Times Crop Report for

Brookhaven, July 3l.-The cotton
prospects have very greatly improved
during the last thirty days, and es-
pecially during the last ten. The
plant is still small and about two
weeks behind the corresponding date
last year, but is clean and fruiting
well. Ia fact, the plant is unusually
full for its size. Recent showers have
set it to growing vigorously and coun
teracted the stunning effects of the
hot and dry weather. There is no
shedding and no bell worms of conse-
quence reported. The acreage is about
the same as last year.
Old corn is fully p per cent. short
of an average crop on account Of
drouth and hot winds, which prevailed
the early and middle portion of the
month. Young corn is doing we'll, and
with no backset hereafter will make
full crop. Times Democrat Special.
During the last week or ten days
the editor of The LEADRR has conyers
ed with number of farmers who say
that lice and "honey dew are injur-
ing cotton good deal in spots. 9th
erwise their reports correspond with
the tbs report. Last week there
were heavy rains southeast of Brook
haven near Pearl River, which did con
siderable damage to the crops, espe-
cially along creeks and branches.

EDITOR LEADER Referring to the
communication published in your last
issue, will say on behalf of Union
Church that our church is preparing
proper manner and is anxious to do
SO. Delegates and visitors will be eX-
tended a cordial welcome both By our
members and other citizens of the
community. Our house of worship
will also be in thorough repair by the
time the Association meets. That a
few of our members have asked for
letters lately and withdrawn from us
is true, but we are happy to believe
the Lord has not done so. Therefore,
we protest against the injurious re
ports which have gone ont about the
condition of our church and ask that
the Executive Board of the Asssocia-
ton will entertain no proposition to
change the place of meeting.

Rev. Il. j. Boone, who is a member

to say that there is no sufficient ground
for the Associations not meeting at
Union, and it is understood "a majori-
ty, if not all the members of the Ex
ecutive Board take the same View of
the proposition. This ought to set the
question raised by our correspondent
last week, at rest.

What Is N ReyiyaIe

Amos r. Wells. in the Christian En-
deavor World.
Revival? When the atmosphere
Grows tense, like air around a bier?
When deacons pray in awful tones,
And not a hymn but ends with groans /?
When children go to church in fright =?
When meetings last through half the
night?
When mild sensations overlap,
And no one knows what next may hap?
Revival? No! Such signs as these
Have vanished with dead centuries.
But this is a revival now:
When Christian hearts in longing bow;
When Christian voices boldly dare
The frank appeal the fervent prayer;
When Christian hands are quick to
greet
The first Christian man they meet;
When songs in earnest pleading rise,
And hope is shining in our eyes,
When thoughtful spirits look within
And cleanse their hearts from secret
sin;
When love is eager to relieve
The souls that tremble, doubt, or
grieve;
When homes, with happiness aglow,
Are like a bit OF heaven below;
When business men deal honestly,
And lives are lived in purity;
'Tis then. o Christ of God! tits then
Thy Spirit moves the souls of men;
IT'S then REVEALS come, and bless
The sin-sick world with righteousness
For not in angry thunder blast,
Or crashing wave that bends the mast
Or earthquake shock that rends the
ground
Are natures mightiest forces found
But where the sunshine pours its grace,
And rain makes glad some thirsty
place,
And little seeds all silently
Expand TO grass and flower and tree.

"Dr. Dowie is strictly orthodox. He

DR.. Dowie presented Mother Stewart
with a beautiful lace dress pattern,
which is from the first web in the Unit
