that has long been looked forward to
by many earnest promoters of the city,
There will be two carriers. They will
make every part of the town twice a
day and the business district after ev-
cry train. Those who have not num-
bered their residences or their business
houses will not be visited by the carri-
ers. Let the citizens of the town CO.
operate with Postmaster Miller in get
ting the work in order
Of course there may be expected to
be. errors at first, but in short while
Grenada may expect to have the most
I perfect and the most satisfactory de-
livery of mail. The postal receipts of
the local Office are away ahead at this
ii of any previous year in the his
tory of the office. Mr.. Miller, the ac-
commodating postmaster, is doing all
in his power to push Grenada and to
give the patrons of the office the best
of service. He has corps of the mos.
capable deputies, who can be depended
upon to do the right thing at the right
time
No doubt large number of business
men will retain their boxes at the of
flee even after the installation of th'
general delivery.

In MemOriam.

Mrs. Oscar Farrell of Grenada died
at her fathers home in Winona on
Sunday, Feb. 10. She was sufferer
of the white plague and sought relief
at Asheville, N. c., but it was to no
avail. She had come back to Grenada
and only a few weeks before her death
she was removed to Winona to be with
her father, Mr.. Mortimer.
All that loving and affectionate hus-
band could do, was done. Finally the
peaceful hour came her spirit took it's
flight to her God, in whom she richly
confided.
She was an extract of the noblest
character. She was as cheerful during
all her sickness as a sunbeam. The
promises of God were as sweet to her
as honey drops and as precious as
heaven. Never can forget her atti-
tude toward the Kingdom of God and
her vital relation with it, as she lin
gered and suffered. She lived in thu
faith and so died in the faith. She wa
q member of the Methodist church a
Winona and was laid away in the Scot
land graveyard to await the resurrec
ton of her body. May the God of al
grace comfort the loved ones: devo
ted husband. a dear little boy and low
ing parents and sisters and brothers
who mourn her untimely going. c..

The second democratic primary, to
conclude the nomination of city officers
to be voted for at the general election
in May, was held last Saturday, Feb.
II. There We're but two Offices TO be
decided in the run-off, that of marshal
and one of'the aldermen for the city at
large. Claud Hall was candidate for
reelection and was led by A. Gerard in
the first primary by % votes. The COM
bined vote of Gerard and Richardson in
the first primary exceeded Halls vote
by II. In the second primary Hall
lovercame that adverse vote and led
Gerard by 43 votes. The contest was
spirited and both candidates were busy
throughout the week. The contest was
carried to finish in the best of humor
and all readily acquiesced in the result.
Mr.. Gerard's friends have every reason
to be proud of the race he made. He
is very much gratified at the interest
of his friends and at the showing made.
Mr.. Halls friends were evidently not
aroused to the situation in the first pr-
mary. When the vote was announced,
they saw that it was ''up to them to
do something, and the vote in the last
primary shows that they did it.
