On Monday we enjoyed (?) charming,

ed to believe that if the great poet,
Thomson, had lived in New York. in
the spring of this year of grace, 1882, he
would have been tempted to write in
stead of his musical,
"Come, gentle spring. ethereal mildness, come"

Stately as deer of anthers.
All the many sounds of nature

Born and raised near here, Jno. Grit
fis has "grown up with our growth and
strengthened with our strength" until
he stands the peer of any business man
in Grenada, and as the head OF large
house Of experience and capital he left
on Wednesday morning last for the large
Eastern cities for the purpose of spend
ing about three weeks in the selection
OF the largest and best assorted stock OF
goods ever opened to the admiring gaze
OF this people. With taste, character
and capital to back him, we feel assured
that his ambition to succeed will be
allowed unstinted indulgence. No man
is better acquainted with the wants and
tastes Of our people than Jno. Grifiis,
and he intends to supply the one and
crafty the other in full, and don't you
forget that he is just the man to do these
things.

We know that we voice the sympa-
tnetic and intelligent sentiment of this
community, when we chronicle the sue
cess of any of "our boys" who lett us for
other and distant States in pursuit of
fortune, fame and honor. So, we take
pleasure in speaking of the effort of N. G.
Snider Jr., as the orator of an occasion
in Texas that called from the Hesperian,
an able and progressive daily published
in GAINESVILLE, the comprehensive compli-
ment of "Superb." Mr.. Snider left here
few years since, almost as soon as he
had reached his majority, to plant his
standard of success or failure in the
Lone Star State, which in few more
years, unless cut up into cotton and
wheat patches to suit the ambition of
intriguing politicians, with her immense
domlin Of teeming millions will hang
upon the Southwest of our massive
Union, like New York upon the North>
east as the two mighty outposts of power
to hold in check the turbulence of de-
mestic disquiet, and repel the aggressive
footsteps of the. foreign invader Gains
vile is progressive ambitious little city,
that put fifteen thousand dollars in q
splendid academy of learning for the
benefit Of the public and on opening its
doors for use, the people wished to sig
nalize the event by demonstration of
moral and intellectual attraction, and to
accomplish this effectually our friend was
the chief chosen orator,-a compliment
10 his high personal character and cult
waited intellect
"Crip." Shider is a "chip of the old
block" who resides in our midst, in the
full vigor of an advanced manhood, doing

The number OF clerks and the vast
array OF goods at Lake & Austins, would
indicate large fall business, and that
is just what they mean. They have the
goods DOW in huge piles and rows, and
are receiving more every day, and they
are ready to sell from pound to a hun
dred barrels OF flour, from few ounces
to ten thousand pounds Of meat, from
one yard OF calico, to enough to wrap
every woman in the county in full
sized gown, domestic enough, to make
every man and boy in our county limets,
a shirt with standing collar, boots and
shoes enough to make a pedal outfit for
a larger army than that which follows
the standard Of Arab Bey. These goods
are to sell here in this market, low for
cash, and Lake q Austin are the men to
push their sales while they pull down
the prices. That's business and call and
see if they cannot ratiiy all that we have

The BaII at wfnona.

We. had the pleasure of attending a
ball at Winona on Thursday night, where
beauty and chivalry We'd with each other
in the emulation of graces. Winona is
famed, no less for her handsome captiva-
ting ladies than for her gallant and en-
terprising men. Witty's hall never
shone more resplendent with the charm
ing graces of lovely women and brave
men, than on this occasion, and never
were people in brighter humor for en-
joying the Aeeting hours. The dance in
all of its beautiful mazes, was spun like
Fairy gossamer wherein the poetry of
motion was expressed in style of beauty
and admiration. The music was all that
the graces of sound could desire--a native
band of cultivated musicians discoursed
to the graceful motions Of sylph>like
forms of ladies and gentlemen, while wit
sparkled, and repartee flashed as il from
floating stats, and The bright illuminau
tion of the lassies, threw over the
scene, one of enchantment almost. The
floor managers were exceedingly kind to
the visiting young gentlemen, and did
everything in their power to make the
dance as pleasant as possible for them,
and right royalty did they succeed
May we soon attend another such.

Grenada is not the only town in Mis-.

| Grenada is not the only town in Mis-
sissippi which is complaining of a wan
of an efficient school for the preliminar,
education ofthe young of both sexes
We speak OF preliminary education a
that which antedates larger course an(
more extended range in colleges ant
universities, intended to give the fin
ishing points to education. The great
er number of those receiving learning il
our local schools will never be able tc
! go beyond the attainments of the towr
or village academy, consequently they
should be so organized as amply to meet
the demands OF early education. We
mean by that, that there should be teach
ers Of accepted experience and ability,
OF unquestioned moral character, books
selected with reference to the tastes OF
our people and the import of public
opinion. The labors OF the school room
should be so divided that each teacher
should have certain branches of study
assigned him or her, to which their
minds and purpose could be solely
directed.
Such school could not fail to develop
the most favorable results combining as
it would, all the benefits Of early intel
lectual and moral training The terms
should be cheap enough to invite the
poor, and its methods should be so i'm
partial, that an who entered its portals
should stand alike upon schollarshipand
good behavior.
There are plenty of children in this
town, ii united in one, to make school
OF which our whole people would be
justly proud and which would scatter its
blessings. from family to family,
until we would feel CRATE
full for such generous benefits.
Certainly our public opinion is not so
much behind that OF a common Western
or New England village, nor is our re-
ligion more dwarfed by sectarian influ-
ence, nor are our morals more cramped
by religious intolerance, that we cannot
have in our midst, what is so common
amongst the Northern and Western peo-
pie OF our common country, q first rate
school for the education OF the children
OF our town Surely if there are those
so highborn and rich, that their chill
drens usefulness might be hampered,
their pride humiliated and their talents
overshadowed by contact with the off
spring Of those whose social positions are
not equal, then they could exercise the
inalienablc right OF keeping them at
home or sending them off where their
pride can be cultivated at the expense OF
their minds, as has been too often the
case in this country. We do not think,
however, that we have many, if any, Of
that sort OF people.
In such a school, we do not know that
we have the qualified teachers amongst
us. five have, by all means give them
the preference. Ii we have not, then 90
but let US have a school that
will answer the ends OF a firm educa-
tional basis, form our judgment Edu-
cation is lifetime business, and ii we
havea solid foundation the superstructure
may grow grander in its proportions as
we live and learn. In conclusion, we
would say distinctly that we mean no
to any OF the schools now
or to be in Grenada, as we
in each something that we
honor, and much that we can raise,
ind yet each one falls short, to some
extent OF the great ends OF early educa-
ion. .
