A TRIP AROUND THE WORLD.

No n expects to eclipse the Ia
dies in novel attractions, in planning
the unique or devising plans that will
accomplish a desired end. The ladies
of Grenada have never been known to
fail on anything that they set their
heads to do. Their successes are
measured by altitude. They are to
be congratulated upon "A trip

at the Court House, on the evening OF
| October 9Th, the purpose Of which
vas to Secur funds to erect a monu-
ment to the 18th, Mississippi Regi-
ment. The first floor OF the Court
House, where the "Trip" was to be
had, was very appropriately and taste
fully decorated. The trip was begun
on arrival at a table that represented
the United States where punch was
served. After a smooth and calm sea
voyage, the traveller found himself at
Japan and from thence he went to
China, Russia, Germany, France and
England. From each table dainty re-
freshmentS were served Indicative of
the tastes and character of the peo-
pie represented.
Beautiful and lovely young ladies
arrayed in the colOrS Of the country
they represented, presided at the diff
ferent tables and entertained the tray
eller while he partook of his refresh
mentS and diScourSed upon the en-
chanting scenery. 1t was an We

our noble women in their efforts to
perpetuate the memory Of the heroic
dead.

The Grenada Dry Goods Company
excelled itself and all past records in
the artistic skill and splendid ar
rangement Of the large and beautiful.
stock of millinery and ladies' dress
goods which they exhibited to the
trade at their fall opening on the 18th.
There was no attempt at gaudineSS,
but their large and spacious store was
a gem of neatness, a bouquet of attrac-
tionS and a wreath of the latest work
in millinery art and those things
which please the eye of The ladies and
suit the fancy Of the men. The Ia
dies fiocked in from all quarters and
spent the hours in discussing the ma
nv different styles of hats and the va
ried number of exquisite dress pat
terms which fashion tells US is the
latest"
No detail of the arrangement for
the display had been overlooked and
something of almost of every article
in the store was so placed that the
,observant eye could discern it, thus at
nee picturing before the mind any
thing that desire might suggest to
purchase. There were hundreds or
pretty things, which space forbids our
mentioning. The display reflected
much credit upon the excellent taste
of Mr.. A. T.. Inman, manager, and
Miss Williams, the accomplished lady
who has charge of the millinery this
season.
