COLLEGE.
Rev. W.aM. Mcintosh Has a Few
Words TO Say
Regarding This Important, institution.


We fully realize hat the support of
our College last session was largely
due to the deep interest aud hearty CO.
operation felt and given by the good
people OF Grenada. Therefore, realiz-
Ing this fact, we nov call upon the
good people OF our town to assist US by
not only talking the advantages of our
school, but by giving us a liberal pat
ronage. The town ought to give US at
least one hundred local pupils, ana
then there would be plenty lett to be
educated by the city. Grenada College
ought to be the pride of every patri-
osic citizen of the town and county.
This point has always been an educa-
tional center, and with a well equipped
college and u frst-class public school.
there is no reason why it should not be
more so. The new railroad that is be-
ing built ought to bring II number Of
families here, from the delta, that thes
may get first-class educational advant.
ages for their children. Considering
it as "a business proposition there is
hardly Il better paying institution in
town. We spent in this town last year
between thirteen and fifteen thousand
dollars. The prospects for the College
are baighter than ever before. The
attention OF the public is directed
toward our school and the tide is In
our favor, and there is no reason why
we should not nave a large school here
and make IL u paying institution OF
twenty-five thousand dollars, if we only
had the room to accommodate the girls.
While we regret that we will not be
able to build our annex this summer. il
Is just u question OF a little time when
ali the money will be raised for this
purpose. However, we will try to pro
vide for all The girls in some way until
this work is completed. Some big
hearted man ought to give US several
hundred dollars to improve our reel.
tation rooms. We think our schoo'
will compare with any of the female
colleges of the State.
Some OF our teachers have State rep
~utations and their superiors are hare
to find anywhere. While the "literar,
advantages are very fine, this mex
year we are going to give special at
s~ention to the music and art depart
ments. The music department will D,
presided over by that faithful teacher
Miss Coney. and she will be assisted b,
Miss Wyatt. Miss Coney Is now il
Boston studying. and Miss Wyatt is i
New York. There has never been
music teacher in this school who ha
given greater satisfaction in prsparin,
our young ladies for the regular cor
conservatory work than the presen
one, and | am sure it would be hard
find an assistant superior 10 Mis-
Wyatt. Ralph Bingham, that prodig
10 elocution aud music, thinks he ha
never found any one who has NOR
natural talent than she.
Miss Jones, who Will have charge {
the vocal department, is spending tn
summer in New York in order TO Or,
pare herself for this special depar
ment. Mrs. Hunter, OF Talledega, Ala
Is our teacher OF art, and she has nc
only studied at hume, but abroad.
Therefore, with these superior &C
vantages we see no reason why on
young ladies should GO off to any of GU
colleges TO seek these advantage,
when they can secure them so niue
cheaper at home. We are very prou
OF the fact that heretofore we hav
been able to almost entirely control a
the local patronage and we see no re,
son why we should hot have all OF
this next year.
The primary department will still b
presided over by Mrs. Payne, who, W
think, is one Of the finest teachers 70
children we have ever known, and W
have been connected with different &c
. ucational work for a good while. an
, have had much observation. Will
we will exclude the boys from tn
regular college department, the pr
mary department will be opened t
both the boys and the girls.
Please see us as early as possible an
make arrangements TO place you
children in our college for the mex
session.
Again thanking you fo" your liberia
patronage in the past, and asking 20
for your support this mex session,
am, Yours truly,
