The first term " the third session of
the Wynne-Preston Institute began to-
day with large enrolment. The
prospects for the school are very bright
this year. Many boarders are coming
and the new faces seen among those
already enrolled, prove that our school
is advancing rapidly, and that the
people without the bounds of the dis
trict are beginning to leap Of it and
feel its influence. The quality of the
work done by the teachers, and the
earnestness they manifest in the work
have gone far toward making the
school one of the best in the country.
The high standard that is being sought
and retained, makes the school one
worthy the patronage of him who de-
sires to have his children educated.
The moral influences thrown as man
tie around the scholar, so protect him
that he is safe in entering the school.
The kindness shown to the students BY
the citizens of the town go far towards
making life pleasant for them. The
same teachers have been retained and
all entered upon their duties this morn
ing; viz: W. D. Shue, principal, and
and Misses Stella Barksdale and Mary
Bell Lester, assistants. Miss Una
Carr has charge of the music and art.
The Rev. Geo. Inge preached here for
several days during the latter part of
last week and the early days of this.
He Is powerful preacher second to
none of his age. He brings to his WORK
an earnestness that makes it impossible
for one to say that the spirit of God is
not with him and that his soul is not in
his work. The scoifer may not remain
and mock; the Indifferent are impelled
to action and decision; the careless lis
tener Is aroused to lively interest.
Nature has wonderfully endowed him;
his Is an animating presence and a
graceful person; his voice is rich and
strong and mellow and the tones, of
which fail not to reach the heart;
learning has given him fullness Of
verbage and q beauty Of diction and an
imposing style that causes his words to
fall like honey upon the ears and hearts
Of his auditors. God has blessed him
with that sincerity Of endeavor and
purity Of heart and sArnestnes of pur-
pose that make minister dear to all
the people Of God. The tOwns-fo!k and
countrywide show their appreciation Of
the man and Of the work in which he is
engaged by filling the church to its
utmost capacity each time the evan
gelist spoke. He left for Water Valley
few days ago, at which place he is now
conducting series of most interesting
meetings. The prayers Of this people
60 after him as II from one soul. The
Rev. Mr.. Whitehurst who assisted him
with excellent music, remained and Is
now doing much good. The man is
earnest, 30 earnest that none may hear
and not believe.
Misses Blanche and Mamie Branum
returned Tuesday from Grenada, to be
ready for school on Wednesday.
Mr.. Albert Collins, a recent raduate
Of the Iuka shool, came home last week.
He is bright young gentleman.
Mrs. Hadley johnson who spent sew
eral days with her sister, Mrs. Pearson
in Grenada, has just returned.
Prof. Ferguson is conducting a sing
ing school in the Baptist Church.
Cotton is hardly two-third crop
here. The farmers and merchants
have begun to lay in a supply of not
very handsome winter clothing-long
faces. s.
