IRENE DAVIS SHARPE

On Monday night III l1:40 O'Clock,
the death angel entered the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene Sharpe and
took their baby, little Irene Davis.
Though she had only been with
them six weeks. the little life had so
entwincd itself about the hearts of
loved ones that her going away
brought deepest sorrow.
Her little life was one of suffering.
Nothing that medical attention or
loving hands could do was left I'm
done but the Lord needed another
lily for His garden. Naturally we
would grieve, but when VIC think of
the bliss little Irene now enjoys we
would not call her back. The bright
little eyes that we see no more are
watching for father, mother and low
ed ones and the dear little hands arc
beckoning us on to Glory.
The funeral was held at the home

MAKE OUR CATTLE FEED
SOLDIERS-NOT TICKS.
A War Slogan for the South.

Washington, D. c., June Faced
by the war demand for more meat,
lie tus take advantage of an oppor-
tunity which lies close to hand. Let
US recognize that it is our definite
duty to turn our abundant grasses,
our cheap and available concentrated
feeds, and our mild climate to good
account in the production of beef and
milk and butter. And let us realize
that to do this we must work together
to remove the great obstacle-the
tick.
Not only will the elimination of the
tick make possible the greater and
more profitable development of our
native cattle. 1T will make possible
also the brining in of better beef and
milk producing stock which now can
not live under the attacks Of ticks
and the deadly germs of cattle fever
which they transmit. determination
of the tick, therefore, will give us
quick, direct returns in the form of
increased growth of native stock,
and it will at the same time lay a
firm foundation for the building up
of a much more profitable cattle
raising industry in a year or two
while the wal still may be in progress.
The South's battle against the tick
must not lag. 1t is not work which
may be dropped during the course of
war, the U. S. Department Of Agri-
culture points out. Rather it must
be jushed the more vigorously in or
der that territory may be rescued
from the unsatisfactory and often
Improbable cattle raising which the
tick imposes, and devoted to the more
efficient and more profitable produc-
ton of meat and milk whichc may
be carried on in unq%uarantined ter
ritory.
The tick works for our enemies by
keeping down the supply of three of
our most important foods. Let us
recognize this pest, therefore, as an
enemy also. And let us wage against
him, from today IN, without interrupt
ton, a war of determination.

-OMMENCEMEN SERMON.
BY Rev. Joel D. Rice, of Cascilla

Services at all the churches in Bel
ing in order that all might attend the
commencement m to the grad
uating class of the high school by
Rev. Joel D. Rice. of Cascilla, Miss,
father of Prof. T. d. Rice. of this
place.
The services opened with a class
chorus and an invocation by the Rev.
W. o. Wagner, following which the
congregation was asked to sing Amer
lea, and there was a second chorus
by the class. After the scripture
reading by the Reverend Rice, Mrs.
NJ. D. Alexander. always much appre-
ciated as a ~soloist, favored the class
and audience with a vocal selection.
The Rev. Joel D. Rice chose for his
subject, what is TRUTH A mar
forty years in the ministry, he spoke
from a life of experience in searching
the truths of life and it was especially
fitting that he addressed a class of
young people just to go from schools
into business and social life.
Illustrations he used, the Reverend
Rice drew from a life lived in the
formation of the p~resent-day South.
He spoke of the problems arising dur
ing the Civil War and of no less SIM
pie or less important problems that
O then and that must be met by
the graduating class in the next few
years, and outlined for the class
methods of their solution through
clean. upright living and a faith in a
Supreme Being.-Belzoni Item.
