ing at 3 o'clock ct the Baptist Me-
mortal Hospital in Memphis, where he
was taken the Friday afternoon be-
fore on passenger train No. 4, for
wound in the right leg just above the
calf muscle. One of the best sur
geons in the South, DR.. J. A. Crisler,
attended him. Saturday it was
thought he was doing satisfactorily
but Sunday morning, Developments
made it necessary to amputate the
leg just below the thigh. He stood
the operation all right and seemingly
was on the road to recovery when OIL
Monday afternoon pulmonary throm-
bosis suddenly developed which car
ried him away in little while. His
remains were carried to Jackson,
Miss, that night and laid to rest
there. Tuesday morning.

churches Of the town Sunday morn

the divine will that the life of this
good man be spared, but God does

they ask. He knows best.
DR.. Pope was within few weeks
Of being 8S years Of age. He was
horn In Monroe county and reared in
the country being one Of a large
family. He was educated at Missis-
sippi College and took his medical
training at Vanderbilt University. A.
most Immediately after his gradua
ton, he was offered work with tn.
Mississippi State Board of Health tt
which he devoted his talents until the
time of his death. Only recently he
was promoted to the position of State
Director Of Rural Sanitation. In all
of his work, he showed the work of
the erudite mind and Of the broad
guaged, practical man.
But DR.. P0pe's greatest triumph
was not in the science of medicine !;
It was not in health work but in
those basic elements of character
which make good citizens, upright
men, true friends and loyalty to all
the highest, sweetest and best things
of life. He was thoroughly depend
able In all things. He was genuine
ly sympathetic. He was kind and
considerate and, ever ready to do q
good turn and TO say the gracious
and obliging word. As husband,
he was affectionate, loving and
thoughtful and as father he was all
that word implies.
He came to Grenada in the early
days Of 1920 to direct the health
work put on by the board of super
visors in this county and well and
faithfully did he perform that duty.
He was here but short while until
he began to grapple friends unto
him with ties which grew in number
and strength with the passing days.
He got next to the very hearts of the
people and was genuinely esteemed.
He took an active interest in the
church and was a very efficient teach
.er in the Sunday School of the First
Baptist church Of class of boys who
really loved him. For years he had
been q member of the Baptist church
and was also a member Of the Ma

sonic fraternity. His devoted and
| loving wife is a daughter of DR.. w.
A. BOrum, pastor of the Baptist
church in Natchez.
The fatal accident that resulted in
DR.. Pope's death occurred while out
bird hunting, and the shot came from
a gun in the hands of his favorite
brother, Mr.. Clinton Pope, of Jack
son. The two brothers, in company
with DR.. c. M. Shipp and Nr. Hamil-
ton Wier, had gone out in the vicini-
ty of Tatum that morning and were
hunting on the farm of Mr.. J. l..
Curry. AS another evidence of the
devotion of the two brothers, they
were hunting together and were per-
perhaps a mile or more from their
companions when the gun in the
hands of DR.. POpe's brother was ac-
cidently discharged. The two were
about twenty feet apart. Immedi-
ately DR.. Pope said, 'I'm shot" and
after walking step or two, fell. Mr..
J. L. Curry was also nearby and saw
what transpired. DR.. Pope called
for cord to bind his leg and asked
to be carried to Grenada just as
quickly as pos. ible which was done
and he was here within perhaps less
than an hour after the firing of the
shot. Medical aid was had ct once
and it was suggested by DR.. Pope
himself that he should be car
ried to Memphis at once. But
in spite Of the very best medi-
al skill and the most careful
nursing, it was impossible to stay the
hand of death. He was accompanied
to Memphis by his good wife and
brother and by Drs. Sharp and Shipp
When the end came. he was rational
and expressed himself as being ready
to meet his God.
The writer finds it impossible TO
pay due tribute to his friend. Truly
and sincerely does he sorrow with
the wife, brother and other loved
ones and also truly does he believe
that DR.. Pope is now gathered with
the Angels in that Celestial City
where heavenly joy and love reigns
supreme. The wife and little three
year old daughter, Mai Burrows, can
rest in the assurance that they are
represented "over there, and that
they can go to him if he cannot
come to them.
A genuine feeling of regret per-
vades the. County because of his un-
timely death and the sincerest SYM
pathy goes out to the brother, wife
and other loved ones in this their
sad hour. The career Of most USE
full man now is ended. A noble soul
has gone to his reward
Revs. J. r. Cunningham and A. A.
Stanley, DR.. and Mrs. iShipp and Mr..
Hepry Willis accompanied the re-
mains from Grenada to Jackson. Had
it been generally known before night
Monday afternoon that the end had
come, quite a number would no
doubt have gone. The funeral ser
vices were conducted by Revs. Gun
ningham and Stanley from the resi-
dence of Mr.. j. c. Fitzhugh in Jack
son, both of whom paid beautiful
and loving tribute to the Christian
character and the good name Of the
deceased.

At the Present

The state crop report as OF April IL
is as follows:
The condition OF wheat and rye In
all the principal farming sections OF
Kentucky is unusually good; there are
five per cent. fewer brood sows In the
state than there were at this time last
year; and although the labor supply Is
only eight per cent. below normal the
demand for farm labor is thirteen per
cent. below normal, according to the
April crop and livestock report for
Kentucky issued today by the United
States Bureau of Crop Estimates In
cooperation with State Commissioner
of Agriculture W. c. Hanna. The con-
dition of wheat in Kentucky April
is given as ninety-fve per cent OF nor
NAL compared to So per cent. April l.

per cent. April during the last ten
years. Rye condition in this state is
95 this month compared to "a per cent
April 1 last year. and an average con-
dition of 81 per cent April flor the
last ten years.
The acreage of wheat sowed in Ken
lucky last fall was approximately the
same as that sowed in 1919 (625,ooo
acres) but rye was $4,000 acres COM
pared to $4,000 acres sowed in 1919

Farm labor is ten per cent. more

not afford to pay the wages demanded
