MRS. A. GERARD
PASSES AWAY

Mrs. A. Gerard answered her last
earthly summons Tuesday morning at
a little past o'clock at her home in
Grenada. Her funeral was held at
, the Episcopal church by the Rector.
Rev. E. A. DeMiller, on Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock, after which
the remains We're followed by large
concourse of friends and relatives to
Odd Fellows cemetery where they
were laid to rest.
Mrs. Gerard had been in bad health
for number of years, but only with
in the past ten days did her condition
begin to be regarded as critical She
was about 60 years of age. Her
maiden name was Ashford. She was
known for her good deeds and more
for her thoughtfulness of the sick. .
needy and distressed than for her
attentions to society. Her minis
trations to the sick or those in sor-
row was not confined to any par
ticular set but all who needed as
sistance or a comforting word were
objects of her solicitude and atten-
tion. She was as a ministering an
gel she was the thoughtful and ever
SoHCilouS lllenu. lTuly IL may De
said of her, Il was sick and We Wis
tied me; | was an hungered and We
gave me to drink" Such character
can not have failed to leave its i'm
press for good on any yscommunity but
all these things will add to that crown
which the redeemed of heaven are
promised and which the hosts of the
eternal city took delight in placing
upon the head of this faithful and
Jealous woman when she was admit
ted to the heavenly home Her good
deeds will long live in the hearts and
lives of not only her bereft loved
ones, but of the people of Grenada
who are richer in the sweeter and
nobler things of life because of her.
Mrs. Gerard is survived by de-
voted husband and two sons. Ash
ford and Frank, both of whom are
married and living useful and honor
ed lives. Few mothers ever gave
themselves more unreservedly to
their children than did Mrs. Kate
Gerard, as she was so generally
called. and the sowing of her life will
bear fruit in the lives of her sons.
The Sentinel tenders sincere sym
pathy to the griefstricken.

BETTER BAB|ES',
DAY IN GRENADA.
DR.. r. S. Curry Makes Address-He
Implanted Mother Attention.

Last Saturday afternoon was the
time set by the ladies' clubs of Gre
NADIA by Baby Day." and for the dis
cussion and consideration of those
things intended for caring for the
babies from their birth and up thru
their tenderest years so as to insure
strong and healthful bodies and to
preserve the eyes and the sense of
hearing.
According to appointment the
meeting, which was held at the opera
house, was addressed by DR.. R. S.
Curry, superintendent of the blind
institute at Jackson. DR.. Curry's
long experience as practitioner as
well as his technical skill and train
ing peculiarly qualify him to know
whereof he speaks in discussing mat
ters referring to young child life. In
addition to his standing as profess
sional man, DR.. Curry is an eXem-
plary citizen and is deeply imbued
with an. ambition and desire to serve
we'll his day and generation. He dis
cussed every phase of caring for the
child and specially stressed the fact
that there was no good reason why
any normal mother should not nurse
her own baby and that the use of
artificial foods caused more deaths
among babies than any other dozen
things. He said that the month of
July was the worst for the health
of the babies, and that 15 times as
many die in July as in any other
month. The writer was not present
apd has heen uable to get a detailed
report of what DR.. Curry said,, but
feels sure that much good will grow
out of the efforts of the ladies to
better the condition of the babies as
we'll as the splendid address of DR..
Curry. DR.. Curry evidently intend
ed to leave this idea with the moth
ers: Individual attention to your
own baby. the doing away with the
milk bottle and home staying with
the babies.

deemed
Mr.. Orman was the father Of four
children, all of whom are living
The two girls are excellent characters
and very sweet and attractive young
women. The older one is married
and is now making her home at Jack
son, Miss. The two boys are excep-
tionally fine specimens of manhood.
They are intelligent and attentive to
business and best of all have shown
a Spartan-ike spirit and devotion in
looking after their mother and the
other members of the household.
Many an eye will be moistened
because of the death of H. c. Orman
and his kindly nature as well as many
other good things in his life will long
be remembered in Grenada.
To the wife and children The Sen
tinel extends sincere sympathy.

PROBABLY UNDER
COMMISSION LAW.
More Bonds, and Citizens Will Not
Be Consulted, Foreshadowed.

1t seems to be pretty generally
understood by those who have been
freQuentinP the court house this
week and looking in on the board Of
supervisors. that it is the purpose Of
the board to work the roads of the
county hereafter under the direction
of Il commissioner as provided under
chapter 257. laws of 1912. and
amended by chapter III. laws of
1916. At this writing. 2:l5 o'clock
Thursday afternoon, the order drawn
Wednesday providing for road COM
missioner had not been ordered
placed on the minutes, hence there
is some doubt just about what will
be done. II is assumed to he the pur
pose of the board. in case it is deter
mined to change from present plans
and go under the special road law
above referred to, TO issue bonds, per-
haps to the amount of 100000,
about which it will not be necessary
to consult the citizenship of the coun-
ty if the action which seems already
indicated is taken. There will no
doubt be some speculation as to
whether the issuing of the bonds
without consulting the electorate
was not the impelling motive with the
board in going under the special road
law

The writer had occasion to visit
Philipp one day last week and while
there was the guest of Mr.. William
II. Gibbs. an old Grenada boy, who
has been working there for about
four years. Willie holds a most re-
sponsible position with his concern,
The Tallahatchie Lumber Company.
He is sales manager, position tnat
is hard to fill, due to the fact one
must he well versed in all phases of
the lumber business. He must know
the various grades, lie various
weights of each size, and above all
he must know the market prices ana
endeavor to get a dollar above them
Willie is virtually in charge of the en-
fire Office as the manager is usually
away and the work all falls on his
shoulders. 1t pleases The Sentinel
to record these facts. Willie IS pop.
,,lar with all the employees, as well
as with the people all around Philipp.
He deserves success.

STRIKE AGAIN
SEEMS LIKELY
General WalkOut of All Railroad
Men of the Country May Occur
On Saturday of This Week.

It now appears quite certain that
one of the biggest railroad strikes the
country has ever seen will be called
on Saturday. The strike orders have
been issued and, unless the operators
acceIe to the demands Of the unions,
operations will cease.
Plans call for the strike to begin
in the extreme east and be gradually
worked westward until the entire
country is covered by Wednesday of
next week. This will give the oper-
ators an opportunity to meet the de-
mands of the strikers, before the op-
Grafton of trains is completely de-
moralized.
The strikers are demanding an
eight hour day and time and a half
for overtime.
