MJiOF At CHUG- 14:31 Peter started to walk across the water to meet Jesus. Suddenly, the story says, he was seized with fear, and that was his downfall. What power there is In the man who never stops to think of all the things which might go wrong and all the powerful enemies who threaten. It is little faith that Is our chief enemy. Unfortunately, there is often one such person on the governing board of a.

church. He is the man who weakens the church, not the power of the world. His negative view drives away courage. I saw an exit from a parking lot with spikes pointing outward away from the exiting tires. A sign In large letters said, "Don't backup."

This question should be asked of each and every parent in Tallahatchie County, according to Dr. Everett w. Ryan, Health Officer for Tallahatchie County Health Department.

In 1971 there were 202 reported cases of diphtheria, over 4,000 cases of whooping cough, and 120 cases of tetanus In the United States, he added. These diseases primarily strike children under the age of five. "Each child should start receiving immunizations as early as six to eight weeks of age," Dr. Ryan said. All Immunizations should be completed by his first birthday." Every child needs a series of three injections to protect him from diphtheria, whooping cough, and tetanus in addition to a series of oral polio vaccine; 'After the basic series, children must have periodic boosters tokeeptheirpro-tection at a high level," stressed Dr.

Ryan. "The new combination measlesrubella vaccine immunization should be received by every child as he reaches one year of age. This vaccine is given In one inoculation and gives life-long Dr. Ryan stressed the importance of this vaccine as more than 75,000 cases of measles and 43,000 cases of rubella were reported by the United States during 1971. It was emphasized that immunizations are available through family physicians or the local county health department clinics.

Dr. Ryan concluded by urging parents not to delay In consulting family physicians or the Tallahatchie County Health Department for the Immunization that may be needed. Gooch, deceased, becamo old enough to take charge of the business. Gooch was living here when I moved to tho county; he lived and died a bachelor. I knew him well; he was a man of considerable means, a model farmer, a liberal, high-toned gentle-man, and tho county had no better citizen.

His wife lived only about a year after their marriage, which occurred in 1852. Tho fruit of their union was a daugnter, Louisa, who was raised by her grandmother, Mrs. Martha Gooch. She married in 1873; Mr. T.

He became the 'solo owner of tho old homestead on which he was born and on which he continued to live up to to the period of his death in 1904, a very rare occur rence In the South. (to be continued next week.) CHAPTER XXVIII. In writing. the history of this county, it is iny purpose (and it is perhaps the most interesting feature of it to give briefly that of the first, settlers of it. In doing so, it will bo understood that I can only give the main, leading and prominent facts connected with them: I will take pleasure in publishing the history of such families when I am furnished sufficient facts and data by their descendants to enable me to do so.

The public history of the county I can obtain from the public record: but tho history of private families, of course, I Can know nothing of except through furnished data. 1 From data thus furnished give in this chapter a succinct history of the Gooch family. Samuel and MarthaGooch(ncc Martha Parker) were married in Granville county, North Carolina, on January 24th, 1815, and moved is this county in the all of 1834, less than one year after tho organization of the county. The family consisted of tho parents and nine children, eight daughters and one son, viz: Mary Adeline, Martha Adeliia Emilly Hannah Louisa, Caroline and RodJphus They settled on tho farm now Owned by their descendants near Oakland and ono mile wesi ol'Uiu Yalobusha county line. They first occupied an abandoned Indian hut, but creeled log cabins close by and near a fine spring of water in a short time into which they moved.

Those cabins were still occupied by members of the family when 1 moved to the coujitv in 1865 and the remains of them are still to be soon not far from the present residence and on the tract of land first occupied. Samuel Gooch, the head of the family, did not live long after his settlement here, having died in tho winter of 1837. Tho Gooch family were of the best stock of the old North State, and. came to this county at or about the same time with the Bullock; Sneeds, Mangurro, Coleman and other prominent families of that State. Samuel Gooch was among the best anu most active and useful citizens of tho county, cheerfully contributing his labor and means with other persons in opening up the country; cutting out roads, building bridges, cutting down the forest, building school houses and churches, and helping new comers in building their, log cabins, rolling logs and other duties peculiar to new countries.

Not long fter the death of Samuel Gooch, his brother. Thomas Gooch, moved to this county and settled on the same creek (M.ddleTlIa.ha) on which Samuel settled, bui iree or-four below. He tho family brother in tho management of their farm and business affairs Samuel J.t the youngest child of THIS WORLD OF OURS "I am not ashamed at the gospel of Christ; for it Is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth: to the Jew first, and to the Greek." (Rom. Paul here declares that the power that God has provided to save sinners Is the gospel of Christ. In reading the New Testament we find that every case of conversion to Christ was by means of preaching the gospel of Christ.

The apostles and other spirit-led men spoke the TRUTH God's grace, and never tried to make the gospel more attractive by entertaining the audience, nor by telling heart-rending tales of tragedy to arouse the emotions, in their teaching the supreme tragedy Is that all men are sinners (Rom. 3:23) and the supreme gift is eternal life through Christ (Rom. Despite these plain TRUTHS entertainment and Christianity have become confused by many people, and great efforts are made to reach sinners with hired comedians, bands, and singers. It is true that these are entertaining, but they are not the power of God unto salvation, It is an Interesting fact that the apostles converted untold thousands to Jesus Christ without any of means; without even a guitar! But now the guitar is indispensable to mrny religious groups. This Is not to suggest that the guitar itself Is evil- rather it Is the use of the guitar (or anything else) to displace the gospel and give sinners false hope.

The GOSPEL Is GOD'S power to save the souL The most widely used method of solid waste disposal is crude open dumping, which now accounts for more than 75 percent of all collected refuse, A far more satisfactory disposal method is the sanitary landfill, in which waste is compacted and covered each day with a layer of soil, selection. An interesting half day was spent with Jerry James help-' lng him work out a long range grazing program on the Little farm nearMurphreesbpro, Jerry has made a good start this year toward a perman- -ent pasture program consisting on fields of bermuda and banal grass to complete his pasture needs. He has not made the mistake of some r.ew comers in the cattle business, by getting too many cattle before adequate pastures are established. His herd Is being developed enough grass Is established to support them. k-x TALLAHATCHIE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT IMMUNIZATION CLINIC SCHEDULE Sumner- Every week, 8 tol2-lto 4:15.
