DID DO MY BEST?

The Lady Elgin had gone down on
Lake Michigan. The ship had gone
TO peices and the unfortunate victims
were carried about by the merclless
waves. rolling mountain high. The
news reached the University OF Chic
ago. Among the students was a
noted athlete who carried off the
honors on many fields of contest. He
was a brave swimmer; and going
to the shore, the scene stirred HIM
most deeply and made him feel that
God had called him to the hour Tor
a signal service and that he must 90
his best. He plunged into the sur
ging breakers and saved seventeen
men. His comrades gathered about
him and insisted that he should not
make another trip. for he was already
numb with cold, and if he ventured
out again he would never return alive.
He looked out and saw the men adrift
and heard their shrieks for help and
as if by superhuman strength tore
himself away from the grip Of his
companions and made seventeen trips
more, saving thirty-four men in ali.
He fell unconcious upon The sane.
and was carried to the hospital. Dur
ing the night in his wild delirium he
would cry to his roommate. ~

other men?" "Did l do my very

All about us are the victims of the
ship wrecks of sin. They are fast
going to their doom. Countless num-
bers on the other side of the world
and great multitudes right at our
very doors, within reach of US all
They are being lost, and lost for the
want of a simple personal endeaavor
that would bring them to the shores
Of salvation. Shall not the vision
stir us as it did the brave hero OF
the Elgin tragedy? Shall we too
not fling our powers into the heroic
andeavor to save the perishing?
Shall we not stand ready to sacrl,
Ace personal timidity and so-called
IGNORANCE of how to approach souls
about Christ? And shall we not
nush on and on till we have saved
them from the frightful wrecks OF
sin? O, shall we not do our best,
our very best. so that at last when
we stand in the white light OF his
nresence we may hear him say,

J. c. FAIR, ASSISTANT CASHIER.

In making recent notice of the
changes in the personnel of some of
working force in the Grenada Bank,
The Sentinel failed to mention Mr.. j.
c. Fair, who comes to Grenada from
Calhoun City to succeed Mr.. B. C.
Adam as assistant cashier. Mr.. Fair
has been with the Grenada Bank in
some one of its branches for several
years and hence is no experiment. He
is man of pleasing address and one
that will readily make friends. He i'm
presses one as knowing how to do
whatever he undertakes and it is
therefore safe to assure Sentinel
readers that President Thomas is still
maintaining his unbroken record to
get the right man for the right place,

JACK WILSON AGAIN HONORED.
is Made Secretary for 7. M. &. A.
War Work.

The Sentinel is pleased to announce
that Mr.. Jack C. Wilson has been
made secretary for the Y. M. c. A.
War Work in Mississippi. This is an
other honor that has core to Mr.. Will
son. But he is deserving of many
honors and has never thus far failed
to acquit himself most creGitably in
anything he undertook. Jack Will
son is no ordinary man. He started
out in life without education and with
out means but he has managed to ac-
quire a reasonable competence and
has been a student of both men and
books as well as affairs generally. He
is well equipped and a doer of things
In addition to this his heart is right
on all moral questions and he can be
relied upon to aid in furthering every
Christian movement.
Mr.. Wilson is forceful speaker. He
travelled all over the state in the War
Savings stamp drive and The Sentinel
can say without the least exaggera-
tion that the press reports paid no
speaker any higher complim ents than
1t paid Mr.. Wilson. He spoke in
town and everywhere else almost, and
ne never failed to thrill and electrify
his audience. What he says carries
conviction. Prior to his work this
year, he has frequently been called
upon for addresses at different places
on moral and religious matters. The
strongest men in the state have made
requests for him as a speaker.
Mr.. Wilson will make his head
quarters at Jackson. He states that
there are many workers needed and
that he is prepared to enlist women as
well as men. Mississippi should not
fail to furnish her quota in this great
work.

SAM SIMMONS HAS NARROW

MIR. Sam ]. Simmons and Mr. +. l..
Ouinn of Charleston had a narrow
escape from death in an automobile
wreck near Clarksdale last week.
They were motoring in a Ford car
In crossing the railroad track failed
TO see the approaching train, when
struck the car and completely de-
nooIished it. Mr.. Simmons has
several flesh wounds. Mr. quinn
was severaly shocked and rendered
unconcious for several hours. both
were unable to return to their homes
and Mr.. Quinn, while still suffering
from the shock is getting along as
nicely as could be expected and Mr:
Simmons is up and at his place OF
business at the City Lumber Com

MR.. HOMER WILLIAMS is HIGH
LY HONORED.

There were so many people around
this office, who were interested in the
election, last week, that some matters
were overlooked and among them was
the appointment of Mr. Homer Will
liams Of Jackson to an important
place in the Federal Land office Mr..
Williams is scarcely twenty-three
years of age and to be intrusted with
such responsible place is indeed a
high compliment to him. 1t is stat
ed that he is the youngest man ever
named to similar position. He was
required to pass civil service exami-
nation and made the highest of any
taking the examination.
The Sentinel feels no hesitancy in
saving that Mr.. Williams will fill most
satisfactorily the place to which he
has been named. He is young man
Of sterling qualities and is as full of
pluck and energy as a moving mogul
locomotive is of steam. He is a son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Van w. Williams of
Grenada and The Sentinel heartily
congratulates them on the good for
tune that has come to their son. The
place will require much of Mr.. Will
liam time on the road.

him. was Miss Mamie Huntingdon. a

Camp Mills, Long Island. The boys
are in fine trim and are writing most
enthusiastic letters about the sights of
