The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1902-02-08

oiouhu tAO Olu SdplIOl last Wtth, anu
much eloquence was e%ngendered On
both sides of the house by the various
subjects of import brought up. In the
Senate much sparring for and against
the prohibition bill-or, as it is called
by its friends, "the ladies' bill, God
bless 'em!" and by it's opposers, the
bill that stands meath the petticoat
f1ag"-has been INDUCED in, and when
ever 1t comes up the Senate enjoys
floods of earnest ~eloquence from the
one side and skillful fencing, with
also a goodly share Of eloquence, from
the other. The Hobbies fill with ladies
of the W. C. T. u, who listen eagerly
to every word and who keep tab on
every member as he votes. 1t is a no.
ticeable fact that all of these notes
are carried home by the w. c.. T. U.
ladies, presumably for use against Ger.
tain Senators at some future time,
when they need the suffrage which
these good ladies control-or at least
largely influence. The prohibition
sentiment in the Senate Is strong and
the bill will doubtless go through in
favor OF statutory prohibition. Other
matters Of paramount interest are the
appropriation bills OF the various State
educational institutions. Very large
sums are asked for the maintenance of
these institutions, but it Is generally
conceded that every dollar asked for
is needed. The various boards Of trus.
tees together with the presidents and
the legislative committees (Which have
carefully examined into every item
and recommend their passage) con-
stltute authorities sufficient to silence
the most carping critic and competent
to answer the most searching ques-
tons. The money asked for by the
, University, the l.. l. & C. and the A..
& NJ. College is all needed, If we would
{ see these institutions continue to ad.
t vance along their present lines and
, properly equipped and prepared for
7 this advancement. Dur great educa-
= tional institutions are famous through.
: out the land, and the members of this
: Legislature seem determined that they
shall not fall below the present high
, standard through any fault of theirs
The question of establishing a med.
ical department in connection with the
University at Oxford does not meet
with much favor. 1t seems to be the
prevalent idea that it would ruin the
' prospects of such a school to locate Il
in so small an inland town as Oxford
- where necessarily the clinic and dis
> section would be greatly restricted. A
large number of the solons seem to de
u sire a medical college, but desire tina
it be located in Jackson Gas a centra
Ii point). and that all the State hospi
1 tails be united there in one great in
Il ~stitution worthy of the State we live
in. And to n who keeps up with
affairs this seems an excellent plan
Something should certainly be done
and done quickly, to enable us to car,
% for our own sick and suffering people
l instead of dumping them in on thu
~ charity hospital in New Orleans o.

IL Memphis and New Orleans. Man
% matters Of minor Importance havt
80 been before both houses, of which on

H. daily press.
n A most unusual occurrence was tina
Of a double funeral in Grenada las
Il week. On this sad occasion Mrs. Caro-
+. line Williams (born Lake., aged so
and her cousin, Capt. w. P. Lake, aget
SO. were buried at the same time il
the Grenada Cemetery (but died a
different points,. 1t is a strange co
70 incidence that, at the marriage of Mr.
N Levin Lake of Armour county man,
+. years ago, these parties, the cousin
and the brother of Mr.. Levin Lake
70 stood together as attendants, and wer
always as devoted as cousins could be
Se 1t was a strange, but, we believe,
" happy coincidence, that they should G
to the Long Home together.

CT There is only one south of P~hiladelphi
