OUR GRATITUDE.

1t would not be necessary to tell
any man who knows anything at all
about the newspaper business that
The Progress is enjoying an unpre-
cedented large patronage for town
the size of Hattiesburg, and there
are features about the grand show
made in this regard which marks an
innovation, since in the list there are
firms arrayed who were never known
to advertise before, and il asked why
this new departure they will not hes
itate to say that it is intended as
much as tribute to the business vim
that has been put behind the affairs
of The Progress as it is for any hope
of self-aggrandizement that the pat
ronage was given.
In word, The Daily Progress has
canght the town. 1t has gotten
every body to talking, including the
ladies. who are enthusiastic in their
praise, and of course these evidences
of appreciation and good will all tend
to enervate those behind the papers
affairs. aud we have but to say that
in the face of such reception as the
PAPER is receiving the spirit of those
in interest is not such as will be
castisfled for the improvement in SER
vice to stop where 1t is.
With a million thanks and kind
wishes for ali who have contributed
to the prosperous face the paper is
showing, and with no malice for those
who have seen fitSsto withhold their
support, we here pledge a greater
effort than ever to keep the npapar
abreast of Hattiesburg- worthy
champion of her cause in any future
aspirations she may have, or growth
she may assume.

On the subject of the new idea OF
churches to advertise that has come
up recently an exchange says that
Milwaukee pastors a,e in favor of
advertising their churches in the same
manner that business men advertise
their business. And why shouldn't
they" A conservatively worded ad-
vertisement of church and its at
fractions in a respectable paper could
certainly do no harm, and on the 9TH
er hand, might be the means of in
ducing several people to attend who
otherwise never would see the INSIDE
of church. The saving of soul or
two is worth more than the idle crit
icism of irresponsible people

The Natchez Democrat puts it
strong in the following notice,
speaking its opinion of the back tax
disgrace: Under the laws of Mis-
sissippi the state is compelled to es-
tablish the guilt of negro indicted
for burglary or murder. and provide
q lawyer for his defense; but when a
widow or any respectable citizen is
assessed by the state revenue agent the
law compels the party assessed to
prove that the assessment is errone-
Gus. At least that is the way the
law is operated in this city and
county"

The yicksburg Herald pays the fol-
lowing pretty tribute to the memory
of Mrs. Emma Booth Tucker, the
Salvation Army leader, who was kill

" alluTements, or appeals to selfish
self righteousness. The army is scant
on the words Of doctrine-the arti-
cles of its creed are few indeed. 1t
is made up Of men and womer who
have given literal life to the advice
the Savior gave the Young men who
went away soIiowing. Their worship
is tangible only through works of
simple, open air Christianity. As a
religion to live by it is not much
nobody ever heard of Salvation
priestess amassing millions. or of a
Salvation general going round calling
himself Elijah, owning banks and
factories. But for a religion to die
by the Salvation Army's is as "a
pearl of great price In the. pas
sage of the Valley of Shadows. there
is no earthly potentate who might not
we'll envy one who has led the hosts
of his army through such campaigns
as mark the career and hallow the
memory of Mrs. Emma Booth Tucker. !"

Somalis, after heavy rife FIRE, charged
repeatedly with their horsemen and
