MAY MAKE SAND BRICK HERE
Company Now Being Organized
For That Purpose.
CAPACITY OF THE PLANT 10000 PER DAY
rleeting Will Be Held at Early Date to
Perfect Final Arrangements.
Much of the Stock Taken.

The prospects for another impOr-
tant industry for Grenada are, indeed,
bright. For some time past the erec-
tion of plant for the manufacture Of
sand brick has been under cOnSidera-
tion, and it is now believed that the
project will reach successful conSum-
maUion. On Monday afternoon num-
Der of directors and shareholders in
the Grenada Cotton Oil company, in
conjunction with whose mills tits pro-
posed to operate the plant, held q
meeting at the council chamber for
the purpose of discussing the under
taking, and it was then practically de-
cided to proceed with the project.
MeSSrS. John B. Perry, manager for
the Grenada Cotton Oil company, and
W. +. Martin, manager Of the Grena-
da Compress company, had visited
Birmingham, Ala, where a plant Of
this character is in successful opera
tiOn, on trip of investigation, and
they highly recommended the process
and the manufactured article.
The brick which the proposed new
concern cOntemplates making is COM
posed of from "a to 90 per cent sand
and from to per cent lime. This
is moiStened, and after being thorough
ly mixed is nodded in presses under a
pressure of approximately eight tons,
from which machines the brick goes
to the hardening cylinder, where they
remain for eight hours under steam
pressure of 125 pounds. 1t is possible
by this modern process of brick-mak-
ing to produce the finest quality OF
brick ready for the mason within
twenty-four hours.
1t is proposed to manufacture twen-
ty thousand brick per day, which would
require one mixing machine, two press
es and two hardening cylinders. A
plant of this capacity would give en-
ployment to about fifteen workmen,
and would neceSSitate an investment
of $4,000 At the meeting on Monday
So. 700 was subscribed, and that amount
has been very materially augmented.
Another meeting of those interested
will be held in the near future, prob
ably next week, when definite action
will be taken.

If the intelligence of a community
is judged by its educational institu-

With its numerous institutions Of
learning, both public and private, the
municipality is rapidly assuming an
enyiable reputation as an educational
center, its advantageous geographical
position; its splendid transportation
facilities; its healthful climate; its
sparkling artesian well water; its high
standard Of citizenship, and the purity
of its social atmosphere, all having d
tendency to promote this reputation
and herald its name and fame through
out the length and breadth of the

GRAND MINSTREL PERFORMANCE.
Gigantic Aggregation Booked TO Appear
in Grenada Early in June.

A StupendOuS and unparalleled ag-
gregation of. celebrated and world re-
nOwned burnt-cOrk artists from the
four corners of this glObular wad is
now being assembled in Grenada at
enormous expense for the purpose Of
appearing before the crowned heads,
and bald heads, of this immediate vi
cinity in the not very dim vista of the
future. The performance will, un-
queStionably, excel any entertain
ment of a similar character ever before
attempted in the South, and the
management confidently believes that
the gigantic undertaking will draw
like porous plaster. A gorgeous array
Of glittering costumes, including many
priceless robes imported from HOl-
comb especially for this occasion, will
be a Strikingly effective feature, and
are intended not only to excite the
wonderment and admiration Of the
assembled multitude, but also to pro-
vide employment for the optician. A
street pageant is under contemplation,
and arrangements therefor will be
| perfected, provided the municipal au-
thorities can be induced to lengthen
some of the principal thOroughfareS
in order to give the procession Suffi-
cient space to form in an unbrOken
column. For this, oriental costumes
are now being procured direct from
Lao Yang, Major General Liichi hav-
ing induced the High Muck-a- Muck Of
the empire to loan precious garments,
used for more than one hundred years,
for this auspicious occasion. A band,
supplied with golden instruments Of
every known kind, win lead the gor-
geously bedecked procession, which
will move with military precision.
At this stage of the game details
are lacking, but it is known that Mon
Sier II. G.. LIE Onard, whose reputation
in the minstrel world is flawleSS, will
act as interlOcuter; that Herr Neil
Ca ROthers is promoting the gigantic
enterprise, and that the entertain
ment will be given in June.

MAJOR THOMAS SPLENDID RECORD.
Twenty-Five Consecutive Years Master OF
Exchequer Of the Knights of Pythias.

Major B. T. Thomas, proprietor of
the Grenada Hotel, and who enjoys the
enviable reputation of being one Of the
foremost hotel men in Mississippi, has
just been honored by the state grand
lodge of Knights of PythiaS by a re-
election to the responsible office Of
Master of EXchequer, position which
he has held for twenty-five cOnSecu-
tive years. And the fact that the
Majors election to this place of trust
has been by acclamation through this
quarter century of Office-hOlding adds
very materially to the honor, and
proves cOncluSively that the high COM
pliment is wOrthily bestowed. Major
Thomas. who, by the way, is native
of Grenada and one of her most popu-
lar and substantial citizens, is a
staunch Pythian, and firmly believes
in and closely adheres tc the cardinal
principles upon which the order is
founded, the honest and conscientious
exemplificatiOn of which makes men
better for being one of that great
fraternal brotherhood.

accompanying his parents to BrurS-
wick, Tenn, and SO serious was his
ailment when Memphis was reached
that it was deemed advisable to dis
continue the journey until he had re-
covered. Skilled medical aid was sum-
moned, but to no avail, death coming
q week later.
The body arrived in Grenada ON
Sunday, accompanied by the bereayed
parents and aunt, Miss Griffin of
Brunswick, and the funeral was held
from the family residence that after
noon, the Rev. B. p. JacO, pastor Of
the Methodist church, officiating. The
remains were buried in Odd Fellows
cemetery.
The passing away of this young life
is sad and pathetic, the ruthless hand
of the Grim Reaper robbing happy

poignant sorrow the hearts Of fond and
loving parents.

school whose work is far reaching, and
one whose practical methods of train

the Grenada Business College. located
in new and cOmmodiOuS rooms over
the Cotton Exchange, where il Occu-
pies a floor space Of nearly three thOuS-
and square feet, and where may be
seen an equipment that includes every
thing known to the modern, up-tO-
date business school.
This well known institution was
established here January /, 1900, and
to say that it has attained remark
able degree OF success would be no eX-
aggeratiOn Of obtaining conditions.
From comparatively small Begin
ming, it has long since cast off it's
swaddling garments and today is en-
joying d strong, healthy growth, hav-
ing at this time more than one hun
dred students who attend the school
or are taught by mail. In an inter-
view with President ]. Il. Thomas,
who is also business manager for the
school, that genial gentleman told d
representative of The Sentinel that
during the three years the aggregate
enrolment of the Grenada Business
College was $40, more than one-half
OF which was crowded into the last
twelvemOnthS of that period. 1t is
carefully estimated that through the
instrumentality of this institution
something over $52, 500 were brought
to and expended in Grenada in the
first thirty-siX months of it's existence,
which statement simply shows that
this enterprise is of no inconSiderable
benefit to the community as whole
from a financial standpoint. Four
teachers of experience and unquestion-
ed ability are regularly employed, be-
sides which are the principal and two
stenOgraphers, the latter being almost
constantly engaged in handling the
correspondence for the school, which
is ever increasing.
On entering the building the visitor
is Immediately impressed with the
general activity of the place, it ap-
pearing like veritable hive of indus
try. Passing the office, where Presi-
dent Thomas and his corps of assis-
tantS are caring for the business inter

typewriting department and finds a
long row of machines operated by
young men and women who are gaining
proficiency in this art, If such it may
be termed.
Advancing one enters the bookkeep-
ing department, a commodiouS apart

conveniences, and equipped especially
for this class of work. This depart

elementary branches, without which

response from the entire Southland
will be the answer to the call.
