soiiloquy OF old Joe" The Grenada Col
lege Horse.

1ege Horse.
The Sophomore class "B" having
been requested to exercise themselves
In writing ~soliloquies, la Hamlet
and otherwise) some very unique speci>
mems of the monologue were produced.
The following, by that bright ana
intelligent young lady, Miss Nina Lou
Haley, touched such a tender chord In
the hearts of her auditors that, by
special request we insert it in the Col
lege notes.
81 am only an old, worn out horse,
but l was once one OF the best IN the
country. l was not battered then as
am now. / was born in "Old Ken
tuckyn and 1 have always been a
preachers horse. 1 first belonged to q
Presbyterian minister, and he treateo
me very we'll, but a neutrality-suspicious.
came along and wanted to buy a horse,
and then my troubles began. He treat
ed me very nicely for about five years.
Then he took me to a college to live,
and then my woes began in earnest.
There are about ninety girls boarding
in this college and every time one OF
them wants to go stO town, driving or
anywhere else, they have to have "Old
Joe" hitched to the surrey to TAX
them. Just as If they couldn't walk
that distance. In the evening after
| school Uncle Frank sometimes bitches
me to a pillow and I have to pillow till
dark. 1 am the only horse around
here and so l have it all to do, and l
can promise you that l don't have q
good time always. l feel awfully tired
when my days work is done, and will
be so GLAD when these girls go home,
and may be l won't have SO much to do
then However, since Brother Mcln-
tosh has purchased his new buggy, l
feel that life may still be worth living,
and when his pretty Secretary climbs
In behind me and fourishes her whip
with that pretty bow on it over my
back, l always wish there was a Kodak
around, for l am SUR there is no finer
sight in town. than "Old Joe" and
Miss Warner.
l heard Brother Mcintosh say not
long ago that he had "a tender feeling
for me, for he felt that we were trea'ed
pretty much alike"
Our President Is taking a much needed
rest of a few days at Dyersburg, Tenn, the
guest of Rev. W. W. Adams, of the Methods,
church in that thriving city. We are always
sorry to see him go and glad to welcome him
back.
Our much-loved lady President, Mrs. W,
W. Mcintosh. expects to attend the meeting
of the "World's Ecumenical Missionary Con-
ference, which holds it third session In New
York City, In april. 1t will be an occasion
of rare interest and pleasure, and the entire
College joins in wishing our first lady" a
pleasant trip and a safe return. Like most
strong forces, the sun and air for instance,
Mrs. Mcintosh is a power for good, that
while noiseless, is far-reaching.
One by one our girls are returning from
their visits home, after having the measles
and only one more, Miss Nellie Woods, is yet
to return. Misses Esmer Scurr, Pattie Floyd,
Mary Hudson, Lula Davis, Ethel Gordon and
Ellen Farmer returned this week, and were
greeted joyously after their enforced absence
from the school-room.
Our new chemical laboratory arrived Sat
urday, after a months delay en- transit, and
Grenada College stands ready now to Offer
the same advantages along the line of chem.
ical experiment that are offered In the much
Wanted schools of the North and East. v
The Senior class has been testing the the.
o~retical knowledge by practical Laboratory
work this week, and the result is eminently
satisfactory to all Observation-Disclosures AND
pupil. None Of them are likely to share the
fate of the good little boy whose early de
mise is thus recorded: :
Our Willie now Is safe in Heaven,
Gone to the golden shore,
Cause what he thought was H2O,
