The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1920-01-16

whose parents had passed on to tn,
other world, and had left them mo-
only the heritage of a good name
but Of lives well spent and a beau
tiful estate, that it was the daily
concern Of the bereft sons anc
daughters to walk worthily of the
names they bore and to husband ane
guard with jealous care the splendid
and well kept property which haC
been the object of much solicitude
on the part of their departed par.
ents. The very stability of their
characters and their high ideals in
due time, it was said-and it must
be remembered that they were never
idle or slothful-brought them new
opportunities and new obligations.
Naturally family that had lived as
they had were ready to meet the
new opportunities.
In some respects it might be said
that the beautiful city of Grenada
somewhat typifies the life of these
brothers and sisters who worked to-
gether, and lived so beautifully, to
one purpose.
Grenada is not boastful place
there is just that stable and sterner
stuff about her citizenship that some
how has begot a becoming modesty
and sort of shrinking that precludes
the blowing of their own horn. Yet
the entire citizenship was and is a
Grenada citizenship and have been
and are proud to own it. To live in
Grenada gives one stamp Of COM
mendation that parallels the idea of
living in America to those across the
seas. Grenada has been foundation
laying all the while. She learned
well the Scriptural lesson Of
what it means to build on the
sands. Other towns have been toot-
ing horns and waving banners while
Grenada has been laying deep and
lasting the foundations of good citi-
zenship and beneficient home life that
has made the community famed far
and wide as a residence town unex-
celled.
And at last, what could be better
than beautiful, desirable home
town? With a home town, an envi-,
able place in which to train up chill
dren, in which neighbor and friend
meet upon the streets and greet each
other with gracious smile, goes to
the churches where the citizenship
meet to worship God and acknowl-
edge Him as the Giver of every good
thing. Next in order are the schools
and colleges where the mental train
ing Of the youth is given a concern
that means so much to the future.
Grenada has all these-she is not
just now getting them, she has had
them for years and naturally she is
ready for larger duties, for increas-
ed responsibilities.
In addition to the character and
life Of the citizenship, it might be
well to mention other assets of the
community which come as naturally
for Grenada as for water to flow
down hill, and that is, her side walks,
streets and civic pride generally. The
chief health officer of Mississippi
says Grenada is the cleanest and best
cared for town in Mississippi.
Grenada's merchants are on a SOL
and meet every demand Of her citi-
zenship. The town has one bank
whose fame extends far beyond the
confines of Mississippi--it is a big
institution It's business is as large
as the heart life and
generous spirit of the people of the
town.
With all these things to rest upon
with a record that every man and
woman in the town may justly pride |
in, it is no wonder that large
business enterprises are seeking al
domicile here. From far away Wis
consin comes a branch of the Phoe-
nix Chair factory and casts it's lot |
in Grenada. From Missouri comes a |
far-seeing citizen with plenty of cap
ital and much experience and erects |
an anti-hog cholera serum plant
the only one this far South, and the |
plant, by the way, is under the super
vision of the federal government.
The Dixie Hardwood Speciality
a concern that has a num-
ber of plants at different points in |
the country, and several Of whose
largest stockholders are residents of
Liverpool, picks out Grenada as AMI
ideal point for one of the busiest |
milling plants in al he country. |
This plant utilizes almost any sort of
timber, from dog wood and persim-
non up.
The R. C. Brown Lumber Co., of
Memphis, concern which owns vast
tracts of timbered land at many
points within radius of 200 miles
of Memphis, too, says Grenada for
ne" This company is going to begin
the erection real soon of it's main
mill at Grenada. And it is no Sc
,ret that the coming of this plant
makes almost sure of another rail
road for Grenada.
And within the past few days the
Gayoso Lumber Co., whose domicile
1T present is in Memphis, has leased
