Long years ago, on the occasion
of great Methodist convention
in GreenyilIc, some humorist-we
believe George PIatt-was sitting
in front Of Finlay' drug store and
gazing out over the wide eXpanso
of open commons and wcedy
lots. He looked long and thought
fully, and at last observed grave.
Iy: This town is infested witt
Methodist preachers and dog fen
mel. For a long time this was &
bve-word: and the irrevcrent found
an evil amusement in it at the ex
pense Of the preachers, Things
are changed since then. The va
cant lots are all built ND will
brick stores, Finlays corner j.
place where busy throngs con
tinuaIIy rush to and fro. and NJ
congenial company sits on empt,
boxes and tells yarns in the cool o
the evening. The dog fcnneI ha
disappeared entirely, and L.
longer haunts its "unproftabla
gayety" within many blocks 0
the scene. But once again tn
town is ''infested" by preachers
They are here nearly thousand
strong, and represent the Negro
Missionary Baptist State Conven-
ton Of Mississippi.
\ fine, prosperous and impor-
tant looking body OF men they are,
too. Black broadcIoth, high silk
or white hats, grip sack and a
linen buster are the insignia of
their calling, and the man who
hiss the longest coat carries the
belt. Mayor Yer
ger welcomed the convention on
behalf Of the city in a neat address
made at the first meeting, and all
the social and business life of the
coIored population reyoIyesaround
the preachers like moths about
