TIE PLANT GIVES SPREAD.
Bsrbecued Meats and Plenty Other
Things.

On Thursday, Sept. 13, Mr.. A. C.
Campbell and his other colabers
and assistants at Tie Plant, gave
what has become to be regarded as
their annual festival. 1t was a din
Bogue creek just east of the plant.
There was everything in the spot to
Quicken life, to rehabilitate memories
and to make one renew the joyous
ness of youth and to cause him to
pledge anew the best activities of his
life. Nature is charmer and there
is no trouble to hear his voice if one
will stop, think and listen. There was
an abundance of well-cooked, barbe-
cued meats and there was enough to
have fed twice the number present.
There was the greatest sufficiency of
good bread, Brunswick stew and
pickles, and if the capricious or fas-
tidous minded wanted something to
rejuvenate their spirits or make them
see two men where there was but one,
it was said, that -even that could be
had. Special attention was given
every guest and nothing was left un-
done to make all present enjoy the
dinner. Outside of those present from
Grenada and the plant, there were
several from distance, among them
being Mr. Gresham, the very able
and affable attorney for the Aver &
Lord Tie Company.
To the general manager, Mr..
Smith, and to the manager Of the
plant, Mr.. Campbell, The Sentinel
takes the liberty of extending very
special thanks for all present.

and his accomplishments and con-
quests increase from day to day and

again demonstrated when Mr.. Richard

brother and sister of the groom, Mr..
Volney Mason and Mrs. Josephine
Harris, and the parents of the bride
were present to witness this happy
event in the lives of these young peo-

Mr.. Mason was born and reared
in Grenada county. He comes of one
of the county's best families and is
a young man of exceptional talent,
of fine moral character and of eX-
traordinary worth. He may be relied
upon to do the right and to live
sacredly up to any obligation he as
sumes- He graduated from the law
department of the University in June,
having completed his literary course
previously. He and his bride got to
know each other in the class rooms
and on the campus of the University
and their acquaintance soon ripened
into love. Their plans for marriage

Mr.. Mason had volunteered his ser
vices for his country and in thus con-
senting to hurry up the date of their
union, this fair young woman showed
the genuineness of her love and that
she possessed the elements of the
true woman and the good wife.
The Sentinel tenders best wishes
and congratulations and hopes that
ere long the two may have each other
day by day for companions and that
the richest and sweetest things of
life may be theirs.

THE COLLEGE GIRLS ARE HERE

The Sentinel, speaking for the en-

most attractive set of girls that ever

not mere children, either, but the av-
erage will show that they are more
mature girls than most of those of
past sessions. This is good for the
college and enlarges the opportunity,

meant to be understood that there
are any old maids but that they are

RUSSIAN SCHISMATIC PRELATE
RETURNS TO CHURCH

In the presence of congregation
which overlooked the Ruthenian
Church of St. John the Baptist, Court

October /, impressive ceremonies
marked the restoration to the Catholic
Church of Very Rev. Theophane
Obushkewck, who had been an arch
priest in the Russian Orthodox Church
for some years after having left the
Ruthenan Catholic rite. In the Rus
sian Church he was entitled to wear
the mitre, and he had been the recip-
lent of special honors from the re-
Gently deposed Gar Nicholas. He re,
turned his mitre to the Russian Arch
bishop Alexander in New York recent
ly after deciding to return to the
true Church. He is 76 years Of age.
His return to the Church in which he
was originally ordained was observed
according to the ritual of the Catholic
Church, which requires a public re.
cantation This was received by the
Very Rev. Peter Poniatishin, rector of
st. John the Baptist Church, Newark,
and administrator of the Ruthenian
Greek Catholic Church of the United
States since the death Of the Rt. Rev.
Bishop Ortynsky.
