The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1901-05-11

Soon after the death of jefferson |
Davis, December &, 1889, . movement
was inaugurated for the erection OF .
monument to him in Mississippi Con-
siderable sums were subscribed and de-
posted in the local banks. AT one OF
the meetings of the United Confederate
Veterans it was deemed best that all
the Southern States should unite in the
collection of funds. A committe, con-
sisting of one for each State, was ap-
pointed. After about twenty thousand
dollars had been collected, the COM
mittee met in Richmond and adopted .
design, and provided for the erection
of monument in Monroe Park-the
remains of Mr.. Davis having been in
the meantime, removed from New Or
leans to Richmond. This writer was
the Mississippi member of the COM
mittee, and he has been endeavoring to
locate the monument subscriptions and
send them to the treasurer at Rich
mond. He has just received from Maj.
K. w. Millsaps, president Capital State
Bank, the sum of S26S.a5, which has
years. Similar deposits, in other banks,
should be sent to Mrs Edgar D. Taylor,
treasurer central committe Daughters
of the Confederacy, Richmond. The
ladies have assumed the work of build
ing the monument, which means that il
will be pushed forward to completion.
While this column would not attempt
to chronicle the marriages occurring
even among the young people most
prominent throughout the State, lest
the record take up all our space, we
| feel that we cannot let the marriage Of
Miss Ida Frinck formerly of Vicks-
burg), and Mr.. Johns, of Natchez, pass
unnoted. Miss Frnck, though still .
young woman, has for many years held
the responsible position of supervisor
| at the State Insane Hospital at jack
son, a position of great responsibility
| and one requiring utmost tact and alb
| solute devotion. That she had made
for herself high place in the esteem
of the physicians and other authorities.
| as well as the nurses and the un-
| fortunate inmates. was fully demon.
strated by their genuine regret at Civ.
ing her up. That all who have loved
ones within those walls will hear of the
| departure of this tried and true friend
sure are we of their good wishes for
her married life. If she finds as much
sunshine along her pathway as she has
| scattered over others, she will, indeed,
be blessed beyond most women.
The closing exercises of what has
proven the banner class" of Memphis
great Hospital Medical College took
place April Goth. when 1ss young men
received their diplomas from the in.
stitution's superb faculty. 1t is an
honor to 60 through the prescribed
course of study with such ability as to
earn, at the end of the term prescribed,
all the honors attendant upon the class
appearance arrayed in cap and gown,
on the rostrum of the great Auditorium
in company with men so eminent in
their profession as are the physicians
composing the faculty and the gentle
men of the board of directors. Hence
Mississippi feels genuine pleasure in
the knowledge that two of her boys
were chosen from this great plumber to
fill the positions of internes at the Mem
phis hospitals. These young men, SO
signaliy honored, were d. L. Smythe,
to be inferno at st. Joseph's, and II. N.
Mayes, to be inferno at the City Hos
pital. Another Mississippi boy, F. G.
Spalding, won the prize for the best
record in materia medicae.

great orators of our land, made an ad-
