An Italian woman, Eusapio Paladino,
who has fooled quite a number of scien-
fists as a spirit medium, has at Last been
exposed as a fraud. Newspaper and
magazine articles in quantities have been
written about her, and the scientists
have agreed that there was something
about her performances that they could
not understand. The really funny part
Of il Is that the scientists admit that
they caught her trying to deceive in
some minor features OF the sitting"
when there was no need of IL, but never
theless they kept their faith in the
reality of her principal manifestations,
though they were nothing more remark
able than could be produced by scores
of "msgicians' who are travelling about
the country. She must be powerful
hypnotist, thus to have Influenced these
men Of cold scientific intellect.

Annual Barbecue at Tie Plant

In response to invitations sent out by
the management of the big plant at
Tie Plant, quite concourse of male
citizens of Grenada and Elliott met with
them on Tuesday of this week to enjoy
theis annual barbecue. A good dinner
was had. The affair was we'll managed.
Besides an excellent Brunswick stew
and an abundance of we'll barbecued
meats, those, who were so inclined, had
the opportunity of partaking of the
contents of many cold bottles. The
gentlemen in charge of the tie plant,
the largest and most important indus
try in the county, are capable, clever
gentlemen and seem imbued with
desire to identify themselves with the
best thought and the best citizenship
of the county.
A large number of them are members
of the Masonic fraternity in Grenada
add they are endeavoring now to build
a church out there all of which goes to
show the character of the men.
The barbecue was a success.

and hearty support of the people of

There will be two new members of the
literary faculty. Miss Mason, who will
teach mathematics, is Mississippian
who graduated from Vanderbilt univer-
sity with the degree of B. S. and later
took her M. A. from the same institu-
ton. Such work needs no commenda-
ton from any body. Her teaching is
highly endorsed. Miss Richardson,
teacher of English, is a graduate of
Randolph Macon Woman's College,
where she was president of the Missip-
pi club, showing her ability and popu-
larity. She has done graduate work in
Tulane university.
Miss Harvey, gifted and success
full teacher, will have charge of vocal
music. Miss Spaulding, who has been
with the college two years, will be
director of the piano department, and
will be ably supported by graduate as
sistants. Miss Kaske will continue her
work in expression, Miss Batenan in
Art, and Miss 'Durbin in Domestic
Economy.
School will open September ID. l
shall be glad to call on anyone desiring
further information.

B. w. Wade, publisher of the Morn
ing Star at Jackson, who was recently
arrested on charge of libel for writing
up and publishing in his paper the mis-
deeds of one of the secret caucus bunch
of legislators that infested the capital
city last winter, was carried to Boone
vile for trial last Friday. Wade ap-
peared in court, and his line of defense
was to prove that the the things pub
lished about Representative White
were true. He had his witnesses pres
ent, and when they were put on the
stand and began to substantiate the
secret caucus legislator was sure of
ferer of bribes, and also a frequent Wis
itor to the red light districts. When
White took the stand himself and at
first denied all the charges, but later he
did offer or assure Representative Ad-
ans of Tishomingo, an appointment to
a $3.50 job if he would change his vote
from Vardaman. but White claims he
was only joking. So the case against
Wade was dismissed by the court and
he returned home free, and will, we
jndge be at liberty to write up more of
the joking bribe givers. A shallow
plea, indeed. If a Vardaman supporter
accepted bribe hbe Bilbo and it went,
