GORE SPRINGS CON.
SOLIDATED SCHOOL CLOSES
ITS 19l7.'1e TERM

Friday night, the 18th of April,
the people Of Gore Springs saw the
closing exercises of the firs. term
CT their new consolidated school. The
weather was ideal and the ;prcgrapa
was well rendered by the local talent
OF the school. People from various
parts OF Grenada and adjoining coun-
ties were present, which gave energy
and enthusiasm to the occasion. The
auditor1um was crowded to suffeca-
ton and many people were unable to
gain entrance at all. Between seven
and eight hundred people were actu-
ally counted. There were sixty-two
automobiles, besides numerous other
conveyahces which covered the entire
campus.
Through the kindness of Messrs.
keeton and Laning of Grenada, the
school building was lighted with Del
CO lights, which was another attfac-
tion added to the concert.
A feeling of pleasantness existed
among everybody, and the whole af-
fair was gladly given to a very re-
ceptive audience. 81 4
The people are proud of their
school and they appreciate the rec
ord OF its first term. They realize
fully that a real school can be had
III any real good rural district, and
they are ready to help make next
session even better than this one has
been.

SCOUTS HIKE TO GREENWOOD

The Boy Scouts of Grenada went
on a sure enough hike last Friday
morning. They left Grenada at a
very early hour down the Y. NJ. ".
rail road with Parsons in mind as
the hrst stopping place. Parsons was
the first goal to be reached because
Master Walter Crump had made
known to his fellows that his ever
thoughtful and obliging parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Walter Crump, had arrang-
ed to have the Scouts barbecued kid
and other good things to go with it
for dinner. They reached Parsons at
aobut o'clock and remained there
until about dark. Rev. E. A. De-
Miller, Rector of All Saints Episcopal
Church, was Scout Master and, had
majority of the boys not voted to
proceed on to Greenwood that night,
they would have stayed at Parsons,
but when once on the way to Green
wood, Mr.. DeMiller very properly
said, Boys, you have voted to 20 to
Greenwood, now let's do what you
said" So they reached Greenwood
at an early hour Saturday morning
pretty well worn and tagged. Some
of the boys came back on the first
train that morning and some remain
ed over until that night. While in
Greenwood those who remained were
the recipients of many courtesies
from the local Scouts and greatly en-
ioyed the day. The boys state that
they cannot too strongly express them
selves as to the many courtesies ex-
tended them by Mr.. and Mrs. Crump
and their lovely daughters.
The Sentinel feels that it is ex-
pressing the wish of the community
in expressing appreciation of the fact
that Mr.. DeMiller has undertaken this
somewhat trying yet very necessary
duty for the Scouts.

WAR-ATTlTUDE QUESTIONED

A lady, Mrs. L. Seph Hill, was in
Grenada for several days last week.
She had letters Of endorsement frem
come prominent Tennessee citizens
but in view of the fact that many be-
lieved that she was confining her
activities too largely to the colored
population, many questioned her at
titude on the war. The publication
she seemed to be specially stressing
was the Dixie Magazine which was
published at Jackson, Tenn. Some
citizens of Grenada felt more than
ordinary concern about Mrs. Hin's
mission, SO one of them wrote the
mayor of jackson, Tenn. inquiring
about her and also wrote the Secret
Service department in Memphis. II
seems that the attention of the Sc-
cret Service department had been di.
rected to her before but investigation
showed, as the letter stated, that il
was believed Mrs. Hill was patriot.

simply engaged in the work she was
doing in order to earn a livelihood

Chaplain of Head
quarters Company
Makes Address in Grenada. Pre-
sents Letter From Grenada Boys
and Says That the Mississippi Sol
diers Are Excelled by None. Boys
Ready For the Test.

Dr.. Zeno Wall, until recently Chap
lain at Camp Beaureguard of the
Headquarters Company, 140th F. A.
was in Grenada Tuesday night and
after the conclusion of the preaching
services at the Methodist Church, he
made highly thrilling address of
about thirty minutes in which he
touched the emotions, the patriotism
and almost every noble endeavor of
his hearers. He brought a message
from the Headquarters Company, the
Grenada boys, which he read and
which appears below. He paid a fine
tribute to the boys who went out
from Grenada and to the splendor of
manhood, the fiXedness Of purpose
and the soldier spirit in general Of
all the Mississippi boys gathered at
Camp Beaureguard. He said they
We're equal to the best in every way
and excelled by none and that they
felt that they had been called to do
not only a great service in defense
of their own country but one for hu-
manity and that they were ready for
the test, what ever it might be. DR..
Wallis address could not but make
every parent, brother and sister feel
better about those who had gone out
from their household to bare their
bodies in defense of all that is near
and dear to the American heart. DR..
Wall told of his associations with the
boys in many phases of camp life and
how he had minisetered to them in
sickness and watched at their bed
side at night time-none but those of
Christ-like spirit could have done
what he has done. He assured his
hearers that the Government was ov-
erlooking nothing for the welfare and
comfort of the boys and that while
looking after every physical need the
government was also giving every at
tention to the spiritual demands of
the boys and he said that he felt
sure that they would come back even
better boys than when they went
away.
DR.. Wall could not pass the medi-
cal test to go with the boys TO France
hence was only recently compelled to
give up the chaplaincy of the regi-
ment, however, he has since been de-
tailed to do Y. M. c. A. work and will
be with the boys at least until taey
go across the sea. A committee was
named to draft letter to the Head
