The Quarterly Conference-PreachIng
In all the Churches last Sunday-The
Exclusion Monday-The Fact0ry-The
New Hancock and English Flag,
On last Sunday in company with a
good many young ladies' md gen
tlemen from Brookhaven, we boarded o
wagon and stated to Wesson. The
day wa very warm. but as we got rath>
or an early start we reached our destina
ton without melting. Brookhaven had
a large representation there Sunday.
We made our headquarters at the Rich>
ardson House kept by the genial and
whole souIed j. N. Cooke, who UNDER
stands keeping a f~irstrclass hotel. We
met a great many nice people who ex>
tended numerous courtesies and who by
their kindness and attention caused
ous to spend and agreeable day.
Especially was this the case with
the young gentlemen, and our
young ladies babe adieu to Wesson
with a very exalted opinion of the gals
iantary Oh her young men.
At eleven o'clock our party began to
dispense for the purpose OF attending
service at II or the other of the
churches as there WAS preaching at
each. The writer of this went to the
Presbyterian church and heard DR.. II.
f. johnson deliver "A very uterestinp
sermon. The Presbyterian Is a mode
editice being very handsomely fin,sned
Hnd fitted up in the nic st style. A
portion OF the party went to tie NJ e
church and heard Rev. w. e. NJ. Lln,
field preach one of his usually fine ser
mon;' others attended III" Baptist
church and were delighted with Rev. Fl.
X. Cafdweil's discourse
District Conference convened at IVES
son last Thursday, and the attendance
throughout was good aud the pro-
ceedings together with the preaching
was interesting.
When the cool of the evening made
its appearance We started for home and
reached 1t IN time to take a short nap
before the excursion train came along
the next morning for Wesson
Tuis excursion was run in the inter
est of the Fire Department ut McCnmb
City. A good many from Brookhayeu
took passage on it. A place had
been prepared about half n mile from
the depot for the reception of the ex>
c%ursionist where n large platform had
been erected. There was a band in at
| tendance and those desiring to dance
had a good opportunity afforded. Most
of the crowd went through the Mills.
The factory is now turning out a large
quantity Of goods. and meets with ready
sale for all it makes.
On Monday morning the citizens
of Wesson hosted a large flag bearing
the names of Hancock and English.
Misses Octavia Pickens and Belle Bee
assisted in the ceremony. The people
OF Wesson were largely 10 favor of
Tllden and Hendricks, but like all good
Democrats they submit without a mur-
mer to the nomination add say they
will work as hard for their election
AS the would their favorites. The flag
is a very nice one and floats gracefully
on every passing breeze.
The excursion train left Wesson at
six o'clock and the crowd departed. im>
pressed with the seeming prosperity of
WessOn.

Leaving Brookhaven a few days ago,
I spent the night with Mr.. David Mo
Rec. whom I found to be q clever geo.
tleman, surrounded by q splendid fans
ily. He is one OF u best citizens, is .
member of the Methodist church, but
welcomes alike Presbyterians. Baptists
aud M~ethodists. and entertsins them
without money and without price. From
his house I went to Copiah county and
spent a few hours most ~agreeably with
an old companion m arms. w. W Da-
Wis, a thrifty farmer, who has his smoke
house and corn crib at home. His ele.
CANT lady prepared a splendid dinner.
which 1 truly relished. That night I
passed with another companion IN arms
H. P. Davis, chatted pleasantly over
the war, slept on a good bed, aud after
partaking of the breakfast prepared by
his excellent lady. I went to W. 6.
Millsaps and took dinner, which was a
most splendid one. I found Mr.. Mill
saps and his estimable lady very agree
able. From there I went to Samuel
Osborn's where 1 was Hospitality enters
tanned for the night, and from there to
Nebo church. where DR.. Bethea preach
ed to a large congregation. 1 had the
good luck to take dinner with Mr.. Gals
endsr. To the evening I attended church
at Cool Springs. and the manner in
which the people turned ont there,
spoke for them in words of loudest com.
mendation. During my stay in the
uaiRhborhood, from the number of
Subscribers ! received. I became on
WINGED that it was a mistaken idea that
people out there cared nothing for
newspapers. Sunday night 1 spent
with James Cupit. who has a nice fami~
ly. Their hospitality was bountiful.
Monday night i. was my coed pleasure
to abide under the roof of r. X. Scott.

Whitwortb College for the past two or
three years.

How Watches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any one, who will
examine a SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engray-
ing and polishing, a large proportion of
the precious metal used, is needed only to
stifen and hold the engraved portions in
place, and supply the necessary solidity
and strength. The surplus gold is actually
needless so far as utility and beauty are
concerned. In James Boss Patent Gold
Watch Cases, this waste of precious metal
is overcome, and the same solidity and
strength produced at from ene-third to
one half of the usual cost of solid cases.
This process is of the most simple nature,
as follows: a plate of nickle composition
metal, specially adapted to the purpose,
has two plates of solid gold soldefed one
on each side. The three are then passed
between polished steel rollers, and the re.
suit is a strip of heavily plated composi-
ton, from which the cases, backs, centres.
bezels, ETC., are cut and shaped by suitable
dies and formers. The gold inthese cases
is sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds
| of chasing, engraving and enamelling; the
engraved cases have been carried until
| worn perfectly smooth by time and use
without removing the gold. They are for
sale by all jewellers. and each case is war
ranted by Special Certificate.
