MOTHER OF IL SAYS
LIFE WAS A BURDEN.
Mrs. Dora Upchurch Says She Suffer
ed from One Days End to
Another.

81 believe this medicine has kept
me out of the grave, for to tell you
the plain truth l don't see how |
could have lived much longer" said
Mrs. Dora Upchurch, 345 Wylie
Street, Atlanta. Mrs. Upchurch is
the mother of eleven children, and is
one of the best known and most
highly respected women of Atlanta.
Il had indigestion of the worst
kind" she continued, "but for nearly
a year l suffered more from rheuma-
tism than anything else. l also suf-
fered from female troubles, and all
these troubles together just pulled
me edown until l was getting so |
could hardly go at all. To tell you
the truth, my life was almost a bur-
den.
Il couldn't eat anything hardly
without suffering afterwards, and al
ways after eating l would have a full,
uncomfortable feeling. At times l
would have dizzy spells and would
get so blind l could hardly stand on
my feet without danger of falling.
The rheumatism would hurt me so
bad ! couldn't sleep at night, and it
JUST SccIuCu Inc 1 was Ill SOme klIlu
of pain from one days end to anoth-
er. l felt tired and worn out and
unfit for work, and couldn't take in
terest in anything on account of my
condition. No kind of medicine
esemed to do me any good and l lost
weight and strength continually.
This is just the condition l was in
when my husband got me to try Tan
lac. He said he was sure it would
help me, because it had done so much
good for him. l hadn't been taking
it any time hardly until l could see
all the difference in the world in my
feelings. l actually gained ten
pounds on the first three bottles and
had to have my clothes let out be-
they were getting too tight
for me.
1.-The rheumatic pains have left me
almost entirely and l sleep fine at
night. My appetite is good, too, and
l can eat anything l want and as
much as l want and have no more
trouble with indigestion. It's simply
wonderful what this medicine has
done for me, and l just don't know
what l would have done without it.

MRS. B. L. SINGLETON is DEAD.

Mrs. B. L. Singleton died at her
home in Holcomb on the night of
June 2, and her remains were in
tered Sunday in the Spring Hill
church burying ground, the funeral
services being conducted by Rev. A.
B. Morris, from the Methodist church
in Holcomb.
Mrs. Singleton was born in 1912.
She came with her husband and chill
dren to Grenada county from Pamela
county near Como about twenty-five
years ago, and has ever since resided
where she was when the end came.
She was one of those good women
who felt that her first and greatest
duty was to her home and to those of
her own household and in this realm
she ruled as queen. She has left a
splendid legacy to the world in her
children, all of whom are intelligent
and trustworthy and useful men and
women. She was a member of the
Primitive Baptist church.
Besides her husband she is sur
vived by two daughters, Miss Lydia
and Mrs. l.. R. Fulmer, of Holcomb,
and three sons, j. F., l. L. and w. D.
Singleton. To those who grieve for
wife and mother, The Sentinel offers
sympathy.

MISS DOTY TEACHING
SUMMER SCHOOL

The Sentinel desires to state for
the benefit of the parents and the
children of Grenada that Miss Carrie
Doty is now teaching a summer school
at the High School building in Gre
NADIA. The school is primarily run
at the instance of the public school
authorities in order that those chill
dren who have fallen behind in their
grades or who lost time from school
on account of sickness or otherwise,
may have an opportunity to get up on
the studies they are deficient in,
thereby saving perhaps a year to
them in the school. Time is an i'm
portant element both to the parent
and to the child. 1t will be unfor-
tunate if those who. have failed in
their studies do not utilize the oppor-
tunity to attend this school, which
will run altogether for six weeks.
Miss Doty is thoroughly capable. 1t
will be recalled that she made a fine
record as a student in the public
school and her record at the College
was among the best. The Sentinel
vouches for her doing good and
faithful work. Those who have not
already started their children who
failed in any of their studies
would do we'll to see Miss Doty at
once. The tuition is IS per pupil for
the term of six weeks.

MISS BARBARA HARDY is DEAD.

Miss Barbara Hardy died at the
home of her nephew, in Grenada
Mr.. j. j. Hardy, on Tuesday of this
week in the 18th year of her age,
The funeral services were conducted
fromthe First Baptist church at 8
o'clock Wednesday morning by the
pastor, Rev. ]. B. Quin, after which
her body was laid to rest in Odd Eel.
lows cemetery.
This meek, gentle and good woman
died as she had lived trusting in the
riches of a Risen Lord. She was the
ministering angel to those among
whom she moved; she thought kindly
thoughts and beautifully exemplifed
in her own quiet, transformations way
many of the richest virtues of woman
hood. She had long been a member
of the Baptist church and implicitly
believed in the Scriptures as inter-
preted by that branch of the Chris
tian faith and the doctrines of that
congregation were almost sacred to
her. Those who knew this good ladv
best esteemed her most and she will
be sadly missed by all who had the
good fortune to know her.
The Sentinel tenders sympathy n
those who mourn.

MRS. HESTER SLACK
DIED IN MEMPHIS.

Mrs. Hester Slack died in a Men,
phls hospital about noon on Tuesday
of this week and her remains were
brought to Grenada on the train that
arrives at 1891 p. m. Wednesday,
and carried direct to the Episcopal
church where they remained until the
funeral hour. The funeral services
were conducted by the Rector, Rev.
+. A. DeMiller. Interment was had
in Odd Fellows cemetery, where the
body was placed beside that of her
husband, j. J.. Slack, who departed
this life more than a half dozen years
ago.
Some weeks ago Mrs. Slack sus-
tanned a fall which broke her hip.
She was Immediately carried to Mem
phis for treatment but owing to her
advanced age, recuperation and new
growth for the bone was impossible,
thus she declined from day to day
until the end came.
There was much history connected
with the life of this lady. She came
on the scene during some of the
darkest days of the history of the
South and was a member of a family
that was regarded as among the most
potent in carving out new paths for
the development and life after the
war. Her brother, DR.. VIM. Nc
Swine, was one of the factors that
played a prominent part in the poll
tics of Grenada county. Mrs. Slack
was we'll educated and highly Gull
tured and a woman of fine native in
t~ellect, all of which gave her unusual
charm and caused her to be regarded
as one safe to counsel with and a sure
and steady friend.
She met all the requirements of
wife, mother and friend. She lent
her influence always in a womanly
way for the promotion of those
things that brought out the best in
life and that made for enduring
character and lasting friendships.
Her mind was active to the last and
she laid down life's burdens as one
who had fought a good fight and who
had kept the faith.
The funeral services were attend
ed by numbers of relatives and
friends from out of town besides
many from Grenada.
Mrs. Slack is survived by a daugh-
ter, Mrs. Annie Jones, and other
relatives all of whom have the sym-
pathy of the community.

Burr & Knapp were interested.
Papers in the suit were filed today in
the superior court.
I Since leaving this city Long has has
been cond letting a banking business
in Rochester, N. Y, with William K.
Foster. Prior to Sept. 10, 1914, 1t is
claimed they had an oral agreement
with the Trust Co. by the terms of
which Long and his partner were to
get commissions for sales Of mort
cages in Vermont. They declare they
spent considerable money building up
a business in that state.
After the failure of the Burr &

Boston Coal Dealers
"Gouged" the Public

Washington, August 25.-Boston
coal dealers, the federal trade COM
mission reported today, with few
notable exceptions did not hesitate
during the spring months this year
to take advantage of the necessities
of the public and to charge for an
thracite az price that, Melted them I'M
reasonable margins"
The commissions report, resulting
from the Investigation it made of the
retail coal situation in several large
cities, says Individual dealers in obs
ton made margins of profit far ex-
ceeding the average and that on egg
coal alone five large retailers and
three small dealers during April made
profits greater than $3.50 ton. The
same profits were taken by certain
dealers during May, and one large re-
taller. who increased his supply by
81 per cent. in the face of a consid-
cradle shortage, made profits rang
Ing from 1886 to SAP ton on var
ious sizes.
The receipts of coal for all Boston,
however, during April and May were
below those of the preceding year for
the same period. Favoritism in dis
tributing coal to dealers is shown by
the report that says that while 16 IA
vored retailers got more coal this
year than they did last year. So got
less.
One Of the favored retailers sol
more than half the increase.
