WAS MOST CENER.
OUSLfENTERT

Miss Roberta Dubard was the re-
cipient of many attentions by her
girlhood friends the week Of her mar
riage. The thought of breaking home
ties which Enger in the mind of ev-
cry hride-tp-be, could hardly have
been spent more pleasantly by this
lovely young woman.
On Tuesday afternoon, May ID,
Mrs. N. 3. Carothers and her sister,
Miss Annie Dudley Gibbs, entertain
ed In honor of Miss Dubard. Every
thing was exquisitelv arranged for
the occasion. Friends Of the bride-to-
be never forgot the rnany dainties in
the way of linen and other things SO
quickly in demand by a new matron.
There were a number of unique fea-
lures of the affair. 1t was indeed T.
gay party and much girlhood levity
made the hour speed all too quickly
by.
On Wednesday evening the two
sisters Of the bride-yO-be, entertained
jointly at their laaely home at I,u-
bard with a six O'Clock dinner When
it is known that these two matrDns
undertake anything, it is at once 'un-
derstood that excellence as we'll as
appr opriateness and beauty are so be
the standerds. The dinner we'll be-
fit the occasion and never did hap

On Wednesday evening after the
rehearsal at the church, the brother
and sister of MISS Dubard, Mr.. and
Mrs. B. J. Anderson, entertained the
Allen-Dubard bridal party. Mrs. An
dHson never makes a medium sue
cess of anything. She showed her
self a queenly hostess and did the
hunor for her sister, so soon tn be
a bride, in such gracious way as to
leave the very sweetest memories with
all. After the guests looked Though

THE PLACE TO ATTEND
SUMMER SCHOOL
Georeg Peabody College UnequaEed
in the South.

Elsewhere in this issue of The Sent
mel appears an advertisement of the
George Peabody College of Nash
vile for teachers. The school is all
that its name signifies. George Pea
body, as is generally known, was one
of the phifanthropists Of the country
and gave generously towards educa-
ton. The South shared literally in
his donations. There is a building
at the University of Mississippi which
bears his name and which was erect
ed out of funds provided by his ex-
ecutors. Mississippi has her sum-
mer normals but they do not give
the class of work that is given at the
Peabody College. The very finest
equipment is had there. The very
ablest instructors are provided and
the colleges and universities every
where allow full credit for the work
done at Peabody College. Nashville
and surrounding territory contains
much that is historic and considering
the fact the cost is small, there could
not be better place for Mississippi
teachers and those trying to reach !
the maximum, in their education to
GO. The first term begins June IS.
Write for booklet telling of the sum-
mer work.

1.-THE RICH &1AN'S WAR;" &c.

| Quite a number of our people went
to Sherman Sunday afternoon to hear
Panl Rainey, who is making speeches
all over North Mississippi in the in
terest of the Red Cross. Mr.. Rainey,
as all understand, is a millionaire,
vet he volunteered his services and
went over IN command of firEt Red
Cross unit. He has been right in the
war zone, at the front, over the top,
over Belgium since its devastation
by the Huns and is going back TOO,
he says. He mentions, others, as
wealthy as he, who are lover there"
in the trenches, in the ambulance
corps, driving trucks, ETC., and yet
with all this, there are still people all
over this country who cry "rich mans
war and po' mans fight" Just to
bring it a little closer home, the ed
itor has a letter from his son now
at Camp Pike, in which he says: 81
am taking my turn in the kitchen this
week, side by side with millionaire's
son. washing dishes and both having
a good time" We mention this in
connection with Mr.. Rainey's state
ment in order to help refute the
charge made by pacifsts and pro-
German propagandists that the poor
boys are not getting a square deal.
Mr.. Rainey has no flow CT oratory,
nor bursts of eloquence; he simply
deals in plain spoken facts from his
own personal experience, presented
in a manner that holds the closest at |
tention of his audience from start to j
finish.

War Came to America"
The musicaT number by Miss Ed.
ma Jones was indeed pleasing and she
showed that she had given consider
able thought and time in preparing
for this the most impressive OCCASION
in her young life.
Miss Margaret Moody, as the salu-
tatorian of the class in her "The Coun
try's Call; The Heroes Answer, met
with round after round of merited ap-
plause.
The valedictorian, Miss Edna Hor-
ton, in her reading, "The Ideal Pa
triot', showed that her heart and SOU
was with her country and her every
word voiced her true sentiments.
Misses Horton and Moody have all
the year been rivals for the honors of
this years class and while the honors
go to Miss Horton the difference be-
between the averages of the two is in
festes1mal and their grades show that
they both have been close students
the entire session and that they are
both deserving Of much praise.
Miss Estes Calhoun, who sang s1n
the Dark, In the Dew, possesses a
rare sweet voice and her number was
we'll received indeed. She was &C.
cGmpanied on the piano by Miss Eu-
nice Jones.
The annual address was delivered
by Hon. ". NJ. Wilmington OF the
Greenwood bar. He spake most force
fully and his remarks had the pro-
found attention of his hearers and
his assertions carried force and con.
vlctlon. No doubt the graduates will
carry with them in after years tie
the DEMENT'S derived from MIR. Whit
tlngton's remarks on this occasion.
Dr. j. z. Broadstreet, secretary of
the Board of Trustees, presented the
diplomas to the graduates and while
the Doctor makes no pretense OF be-
ing an orator, his words were well
chosen and no doubt will result in
benef1t to those whom NE addressed.
The class this year is composed of
the following young 1ssdies and gen
tiemen: Messrs John Thomas, Will

DELIVERS SERMON

Rev. T. M. Brownlee delivered the
commencement sermon to the twenty
two graduates of the Grenada High
School at the Methodist church last
Sunday morning. 1t is not saying
too much to state that the sermon was
indeed appropriate and one of the
best commencement sermons ever de-
Gvered in the Methodist church, and
some very great ones have been de-
livered there. Mr. Brownlee is one
of the coming ministers Of his
church. While he is man of the
deepest piety, he is. also a practical
man and knows how to deal with the
everyday problems of life.

Edward Mcneil, son of Minus Nc
Neil. of Grenada died at Camp Pike
on May 18. Ed was a good negro
and was well thought of by the white
people. The first lieutenant in writ

Mcneil was an excellent soldier who
was universally liked by his officers
and fellow soldiers and his untimely
death is source of genuine sorrow
to all. His death occurred in line of
duty and was not the result of his
own misconduct and is no less hon.
