College Recital.

The recital of the piano and voice
departments at the College on Monday
night reflects great credit upon both
teachers and pupils. 1t was highly
creditable performance in every re-
spect, and shows the ability of Mr.

ors. The piano solo work of Misses
Kennard and Priebatsch is deserving
of especial mention, as also is Miss
Katie Hills rendition of "The Brook, :"

proohha,en pi.tric, Conference.

Mr.. EDITOR: The Methodists of Mis-
sissippi are grateful to the newspapers
of the State for favorably noticing
their great Twentieth Century Move
ment. Will you add to our obligation
by giving this communication a place
in your columnsS
As has been repeatedly stated, they
have a twofold object, viz: A great
spiritual awakening-a revival OF vital
godliness-in every Church, and the
raising of at least one million five
hundred thousand dollars as thank
offering to Almighty God for his signal
mercies in the past. The money will
be devoted to the cause of Christian
education, which means so much to
both Church and State.
The work has been inaugurated in
every pastoral charge in the State, and
special emphasis will be given to it in
every District Conference. Picked
men will be detailed TO represent this
cause at these Conferences. Bishop
Galloway will attend the Brookhaven
District Conference, to convene at
Brookhaven, April 20 aud 30. He
hopes to meet all the members of the
Conference and any others interested.
The Presiding Elder, the Rev. H. W.
Featherstun, d. D., and the Pastor at
Brookhaven, the Rev. T. w. Adams,
are specially anxious for full attend
ance of preachers and laymen. Let
each make it point to be present.
Let unceasing prayer be made for a
meeting that shall be monumental in
the history of the district.
Yours truly,

A more pitiful sight than mother and
her child, both captives and shackled in
dungeon, could not well be imagined.
There are thousands of mothers and their
babes who lie shackled by disease in the
dungeon of death.
Without knowing it, or having the faint
est comprehension of II, the fault lies with
the mother. Too many women enter upon
the responsibilities of wifehood and moth
erhood while suffering from weakness and
disease of the delicate and important or
gans that make wifehood and motherhood
possible. Awoman who suffers in this way
cannot be a capable wife and a competent
mother. Before entering upon the duties
and responsibilities of these positions, she

Public school Debate.

The public debate at Crystal Springs
Friday night and at Brooknaven Sat
urday night betweenrepresentatives of
the literary societies of the graded
public schools, was largely attended at
both places and ELECTED much interest
and enthusiasm. The subject debated
was
Resolved, That the United States
should adopt the policy of territorial
expansion"
The Crystal Springs society took the
affirmative and we're represented by
Vernon Barron, Patton Harrison, La
ron Miller and Newton Stay. Brook
haven, represented by Peyton Strother,
Miss Carrie Chrisman, Ably Cohn and
Lewis Wood, supported the negative.
All of the young speakers did credit
to themselves and reflected honor up
on their society and school, both sides
being highly complimented by the
judges, but the Brookhaven debaters
were rather .out-classed" as to age,
most of them being the juniors of their
opponents, and the honor of victory
was awarded both nights to Crystal
Springs.
The scope of the debate took wide
range, covering almost every phase of
the question, and some of the speeches
on each side were conspicuously able,
both as to the historical knowledge dis
played and in argument. That of Miss
Carrie Chrisman, the only young lady
who took part, was exceptionally fine
and stood out quite alone from all the
rest in point of excellence. Truly, the
future statesmen will have to look to
their laurels if they would keep the fu-
ture woman from outstripping them.
Prof. Trawick, of the Crystal Springs
school, and Prof. Teat, of the Brookha-
ven school, were justly proud of the
showing made by their respective pu-

$500 Bond REQUIRED.

The entire day Monday was taken up
in Judge McMillan's court by the trial
of Thomas Ballard, charged with the
crime of arson, in burning the dry
house of the Hartman Lumber Com

an interesting case, resting, as it did,
wholly on circumstantial evidence.
The State was ably represented by
Judge Hiram Cassidy, and likewise the
defense by A. c. McNair, Esq. The
result was that the Court required the
defendant to give bond in the sum of
$500 for his appearance before the Cir
cult Court on the first Monday of May
