A Just Complaint

The loose cattle roaming over the
commons of our city are making life
miserable for the ladies of Hatties-

and pride themselves upon them.
The Progress telephone has had q
dozen or more messages to come over
it within the past two weeks. to say
nothing of the letters through thu
clause requiring them to give bond
which was in the sum of 1000
In other respects the ordinance will

fore coming here / had heard much
about your place, and before leaving
my home, in southern Illinois, / de-
termined above all things to move
cautiously in deciding upon locating
at any particular place. so [ came
here, no even calling at your real es-
tate exchanges, to stay and see for my
self if what bad heard of your place
was true, so [ have been giving my
self lots of time and am now pretty
well convinced that you have a great
place.
Each day since / have been here 1
have had an opportunity of seeing
and reading your paper, for three
copies are subscribed for by the hotel
and are left promptly by your carriers
each evening and | have found much
in the paper to impress me and | have
certainly enjoyed reading it.
In the paper | see evidences each

Under the above caption and with
the signature of SOutherner, a
communication has been received at
this Office, which, through lack of the
signature of the author and because of
its numerous digressions from the real
subject, we do not publish However,
| it j. ON "A subject of vital interest to
the people of this city, and one which
| is receiving a great deal of til ought
from nearly every one in the city.
The correspondent states that rumors
are circulating to the effect that "cer-
tain of the clergy have en- cred pro-
| test in regard to m members OF their con-
gregation attending the plays given
at the Auditorium, and are alleged to
have gone even further and threaten
ed with expulsion from the church
members who refused TO heed their
warning" How true the latter part
of this statement is we are not pre-
pared to say. but certain it is that a
protest has been entered by promi
nent church members, and equally
certain is it that majority of the
members of these churches have ex-
pressed themselves as being dis'atls-
fed at the position assumed.
The Progress does by no means
wish to enter into controversy with
these Christian and we'll meaning
gentle men, and if it is strictly unca-
nonical for members TO attend these
performances, leG the laws of the
church be enforced. But in this con-
necticn, and in accordance with the
wishes of many noble and Christian
members of these churches, we would
make the statement that it is fact
recognized by the leading d'vines and
educators of the present age that the
drama wields an influence for good
only excelled by the church, and that
their posi- ion towards each other is
not in;mical. The great T. Dewitt
Talmage often attended the Metro
politan theater in New York. The
greatest genius the world has ever
produced was writer of plays and
an actor himself, and he who attacks
the drama attacks the foundation up
on which the best in English liter
ature is founded Al in everything
else, the drama is often perverted.
But to ;ay that the good people OF
Hattiesburg would patronize suffi-
ciently for it's maintenance an immor-
al play is an unjust reflection upon
them which we do not believe any
one would be guilty of in this city.
1t was standing reproach to Hat
tieshurg that no theater existed. and
now that We have one the people are
! unwilling to be prohibited from ar
occasional evenings enjoyment
through the churches regulations.
AS was stated in the beginning, We
do not wish nor intend to enter into
a controversy with the church nor its
members, but all are liable to error
and we believe that when these broad
minded men examine the matter il
its true light we will be sustained il
cur assertion that the drama is {
powerful influence for good.
