SentiGel:-
should like to preach short SER
mon to our people OF Grenada, on
neglected opportunities. According
to the ecclesiastical calendar, this is
the Epiphany season and l have ueen
preaching in my church sermons on
the Epiphany, or manifestations Of
ourselves in the ''groaning creation"
as the sons Of God, by showing the
world the advantage If being a
Christian in deeds and works.
Now we have here in Grenada
community OF good people, The So
cial life Of the town is good. The
public school is excellent. the Gren-
ada Female College is unsurpassed in
the state. HeSter's school for boys is
high grade school in tone. aSsocia-
tiOn and education. So our educa-
tional facilities are Of the lest.
Our religious needs are administer
ed to by Episcopal, Presbyterian,
Methodist and Baptist churches, all
with good membership, beautiful and
we'll kept buildings and ably filled
pulpits.
Our Ethical side is guarded by
KNIGHTS Templar chapter and Blue
Lodge MaSOnS, Knights Of PythiaS,
Odd Fellows and WOodmen Of the
World LODGES.
The hest and leading insurance in
Stitutions have homes here. There
are successful banks, miles and miles
of concrete walks. 1t is city Of
beautiful homes and large hearted
people.
Our physicians, lawyers, dentists
aud professional men rank high in
their profession. The growth Of the
community has been solid and sure,
and without boom or advertising Of
any kind.
We are within easy reach of both
Memphis and New Orleans markets
and our immediate surrounding terri
tory is splendidly adapted to small
farming and market gardening. We
are at the junction Of two lines Of the
I. z. E. r reaching both the east
ern and western markets at New
York or Chicago.
Altogether, Grenada is one Of the
| best business and residence locations
in the state. Its geographical loca-
tion makes it naturally a health
point. Now we know these things
of course, but the outside world does
not, and the outside world ouyht to.
If we could have SO~e literature cir
culated, do some evangeliZing and ad-
vertiSing, there are plenty Of people
who would come here and make this
home, and add their efforts to ours
for Grenada. Let US get together
Let every man wear on the lapel Of
his coat buttLn inscribed "Grenada
ask me obout it," Let the mer-
chant, business men and others who
have correspondence abroad, enclose
in their envelopes folder describing
our advantages. Let US issue some
road bonds and build at least four
good roads leading from the four
points of the compass to our city.
Let US have standing in the Sunday
edition of the Commercial Appeal at
least quarter of column ad boost
ing Grenada, and run this for at least
d yCdls ACU no III Jul lOSdI
paper the same, as it would reach the
Immediately surrounding country.
Let US call a public spirited mass
meeting Of our citizens and have
some speech making by men who
know our StrOng possibilities. Let US
invite factories and enterprises and
give them inducements to come. We
have plenty to offer Let's do it. We
can boost Grenada effectively if we
will, and enhance the values of our
realty by Increased population and
demand and find more work fer our
citizens and mechanics in the build
ing of new structures, and in few
years have Grenada what it out to be,
the largest city in north Mississippi.
We are neglecting golden opportun-
ity now. Let Us wake up and get
busy.
Yours for Grenada,
IRENAEUS TROUT.
