ced &c boys in order that they
might purchase the very best
Hampshire gifts for club work,
Even the moat optimistic among
them did not have a clear con-
ception of what their efforts
would amount to. But all who
attended the county pig club
contest in Covington last Novem.
Der got an idea of the scope Of
work being done by the boys of
the county. 1t was a clear cold
day. and the lad living 20 miles
away had to start early in order
to get to Covington by ten
o'clock. But nearly ev9ry club
member in the county came. 1t
was in fact big day for Gown
gton. for no less than 400 people
were present.
When the club boys ordered
their pigs from Illinois last June.
they weighed an average of 81
pound each. At the end of the
contest November Is, they weig-
he'd an average of 1876. The
feeding period lasted l12 days
and during that time the pig
gained an aveage of 1873 pounds
or one and two-tenths pounds
per day. The smallest pigs at
the beginning weighed 80 pounds.
This same pig at the close of the
contest weighed 2l0 pounds.
The lrrgest pig in the show wei
ghed 290 pounds and it was only
eight months old.
This does not mean that the
boys simply fattened their pigs.
Each animal was for breeding
stock and was fed a balanced
ration. A ration made up as fol-
lows was advised by County
Agent Hollingsworth. Cracked
corn 5 parts. wheat middlings 4
parts, and tankage | part. This
has kept the gifts growing and
in good condition. The club
work was judged on the follow
ing basis: Report 20 per cent,
daily gain Is per cent, cost of
gain 25 per cent, and the animal
exhibited 40 per cent. Milton
Owen made highest mark on re-
port and on cost of gains. Con-
ardHawkins and Kencher Taught

Walter Phillips showed the best

More than Sl50. prizes were
donated by bankers and merch-

| "a tribute to Frank Richmond)
When a good man dies
Methinks the courier angel flies
Immediately to the far off skies,
Announcing to heaven the glad
news
When a good man dies.
When a good man dies
Our earthly minds cannot con-
not conceive
The wondrous joys he will receive
From his dear Lord in Paradise
When a good man dies.
When a good man dies
He lays life's heavy burdens
down
With faith and hope, without a
froWn
He goes through death to the
Better Land;
When a good man dies.
After all what better can be
said of a man that he is a good
man. That covers everything
his relations 10 the world, to his
fellow man, to his church, his
wife and children. And what
better heritage can a man leave
to his children than the simple
heritage of goodness, which is
patterned after Godness. The
word good and God are the same
with the exception of one letter,
and in practising goodness one
attains to Goodness.
When sons and daughters can
look back on their fathers life
and in reviewing in memory the
close relationship Of father tic
child, can say, my father was
a good mani" No legacy of gold
can compare with such an in
heritance.
And this what his family, his
friends say of Frank Richmond.
On the afternoon of Christmas
Eve Mr.. Richmond gathered his
family together in the home OF
his daughter, to open the gifts
that had come to him from his
sons and grandchildren in a fal
away state. With the eagerness
of a child he opened all of the gift
that Thoughtful love had provid
ed for his pleasure and comfort
and in the true Christmas spirit
he was a child with the children
on that Christmas Eve.
Later he went to his home
talked to his wife of the comm.
Christmas day and the gifts s-tha
would come to him. then withou
| a care. he lay down to sleep I,
wake in the present of Chris
with the gift of eternal life, o
peace and perfect Joy bestowe'
upon him by the Giver of al
good gifts.

What on first glimpse seem to
be sterling virtues often prove
to be only silver plated.
Lives of great men all remind
us we should never have past.
The charity covers multitude
OF sins sometimes uncovers a
multitude of miseries.
When the future looks dark,
light up your face!
Troubles are like rabbits give
them free range and they null
tiply rapidly.
A very young man thinks wo-
men are tickle and grieves over

and laughs over it.
1t is no longer good taste to
have a bad taste in your mouth
the next morning.
The best interior decorations
are growing boys-and they
never strike.
The man who has a cold all
winter long always has plenty of
cures for others colds.
If you talk much, prepare to
be lonely; but if you listen much
you will always have company.
Stop pursuing happiness and it
will wait for you. Then you will
find that it's name is love-for
YOUR JOB.
Some people play politics, but
most of them that get anywhere
work for it.
Everybody has right to his
own opinion, but he hasn't the
right to keep airing it all the
time.
If your friends flatter you,
that doesn't mean anything be-
cause friends are supposed to do
that, but if your enemies knock
you that means you amount to
something or they wouldn't take
the time to do it.
A lions roar induces respect,
but you are no lion.
The man who would rather

JACKSON COUNTY man
MAKES FINE RECORD
AS SUPERINTENDENT.


superintendent of Smith county
schools, will be read with inter.
est by his many friends in Jack
son county. this being his native
county.
AS stated in the coIumnof this
paper lest week, Prof. E l. HUFF
fines was reelected County Sup
erintendent of schools for the
fourth consecutive time without
opposition. Since that time we
have taken an occasion to inves-
tigate the record of Mr.. Huffines
and find the following interes-
ting facts connected with his
seavice, all of which constitutes
a record anv one should be proud
of. Prior to his taking up the
work of county superintendent
Prof. Hufines taught school for
rs years and so successful was
he as a teacher that his service
were eagerly sought by those
looking for a competent teacher.
In 1914 he took the examination
for superintendent and made the
highteat grade of any one
in the state. After being elected
as Superintendent Prof. Huffines
set out to systematic the schools
of the county, that is to arrange
the course of study so that when
children movee from one commu-
nifty to another they could find
proper class when entering the
school in the new neighborhood.
He adopted a graded course of
study especially suited to one
teacher schools, but made the
course elastic enough to be used
in any school, This course of
study has been copied exactly by
3 other county superintendent in
in the state.
Prof. Huffines has ever been
vigilant in looking after the
school finances by seeing that the
school funds are not used for
county purposes to pay various
expenses of the county. as is
done by large number of count.
les in the state Supt. Huffines
especially watches after the
school funds from the state,
which amount to more than one
third of all the school money.
He has succeeded under the old
law in increasing funds from the
equalization fund from less than
$500 to more than $3.50; and
under the new law to more than
$45O0. During the past several
months there has been a great
difficulty of superintendent in all
sections of the country to secure
teachers for rural counties, but
in spite of this Supt. Huffines
has furnished all Smith County
schools with licensed teachers.
His excellent work has often
been recognized over the state
and in 1919 he was appointed a
member of the State Text Book
Com Mission for the term of five
years, and in this position he
has shown unususl activity. He
helped to adopt the best and
cheapest list of text books O.
any state. This is evidenced by
the quality and prices on the
first four reading books being
used in our schools today. These
books were bought for total of
81. 16 ahd afterward a conoract
for the same books in Mississ-
ippi called for 81 40.
Some time ago he was appoin-
ted chairman oithe fourth con-
gressional district to create in
terest in the Smith-Towner
Bill. a measure to secure federal
aid for our schools, and pressure
to have this measure passed is
now being brought to bear on
our representative in congress

Jgn 10, 1921
Dear Editor and Sentinel Read,
ers:
have been since Oct. 20 and
during this time we have taught
eleven weeks of successful school.
The people here have had what
we call the blues" over the
price of cotton. Cotton is the
only money crop here, and as the
price is low compared with last
with last year, consequently they
feel it. Beside this the season
last spring was so wet that the
farmers did not get their cotton
out until late and the season con-
tinued wet preventing the prop.
er cultivation of the corps. Then
the boll-weevil came and with
these hindrances the people have
made about one-half crop and
when they sold only receiving
l5 and 20 cents a pound, when
last year they received AZ cents.
The farmers have realized they
are making a big mistake by de-
pending on cotton for every nee.
essary thing for life. Now they
say they are going to raise some
of the necessaries of life on the
farm and let cotton be their sur
plus crop for few years, thus
fighting the weevil.
However, regardless of the un-
pleasant conditions that now ex-
ist here the people have not for
gotten the church, the schools
and improvements of this little
town. The people are all work.
ing together; new residences are
going up; the roads are being
improved, There is talk of a
bank being organized and this
will come when prices and con-
ditions are normal again.
Now, | cannot close without
making an appeal for the schools
of Jackson county, for | am a
citizen of that county first, of
Tennessee second and perhaps
here third. Let everybody help
the new county superintendent.
Give her your help instead Of
criticism. Let US work together
for the betterment of our schools
and we will accomplish some
thing.
The same conditions exist in
Jackson county, that have al
ways existed, and that is we need
more money. Without more
money we can do but little to
improve the schools. Let US all
talk to the members of the coun-
ty court and insist on them
giving the schools more money.
Let us put the education of the
boys and girls Of Jackson county
first, because there is only one
time to educate them, and that
is now.
think that the conditions will
only be improved when the poo
pie are shown the necessity of
more money.
| have been having some very
hard work this term. A drive is
being made in this state to raise
standard of education by estab-
fishing illiteracy schools. These
schools are taught at night and
those who cannot read or write
attend, the work being done by
the regular teachers.
imagine if a similar drive
was being made i'll Jackson coun.
ty you would be surprised, as
was. to find in a rad.
/ ius of two miles on an average
of "a men and women who were
heads of families that cannot
read or write their names.
Already effective results are
being seen from this drive. anC
the teachers of Ga. have done
their part.
Again. | say. ignorance is oul
greatest enemy.

 Each Washington resident who served in the army. navy or marine corps is being paid s15 for each month of service. Already more than S7,000,000 has been paid out and there is approximately s3.OO0.000 left to pay.
 Approximately 3O.00O claimants have been paid to date and additional payments are being made at the rate of 430 day. Thus far, 56,00O former soldiers, sailors and marines have filed claims for the bonus.
