The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1915-08-27

One OF the most prominent and i'm
portant gatherings that has assembled
in Grenada for years is being arranged
for on Saturday, September 4, and that
is the Mississippi Travellers Associa-
ton. This association has a member
ship of approximately 2000 and at least
one-fourth of this number are expected
to be at the Grenada meeting. The To-
cal members of the association, about
| Is in number, met last Saturday and
perfected arrangements for the recep-
| tion and the entertainments of the meet
ing. One of the chief matters ar
ranged for was barbecue to be given
at Spring Lake Club The whole town
is looking forward to this meeting with
no little interest. 1t is generally ac-
cepted as true that there are no more
loyal. big hearted, wide awake set OF
men than the drummers, class whose
business it is to look for the stars and
to disslpate the blues. and it is felt in
entertaining them Grenada will have
laid at her door the finest opportunity
for advertising that has been given her
for years. The drummer is at home
with almost anybody and he is fine
business barometer. The Sentinel be-
speaks for the local travelling frater-.
nifty the active aid and cooperation of
the town in arranging for this import
ant gathering and feels sure that moth
ing will be lacking to please those who
, come and to make the gathering safis-
factory in every detail,
