The Bread Of Life.

It Is a remarkable fact that with all the
improvements of the present genera
ton, corr we grow to-day is identical
with that of Bible times. Gods food to
mankind was perfect then, and is per-
feet still. The sheaves Of Joseph
we're similar to. the cor OF the pres
ent day, and in each case God has been
the giver. This is a fitting illustra-
ton Of the bread Of life which does
not perish. So is it with the love of
Jesus Christ. 1t is suitable for all
ages and all chimes. All races may love
Him. and the whole world participate
In His blessings.

DR.. Watkins Work.

Rev. A.. +. Watkins, Of Jackson,
who has charge of collecting the
S5,00o,00 fund that the Methodist
Church of the South is now engaged
in raising Tor the support OF old and
superannuated preachers of the
Methodist Church, their wives and
widows, has just returned from a
two months tour OF the Methodist
conferences of the Middle States. DR..
Watkins visited the Methodist con-
ference of Kentucky, and the confer
ences of West Virginia, of Missouri,
and of ST. Louis. He reports that
his visit to these five conferences was
very successful and that he succeeded
in raising a large sum, that now
swells the superannuated fund to
$4,000, which sum, though a long
ways from $4,000, 900, is large fer
the length of time the church has
been engaged in raising it.

Drifting Toward Corporations.

There is a noticeable trend in
Mississippi just now among the bust
nessnen and everything is running
into corporations. Formerly in this
State there were few corporations
outside Of the banks and the manu-
featuring enterprises, and a num-
Der of the latter were partnerships.
From the present trend it would
seem that the partnership business in
all large enterprises will soon be a
thing of the past.

The Scars of unlove.

Making up MAJ be the best part Of
a quarrel, but it is a sorry substitute for
no quarrel at all. We like to soothe our
selves into thinking that a handsome
apology and expressed penitence leave
things as they were before the unloving
words were spoken. They do not: every
expression OF un;ove leaves a scar tHat
no words or future love can entirely do
away with. The strongest love Of hus-
band and wife, parent and child, is not
proof against such scars; only God and
the one wounded know of the suffering
that may last far beyond the assurance
Of forgiveness spoken through smiling,
taar-6lled eyes.--S. s. Times.

Remarkable Bank Showinps.

Auditor 7. NJ. Henry has given
out some figures which he complied
for a financial publication, which
show the increase in values in this
State during the past few years. The
most remarkable part OF these figures
is the increase in the capital, surplus
and undivided profits Of the State
banks. Mr.. Henry points out that
on MAY 81, 1904, one hundred and
eighty-three banks in their quarterly
statement showed a capital OF 81
66S,0ss, a surplus of $l,3l7,03l,
and undivided profits Of $l,515,974,
while the quarterly statement oil sin
tv-four banks made June 8, 1895,
showed the capital to be $3,387,425;
surplus. S300 1858 undivided profits,
S41S,432, which makes an increase
in the capital stock OF the banks dur
ing the nine years OF $4,2S0,652, and
increase in the surplus for that pc
Rod of $1,016,177, and in the undi-
vided profits of $1,la7,542. The
statement as submitted by Auditor
Henry is as follows:
Complying with your request, 1t
affords me pleasure to hand you be-
low a few figures showing the Wonder.
full increase made by Mississippi in the
last eight years in property valuations.
The increase has been made under sub
s%tantially the same kind of assessment
laws as those in force in 1895, which
shows it to be bona fide, and to repre-
sent a marvellous but healthful growth
of the State.
1t will be noted that 1908 is the as
sessment given of realty, personality
and railroads, hat being the last one
made. The realty assessment is taken
in Mississippi only once every four
years. while personally is assessed
every year. The personally rolls show
an increase over last year of approx
imately SIS, 100000.

taken there would have been a rela-

his little boy asked: Papa, where are
you going?" II ap going to see a little
boy who is very sick; are you not glad
that your papa can help the sick little
boys!" YES" the child replied, its
just like Jesus" This child's remark
suggests both the work and the reward
OF the medical missionary.

Negro Skulls Growing Thinner.

Jim Crawford, a lite pickaninny
living on the Glover Hill plantation,
in Coahoma county. met with a very
unusual death for a negro. He was
engaged in a stick fight with another
boy about his own age named Jim
Robinson. At first they were lightly
tapping each other over the head, but
as the battle progressed the blows
became more violent, terminating
when the Crawford boy was felled
to the ground. He was carried to a
nearby house and died a short while
later. The jury declared that his
death was not due to any criminal
intent. Instances similar to this
that have occurred in the State with
in recent years lead to the conclusion
that the skull OF the negro is growing
thinner.
