at the Grenada College. On last Sat.
urday evening Misses Laney, Russell,

effort to wear away the laurel wreath.
Miss Williams gave a toast that dis
played great poetic power for pictur-

the individual bent of each pupil.
President Clifton and his wife were
invited guests. Mr.. Clifton was
asked to respond to the toast, "The
Senior Class" To this toast a senior

finished, the young lady had decided
that nothing had been said to reply
to,-and then she had been taught
not to talk back to her parents and
teachers.

A Good Long Record.

Don't judge of men by the money
they owe, but by their keen sense of
debt and the promptness with which
they meet their obligations. Some
men who are only worth. a few thous-
and dollars, pay their debts the day
they are due, and there is more salts
faction in t~ranSacting business with
them, than others worth hundreds of
thousands OF dollars, who are slow
pay. This is true Of corporations also.
1t is therefore as safe to do business
with The Mississippi Home Insurance
Company, as with one that has many
millions, because it has a twenty
years record Of prompt payments.
