DR.. Primrose, Of tho Greenyille Pres.
oyteriAn church, delivered the com.
moncomont sermon At the Chamber
lAin-Hunt Academy in Port Gibson on
sunday July I'd, and his able, eloquent
and appropriate effort receives the
highest praise from the papers Of that
town. The Revoille says: "Dr. Prim-
rose made very pleasant impression
while In Port Gibson, both as an able
and eloquent minister and as an inter-
oSting man socially"
ThSd, tho little son of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. H. Wynn, had narrow escape from
horrible death on Thursday. The
little fellow, who is about years old,
wandered into a neighbours yard in
which was COW with a young calf.
The COW Immediately attacked him
savagely, knocking him down and gor-
Ing him severely about the face and
body before he could be rescued. The
injuries were at first thought to be very
dangerous, but are now known to be
only painful and ugly. The little fell
low Is now doing well and will recover
without permanent injury or disiigure-
ment.
Capt. Walto n Shields has been sue
cSSsful in organizing his company, and
is almost roady to report for duty UNI
der Con. Lee, The company numbers
one hundred, and is composed princi-
pAlly OF volunteers from Chicago, with |
some MissiSsippians and Arkansans,
the latter coming from Lake Provi-
dence and the surrounding country.
d. Howard Hood will be First Lieuten-
ant OF tho new company. Capt. Shields
leaves Chicago for Columbus today
with lis men, and Lieut.. Hood left
Greenvillo this morning with eight re-
cruits. Under command of these two
gallant boys, this company will make
a name for itself.
A late ordinance OF the City Council
provides that persons sprinkling the
streets must leave space or roadway
four feet wide adjoining the sidewalks
in order that bicycle riders mry not be
imprded by the mud from excessive
Iprinkling. This is good ordinance.
Now, it is necessary to pass another,
Dr. rather, TO make some effort to en-
'orce one already passed, which is to
1eep bicycles off the sidewalks. 1t is
probably not too much to say that there
. not a eitizen who has not at some
line or other been run down on the (
idewalks by wheelmen-or rather,
Wheel boys or girls, for they are the :
hief offenders. These youngsters :
youths from IL to l8-delib- :
rately clang their bells as warning /
o pedestrians to get off the walks, and
eem to think their duty done if they
i've notice. II the promenader gen t.
rally lady or child-does not prompt a
= turn out into the gutter or take re- V
lge against the wall, she is simply k
I'm down. This is no trivial complaint Il
ut one which is beginning to cry aloud
,r attention. II is direct violation
I law, and il is the plain duty of the \
Ity officials to see that stop is put to =
promptly. y
The suggestion made by Col. Mont h
omeiy, of the Second Regiment, met
it'll Enthusiastically prompt and
enerous response from Greenville. n
he suggestion, it will be remembered ~
as that the regiment, while enjoying -
usually good health, was still in L.
sed OF hospital supplies-delicate food \,
r the sick, clean bedding, and other AZ
Iings not furnished by the govern
ont, and that an effort to provide al
Iem by tho homes Of the various COM tC
mics would be greatly appreciated. L
n Thursday morning Mrs. VIM. Yer Cd
II, Mrs. J. NJ. Jayne, Mrs. d. F. OF
unit and Mrs. Il. B. Campbell formed h(
emselveS into q committee, and in tn
actly half day collected and tel
raphcd to Col. Montgomery the very m
sum of $3.50. A cOntribu- 4,
IN Of only fifty cents was asked from n
CHI person approached, and in every tb
Sc the way in which the request was A
1t showed that it received warm, =;
pular cOmmendation. The list is Il,
IL open and the fund will. of course,
largely swelled by voluntary con- =,
buttons. The incident reflects honor W
Ike on those who responded with such ~
emptiness to the appeal, the ladies 10
10 undertook the kindly task, and III
Q soldier boys themselves, for it iI'
ows the estimation in which they VI
o hold by those at home. Oh
