John Gore Wilson Announc
es for Register.
I take this method of announ
cing myself as a candidate for
the office of Register of Jackson
County, subject to the actions of
the voters in 'he regular election,
August 3rd, 1922.
After receiving many solicita
tions from my friends I have de
cided to make this race, and it
is my desire to see as many of
the voters, as I possibly can be
fore the election, but in case I
am not able, or don't have the
opportunity of seeing you, I
earnestly solicit your vote and
influence.
It is a fact that I am a young
man, and not known to all the
people in the County, to acquaint
you with who I am the following
introduction is given:
I am the son of Sid Wilson,
who was for several years post
master in Gainesboro. I was
born in Gainesboro, my parents
leaving there when I was about
four years old, and the remaind
er of my life has been spent on
the farm.
Last October, while making
cross-ties, I had the misfortune
of splitting my knee with an axe,
and as a result, blood-poison set
up. I was advised to go to a
hospital in Nashville, where I
remained six weeks, and at
present am disabled to do farm
work. I do not expect to be
elected on account of being a
cripple alone, but as a lawabid
ing citizen and my quaifications
to fill the office. I ask you to
investigate further, and if you
think that I am the man for the
place, 1 sincerely ask that you
give me your support. If elect
ed 1 will do my official duty.
I thank you all for anything
you may do or say in my behalf
Sincerely,
John Gore Wilson.
APPRECIATES SENTINEL
We are just in receipt of a very
pleasing letter from our old
friend Homer Maddux, of
Salem Ky., formerly of Gran
ville, in which he writes in part:
"Enclosed find check for
$1 50 for subscription to the
paper. LiKe it fine, as I get to
hear from old home folks.
Give all the boys my kindest
regards."
Respectfuily.
H. G. Maddux.
Short, but sweet, and the very
kind the publishers like to re
ceive. We are pleased to have
Mr. Maddux on our mailing list,
and extend mm our many
thanks. Here's hoping that his
days may be long upon the
earth and full of happiness; -
abttitt NEHEMIAH'S LONG PRAYER
"I sat down certain days and prayed be
fore the Cod of Heaven "-Nehcmiah 1-4
"Yes but" you say "Nehemiah didn't have a
a telephone in his house. "
No he didn't and the man who has is put to it to
pray long without distraction. But certain emergencis
need prayer and they need it more than they need any
thing else.
And to Nehemiah that prayer meant mouring and
weeping and fasting and confession.
And if Christian men would realize what prayer
could do in their emergencies, if they would read what
that sort of prayer accomplished . for Nehemiah, they
would get away where telephones coulden't interrupt
and they would bare all the facts before the God of
heaven and they would come out of that engagement
of "certain days" with God, with a victory like
Nehemiah's.
It would help any man who is in trouble or whose
family is in trouble to read the first chaDter of
Nehemiah and then to run away from the telephone
and pray.
IF:-If my people, which are called by my name,
shall humble themselves, and prey, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicKed ways:
. THEN: Then will I hear from heaven, and will
forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles
7:14.
Convocation at Peabody
College, Nashville.
The Spring Convocation at
George Peabody College for
Teachers, June 6, was of unusual
interest. Dr. Wallace Buttrick.
President. General Educational!
Board was the distinguished
guest on this occasion. The Rt.
Rev. Charles E. Woodcock, Bis
hop of Kentucky and renowned
prelate of the South, delivered
the baccalaureate address to one
of the largest audiences ever
assembled in the Social Religious
Building. The. subject of the
address was A Vision and a Task.
Bishop Woodcock differentiated
the man possessed only a vision
from the man who realizes his
vision in the accomplishment of
his tasic, in these forceful
artitheses:
A man should talk no louder
than he liver.
Between the knowing how to
do a thing and the doing of a
thing is where failure is made.
We may know all about life
save the living of it We may
know all about war save the
stopping of it. We may know all
about peace save the making of
it.
We made progress without
arriving at attainment We
have uiade money, but it has
not enlarged our contentment
and heightened our spiritual
nature.
The most hopeful sign is that
men are not satisfied with things
as they are. We have frittered
away our time talking about re
construction and rejustments.
The world wants regeneration
rather than reformation. This
world wants salvation, not
salvage. x
This world is not interested in
your ancestry, but in you. It
does not ask if you are well bred,
but are you fit It does not care
what you know, but what you
can do.
There is no personal character,
as there is no personal virtue,
without temptation and struggle.
The world wants to know how
you can fight.
The graduating class left to
the College, as a gift $51,000,00 in
insurance policies, which they
pledged to maintain in favor of
their Alma Mater.
Seven thousand five hundred
requests have been recived this
year for Summer School cata
logues. Last year 3500 calls for
the Summer Quarter catalogues
were registered. The adminis
trative authorities at Geoge Pea
body College for Teachers are
anticipating an increase Jin at
tendance of between 500 and
1000 students.
THEY CONTINUE TO
JABBER.
The ideal hammock, says
Frank Bailey, should be just
large enough for one, but strong
enough for two.
Every man has his price and
every woman has her figure
Said attorney L. M. Botts last
evening.
Some people go about their
business quitely and others
drive fliv-vers, said Clerk &
Master W. F. Sadler, the other
day.
Swat 'Em Early.
The early fly is the one to swat.
It comes before the weather, hot.
And sets aronnd and flys its legs,
And lays at least a million eggs,
And every egg will bring a fly,
To drive us crazy by and by.
Swat him.
Maybe the reason so many
women insist upon eating things
that disagree with them, is be
cause they love an argument so.
said Dr. R. C. Gaw, the other
day while talking to one of his
convalescent patients. Jocking
ly of course.
Dr. H. P. Loftis told a young
man in this town that he must
avoid all sweet things, and the
boy (we won't give his name)
asked the doctor if it would be
all right for him to go to see his
best girl. We failed to catch
the doctor's reply to that
F. L Tardy says he is un
decided whether the good die
young, or just outgrow their

Old lady Oh, sir, please! I've
dropped my wig out the window.
Passenger Never mind madam!
There's a switch just this side
of the next station.
Be quick to kick if things
seem wrong, but kick to me and
make it strong. To make things
right gives me delight, if 1 am
wrong and you are right, says
Prof. H. J. Cox.
The fellow who complains that

We shouldn't criticise congress
for the bonus delay. We have

of the Gainesboro Dry Goods
Co., the other day while discuss
ing things, and other things.
WEDDINGS BELLS.
" Clerk, McGlasson just before
leaving town Monday morning
on his convassing rounds, re
ceived a letter from a very prom
inent physician of this county,
asking him to please issue mar
riage license for himself and
Miss ,a popular young lady
of ' . The letter was ac-
compained by a check to be filled
out by the clerk. After comply
ing with the wishes of the doctor,
the clerk straddled his horse
and. as he thought would
soon be in the country telling
the voters what he wanted them
tn do. But. he had only
straightened himself good in the
saddle and started off, when he
was hailed bv another Darty,
and asK to go back to the office
and issue some more marriage
license. He did so, and as quick
as possiable,- put spur to nis
horse and left the city.
VVp hone tn iret a renort on
these weddings, if we do, we'll
herald the news.
We would suevest that Mr
McGlasson carrv a suddIv of
blanks with him during the re
mainder of this month. He
would probably do a good busi
ness.

SALARIES OF TEACHERS )
CUT FOR BENEFIT OF -y
CHILDREN. .
Annual Institute to be HelJ
July 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th.
The County Board of Educa
tion met June 5th to 1rt.
eachers for the coming term.
'eachers were placed for a good
number of schools. Some few
on condition that they make
certificate in the next examina
tion.
Previous to the meeting the
Board had adopted a salary .
fchedule that we thought would ,
meet the approval of the tax
payers gencraly, as it represent
ed a cut of something like'
$10,00 on all salaries. We had
another good reason besides try-'
ingto meet the approval 'of a
majority of tax payers, and that
is, that some schools in the
county are so much better taken
care of than others. We have a
number of schools, Freewill
air view, Shadv Grove. Green
wood, New Hope, that enroll
anywhere from 75 to 110 pupil,
and heretofore have only had
one teacher. No teacher can
handle this number as a teacher.
rue they can stay with them.
but as far as giving them- any
individual care that is, impossible,
so we by paying all teachera
ess, will be able to give these
children a better chance.
The annual Countv InBtitnf
for Jackson Countv teachers will
be in session July 3rd, 4th. 5th
and 6th. State teachers ex
amination July 7th and 8th. All
teachers are expected to attend
the County Institute.' The
Board passed a ruling that $2.00
for elementary and $4 00 for
high school teachers, be de
ducted from your monthly salary
for each days non attendance at
at tho Annual County Institute
and monthly meetings.
In my opinion the primary
considerrtion of all school work.
is the benfit to the child. Ely
sense of justice will not permit
me to sacrifice the interest of all
the children for the few. All
children have the right to equal
educational opportunities.
So far as I am concerned the
school affairs have leen con
ducted as economicaly, as is
insistent with good school
worK. .
Hoping to have your hearty
cooperation in school worK for
the coming term.
I am yours for better school.

County Supt
Don't burn your bridges
ahead of you.- .
One way to save your face is
to not stick it in other people'
business. ' v
Fast friends leave you as soon
as you cut down on the speed.
Good Luck seems . to stumble
right onto the hustler.
It's usually the busy man who
does things on time. . ,
For quick results it is better,
for a girl to be popular with
only one man at a time. x
There' are otherwise people
and otherwise.
The man who is clean insida
likes to be clean outside.
Some candidates who thinks
they are running, merely have
wheels in their head.
The busy man doesn't figure
much in the courts of the coun
try. Had you ever thought of
that?
