model increased even more rapidly than

Revival services were begun at the
First Baptist church on last Sunday
by the pastor, Rev. w. f. Roberts.
On Monday afternoon Rev. VIM. j..
Mahoney, of VickSburg, arrived and
assumed charge of the meeting. Mr..
MahOney is a divine Of unusual force
and power, and has been delivering
some very persuasive and convincing
discourSeS on the power Of the spirit
and it's fruits, and the necessity of
seeking salvation from sin. The SER
vices have been well attended at night
and it is hoped that interest in the
meeting may grow until the church
membership of the entire town is
awakened anew to the responsibilities
upon them, and that many new lives
may be led into the fold OF Christ.
There seems to be a religious
awakening throughout the land. In

recently organized to conduct a union
evangelization in the city. Never be-
fore were the people so stirred religi-
ously. The meeting continued for
several weeks and nearly 10, 900 souls
were added to the different churches.
Similar meetings have but recently
been held in New York. Denver, Kan
sas City and other places. Last winter
a union religious organization wrought
a great religious work in London and
Wales.
The meeting in progress here can
accomplish just such like results il
the membership of the town will give
their time and their hearts work to
the services.

daughters of the Lone Star State, and
he and his excellent family have been
valuable additions to Grenada society.
Since coming here he has been en-
gagged in the cotton business and by
his affable and pleasing adj
drefs has made everybody his friend.
Mr.. James Campbell who for several
years was the efficient deputy in the

OF postal matter in a prompt and bust
