The Graduates Annual Address BY

Some Business Facts.

The annual commencement exercises
of Grenada Collide, which is always ar
important event in Grenada and one
that is anticiated with no small degree
of pleasure, came to a conclusion Tues
day. The session just ended has been
n of the most satisfactory and pros
porous years in the history of the COL
lege. This school is now considered the
leading school for young women in
North Mississippi.
The annual concert last Friday even
ing was a two-hour program given by
students of the expression, music and
voice departments of the college, after
which.the Art Department presented
specimens of the work done during
the year. Delightful punch was served
to the guests.

for cOurtesies and attentions while
there. These distinguished gentlemen
left nothing undone to make our stay
exceedingly pleasant. They anticipated
our every want and were indeed gra-
cious and obliging in all that they did.
We heard Mr.. Sisson make a short ad-
dress in the House and, by the way,
our Mississippi delegation ip Congress
is regarded as among the leaders at
Washington. These Congressman call
each other by their given names and
they are so informal about everything
that M is soon made to feel that he is
in congenial atmosphere.
We are divulging no secret in stating
that John Sharp Williams is regarded
at Washington as one OF the great men
of the country and as one of the lead
ers in the United States Senate.
We boarded a through train Monday
night on the Southern railroad out of
Washington for home via of Jackson.
We found ourselves Tuesday morning
at the beautiful city of Roanoke, Va.
This city is at the gateway to the great
Shenandoah valley and is noted for its
breezes even in the sultry days of sum-
mer. Our train swept throughout the
day along valleys, around the mountain
Dases and across creeks and rivers.
Nature was at her best in shaping this
section of u country and there is ev-
e:rything to please the eye and fire the
imagination.
Sunset found US at Chattanooga
where our train stopped perhaps for
twenty minutes and naturally we made
AL possible inquiry about Lookout
Mountain whose towering heights
showed many marble shafts and monu.
ments in the sunset glow. Here it was
that n of the great battles of the
Civil War was fought and in marking
the graves of the Confederate and the
Union forces the National Commission
showed no distinction. Chattanooga is
a charming city and has a peculiar fas-
cinatiOn for all tourists. Daylight
found US the next morning midway be-
tween Meridian and Jackson and we
confess that we were more than glad
to again touch the soil of old Missis-
sippi, the grandest of all the grand
commonwealths of the Uniou.
lost no opportunity to make inquiry
about National affairs and especially
the attitude of the people towards the
administration of President Wilson and
was gratified to find that the sober,
better thought almost everywhere en-
dorsed the Presidents course in regard
to the European situation, and as to
Mexico. Nobody seemed to be in a
fault finding spirit with Mr.. Wilson.
Republican sentiment in the states
visited, outside of perhaps Kansas, is
undoubtedly for Roosevelt but | am of
the opinion that those who swindled
him out of the Republican nomination
at Chicago in 1912 will succeed il tore
ing the nomination of some n else
this time.
Our trip took us into fourteen states
and We also put our feet upon soil in
the Province of Toronto, Canada.

greater length but time forbids. We are
