Christian workers and sympathizers
from every denomination of Hatties-
burg.
Those already attentive to reli-
gious Obligations are to be reinforced
by all who realize that they should
place their shoulders to the wheel, at
the Main Street Methodist church, are
sure to be instructive and helpful.
Subjects vital in Importance are on
the program. In spite of all seeming
difficulty, our religious welfare is the
guage of the progress of our vigorous
young city. All parents are especially
invited to attend the services. All
friends of good and right are equally
urged to attend. Let the walls all
down between churches, if any exist,
and let US fraternize in the best sense
of the word. Remember the days,
Saturday and Monday, three sessions
each day. A BROTHER.

of its mother but looked in vain, for
the careless mother had come within
range of Mr.. Sharkey's gun, and OF
course there was one bear less in the
swamps and lot of little cubs moth

Mr.. Stubbs said no such case had aris-
