The Opening Sermon of whitworth Col
lege.
The opening sermon for Whitworth
College was preached on last Sabbath
by Bishop Chas. B. Galloway before
an immense throng of church mem
bers, friends and admirers of this en-
inent orator and minister of the Cos
pei, whose fame is worldwide. His
subject was "The Pre-eminent Christi"
and the large congregation was thrill
ed with the beautiful flow of language
and wonderful magnetism of the
speaker. Vocal solos were rendered
superbly by Mesdames Patterson and
Willoughby. The former is the newly
made teacher of voice at Whitworth;
and her clear, resonant notes were the
delight of every listening ear.
In the afternoon, Bishop Galloway
charmed heyoung people in an ad-
dress before the Epworth League, and
at night another vast audience greeted
the eloquent Bishop; sweetest music
was furnished by a select choir; and
as the day closed, all felt that it had
been one of inspiring thought, of spir-
itual significance, and of great power
for good, and the advancement of
Gods Kingdom.
We are gratified to state, in this con-
nection, that Whitworth girls are ar
irving daily and that all things point
to a successful term.

tofore bored are inadequate to supply
the inhabitants of the city of Brook
haven with sufficient water. Therefore
it is ordered by the Board that another
well be bored in front of the Power
House, similar to those now in use.
Mr.. Ike Feitel, General Manager of
The Feitel Well Co., of New Orleans,
La, appearing before the Board and
agreed to sink we'll in front of the
Power House to yield approximately
100000 gallons Of water every "a hours
for 1850, on the following conditions
That is to say, he agreed to sink an 8
inch well for the sum of $3.50 and fur
nish all material including an air head
for lifting water from the we II and
sink an experimental 6 inch we'll in
side of the inch we'll at the option of
the Board for the sum of S1.50 per
foot, the city to furnish all material
necessary for the same experimental
inch well. The inch we'll is to
stand in the same stratum or vein of
water as the present city wells and to
be not exceeding 2 feet in depth, work
to be commenced within 30 days and
to be paid therefor as follows:
$50 upon arrival of tools, machinery
and material on the ground, and S75
per week while the work progresses
and the balance to be paid when the
we'll is completed and accepted by the
Board. Said proposition was by the
Board considered and accepted and
the contract awarded to the Feitel
Well Co., of New Orleans, La.
1t is therefore ordered by the Board
that His Honor, J. B. Daughtry, the
Mayor of the city of Brookhaven, be
and he hereby is authorized to pre-
pare and execute contract with the
said Feitel Well Co., of New Orleans,
La, to sink inch we'll at the Power
House in accordance with the agree
ment made and entered into by Mr..
Ike Feitel, its General Manager, with
this Board as hereinbefore stipulated
and set forth on the further condition

Rev. X. N. Purser Accents

Rev. X. Fl. Purser was Brookbayen
visitor lust Friday aud spent the day
with the Baptist congregation, entering
with spirit into the splendid meeting
at the Baptist Church and witnessing
its close that night. The Bap-
lists at this place and also Bro. Pur.
ser's many personal friends of other
denominations we're delighted to hear
that he had accepted the call as pastor
to the local church. After passionate
of twenty years at Wesson, Bro. Pur.
ser was regretfully given up by that
congregation; and, subsequently, upon
the fact becoming known among the
people that he was an available pas
tor, he was the recipient of a number
of calls, and only decided to enter the
field at Brookhaven after mature de-
liberation and earnest seeking for
spiritual guidance in the matter. He
will move his family to this place as
soon as suitable residence can be Sc.
cured, and will occupy the pulpit in
the Baptist church at IL o'clock, the
first Sunday in October.
