MRS. e. A. PENN is DEAD.

Mrs. E. A. Pen ended her earthly
pilgrimage last Saturday afternoon at
Amory, Miss. Her remains were
brought to Grenada Sunday. The fu-
neral services were conducted from
the residence Sunday afternoon by
Rev. R. A. Tucker, pastor of the
Methodist Church, her own pastor,
Rev. j. B. Quin of the First Baptist
Church was out of town and could
not be reached by wire. The minister
paid beautiful and loving tribute to
the life of the deceased and spoke
those soothing and comforting words
which can only come from the Scrip
lures or those who speak in the name
of Him who has promised to soothe
and comfort those that sorrow. A
large concourse of sorrowing relatives
and loving friends followed the re-
mains to Odd Fellows Cemetery
where they were consigned to their
last earthly resting place.
Mrs. Penn went away to attend the
marriage Of her only son, but was TAX
en- i'll on the way to Amory, however,
she seemed to have some premonition
that she would not come back as she
went over.
Her maiden name was Gillon. Mrs.
Penn was reared just in the edge of
Yalobusha county, few miles east of
Torrance.
She was a noble woman. The Sa-
maritan spirit was thoroughly ground
ed into her life. She believed in
trying to do good to those that needed
assistance. She was always among
the first to those in serious illness.
The sorrowing always found in her
comforting messenger. Truly she lv-
ed in the fear and in the love OF God
and was never happier than when
ministering unto the needs of others.
She had long been a member OF the
Baptist Church and was one OF the
most faithful and Jealous workers in
that congregation in Grenada. She is
survived by her husband, an only son
and one brother, a minister in the
Baptist Church now located at Nash
vile. besides an aged father, Mr.. w.
P. Gillon
The Sentinel tenders sincere SYM
pathy to the distressed husband and
other sorrowing ones

GET A NICE TRIP.

Messrs Van w. and r. H. Williams
left last Monday for an extended trip
in the east which they take at the ex-
pense of the Jefferson Standard Life
Insurance Company. Both of these
gentlemen had similar trip last sum-
mer with another company. An offer
was made of the trip to the agent who
would write certain amount of in
surance in a stipulated time. These
men are both hustlers at anything
they 20 at and the Jefferson Standard
is indeed fortunate in having them
represent it..

ing revenue, getting money to meet
war expenses. The president went be
fore Congress and discussed this pro
position but stated that his mind was
fixed in the conviction that the wealth
of the country should be heavily taxed
and made to bear the greater part o.
the expense of the war. OF course the
big corporations registered a kick
against this, nevertheless Congress
proceeded to act in line with the Pres
ident's suggestion. The only question
seriously debated in Congress was just
how high to place the tax on the big
concerns and those especially profit
ing by the war. When the law was
passed, it was regarded as only an ex-
pertinent as was known that if the wal
continued, the taxing knife would have
to go deeper. The President was right
ir this.
The whole country was prosperous
to a most remarkable degree before
this Nation became involved in the
war. The prosperity was not confined
to any section or locality-it was over
the entire United States. But if there
is any one class that is sharing in
the results of the war above all others
it is the farmers. Think of rs and &c

farmer sells in proportion. 1t may be

QUINCY SCHOOLS
CLOSE FINE Term
EARLY NEXT MONTH

Quincy. Fla. May i.-The Quincy
high school is entering upon itsl last
month, as the closing exercises are
planned for early in June. This has
been a most prosperous school year
under the principalship OF Prof. Thos.
HemminwaY. formerly OF the Miami
schools. The graduating class this
Year numbers twenty, the largest in the
history of the school. Senior class day
exercises will be observed this year
for the first time. but the closing ex-
ercises will be very simple, with no
costumed plays, owing to war condl-
tions. Prof. Hemminway has recently
entertained the graduating class at his
home, and several other similar affairs
are being planned by relatives and
friends of the members OF the gradu-
ating class.
Boy Scouts Work.
Quincy boy scouts at this date have
sold over $4,000 worth in Liberty
Bonds. and they are still working ike
beavers. Several are already sure to
win the handsome war service medals.
They are sad over the departure OF
their efficient scout master, Mr.. Leroy
MCGOWAN, for the war camps, and es-
corted him in a body to the train.
Tobacco is Booming.
Tobacco growing is on a bigger boom
than ever, but the departure for the
camps of so much of the labor formerly
employed in the tobacco fields, makes
the growers very careful not to under
take more than can be successfully
handled. alluring though the price may
be. 1t is an interesting sight to see
this weed under cultivation, and the
number of new sheds that have been
built. owing to fine wether conditions
the stand is almost perfect and gives
the farm the appearance of huge hot
house.
