SCHOOL BOND ISSUE CAR
RlES BY LARGE MAJORITY
Ladies Of Grenada Due Large Meas.
ure of Credit for Result of the
Election.

The election held last Saturday,
June 12, for the purpose of determ-
ming whether or not the town of
Grenada should issue bonds to an
amount not exceeding $125,000 for
the public schools of Grenada carried
by a vote of more than 2 to /. The
vote was very gratifying to the
school authorities and was somewhat
in excess of what the bond advocates
figured on for the reason that Mayor
w. s. P. Doty was actively and stren-
ously opposing the bond issue and,
while with but very few exceptions,
the mayor was alone in having active
cooperatOrs in his opposition, yet it
was know that quite large number
of the very best citizens in the COM
munity were opposed to the bond is
sue at this time. Had the election
been had week earlier, it is doubt
full if the bond issue would have car
ried. The opposition seemed to have
been unfortunate in their method or
plan Of attacking the issue. Those
favoring the bond issue seemed to
have had fate with them and not to
have made what is called in base ball
parlance, any "errors."
Unquestionably the ladies Of Gre
NADIA are due a very large measure
of credit for putting the bond issue
over. They we've active and enthusi-
astic and succeeded in convincing
quite number Of doubling husbands
of their duty, and in speaking of the
ladies, special mention should be made
of Mrs. w. D. Salmon, president of
the parent teachers association. Mrs.
Salmon gave the election great deal
of personal attention and was very
effective in what she said and did.
And right here it might be well to
observe that the ladies are as power
full as ever even without the ballot
in any cause which they espouse.
When they are armed with the bal
lot and when the question of the chill
dren, schools or any moral issue is to
be determined, the unrepentant or
hardened man had best hunt tall tim
Der.
The vote for the bonds was III,
against n. Only about three fourths
of the total votes were polled. This
paper feels that it can assure the peO-
ple of Grenada that the trustees are
going to handle the whole matter ac-
coroias TO the dictates Of good jUdg-
ment and that no undue haste will be
exercised in putting the bonds on the
market unless some attractive offers
are made. It will most probably be
necessary to sell perhaps $4,000 of
the issue at an early date in order to
get funds to repair the white school
building and do some needed work on
the colored school building.
Let it be hoped that when the new
high school building is a matter Of
reality, that it will be such splen-
did piece of architecture and will af-
ford so much better facilities for high
school work that every citizen of Gre
NADIA will be more than proud Of it.

Splendid Success of Mrs. Evans Pu-
pills


The unqualified success which at
tends all the musical work of Mrs.
Josephine M. Evans was especially
manifest in the recital given by two
of her pupils, Miss Mary Justice, con-
tralto, of Wartrace, and Miss Charlie
Olsen, an advanced pupil of Missis-
sippi The latter has very beauti-
full, full soprano voice, capable of
splendid expressive phrasing, and full
of sweetness. Miss Justices voice
has some of the rich, velvet that is
. cii,c~s cteristic Of her teachers love-
iy voice, and both have the finished
methoos used by Mrs. Evans. Their
work was marked by poise and ar
tistic style, and insured continued sue
cess FOR both singers If they cosftinue'
their musical work.
They were assisted by Miss Janet
Moulder, gifted piano pupil OF Mrs.
WinkIer, and she, with Miss Daisy Sar-
tain, played the accompanlments.
The recital took place at the Centen-
NAL Club auditorium, which was filled
with an interested audience. The ap-
piause which was showered upon the
players was an evidence of the pleas
ure which the beautiful program gave
the hearers. 1t was carried out as
previously published, and while uni
formly well done, specially notable tor
excellence were the "Cry of Rachel,
and 'Lo, the Gentle Lark" OF Miss
Olsen. and Mill Moulder's Etude Ara
besgue.-Nashville Banner.

Two More Msmbers Of School FACE
ulty Named.

The board of trustees has been noti-
fed of the acceptance by Misses lr-
ma Bailey Of Clinton and Lottie Bell
Lewellyn of Baldwin of the positions
to which they were recently elected.
Miss Bailey will teach the third grade
and Miss Lewellyn the seventh grade.
The history and science teacher has
not yet been named but Prof. Rumble
has been authorized to tender the
position and it is believed that the
trustees will know about the mat
ter this week. There has been no
music teacher chosen.
1t will be pleasing news to many
to know that Miss Hutchins will
again preside as teacher of mathe-
matics.
Grenada has every reason to look
forward to the next session being
one of the best in all the history Of
Grenada public schools.

AS l promised ! wall write you a

paper that the people of Grenada
County, after SO much rain may not
feel so discouraged. Texas, as we
all know, determines the price of
cotton. and also it is country that
promises less and gives more than
any other state in the South. So you
cannot tell what the outcome will be
till gathering time. have been out
here two weeks; been over two Of the
best counties in the state. l find the
crop about FIVE weeks late, as a gen
eral thing. From the best informa-
ton that l can get and from what |
can see, there is to date about SO
per cent of the cotton to hoe, and
a great deal yet to plant; and with
such a scarcity of labor / don't see
how the farmers can handle their
crops. Forty per cent of the farm
ers in the country where / have been

have not half worked their corn,

find that it is on. account of scarcity
of labor Nearly every man Is plant
ing from 40 to 60 acres in cotton with
the expectation of hiring it chopped
and a great deal of it is very grassy,
and should it set in TO raining a great
deal Of the acreage would be lost.
The farmers out in this country made
a very short. crop Of cotton on ac-
count of raining SO much last year.
/ find wherever | go the people are
talking about selling out and going
somewhere else. never saw as much
unrest, and dissatisfaction among the
people. Nearly every body wants
hard roads but they want them put
by their houses, and if they can't get
it built by their place they are against
them. l hope the bond issue car
ried in our county, and that the peo-
pie will cooperate in building perma-
nent roads; if we don't build but a
few miles at a time, / have travelled
over a great deal of hard road since

our county to closely investigate be-
fore they build hardsurfaced roads.
SO when they spend their money
they will get the best results. There
is but one kind Of hard road that will
stand out here and that is the Mac
,adamized road. l find that gravel
roads are very expensive to keep up
so hope the people or men that have
our road business in charge will be
careful and not make mistakes.

A Few Song. on Mobiles Program

a r feW Son8S on NoDle Program.
Crawford Noble, in his song recital
here Thursday will sing There is no
Death" by O'Hara. This number is
one of the sensations Of the day in
the song world, and is an answer to
the many Flanders Field" songs
which have been written since the
war. Mr.. Noble WAS coached by MIR.
O'Hara, the composer of this num-
[ber.
Another number which has caused
great deal of comment lately is
the deep Water Song" by Mary Hell
en- Bown, one Of the best known wo-
man composers of the day. This
number is q real Sailor Song and is
Of the "On the Road to Mandalay"
type, although it goes the last named
number one better, because of the
fact that it is very artistic musically
and for descriptiveness, has no equal.
Mary Helen Brown is PERSONAL
friend of the young singer, who is to
render this number, and through her
splendid coaching and with his COM
mand of the art of Interpretation,
Crawford Noble, will undoubtedly
make this song, one of the most pop
.ular on his program.
Among the other many wonderful
numbers on the program are the NE
GRO Spirituals'' of which, Crawford
Noble is q past master and his singing
Of them has already caused mild
sensation, in the cities where he has,

Resolved, That copies Of these reso-
lutions be forwarded to our Repre-
sentatives in Congress and be pub

For Instruction of Printers.
In view of the fact that the recent
session of the State Legislature ap-
propriated the sum of $4,000 for the
purchase of printing plant to teach
the students of the A. & M. College
and Deaf and Dumb Institute, who
may desire to enter the newspaper
and printing business, the rudiments
of the printers trade, it is therefore
Resolved, That the Mississippi
Press Association give its hearty en-
dorsement to any movement to IN
crease the number of apprentices in
the printing trades, and we welcome
any efforts in this direction, but we
do not believe colleges and other
state institutions should enter into
competition with the newspapers and
job Offices, and that only such equip
ment and machinery should be pur-
chased as may be necessary for pur-
poses of instruction.
To Instruct Women.
Whereas, The Mississippi Legisla-
ture at its recent session put upon
the statute books of the State of Mis-
sissippi, a law which says that when
the Secretary of State of Mississippi
shall issue a proclamation declaring
that thirty-six states of the United
States have ratified the Federal
Amendment to the Constitution OF
the United States giving the right OF
vote to women, then all election laws,
rights and privileges Of the State now
in force and effect shall apply and be
given to the women of Mississippi.
And
Whereas, there is a probability that
thirty-six states may ratify the said
Federal Amendment, and thus cause
the aforementioned law of the state
to become effective, therefore, Be it
Resolved, That should this law be-
come effective in this state, that we,
the members of the Mississippi Press
Association, extend our hearty CO.
operation in informing the women OF
our state as to the rights, duties and
privileges of citizenship.
