WILL CONSIDER BONDS FOR
SCHOOL AT SPECIAL MEETING
Council Names Committee Confer With Trustees OF School
IN the Matter High School Buldns-Some Dis
cusous on High Cost of Material Necessity of Building

The petition published in these col
umns last week praying the City
Council to order an election for not
less than $125, 100000 in bonds for
the purpose of erecting a high school
building and doing other needed work
on the public school property of Gre
NADIA, was before the Council on Mon
day night. Mayor Brown was out OF
town so Mayor protein, J. w. Vance,
presided. Three of the city school
trustees, Messrs. Trusty, Lockett and
Perry were present to urge the mat
ter on the attention of the Council.
Mr.. w. S. P. Doty, the nominee for
Mayor and virtually the mayor-elect,
was present to urge the wisdom of de-
ferring the matter until there shall
be decline in prices of all building
material and a cessation of PRO
fiteering" in general. Mr.. Doty
thought that home built for the
superintendent to cost $4,000 could
be used this year for the overflow
and next year, or later, as residence
for the superintendent. Mr.. Doty
presented some figures as to enroll
ment which indicated that he takes
issue with the school men and the
trustees who say that another build
ing is imperative just now. City at
torney, Cowles Horton, advised the
Council that should an election be
held and the bonds carry, bond at
torneys in Chicago would most likely
be called to pass upon the bonds and
he therefore advised that action be
deferred for at least a few days un-
til the Council could personally in
spect the present school building and
be able to say that the new building
is necessity. Thereupon a commit
tee consisting of Messrs. Claud Hall,
R. Pressgrove and T. E. Heath was
named to confer with the school trus-
tees and personally go over the pres
ent buildings and report back to the
Council 1t is understood that as
soon as this conference is held that
a special or call meeting of the Coun-
ell will be held and such action taken
as seems proper.
1t is hardly to be supposed that
the people will be denied the oppor-
tunity of expressing themselves or
the matter, especially in view of the
petition filed which contains the
names of large number Of the most
representative citizens of the town
and the largest tax payers.
1t is taken for granted that the
school trustees hesitated about the
new building just as long as possible
ard that they considered we'll the
high cost of building maerial as well
as everything else. 1t is also taken
for granted that the trustees realized
that every business in the country
Was doing it's utmost to spread out
ard do all the business possible and
that there was never before as much

Parent Teachers Association En-.
dorses Health Work.

When the Parent-Teachers' Asso-
citation formed their organization in
the spring of 1919, the first dream
they had was the physical examina-
tion of the children in the public
schools of Grenada. DR.. Leathers,
President of our state Board of
Health, made talk to us one after
noon and made us see how important
our dream was and helped US by MAX
ing it possible for DR.. Guyton of
Oxford to make this examination
with DR.. Broadstreet to examine the
teeth. This examination meant such
wonderful improvement to our chill
dren we dreamed still more that we
take for our work in 1920 the ex-
animation of every child in Grenada
County. Every one knows how that
dream has come true, for every one
in the county knows how the honor
able Board Of Supervisors in their
splendid way secured Dr. Pope with
his staff of fine workers including
the splendid Red Cross nurse for this
wonderful Health Crusade They
are doing all in their power to push
this work and to follow up all ex-
dHilIidtiONS WlCil
til the desired results are obtained.
The Red Cross Clinic makes it easy
for all out-of-town patients and we
are justly proud of the sympathetic,
gentle way in which Mrs. Tigrett and
Miss Chamberlain have handled all
the cases, and the splendid work
Miss Tillman, who is quite an au-
thority in Child Welfare Work, is do
ing in perfecting organizations in the
different communities.
We are justly proud of DR.. Leath-
ers, the Board. DR.. Pope, and his
staff, the Red Cross Clinic, the CO.
operation of the city doctors, and in
fact we are proud that we live in
Grenada County.

money per capita in circulation as
today. In the face Of the needs of
the school on the one side and high
prices on the other, it is assumed
that the trustees thought that the
public schools of the town, the place
where all the children of the town
meet on an equal footing and the
only place where the child of the
poor can be educated, was then the
wrong place to begin to retrench.
1t may be conjectured that the trus-
tees thought that the great number
of automobiles parked Oh the public
square every day and the Injuries
being bought were good grounds for
believing that the town was able and
willing to improve the schools Of
Grenada so as to keep Our City
beautiful abreast of the other pro-
gressive towns of the State. If the
work comes high, it will be Grenada
money, spent for Grenada children
and paid to Grenada contractors and
Grenada laborers.
1t may also be supposed that the
trustees were not unmindful of what
many of the leading educators Of the
State thought Of the present white
school building and the the need Of
high school building-about mat
ters of health and sanitation, doctors
are. consulted; about finances, bank
ers; about crops, the farmer, so it is
but natural to suppose that the judg-
ment of school men at least had some
weight with the trustees in compell-
ing the step that body took.
1t is safe to say that Grenada will
deliberate and do that which is best
for the childhood and the future of
the community.

Revival at First Baptist Church.

The revival at the First Baptist
church begins next Sunday. Already
a great deal is being said about the
meeting and it is the belief of every
one that the meeting will be a great
|success.
Rev. w. M. Bostick of Winona is
to do the preaching. Mr.. Bostick
comes with splendid reputation as
pastor and evangelist. His coming
for this two weeks meeting will
doubtless mean much not only to the
congregation with which he labors
but to the entire town.
Miss McMurtry of Louisville is to
assist in the singing. Miss McMurtry
comes highly recommended as choir
director and soloist. Elaborate plans
are being made for this part of the
revival work. The. entire town is
expected to join in this meeting and
it is hoped that great benefit may
come to all the churches which are
working together in such unity and
harmony.

siding few miles north of Grenada,
was struck by southbound passenger
train number last Friday night at

One-hundred-cent debt with thirty
three One-cent payments. And this Is
made possible without the compound
ing Of interest, without building and
loan association computations, without
actuarial figures of any kind, but by
plain simple interest at per cent.
You, who are familiar with the amorti-
zatiOn table. understand how the
farmer pays per cent interest on his
loan and pays per cent additional
each year for thirty-three years to
wipe out the principal.
Can Pay Principal Any Time.
"Under the farm loan act, the bor-
rover may pay OF his loan before the
expiration of the SS years, II he
chooses. He is permitted to pay of
any part Of his debt on any interest
payment date. after five years, without
previous notice.

plea from the farmers Of the West. I
want to say that this law In It's pres

to keep the farmer on the farm. In

George L. Ramsey Tells How
