REAR ADMIRAL sCHLEY IN GRENADA
Falls Into the Hands Of the College Girls

1t was but very short stay, but the
special train bearing Rear Admiral
Schley and party from Memphis en-
route to Jackson stopped in Grenada
Thursday morning about six O'Clock.
That he would travel on speciaI
train was known to but few people
and SO very few were present to greet
the distinguished gentleman. III
some way the Colleg9 girls found ont
what time the special would pass here
and large number of them were at
the depot. The girls never get lcft'
and they were given hearty recep-
tion bv Mr.. Schlcv. They tc'c-
graphed for him to be awake when he
reached here, and he responded by
appearing as soon as the train stopped.
Some time ago the ArgOnian Literary
| Society at the College elected him aa
honorary member and its president,
Miss Clarice Fregoe, made very neat,
appropriate little speech Of welcome
to him. She said:
Soon after your distinguished victory over
the spaniards at Santiago you did us the

This was made from the platform

was standing. He was struck by the

the men who long years ago went out
| from their sunny southern homes SO
dear to them to endure the hardshlps

freely shed their blood and gave up
life itself in defence OF cause which
they felt in their inmost souls was
just and right. Comrades, thirty
seven years have passed since the
thunders of war were hushed, and the
passions OF war were calmed, and
many who went out from their homes
with brave hearts and bright hopes
never came back. They went down
to death on the field of battle, or fell
a sacrifice to the ravages of disease.
And when the war was ended, and all
was over, many father and mother
in their desolate home in our beloved
south looked with tenderness and sad
ness on the Old gray jacket their SOL

In closing. the speaker made the

THE CONFEDERATE DEAD.
Graves Decorated Last Saturday.
Memorial Services at the Baptist
Church Sunday.

1t is fitting tribute to the memo
ry of the brave soldiers who fought and
died in the days of 1S61-5 for their
beloved Southland for principle they
believed right-and even though de-
feat was theirs, the belief in principle
remained mistaken that their graves
should at least once year be bedeck-
ed with flowers fresh from the bosom
of Nature. Flowers are symbolical of
love and devotion and the evergreen
emblematic Of memory which is
cherished in the breast of every true
heart which feels sense of apprecia-
tion for the noble sacrifices made by
forefathers, friends and loved ones in
those days when such terrible destruc-
tion was wrought on our beautiful
southern country.
The work of decorating the graves
was done on Saturday afternoon, and
was in charge of Dixie Chapter L. ID.
&. Those graves inside of the Odd
Fellows cemetery were cleaned off by
the Cemetery Association, who assist
ed in looking after the graves inside
The graves just outside were cared FOL
by the Daughters alone. There wa,
an abundance of beautiful flowers anC
these were placed by loving hands OF
every little mound, whether the occu
pant was known or unknown. 1t wa

First Touch of Autumn.

A wet September Well, this would
be something new under the sun, and
something not very welcome to the
cotton picker. But suns will shine
again, and the hot season will yet re-
assert itself, and the fleecy staple will
be duly gathered and baled.
Still we have had a cooling rain,
and the first intimation that Jack
Frost still lives, and is coming to
break the backbone of a hot and dry
summer. Perhaps we may say that
this has already been accomplished,
and that subsequent hot spells will be
of a dislocated and temporary nature.
A dry picking season is very i'm
portant, and no doubt this will be
furnished by the weather man, but
nevertheless there Will be a touch in
the air, especially after sunfall, that
will remind us of the cool season now
approaching. The Panama hat will be
discarded; the long disused vest will
appear, and all the world and even
the rest Of mankind down this way will
breathe deeper and work all the
harder.
The season of cool weather and re-
newed energy is in sight, and we
should build more houses, make more
plans, and carry on old enterprises to
the greater glory of the district and
state. This is what lower tempera-
ture and more ozone and less caloric
is beginning to say to us. We who
have sweltered, will swelter no more,
and that is why we should strike two
blows hereafter where we have been
striking but one in the heat and dust
of long and distressful summer. Let
the cool breezes come then, and the
mosquito depart, and all get ready to
resume activity under normal condi-
tfons
