MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
NOTES OF PAST AND CURRENT EVENTS.
By J. l.. POWER.


The Holmes County Progress is now
under the full control of Mr.. Edgar G.
Harris, who very gracefully says, in
assuming charge, that he has no
higher ambition than to follow in the
footsteps of his predecessor, the es-
teemed and honored H. ]. Reid. The
paper is undoubtedly what a county
paper should be-of interest to every
town and settlement in the county.
1t Is the neighborhood news that the
people want and look for in a county
paper, and they should get 1t, in re-
liable form, fresh and regularly writ
ten. The people look to the great city
dailies for telegraphic news, and such
papers as the Progress, well edited,
dealing with State matters, telling
only the most important news Of the
week out in the great world, and Civ.
ing the rest of its space to matters of
interest to its subscribers, will surely
meet with the favor of every family
in the county.
The Kings Daughters-one of the
most beautiful as well as useful Of all
the orders of ONE who labor to
help their fellow creatures-will hold
their annual convention this veal,
from Nov. 10 to 20, in one of the beau
tiful cities of our sunny South-Sa-
vannah. 1t is earnestly desired that
Mississippi's noble band be we'll and
fully represented at this meeting, not
only "for the good hat they can do"
but because of the encouragement and
cheer they will gain from the hun
dreds they will meet there who, also,
labor in His Name" Any member
of the order in this State who desires
to attend, should notify the efficient
State secretary, Mrs. Mary Thomp-
son Howe, Jackson, not later than
Nov. 1.
Jackson will have the pleasure of
entertaining a number of delegates to
the Sunday School Institute, which
meets on September IS, 10 and 20.
The names Of all delegates who in.
tend being present should be sent to
Mr.. ]. c. Cavett, so that homes may
be provided for them.
