The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1916-11-10

Mrs. j. T. Thomas entertained
Tuesday afternoon in honor or Mrs.
Edward A. DeMiller, wife of the new
Rector Of the Episcopal church in
Grenada. To state that Mrs. Thomas
e%ntertains means that M of Grena-
da's most delightful social functions
has been enjoyed and on this occas-
ion she was never more felicitous,
while the honoree was her own gra-
cious self. The guests were received
by Mrs. Sam Cain and Miss Let Doak,
while the hostess presented them to
the receiving line which was made up
of the following: Mrs. Edward A.
DeMiller, the honoree, Mrs. r. A.
Tucker, Mrs. ]. C. Carothers, Mrs.
r. W. Jones, Mrs. Anna Clyde Plum
kett, Mrs. ]. T. Mason, Mrs. Cora
George and Miss Robbie Doak. Mrs.
w. L. Strother, always winsome, and
sparkling with the very keenest wit,
led the way from the receiving line
to the dining room where Misses Pau
line Doak and Mary Walker Duncan
did the honors in their own sweet,
inimitable way. The dining table was
beautiful, indeed, being decorated
with cherry lace with a center piece
of pink over rare ferns. Miss Dora
Adams and Mrs. B. C. Adams passed
sandwiches and nuts, while Mrs. L.
L. Hodges assisted in entertaining
the guests. It was particularly
pleasing to see the wives of the other
ministers Of the town in the receiving
line and so interested in presenting
the wife of a new resident minister

charm of Grenada's very lovely
womanhood never shone more re-
splendently than on this occasion and
it was indeed a tribute to the
thoughtfulness and graciousness of
Mrs. Thomas that this fortuitous
function was planned.
Mrs. W. H. Whitaker, Mr.. Whyte
Whitaker and the writer spent last
Friday night in the hospitable home
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Wood, near
Oxberry, preparatory to accompany
ing them and their two sons, Arch
and Kennith. to Black Hawk lake on
Saturday. After an adventurous
trip along the %serpentine paths lead
ing to the lake, the party finally ar
rived. and spent the morning in at
| tempting. with mediocre success, to
coax the bashful perch from their
aquatic home. Squirrels. too. were
| sought-notice the emphasis on the
verb. The products of the rod and
gun. AUGMENTED by the provisions
happily carried along. furnished an
ample and toothsome repast. The
experience of being entertained at
the home of the Wood family is a Joy
in anticipation and revelation in
retrospection.
The writer made a trip to Charles
ton Monday endeavoring to ascertain
the reason why Messrs. Huntingdon,
McElwrath and Senator Blount make
such frequent trips to Charleston.
! However, in respect to Messrs. Huff
fington and McElwrath his trip was
a failure. Their mission still re-
mains a deep ard dark secret. How
ever, he was lucky enough to locate
the attraction for Senator Blount,
and it is sufficient to say that Mr..
Blount is to be congratulated and not
censored. The Sentinel has nothing
but the very best of wishes for him,
and trust that it will not be long be-
fore something definite can be an
nounced in these columns.
The Ladies' Aid Society of the
First Baptist church wish to
