JOE r. RAY FOR SUPERVISOR,
DISTRICT S.

The Sentinel is commissioned to
say to the voters of District 5, of Gre
NADIA county. that Mr.. Joe R. Ray is
a candidate for the Office of supervi5-
or.
Mr.. Rays experience as mail car
rier, as well as the natural trend Of
his life, has brought him rather init
mately in touch with large per cent
of the people of his beat, and this as
sociation with his neighbors and
friends should have given them a
pretty clear insight Unto his life,
which, if favorable to him, should be
worth much in this or any contest
where the people need to make a
choice between their fellows. He en-
joys the reputation of being good
neighbor and an obliging friend. He
has shown a marked readiness to bear
his part of the burdens and RESPONSE
bilities incident to his neighborhood
and county. and this paper would be
but repeating what Mr.. Rays neigh
bors and friends say were it to state
that if he is elected to the very i'm
portant Office of supervisor, he will
devote his best energies to the dis
charge of it's duties in manner that
will be pleasing to what is regarded
as the most progressive thought OF
the county The Sentinel commends
Mr.. Rays candidacy to the fair con-
sideration of the voters of beat 5.

MRS. VERNON r. PATTERSON
DIES IN ASHEVILLE.

Mrs Vernon r. Patterson died in
Asheville. y. c.. last Friday night.
Her remains reached Grenada Sunday
night. A large number of sympa-
thizing and. interested friends met the
remains at the depot and followed
to the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Ia
tum. The funeral services were con-
Quoted Monday afternoon at O'Clock
from the residence by Mrs. Patter-
sons former pastor, Rev. F. A. Tuck
er of the Methodist church. after
which burial was had in Odd Fellows
cemetery.
Mrs. Patterson's. death was not un-
expected. For weeks she had linger-
ed on the brink between this world
and the next. and hence her husband
and other loved ones were somewhat
prepared for the end. Sometime last
summer Mr. Patterson severed his
business relations in Grenada and
moved TO Asheville, where he hoped
that that climate might do for his
wife what it had done for so many
others. but in this he was dlsappolnt-
ed, vet he has the consciousness of
having done all he could for the one
whose life and destiny was linked
with his.
Mrs. Patterson was the third
daughter of Mr.. nd Mrs. S. 7. Tatum
of Grenada. AS daughter she had
been dutiful. kind and loving; as
wife she was sympathetic, tender and
ever considerate. indeed she possess
ed the characteristics of the true and
noble woman, of the good mother and
the true help-meet. Years ago she
gave her heart to God, and had lived
to enjoy a rich religious experience
as a useful and active member of the
Methodist church until her health be-
came impaired. During all the weeks
and months of her suffering. she was
steadfast in her faith. and never wa
vered in her trust in Cruclfled and
Risen Lord She realized that her
sun was rapidly setting, and talked as
she could most consoling of the here
after.
This is the second one of Mr.. Ia
tun1's family to pass away within the
past few months. The oldest son,
Longstreet, having died in Asheville
since Christmas.

and other relatives, leaves little

CARD FROM w. P. FERGUSON.

Editor Sentinel:
Permit me to say through your col
umns, that inasmuch as a new legis
lature is being chosen, which will
meet in Jackson next January, there
is one particular matter that should
receive attention, and which if en-
acted into law, would bring a large
amount of revenue into the State
Treasury. We all recognize the need
of public funds to meet urgent needs
and in levying privilege taxes and
other taxes care should be taken to
place them on those where it would
be the least burden. Thus it comes
to my mind to ask the question, why
not the human and dental doctors be
required to pay privilege tax? The
lawyers pay it, the veterinarians pay
it, the merchant pays it and almost
every other profession or business.
and why not the human doctors and
the tooth doctors? l repeat. Why?
We realize the need of money for our
schools and our roads, etc. | have
been advised that the NJ. D.'s were
excepted from the privilege tax be-.
cause of the great amount Of charity
work, but then Why the dentists? Al
professions and all classes Of business
do more or less charity work. But
enough for this time. Mr.. Rerre-
sentative, this is for your thoughtful
consideration.
Ccc..aily,
VIM. P. FERGUSON.

See here. boys! Whatever you try
to do, do it the very best you can; do
it better than it was ever done before.
Don't yield to the temptation to slight
your work And above. all things, do
what is right, every time. Never mind
the scott and leer Of Others. but go
ahead and do what is right. Be brave
about it too. Everyone hates cow
ard. And another thing, don't be
afraid of doing right for fear you will
make enemies. Enemies are as nee
essary to success as vinegar is to
pickles. Don't above all things be a
hypocrite. The thief may steal our
property, but the hypocrite betrays
ones confidence and only waits an op-
portunity to stab him in the back. II
you have mind of your own don't
be afraid to express your opinion, and
if you feel that it is right, stand by it.
People will talk and fools will turn
grindstOnes for others to sharpen
their axes on. Think for yourself.
Lay your course of action in accor-
dance with the idea that some day
YOU will be man and called upon to
take an active part in life's great bat
ties. Don't imagine for moment
that YOU can please everybody, not
yourself. Few people care for you
and you must care for yourself or be
left in the Gold.

For a Weak Stomach.

POULTRY HOUSE
NEEDS SUNLIGHT

In building the poultry house ar
rangements should be made to allow
plenty of sunshine to enter. In the
shed-roof type of house 1t pays to
allow the sunshine to strike beneath
the dropping boards. A house Is feet
deep can be constructed four and q
half feet in back and eight and one
half feet in front and other depths
can be made In the same proportions.
The front should then have four-foot
curtains along the front and this will
allow an abundance Of sunshine to
strike OIL portions of the house. Also
have the windows about two feet down
from the top Of the house.
One Of the causes of disease in the
poultry house is damp litter. 1t Is
expensive to change the litter often
and for this reason as much sunshine
as possible should be allowed to enter
to keep the scratching material from
becoming damp and musty. Sunshine
is the cheapest dlsinfectant that the
poulfryman can use and whenever
possible 1t should be used to the full
est extent.

Geese Serve as Watch Dog
of the Home; Are Reliable
as the Family Alarm Clock

No domesticated birds are so faith
full, so interesting, so intelligent as
geese. They revel in the society Of
those who own them. In remote parts
of Ireland and Scotland the geese
share the family hearth. This is one
of their strongest characteristics.
They love to pass the night near the
homestead. They do not need a
warm, comfortable building to sleep
in; they are quite contented, happy,
and healthy if allowed to sit down
outside the back door. They are light
sleepers. A stranger cannot approach
within hundred yards or so without
their hearing him and screaming at
the tops of their shrill voices.
They viii often wander few miles
during the day, but they viii faith
fully return In the evening. You Will
find them punctuai. They win time
themselves to be back just as daylight
is failing, and at the hour at which
you generally get up in the morning
they will see to it that you are called.
They viii knock of the door, and at
the windows too If they can reach
them, and every few minutes they
win scream. They are as reliable as
an alarm clock.

Sun the Universal Clock.
But 1t Was Always Wrong

From the beginning the sun was the
universal clock, and the universal clock
was always wrong-that is to say,
twelve o'cleck today was not exactly
the same as twelve o'clock yesterday.
But the sun had to serve as clock to
most people until little more than q
hundred and fifty years ago, when pub
lie clocks took the place of sun dlals
and watches began to be comparative
~ common. Doubtless one of the
earliest forms Of getting somewhere
near the hour was by length Of shadow,
an upright stick or spear, or even the
erect form of the time teller himself
serving as natural gnomon. Even
today, all over the far East. the only
clocks in many, and, indeed. in most
places, is the shadow which is OBJ
tanned after one or other of these
methods.

What silent music fills thy ears.
What Bacchic lay,
That thou dost dance the centuries

What mystic strain Of pagan mirth

What melody,
Unheard of men, has Father Pan
Left lingering with thee?
All. where is now the wanton throng
That round thee used to meetg
On dead lips died the drinking-song.
But wild and sweet.
What silent music urged thee on,
To its unuttered beat,
That when at last Times weary win
Brought thee again IN sighte
Thou cam'st forth dancing, dancing STILL
into the light.
Unwearied from the murk ana DUSK
OF centuries Of night7
Alas for thee!-Alas again,
The early faith il gone!

| The pagan measures ring
Those limbs that have outdanced the

/ Yet tireless spring;
