainly to force
their way between the men, jumped
upon plush couch few feet away
and Miss Schofield yelled:
Votes for women Votes for
women"
The president only smiled and
passed on. The letter requested the
president to grant an audience to the
suffragists before he left New York
1t was signed by Mrs. Belmont.
