A HAPPY PHASE OF HOME
DEMONSTRATION WORK

The county home demonstration
agents, following a project adopted
at their last annuel meeting, plan a
really beautiful service in the form
of Thanksgiving offering to be sent
from every county to the orphanages
of Mississippi. At luncheon held
in Jackson last week, Miss Powell re
ports, the agents renewed their
pledges and initiated the definite
campaign.
Generous club girls over the state
will each make an apron for little
sister" in one of the orphanages. The
club women will make baby dresses
and other garments to be used in
clothing the fatherless, who are, in
truth, our special charges. Offerings
Of fruits and vegetables, or Of money,
Of course, will also be accepted.
1t will be remembered that last
year the club women Of Mississippi,
true to the "4-H" ideal of hand, head
health, and heart, furnished these in
stitutions for dependent ones more
than 1000 quarts of fruits and vege
tables. This year, Miss Powell be-
lives, the outpouring of Thanksgiving
offerings will eclipse the record OF
1918.

and other diseases which are carry
ing 50 many to an early grave all
over the country every year. Statis-
tics show that there were 40 deaths
from consumption in Grenada County
last year, and some eight or ten from
typhoid fever, and, in. addition to
this, many little babies are torn
away from their parents and sent to
the cemetery when if they had had
the proper nursing and had proper
health laws been observed, they would
have lived to bless their homes and
their day and generation. The super
visors evidently reasoned that if the
work by these doctors saved only one
life and spared even one mother the
anguish of parting with her baby,
that the money would be well spent.
The supervisors evidently reasoned
that there is no sane, civilized person
that would not give his every dollar
to save his sick and afflicted. The
supervisors no doubt also reasoned
that the County would have as much
put into it as the board paid out,
hence that the money. would not
leave the County and that in the end,
aside from the great blessings of
health and better sanitation, money
would balance.
The Sentinel can vouch for DIR.
Shipp as being deeply versed in med
icine and as being most depend
able man every way. 1t also feels
that it can vouch for DR.. Polk. He
will be Immediately in charge of the
work in this County and comes of
the States best men. He was reared
in the country in Monroe County.
This paper believes that Grenada
County has taken step forward in
engaging in this work. Let every
body cooperate to- make it reach ev-
erybody and every community.

ROCKEFELLER BOARD
TO INVEST $4,000.
BY Authority Board Grenada County
to Have Health Survey County Duplicate Rockefeller
Appropriation Believed % BE Good Move.

Six thousand Of Mr.. Rockefeller's
money will be spent next year in
Grenada County on better health
and better sanitation campaign.
on Monday Of this week, DIR. G.
Y. Shipp, who was associated with
DR.. Sharp in Grenada before he en-
tered the Government Health Service
work, accompanied by DR.. RQlk of
Jackson, also connected with Halth
work, arrived in Grenada and bS kn
to discuss with sundry citizens put
ting on health survey. These gen
tlemen said a number of counties
wanted the survey, there was no
trouble in interesting the people and
officials of great number of count
les, but inasmuch as it was impossi-
bic to go to all the counties, it was
therefore necessary to select counties
in which to do the work and which
might serve as examples for the rest
of the State. DR.. Shipp made no eff
fort to conceal the fact that his
residence in Grenada had given the
town and the County warm place
in his heart and that he would like
for anything good he had, or any
possible favors he had to bestow, to
come to this County.
But to get starting point, the
board of supervisors had to be con-
suited. 1t was one of the essentials
that wherever Mr.. Rockefeller put
down a dollar in this work the peO
pie of that community must also put
down a dollar. Accordingly num-
Der of representative citizens, includ-
ing many ladies, went with Drs.. Shipp
and Polk before the board of super
visors that afternoon and obtained
a hearing. The board accepted the
proposition fthese two able special
lists and voted to appropriate $4,000
to fight typhoid fever, tuberculosis

THE ELECTION TUESDAY.

The election Tuesday in Grenada
County, and indeed throughout the
State, was a tame affair. No cleo
tons were held at Tie Plant, Provi-
dence and Hardy precincts. The vote
counted for the two highest candi-
dates was 189. Three votes were
cast for the Socialist candidate for
Governor and quite number of the
voters failed or refused to vote for
some of the State candidates. There
was no opposition to any of the
County or Beat candidates. The
proposed amendment to the Constl-
tuition failed to carry. Out of to-
tai of 189. only 60 voted for the
amendment and 53 against but un-
der rulings heretofore made by the
Supreme Court, an amendment must
receive the approval of a majority
of all the votes cast. The town OF
Grenada registered II votes for the
amendment to 81 against it. Returns
from the State at large are not yet
in.
@. H. Perry was voted for for
magistrate in district 2, this County.

MR. WALTER MULLIN
DIED WEDNESDAY

Mr.. Walter Mullin died at his home,
three miles north west of Grenada
on Wednesday of this week. The
end was sudden and unexpected. He
had been complaining slightly for a,
few days and had consulted his phy-'
sician, though he was not thought
to have had any alarming symptoms.
Mr.. Mullin was about 60 years old.
He was reared in Grenada, being al
son Of Mr.. Robert Mullin. When
a mere youth he lost an arm and
one eye by accidental discharge of
a shotgun which no doubt seriously
handicapped him in all his affairs.
He was twice married, his first wife
being daughter of the late Maj.
Il. F. Thomas by his first wife. His
wife's death left him with little
Meek of Grenada. Mr.. Mullins sec
ond wife was daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Josh Hill of Grenada and to this
union four children were born. three
sons and one daughter, all of whom
survive him. Besides his wife and
daughters, he is survived by three
sisters, Mrs. j. w. Griffis of this
place and two others who live in dis
tant states.
Mr.. Muilin was one of the sub
stantial citizens of the County and
those who knew him best esteemed
him most. The funeral services were
conducted from the residence on
Thursday afternoon by Rev. j. r.
Countiss after which the remains
were brought to Grenada and laid
to rest in Odd Fellows cemetery.
To the bereft widow and little
children, The Sentinel extends sym
pathy.

Evidencing the larger sphere which
women have come to occupy in church
life, as well as other activities. when
the Baptist 75 Million Campaign was
decided upon at the meeting OF the
Southern Baptist Convention in At
lanta last May. the women, through
their regular organization, the Wo-
mans Missionary Union, at once
agreed to be responsible for One-fifth
of the sum sought, or $4,000, 600, This
means that the Baptist women of the
South will raise for missions of all
kinds, Christian education and benev-
olences, the sum of $4,000, 600 a year
for the next five years, in addition to
their contributions to local enterprises
and special work
Through the channels of the Wo
mans MissionOry Union, with head
quarters at Baltimore, Md. the Bap
tist women of the South have since
their organization contributed more
than $5,0O0,000 in cash to various de-
nomina tional proposes. With the ad-
dition of boxes of food and clothing
sent to orphanages and other benevo-
lent institutions, the total of their
contributions through this channel has
reached $5,71O,433.f1

GRIEF FOR THE DEAD.

O. hearts that never cease TO yearn!
O. brimmng tears that ne'er are dried!
The dead though they depart, return
AS though they had not died!
The living are the only dead;
The dead live--never HonaSte die;
And often when we mourn them fled,
They never were so nigh!
And though they lie beneath the waves
Or sleep within the churchyard dim,
(Ah! through how many different graves
Gods children go to himD
Yet every grave gives up its dead
Ere it is overgrOwn with grass;
Then why should hopeless tears be shed,
Or need we cry, Alas?
Or why should memory, veiled with gloom,
And like a sOrrowing mourner craped,
Sit weeping Ger an empty tomb,
Whose captives have escaped!
'Tis but a mound, and will be mOssed
Wheneer the summer grass appears;
The loved, though wept, are never lost;
We only lOse-our tears!
Nay, Hope may whisper with the dead
By bending forward where they are;
But Memory, with backward tread,
COmmunes with them afar.
The joys we lose are but forecast,
And we shall find them all once more!
We look behind us for the Past,
But 10! It's all before!

1t is the most sudden and profound dis

centuries Of historic evolution, inhabited
by 175 millions Of people and occupying
one-sixth Of the entire surface Of the
