ing week the drifts should be going
rapidly. and rush of mining men is ex-
pected.
The principal vein so far uncovered
varies from four to thirty feet wide.
Not enough prospecting had been done
to determine its characteristics. but the
samples received indicate from three to
forty-five and eight-tenths per cent
tungsten, while of course picked speci-
mems of much higher grade can be easi-
ly sorted.
When it is recalled that tungsten is
now quoted around $50 . unit Of 20
pounds, even three per cent tungsten is
worth $50 ton. The mineral can be
easily concentrated, and Mr. Lejune in
tends to use the machinery at the Blis-
tered Horn mill for this purpose, since
the first discoveries are not far from
that property. The high-grade ore will
be sacked and shipped for concentration
elsewhere.
On the heels of this sensational dis
eovery comes word Of tungsten ore

DR.. MIDDLETON COUNTY
HEALTH OFFICER.

DR.. J. B. Middleton received this
week the appointment of County
Health Officer for Grenada County
made vacant by the resignation of
DR.. j. W. Young. DR.. Middleton is
one of the good and substantial
citizens of Grenada county and is
enjoying good practice and it
goes without saying that he will
meet the important duties of the
very important post assigned to him
to the very best of his ability and
The Sentinel bespeaks for him the
aid and cooperation of the good
people of the county.
The duties of the County Health
Officer have been enlarged and such
demands are made upon him that
the salary paid in this county is now
but a mere pittance. Had the sal
ary been anything like adequate,
DR.. Young, who has served so
faithfully and so efficiently so long,
would not have resigned. Un-
doubtedly the ravages of disease
have been greatly reduced by the
medical profession and The Senti-
mel feels that the Supervisors will
take all these matters into consider
alton and fix the salary of this Off
cial at least somewhat in keeping
with the importance Of the position.
What would those places, where in
fantile paralysis is raging, do with
out health officers?

MR.. ALBERT LONG
CAUGHT IN SAND PIT.

Mr.. Albert Long was caught in a
sand pit in the western edge of town
on Wednesday of last week. The
weight of the sand on his back broke
it and he perhaps will never be a
well man again. He was carried to
a Memphis hospital the following
day and very little encouragement
was given the family as to what
might be done for him. 1t is indeed
sad misfortune Mr.. Long has al
ways been a quiet, hard working man
and it hasbeen his aim to be honest
with the world.
1t seems that Mr.. Long was en-
gagged in loading wagons that were
hauling sand and pending the time
between the loading of the wagons,
he stepped back kinder under the
bank in a hole where the sand had
ben taken out when the sand above
caved and caught him with the above
result. He was not wholly envelop-
ed in the sand but had not some col
ored men, who were working with
him, been near, he, perhaps, would
have died before aid reached him.

FRANKLIN MAKES SPEECH
Congressional Candidate Says He is
A DemOCrat--The Quarrel Be.
tween Brother WinSIOW.

Hon. C. E. Franklin of Pontotoc
county, candidate for Congress,
spoke at the court house in Grenada
on Thursday night of last week to
a small audience. Mr.. Franklin
would have been greeted by good
sized audience had there not come
a heavy rain short while before
the hour he was to begin speaking.
Mr.. Franklin was presented very
happily by Senator Blount, Who re-
ferred to Mr.. Franklin's eight years
record in the senate and the fact
that during that time he was the au-
thor of the present Uniform Text
Book Law and the Agricultural
High School Law. Mr.. Franklin ac-
kpowledged very gracefully Mr.
Blount's introduction and at once
launched into his speech. He ssaid
he was running as a Democrat and
would stand by the President if
sent to Washington. He said that
both his opponents, Messrs Sisson
and Ward, were his friends and
that he had supported Mr.. Sisson
when he ran for Governor He
said that Sisson and Ward were
were brothers-in-law and that they
were now in quarrel about the
race for Congress and that he
did not think the people of the dis
trict wanted them to regard the of
flee as family affair and that be
thought the best way to settle the
quarrel was to elect him.. He said
that Montgomery county had been
furnishing the Congressman so
long that his opponents felt that
they had an inherent right to the
place. He discussed preparedness
and few other leading issues and
said that he stood where his party
stands on these great questions,
with President Wilson and John
Sharp Williams. Mr.. Franklin said
that he stood on these issues just
where he stood when he started out
in this race but that Sisson and
Ward had both swapped positions.
He said that he was for the Ship
Purchase Bill and that Sisson is, too,
now but that he was against the law
at first. Mr.. Franklin had good at
ention and he expressed the hope
of being able to get back again be-
fore the primary under more favor
able conditions.

L. I. COLLINS PASSES AWAY

The serious illness of Mr.. I. 7.
Collins noted in The Sentinel last
week resulted in his death on Satur-
day afternoon at $50 O'Clock. The
funeral services were conducted Sun
day afternoon from the Meth list
Church after which interrment was
had in Odd Fellows Cemetery.
Mr.. Collins would have reached
his 42nd birthday October the
twelfth, next. had he lived that long.
He was a son of Captain J. L. COL
Inns Of Cotfeeville. but had lived in
Grenada for about twenty ysars
having been for the past six or
eight years in the employ of the Gre
NADIA Oil Mill as Cashier He was
quiet, unastentious man but rue
in all of his relations and those who
knew him best esteemed him most.
For years Mr.. Collins has been a
member of the Methodist Ch.~ch
and was regular attendant of the
Mems Bible Class in the Sunday
School and it was significant indeed
that those who were associated With
him at Sunday School showed their
great esteem and respect for him by
attending his funeral in a body. He
talked with his pastor very comDos-
edly about the future and even went
so far as to state what hymns he
wanted sung when the last services
were said over his remains. 4 faith
that sustains when one faces the
Judgment is the faith that pleases
the Savior of the world.
Mr.. Collins is survived by a wife
and one little son. besides his par
ents and other relatives. to all of
whom The Sentinel extends sincere
sympathy
