,aThese additional notes would be ex-
actly the same In form and in all re-
speefs as those now issued. In fact, the
change should be merely the increase
of the permission, so that a bank might
issue one and one-half times the par value
of the bonds deposited. the maximum

now, equal to the capital stock Of the

long the slope Of n mountain, which
is in the eastern part of the city.
There is probably not a town of any
size in the country from which some
one has not gone to seek life and health
at this resort-and nearly all of. the
seekers are benefited. A peculiar
fact is that the larger springs send
forth the warmest water, the temper
allure being as high as 157 degrees
Fahrenheit. The daily capacity Of
these springs is estimated at about
1000, 900 gallons.
On Tuesday morning the members
OF the Association, several hundred
strong, including editors, their wives,
daughters and sisters and many other
lady contributors to the press, arrived
from st. Louis in trains of Pullmans
over the Iron Mountain railroad.
The members were entertained in St.
Louis by the Worlds Fair manage
ment and given a view of the work
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1902-04-26

dresses of welcome were made by
prominent citizens, which were res
pended to by members. Each day OF
the meeting the citizens provided
tallyhos, carriages and other vehicles
and carried the visitors up on the
mountain road and over the city.
About one-third were carried each
day, so that everybody had this de-
lightful pleasure before leaving. This
was one of the treats Of the trip.
The magnificent mountain roadway,
which passes nearly every point of in
terest, was constructed by the govern
ment, which has spent more money
here than at any other n point in
the country, except at Washington,
in identifying the scenery. The drive
was one of the most enjoyable features
of the entertainment by the hosts.
They also had a most excellent horse
show in progress and the visitors were
carried to this.
On Friday evening at the Eastman
hotel an elaborate banquet was served.
About eight hundred overs were laid
and the function was a success in every
detail. The decorations were unique
and beautiful and the entire affair
was thoroughly enjoyed. The entire
stay in the great resort in the Ozarks
was a continual round of pleasure. A
large number Of the party stayed over
until Monday. The writer left Satur-
day, arriving at home Sunday. A por-
ton of the members, upon arriving in
st. Louis went to Charleston, S. c.,
where they took in the Exposition
now in progress. The Mississippi del
egation was a creditable me-, and waS
ia jolly, c%ongenial set. In a sub
sequent issue of the SENTINEL we will
have more to say in regard to the city
of Hot Springs, its wonderful life-giv-
ing waters, and the railroads which
were SO courteous in their treatment.
Justice could not be done them in
this issue.
Every member of the reception
committees, from the various organ
izations of citizens, did his utmost
to add to the pleasure of the visitors.
They were never too busy to show
the little courtesies which make such

The citizens Of the hustling and en-
terprising city fairly outdid them
selves in their hospitality. They
proved to be admirable hosts, and i'm
pressed every one Of their guests as
being proud of the honor of having in
their borders such a distinguished and
important body Of men. A part of
each day vas devoted to business af-
fairs Of the association. A most i'm
portant program had been prepared
and some entertaining discussions of
practical questions were given. These
questions %pertained to the very life of
the newspaper business and were led
by men of recognized ability.

ton on Tuesday morning several ad

The association adjourned to meet
next year at Omaha. Nebraska.
Very numerous were the inquiries
made to the writer by members con-
corning Grenada and her people.
They remember with great pleasure
the time they stopped off here and
were SO royalty entertained by our
citizens about two years ago. This
town made a great hit with the men,
bers when they did this, and the SEN
timent is general that no small place
ever did SO much for the Association
In so short a time.
