the lecture on "The Spanish Armada~
delivered by the famour lecturer, DR..
H. A. Jones. the noted evangelist end
orator, who 10 now in charge Of the
evangelic work OF the Mississippi
Synod, and the talk was much enjoy
cd BY all present.
DR.. Jones used as an Introductory to
his lecture an account Of the great part
Providence takes In forming the his
tory Of nations, showing that through
out the history Of the world the hand
of God is clearly discernable in every
important event that built up or tore
down nations.
He then went into discussion Of the
prominent characters during the time
OF the Armada, including Elizabeth,
Charles ", and Philip H., into
lengthy account Of the lives of each,
showing their character, and the
forces that tended to make them what
they were.
The preparation Of Philip II. to make
a captive Of Elizabeth and take Eng
land formed another important FOR
ton of bis discourse.
The description Of the battle between
the Spanish Armada and the English
vessels formed the climax Of bis lee
ture. and the speaker grew more elo-
quent at this point, and gave . most
dramatic description Of the great fight
between the two forces, showing the
desperate manner in which they
fought.
In conclusion DR.. Jones paid a mag
niflcent tribute to the American forces,
showing what difference there was
between the character of the men who
engaged in the great sea fight in the
sixteenth century and those who par.
ticipated in the fight at Manila Bay in
1898 Clarion Ledger,

Confederate General Robert E. Lee.
We were grateful for the decorous at
tention of our cultured audience dur

lighted with the sweet rendering Of

gers and accompanist. The greatness
and grandeur Of r. E. Lee was attest
cd by our townsman, J. L. Lyons, who
personally bore evidence by having
left an arm ON the battlefield Of one Of
General Lees noted battles. We were
honored by the beautiful compliments
paid to the Daughters of the Okolona
Chapter, No. III, U. D. @. by our
speaker. The songs by Mrs. Laura
Murdoch, by their sweetness and
pathos, carried us back to the days
when We were young, gay and giddy,
ere the ruthless hand Of war had left
it's finger prints on our LIES history.
We thank the K. of P,s for the use Of
their hail, but our special thanks are

efficient help and who was go cout-
eous and kind. We thank the ladies
