GRENADA COLLEGE NOTES.
What is Happening at This Popular
Place of Learning.

Place of Learning.
President Mcintosh is certainly to
be congratulated shat this, the fourth
week of his school, dawheG upon such
propitious prospects. With the old
college crowded from ''pit to dome''
with the Scream de la cream" Of Mis-
sIssippi's brightest and best girls, all
happy to be under his parental care,
with u faculty which will vie In worth
with that Of any college In this broad
land, and above all, with q lovely, con-
secrated wife ready to second his ef-
forts In .'every good word and work, y
he certainly must feel that his earnest
prayer and faithful work for the school
have been abundantly rewarded. 1t
is probable that there Is no other man
in the South, certainly not In Missis-
sippi, who could have snatched s'vic-
tory from defeat" in the manner in
which our president achieved the
same. ''Consecrated electricity" works
wonders.
The two literary societies. with Miss
Duval as lady manager. are already
beginning to impress their influence
upon the social and scholastic side Of
the college. The following young
ladies are making faithful and efficient
officers: OF the Delphian Society: Miss
Mary Carothers, President; Miss Lii
ian Woodard, Vice President; Miss
Eula Dorsey, Secretary; Miss Ada
Walton, Treasurer; Miss Mary Ella
Tucker, Censor; Miss Susie Ramsay,
Critic; Misses Mary Hoskins and Mary
Tucker, Senior and Junior Wardens.
OF the Argonian: Miss Gertrude Bur
roughs, President; Miss Annie Fay Du'
bard, Vice President; Mis- Courtenay
Tatum, Secretary; Miss Lila Roane,
Treasurer; Miss Ethel Gordon, Censor;
Miss Lizzie Perry, Critic; Misses Mary
Sanders land Mary Sanders, Senior
and Junior Wardens.
The colors of the Delphians are pale
blue and wine color; Of the Argonians,
crimson and gold. Like the houses Of
York and Lancaster they have the red
and white rose as the flower Of their
adoption, but we trust that the "Wars
ui the Roses" will not be repeated ex-
cept in the way Of friendly competition
Each society in addition to their lit
erary work will make study OF par
liamentary law and practice during the
fall and win.er mouths. In an age Oi
woman's clubs and conventions, she
who is not familiar with parliamentary
rule will not keep up with the pro-
cessiOn." ~
We welcomed with pleasure the fol-
lowing clerical gentlemen who ap-
peared upon our rostrum during the
past week at the time Of our morning
exercises: Revs. Messrs. Morehead
and Dye, Of the Methodist church, aud
Solomon, Of the Baptist. The latter
served as chaplain to one OF the brave
Mississippi regiments during the late
Spanish-Amcricsn war, and the young
ladies who saw him in his uniform DE-.
clared him to be "too handsome for
anything." So young soldier of the
''church spiritual and church militant
ought to succeed in all his undertake
ings. We shall welcome all ministers,
and ''there are others we know" iu
Grenada, at all times to our college
home. The college is Methodist bui

Mrs. NJ. /. Hoskins, the efficient lady
principal Of Grenada College, has al
ready won golden opinions from the
faculty and student body OF this insti'
tuition. A woman Of broad culture,
loving and lovable in disposition and
withal strict disciplinarian, she per-
fectly realizes Scott's description Of ar
ideal woman: "A perfect woman nobly
planned, born to comfort and com'
mand."
Our chef de cuisine, Monroe, with the
additional prestige gained at Mont
eagle during the summer just past, is .
very important factor In the college
work. The plentiful and appetizlne
food served three times per day adds ne
little to the comfort and conteutment 0l
the happy family Of boarders.
The days Of lawn tennis and football
on the college green are numbered
Soon the "cosy corner" and the cheer.
full fireplace will be the most attract
i've places 4 student can find. The
soda fount, too, will lose some Of it,
charms, though the charms Of iced te'
seem perennial.
The fame Of Grenada College undel
the present management has reached
the trans. Mississippi cities, and We vii
soon number one Of Little Rocks fail
daughters upon our roster. So mucf
for the iudici0us advertising Of Glowing
friends" as our esteemed William
Shakespeare and the proprietors 0
"Mellen's food" would say.
It was too bad, In view Of the coming
! event, that our young friend Mr.. Sal
1 mon should pose before the young col
lege teachers as an inconsolable bach
elor.
On Saturday evening at the Societies
entertainment some very good speeche
we're made by several gentlemen amonl
. the audience, notably those two goo
friends Of the college, DR.. Scruggs an
]. w. Buchanan. II is hard to believ
. that the first chance either Of ther
;. ever had to make speech was 10
''woman's meetin'.
"Yellow Jack" has no terrors for th'
: inmates Of Grenada College who con
Z sider themselves immune to all dia
: eases worse than bad colds and sor
throats.
Miss Jones, our talented elocutionis,
was applauded to the echo on the tw
evenings last week when she favore
