GRENADA ANbTHE NrrTHODrST
COLLEGE.

! Churches, as well as Stats Use bus-
mess methods in directing their eour-
ellis, and ia establishing the Metho-
dit Male College, that principle will
10 Il certain extent control the Board
whose next meeting will be held In
Grenada. While we have no voice in
tfipif nivstiug, ii is our privilege to
present inducements, as We think,
why 1t should be established in Gren-
ada.
Fisrtuit geographically suits the sur
rounding sphere Of that powerful re
ligions organization. From this point
1t reaches a territory not yet occupied
to its full extent, as In other parts of
the State. This is an important fact
which the locating committee will
notoverlook, as it Is the purpose of
the church, whether at no ne or
abroad to utilize her advantages fair
~ and honestly no matter where they
spring. This seems to US a radiating
point containing geographical
space, and more population, than any
point in fine State, without infringing
ground already occupied.
Then, there is here, an established
institution Of gsAat msaAont, which
the committee cannot overlook, and
that is the great and growing Collie
giate Institute, in the hands of that
able man Rev. r. J. Newell, whose
executive ability has been deeply
stamped on the creation of his own
genus. Endow that institution, witch
will be done, and establish the male
college already endowed, the Metho-
dist will hold the fort of progress and
power for indefinite time. With these
two active educational forces working
tremendously in the public interest.
for the education Of both sexes, wheth-
er Methodist, Presbyterian, Bapt list
Episcopalian 0 Cnathollc, they will
present advantages which can be Of
fered by no other place, to the same
extent in the State.
Take our community at large, We
have as intelligent progressive people

Offor, population in numbers always

churches here, but they act in sweet
consoling harmony Of each Others in

ed in reference to Grenada getting
this college, is that girls and boys
could be educated from n home
standpoint. Not only would this be

the sweet influences of home fireside

Now, right here Is the solution.
What do strangers want with q house
In a town going TO-? The fact Is,
the foundation of no new house is
laid before 1t Is rented. We are for
tilted Ia this asse ition or we would
not have made 1t. II such III a.
Mr.. John Gritfis, Col. William Pass,
w. G. Mclean aud some others, will
turn their minds towards building up
their town, instead Of going else
where, Grenada will at no distant
day be the leading city Of north MIS-.
sissippi. Yes the wants Of Grenada
to-day, is good comfortable cottages
for white people, and as many sham
ties for the colored people a. their
means and ambition will justify.
Gentlemen, don't be afraid to build
good houses, because good people will
o occupy them.
That the time must come when the
Clubhouse and cotton mill will be close
neighbors is becoming more evident
every day we live. The transportation
and re-transportation of cotton from
the South to the North, and then back
for consumption, absorbing millions of
dollars, which max, the manufact-
nrers, the railroads and steamships
rich, Is claiming moro attention than
at any previous period in our history.
Ii the cotton m lis of the South are not
doing well 1t Is because they do not
know how to use their advantages.
Grenada might have been a rich and
growing city to-day, had she consoli-
dated her little capital in that direc.
ton. We have two places in the
State, where the proofs Of this fact can
be established, and these points are
Natchez and Wesson. Similar causes
produce similar results, when con-
ditions are equal, is an automatic
truth. The manufacturers of the
North have grown rich by turning the
raw material into textile fabicrs. while
millions of laborers have earned their
bread and butter by it. When the
cotton is manufactured here, our
towns will grow in wealth and popu-
lation. The skilled labor of the North
would eh~eerfully swap places from
Massachusetts to Mississippi, all that
is wanted is, to give that labor em-
ployment.

South coast railway company.
The material comprises 1,430 piles

gineer Thielson, to be examined and
graded, with authority to let the con-

A good story is told about a man
who has twelve acres of land in Se-
attle to sell. He asked $3.50 per acre
and finally found a purchaser at that
figure. His wife, however, refused to
sign the deed, and the sale was off.
Then he offered the land for 900 an
acre and again a purchaser was found,
and again the good wife exercised her
royal prerogative and refused to sign
the deed. The property is now for
sale at $4,000 for the twelve acres.
Fortunate is the man who possesses a
wife who knows how to sign deeds iu-
diciously.

Lincoln Parker came in last even
ing and reported to coroner Surprenant
the discovery of the remains OF a man
on the Nehalem divide, between the
seven and eight mile posts last Satur-
day. The body was So badly decom-
posed that it was impossible to ident-
ify it in any way. In the pockets we're
piece of candle, q bunch of matches,
a piece of tobacco and q knife. The
body was lying by the ashes of camp
fire, and from appearances it seemed
as though the unfortunate man was
lost and died of starvation and ex-
posure. Coroner Surprenant directed
that the remains be buried where
found.

THE MISSING BOAT.
Nothing Definite Learned as Yet.

Harrison Bristow returned from a
trip to Florence, Wednesday. He re-
ports that life boat of the wrecked
steamer alaskan was found on the
beach, south Of Florence. with three
holes stove In her. It is probably the
missing boat, as the current would
have carried the boat, that was aban.
doned at Cape Perpetua north instead
of south. If it proves to be the miss.
ing boat, the seamen who left the
Alaskan. in her have found q watery
grave. Wreckage was coming ashore
near Florence. One party picked up
bureau intact, and several doors had
been secured.-Eatgene City Guard,
Jtt71e I.
Upon clipping out the above, an
AsToRIAN reporter interviewed Capt
Howes who said: 1T may be the
missing boat, or it may be the one
that had its bow stove in when it was
launched. There were four boats
launched, and one of them with two
men in it, had its bow smashed. The
two men jumped into another boat
and the injured one was sent adrift to
keep it from iamming against the
others, which had not yet been cast
off"
Since the above was in type, the
OTesonian is received with the fol
lowing:
Captain ]. j. Winant of the steamer
Mischief, writing from Empire City un-
der date of May 30, says, regarding the
sinking of the steamer Alaskan:
There is boat lying on the beach
about two or three miles north of En-
pire City which is thought to be one of
those belonging to the lost steamer Alas
kan. 1t is wooden boat lap-streaked,
copper fastened, with the bow broken off
and it is probably the one that was stove
in in launching
From this it would appear that
the boat reported by Bristow to the
Eugene City Guard is the missing
boat, and that her luckless occupants
must have perished.

1t seems that about seven years ago an
English physician, great student OF Bot
any, located in this city. His practice
was not extensive, and yet the few cases
that came to him attracted no little atten-
tiOn. His great success seemed to be In the
treatment Of liver and kidney disorders
and Yitisted blood. He seemed almost
infallIble, and his well-kept secret was as
much mystery as himself ,After his de.
parture Mr.. Joy determined to fathom the
secret, and copying all the prescriptions
he had filed for the erratic doctor, he
began systematic analysis. He diseoy-
