LISHED 10 TAKE CARE:
OF OVERFLOW.

Grenada College opened Nednes-
day morning There were quite a
numb Der present from distance who
came with their daughters. A repre-
sentative audience from the town
was present to show the towns inter-
ests in the College. Besides DR..
COuntiss and the head of the depart
ment of music, the new expression

stage, so also were Revs. j. B. Quin,
pastor of the First Baptist church,
j. H. Felts, presiding elder, R. A.
Tucker, pastor of the Methodist
church and H. NJ. Brownlee, financial
agent for the College. The exer-
cises were begun by singing "Ameri-
ca" after which Mr. Tucker read
Scripture lesson from the first chap
ter of Proverbs and Mr.. Quin lead in
prayer. The new expression teacher
then gave a reading which was highly
appreciated and at once established
her in the esteem and confidence of
her associates and the friends of the
institution. The new voice teacher
sang and she, too, won all hearts Her
voice is exceptionally fine and there
were no few compliments paid her.
so many remarking, "could under
stand so well the words of the song
what she was singing"
Presiding Elder Felts made an
exceptionally appropriate address ard
one that appealed alike to Grenada
and indeed North Mississippi as well
as to the student body for loyalty and
cooperation. Mr.. Felts did some
plain talk but through it all there
was the spirit of encouragement and
of felicitation over the great work
the College is doing and the over
flow of students for the present ses-
sion.
President Countiss followed with
some pointed statements about the
work for the year most of which was
directed to the students. In his op-
enin" remarks Mr.. Countiss gave a
list of the new faculty and from
whence they came as we'll as the ex-
perienced heretofore erjoyed by them
The new members of the faculty
come with the very finest records be-
hind them.
After these exercises, the audience
was asked to repair to the Campus
and take part in breaking the ground
for the new dOrmitory.
The new dormitory has been con-
tracted for but owing to the war,
much delay may be expected in it's

finest college dormitories in the
South. There will be bath room
with tile floor for every one Of the
so rooms and then the auditorium
will seat 500 people.
Grenada College is Grenada's best
asset. The school has been better
than mint to Grenada because there
are things more highly important
and lasting than grinding out dollars
The school has been worth much to
The state. The $50 boarders pre-
sent at the opening is splendid
