6. G. Penn Meets Tragic End.

The news was received in Grenada on
Friday night of last week at an early
hour that Mr.. C. C. Penn had Just died
near Columbia, La. The news was in
deed a shock not only to the good wife
and dear little children of the deceased.
but to the entire community. Two
wears ago Mr.. Penn and family moved
near Columbia ON a farm because of
some extraordinary opportunities that
were offered him. Only recently he
brought his family back to Grenada for
school advantages, but he decided to
remain on the farm. Mr.. S. B. Pipkin
was making his home with him. 1t
seems that on the fatal night, Mr.. Penn
was slightly indisposed and as he was
about ready to retire, Mr.. Pipkin sug-
gested that it would be we'll for him to
take some medicine. Mr.. Penn, acting
on his friends suggestion, reached for
the mantel and took what at the mo-
ment he thought was medicine but
which proved to be carbolc acid, that
caused his death in thirty minutes. A
physician was summoned from Co.
Iumbia, two miles away, but he did not
arrive until the deadly drug had wrought
it's work. Thus again is emphasized the
lesson that 1--WE know not the day nor
the hour" and that "a man to-day in
rich array tomorrow may be laid in clay"
Charley Penn was man of many
noble parts. He had but few intimates
but those closest to him esteemed him
most. He was an indulgent and de-
voted husband, loving father and con-
siderate friend. He kept his obliga-
tions and he lived at peace with the
world. The remains reached Grenada
at clock Sunday morning and were
Immediately conveyed to the family
residence. The funeral services were
held at the residence Sunday afternoon
at 2:3O O'Clock by Rev. j. C. Carothers
of the Presbyterian assisted by Rev. J.
A. Hall of the Methodist church after
which the remains were carried to Odd
Fellows Cemetery for interment.
The community sorrows with the dis
tressed wife and four children over this
sad affection. The Sentinel tenders
sympathy.

When is Plagiarism:

A man of distinction, man of the
diplomatic body in Washington IN fact,
is charged by the "Nation," New
York literary journal, with plagiarism
from William H. Dawson's book upon
1.-The Evolution of Modarn Germany"
The accused delivered an address upon
"The Development of Germany as a
World Power" before the American
Academy of Political and Social Science,
Nov. 6, 1909, and the Nation declares
he took his address almost bodily from
Dawson's work that was published in
1908.
Many other distinguished men, in
cluding Shakespeare, have suffered the
like charge of being plagarists. Seneca,
in his letters remarks: Whatever has
been well said by any one is my proper
ty." Moliere is credited with declaring
"I take my property where | find it. "
Terrence asserts that nothing is said
nowadays that has not been said be-

some of the gravest and latest writers

former works, without making ac-

truly charged, is in pretty good COM
pany; but, still, there is distinction
made even among plagarists. Milton
says: "For such borrowing as this, if
it be not bettered by the borrower,

In this case there is hardly a claim
that the diplomatist bettered what he

Six 1915 Resolutions
For Southern Farmers.

/. l Shall Start Trying to Have
Rich Land-Realizing that a fertile
soil is the basis of all agricultural
wealth. | resolve that my ands shall
be stopped from washing away, that !
shall grow winter and summer legumes
to add to my soil fertility and to avoid
heavy fertilizer bills, and that i shall
carefully save every pound of barnyard
manure.
2. Shall Try to Live at Home
knowing that the individual or the
community that depends on buying
bread and meat and feed from sections
that cannot grow these products as
cheaply as we can, will never mean
more than soil poverty and human pow
erty, mean hence forth to make my
farm self-sustaining farm, with
good living for myself and family as
its primary business.
3. Shall be a Co-Operative
Farmer-Buyng and selling constitute
an important element in making the
farm profitable, and that these may be
done most effectively and economically,
pledge myself to max 2 an effort to CO.
operate with my neighbors in buying
and selling in quantities so that mer-
chants may give US better rates, and in
grading and marketing farm products
so as to get better prices, but also in
buying and using improved machinery
and in getting better sires for improv-
ing our livestock.
4. l Shall Work for school and
NeighbOrhOOd Progress-U Under
starding that there can be no power
without knowledge. no material or NOR
al progress without adequate training,
| mean to do my part toward having a
local school as neighborhood center
for community development and en-
lightenment. To do this | realize the
necessity for suitable buildings and
grounds, for good teachers, and for
such consolidation and rearrangement
of districts as is necessary to furnish
adequate support not only for strong
school but for all the agencies of a
richer community life. For the attain
ment of these | pledge my untirng
efforts.
3. Shall Ann at Joyous
Existence for the Whole Family
: Our farm must be home, rather
than a mere place to live, and in order
that mothers work may be lighteneC
and made more joyous, in order thai
: our boys and girls may learn to know
: and cleave to the wholesomeness of life
in the country, | resolve to equip oul
home with all the labor saving improve
ments possible, to see that there is al
abundance of healthful reading matter
and to encourage neighborhood games
1 athletic contests and social intercourse
t 6. | Shall Keep at It-And finally
j knowing that success in these thing
: can only come after persistent, untirinl
e effort, hereby enlist for life as a work
