grand old College, which for nearly
half a century has stood for all that is
grandest and noblest In christian
civilization. The term just finished
has been perhaps the most successful
of any in the entire history. We
understand that the closing examina-
tions were Of a highly satisfactory
nature, showing not only that the
faculty had done faithful and con-
s~cientious work, but that they have
required the same of their pupils.
Rev. w. M. Mcintosh has certainly
proven conclusively that he Is the
right man in the right place." and
when we contrast the status OF our
college-for it is Grenada's college
with the way it stood at this time last
year, we feel like congratulating the
Board Of Trustees on the discrimination
they displayed in selecting a president.
LITTLE FOLKS CONCERT.
On Friday evening at s o'clock the
curtain rose on the annual entertain
ment by and for the little folks. Mrs.
E.. G. Payne, the accomplished princi-
pal of this department., is too we'll
known to require commentator at our
hands. For more than a score OF
years, quietly and unostentatiously
but thoroughly and firmly, she has been
laying the foundation work Of collegiate
education by starting the children
correctly in the fundamentals. The
mothers and fathers OF Grenada are the
best judges of her work and they,
with n accord, pronounce it "well
DONE" Friday evenings entertainment
was a success in every respect and Mrs
Payne Is to be heartily congratulated
for the same. Without appearing to
make invidious distinctions we would
like to mention the violin solo, played
with exquisite grace by Miss jamie

thirty little girls and boys marched &c
strains of music Excepting step" with
