CEMETERY ASSOCIATION GIVES
UP.


To The Former Members Of Ladies
Cemetery Association: ~
This is to notify you that TIE Gem
etery Association is no more. To any
who have paid dues for 1920 same
will be refunded if you will call on
the former, treasurer, Mrs. S. S.
Roane.
The Association was organized
Sept. 30, 1895, and during these "a
years has maintained and directed
the work. but the time has come, in
the history of the work, when it has
outgrown LADIES" Cemetery AS
sociation. The work needs the back
ing of the strong business men of
Grenada to make plans for the future
if the work is to be carried on, and
surely the citizens will not vote to
have it discontinued!
For several years past the Associ-
alton has carried on the work under
the most trying circumstances, but
we did our best with the funds in
hand, but "the best" was far from
satisfactory.
As you all know the Odd Fellows
own the Cemetery. In the past sew
en- years this Lodge has given $500
to the Association. They do propose
to keep up the fence, and yet for
months past, in fact for nearly two
years, the stock, hogs and cows, have
run at large in the Cemetery, doing
untold damage. The drives have been
in terrible condition, and still are,
yet we are told that the Lodge is not
able to keep them up.
The bare facts in the case may
help you to come to some better
plans for the work. In many places
the city owns the Cemetery and keeps
it up. Something must be done!
What remains for you to say. The
spot is too sacred to be neglected!
Respectfully.
EVA III. WHITAKER,
Former Secretary.

MANY JEALOUS
OF WASHINGTON
Or~ HE fame Of George Washing
ton lived down every criticism
nnA c,,;tio J;vnn<nL ~-ct~

and critic directed against
him. Today his name Is rev.
erenced beyond that Of any other
American and 1t Is hard to realize that
for the great deeds he had accom-
plished he should have made a great
many enemies, who tried by every
means to blacken his character and
break his popularity with the people.
The custom Of celebrating February
% in honor Of Washington's birthday
dates back to 1888. On that day and
year a number of gentlemen who ad-
mired him met In a tavern in New
York. One had written an ode and
another brought list Of toasts. The
celebration at once became popular
and the historian says: "March was
far gone before the Gazettes and Ad-
vertisers ceased to publish narratives
Of the bonfires and the barbecues, the
bell ringing, the cannonading, the
feasting, etc., which came in from
every town in the land"
Washington "Aristocrat."
u
Of the community who looked upon
these celebration with hidden rage
Z writer In the Pasadena Star-News
observes. These consisted mostly Of
the admirers of France and the new
republic, and they claimed that the
president was an aristOcrat. Was he
not cold and reserved? Did he not
carefully avoid the use of the word
"servant" when he signed his letters?
But Washington paid no attention to
the willful misconstruction of his most
innocent acts. In 1796 for the first
time in the history of the country the
Office of president was open to COM
petition. Twice had Washington been
chosen by the unanimous vote Of the
electoral college and twice inaugural
ed with the warmest appreciation Of
the whole people.
But the times had now changed. In
1880 and 1892 every man was for him.
In 1896 in every town and city Of the
land were men who denounced him as
an aristocrat. as monocrat. as an
Anglomaniac. rer 'iflc~n' as MS pOpu-
:Arity suffered it was still great and
powerful and thousands'Of men in the
republican party would gladly have
seen him seated for the third time.
but he refused. and on Sept. II made
public his farewell address.
His critics stated that the reason he
refused to be a third-time candidate
was said to spring from knowledge
that he would not be elected, not from
q want Of ambition or lust of power
The republicans favored Adams,
whom. they said. had the simplicity
of a republican. but Washington had
the ostentatiOn of an eastern paSha.
when. however. II was known that
Washington would not serve again the
merits of number of candidates were
urged and discussed, and upon his re-
tirement to Mount Vernon the oppOsi-
ton to him gradually grew less violent
and finally his most bitter opponents
began to recognize the wisdom Of
Washington as statesman, as well
as they had appreciated his services as
q soldier.

WHAT DIR. POPE
AND STAFF PURPOSE.
Best Medical Care and Hospital Care

Charge. A FaE-Rcackins Work
Planned

Due to the fact that there is no
hospital in Grenada County the Red
Cross has seen fit to cooperate with
the Mississippi State Board of Health.
in establishing q Clinic for the ben
eft of the people in Grenada County.
The most important thing in con-
nection with the medical inspection
Of school children which is now being
done in this County, is not the peint-
ing out of physical defects, but max
ing it possible for these people to
have such defects corrected.
TIE purpose Of the above referred
to Clinic is: % To have conven-
lent place where proper medical and
surgical treatment can be administer
ed; (2) An infant welfare station
where babies and children of pre-
school age can be weighed, measured,
examined, and mothers advised con-
cerning their proper care, etc; -(S}
Where demonstration can be given IN
regard to care of babies, preparation
of food, such as pasteurizing milk,
ETC.
This Clinic will consist OF an ex-
amining room, beds and a labora-
tory. There will also be loan-closet
where linen, gauze, bandages, cts.
will be supplied to those in need.
In order for any patient to receive
the benefit of free surgical treatment
have eyes tested by specialist, ETC.,
it will be necessary for him to have
a certificate from his family physi-
clan, school teacher, or supervisor OF
the Beat in which he lives, stating his
inability to pay for same. The dent
ist, local doctors and out of town
specialists have agreed to cooperate
on this basis.
The Director will make medical in
spection of children in school and
those of pre-school age, also exam
inc and treat hookworm disease, vac
against typhoid fever and
smallpox, without cost to the public.
The office hours will be from a
to 5 every afternoon, and all day Sat-
urday.

A COUNTY NORMAL HERE.
Plans On Foot To Bring One to Gre.
NADIA

A Summer Normal which will mean
much to the social, commercial, and
religious life Of the community will
be held in Grenada, comm encing
about July 1st and continuing for six
weeks. Representatives from five,
and possibly eight, counties of North
Mississippi will be here at that time,
and it is expected that the attendance
0 fteachers will be from one hundred
and fifty to two hundred and fifty.
County Superintendent of Educa-
tion McKibben recently attended
meeting of the County Superintend-
ents of the counties interested, at
which meeting the question of the
place for the Summer Normal was
discussed, and Grenada wasmentioned
along with other towns. Upon his
return home, Mr.. McKibben appoint
ed a committee to consider the adj
visibility of inviting the Normal to
Grenada-the committee being COM
posed of the following named: c. c.
White, Chairman; ]. 7. Thomas, H.
J. Ray, H. A. Patterson, A. M. Ca
rothers, H. H. Heath, w. D. Salmon,
W. B. Hoffa, DR.. j. r. Countiss and
j. T. Keeton. At a meeting of this
committee held in Mr.. McKibben's
office on February 18th, it was decid-
ed to invite the County Superintend-
ents to hold the Normal in Grenada,
and to offer them Five Hundred Dol
lars as an inducement to accept the
invitation, it being the custom for
the town in which the Normal is held
to supplement the funds in the hands
of the County Superintendents for
the purpose of employing the best
teachers and speakers. President
Countiss stated that the buildings of
Grenada College could be used for
the accommodation of the teachers who
attend the Normal. It is therefore

Products of Grenada Feed Milling Co.
And Why Buy Them.

For some reason never quite Iuily
explained, it has been one of the
characteristics of humanity to think
that John Does neighbor across the
river could execute task better or
prepare a product that was better
than their friends at their door. The
best reason that can be assigned for
this sort of thing is that all man7
kind have weaknesses and foibles and
the world knows of these OF the man
right at the door whereas distance
has blurred the vision as to the short
comings of the man across the river.
The characteristics herein referred to
serve to make people pay homage to
the man in another state Or IN an
other county when as matter or fact
he is no better and perhaps has not
the real ability of the man just
across the road or the street. Like
wise this same constituent in maj
kind causes them to think that a thing
ordered out of Chicago or Memphis
or manufactured elsewhere is just
a little superior to the same article
in a store at home Or of better quail

by a manufacturer at home.
With these observations, The Sent
incl wants to direct the attention Of
it's readers to the manufactured pro-
ducts of the Grenada Feed Milling
Co. now on display, and which are
kept in stock and for sale there, in
the windows of E. j. Weyneth & Co.
The feed for poultry, for hogs, horses
and cattle is up to the standard in
every respect and those who use the
products of this plant bear witness
in the public press as to its purity and
as to the most satisfactory results.
Under the circumstances, it would
seem that everybody in this trade ter
ritory who has poultry or who buys
feeds of this kind for either cattle
hogs or horses, would first get the
prices of the Grenada Feed Milling
Co. The quality is guaranteed and
the products of this mill are being
sold all over north Mississippi and
indeed to business establishments IN
Memphis. 1t is a great thing to deal
with man at home, with one whose
word is his bond and upon whom you
feel that you can rely to get person

Washinaton as a Business Man.

Washington was man of extraOrdi-
nary activity. It was his custom to
rise at 4 o'clock, and he claimed that
great deal of his work was done
while others slept MY manner of

not mean to be put out by it,
It was said Of. him AT the time u
his marriage 1t is no great strain of
metaphor to say that Washington had
now his first chance to sit down since
the days when he had pOred over his
school copybook.r After the war and
his first term as president Washington
found his estates run down and un-'
profitable, yet he so redeemed his for
tunes by his application to his affairs
and by good business judgment that
he died the second richest man ia

With Other Editors
Real Glory.
(Springfield Register)


Appreciation of the fact that every one
should do his or her individual part to make
the democratic form of government success
full, appears to be gaining among organizations
which have tremendous possibilities, but which
have held somewhat aloof. The National Edu-
session. recommended the removal from school
text books of any passages tending to extol
glory" in connection with war. What the
schools teach is, of course powerful factor
in making the future of the world, and may
hasten the, day when league of nations will
be better understood and operated than even
its best friends think II can be at the present
time, owing to the disposition Of so many to
hold that glory" is to be found as nowhere
else "at the lannon's mouth"
II the educators of the United States set
their faces firmly against this barbarian re-
crudescence," the coming generations will at
tain better civilization and prouder aspira-
tons than those which lead to butchering men,
women and children and destroying cities and
towns that they may gain glory
When the educational, the Christian and the
social organizations of the United States exalt
the glory of peace. progress and prosperity
and pronounce anathe,mas on war" as the way
to. glory this nation will become more than
it ever has been, the beacon light of liberty and
the evangel of real righteousness to the whole
earth That will be real glory worthy the am
bition of every true American.

Closing Up Hog Island.

Before the end Of this month seven ships

the Delaware. completing the governments or
iginal contract with the Emergency Fleet cor
porat.on for 122 vessels. BY Oct it is ex-
pected the work Of Quitting tho last ships
will have been completed. Then the great
plant will close.
Thus passes into history the biggest ship
building yard the world has ever seen. What
will become Of the valuable property and well
equipped yard is uncertain. It would be de-
plorable, indeed. should this expensive insti-
tuition become \ deserted graveyard" with
only the murmur Of the tide and the chirps Of
the swamp crickets to take the place of sounds
made by thousands of workers. But there are
no better prospects than this
Philadelphia has been trying to convert the
shipyard into giant freight terminal. The
citys chamber of commerce has exerted stSen-
ucus efforts to have such a plan carried out
But the $20,0000O0 required to- buy the plant
from the shipping board is not forthcoming
and since private shipbuilders have not become
interested, the 100-way yard which rose like
ghost "over night" soon will be deserted
Millions Of government funds were expended
in draining the swamps, erecting the buildings
and constructing transit facilities. The total
cost was said to be around 500 00o o00 When
air hammers cease to pound. when derricks
cease to creak, when shrill whistles no longer
sound. 1t will be lonesome place, monument
to the terrible waste Of war But if our mer-
chant marine is to grow to meet our export
needs, why should there be such waste?
Why not keep on building boats?
