The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1900-03-17
SATURDAY. 1900.

Pullnans pulled OF In two sections for Gre
NADIA, Mississippi. the first stop. Grenada is
a small, historical village of about three or
four thousand inhabitants. 1t is a county
seat town of a county which like all the rest
In Mississippi, is thoroughly democratic re-
gardless of the number OF colored pOpula-
tion. 1t is a town Of churches and boasts of
one of the best educational institutions in
the state, and an institution which would be
a credit to any northern locality. The ex
cursion party stopped here for breakfast,
and on going up town found a magnificent
banquet prepared by the citizens and spread
In the court house. 1t was the best spread
we encountered during the trip and the only
one large enough to accommodate the entire
party at one sitting. Much Of the sccess of
this reception was due to ]. W. Buchanan,
one Of the editors of the place, who is not
only lineal descendant of President James
Buchanan, but unique character and
prince of good fellows. The banquet was
prepared and served by the ladies of the
town who were out masse, not only to feed,
but to welcome the editors of the National
| observation-disclosures (Oklahoma) Democrat.
On the morning of the 24th the association
awakened in Grenada, Miss, and to the
strains of negro band took up the march to
the Court House. Here on long tables
made for the occasion the good ladies Of the
town had prepared ample provisions for 440
hungry people. AS the town has only about
$500 population the affair was very credit
able, taken in connection with the addresses
at the Baptist church by President McIn-
tosh, of the Grenada Female College, and
Rev. w A. HAMLET, pastor of the church
The oratory was Of a high order and one
could not help but feel that the warm vel.
coming addresses were sincere rather thar
platitudes or blarney. Referring to the de
vastations of Grenada by Tornado, war, 6rs
and fever, Mr.. Mcintosh claimed she was ye
rich In manhood and womanhoOd, and paid 6
tribute TO the very creditable showing Of thu
town In the matter Of schools and churches
He stated that not Grant nor Sherman de
; feated the southern people but the newspa
, pers wrote them down and now he wante'
the editors to write them up. He then di
. lated on the new birth Of the south and 1t
wonderful possibilities. - Wellsburg yves

On Saturday morning our train pulled int
Grenada, Mississippi, and we mot with tn
t same cordially. A nice breakfast was serv
ed to us here, and when you consider ths
d Grenada has but a population of about 3,ot
. people, and many Of these are the WORTHLESS
i blacks, you can readily see that this was u
V small undertaking. Grenada Is the home I
e the most liberal, enterprising and joll
d newspaper man in the whole south, Mr. ].
Buchanan. He is beloved by his people, ar
n, his advice is followed by the town. vel

n things In connection with this town that
St would like to mention, but as l said bcfor
