COLLEGE NOTES.

Grenada College challenges records with
any other school. North or South on one
point, viz; that of the return Of all the
boarding pupils after the Christmas holi-
days. 1t Is such a common occurrence for a
number OF girls to remain at home after
Christmas, that we feel proud of having re-
ceived the last lamb into the fold this week,
A number OF new girls have also been ad-
ded to our list, of boarders, which has near
ly reached the hundredth mark. Miss Lii
ian Red, and Ella Faison reached the College
on Friday evuning last from Centenary Col
lege, Cleveland, Tenn. Being Mississippi
girls undianola) they reached the sensible
conclusion that they could find more advan-
| tages at home that elsewhere. We endorse
| this idea and give them the right hand of
fellowship"
The Misses Martins of Graysport and Miss
Kate Boyett of the Delta are among our
recent charming acquisitions.
The nineteenth or twentiety century"
problem is agitating the minds of the occu-
pants of the college. As "His Holiness the
Pope" and the Car OF all the Russian have
declared for the former and Emperor BIZ
Of Germany, the latter, we feel that the dis
putants on either side may console them
selves with the old adage, Great minds
will differ"
Some time in the near future, the Argoni-
an and Delphian Literary Societies will give
a joint entertainment for the benefit of the
College library; and a cordial invitation to
all friends Of the College will De extended
Due notice of the time and programme will
be'given latter.

in a happy frame of mind, some of them /
| is reported being as anxious to get back Il
they were to get home.

able to look at the question from a logic
standpoint.
The Musical Department at this tin
drawing very near to the close Of the fiji
half-year is in a better condition, so we ha'
% been informed, than at any previous tin
in its history, showing a remarkable degr
of efficiency in the pupils OF the various
"A partments. Pinano, Vocal and stringed
struments. Great credit is due Miss Coz
the Direction OF Music and her efficient
Il workers, Misses Jones, Wyatt, Cone al
