Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1906-09-26

An election was held In Zion
City the other day in which the is
sues were fairly drawn between
John Alexander Dowie and Will
bur Glen Voliva, his former pupil,
friend and devoted adherent.
The result OF the balloting was
an overwhelming reputation Of
the founder OF the organization and
the official elevation of a young
adventurer who has usurped the
leadership Of the religious cult.
This marks the end of one Of
the most unique careers Of modern
times. The curtain has been rung
down upon Dowieism, which to
most Of the world was q comedy,
but to those deiuded ones who
have suffered through fanatic ad.
herence to the mountebank meth
DDS OF the bigoted old impostor it
was a terrible tragedy.
1t was Dowie's last stand in
Zion City.
Henceforth he will be a wander
er, never again to enter the city OF
his founding. He will make a
protest against this summary ex.
pulsiOn, but he has lost strength
and heart, and those he has delud.
ed for years have little faith in
him. Dowie acknowledged after
the election that his course was
run. lie will retire to Mexico to
pass the remainder of his days.
II one could forget the unfortu.
nate victims who have died awful
deaths because OF blind faith in
Dowieism; if one could blot from
the memory the cries of agony
that fell unheeded upon Dowie's
ears, and the shady transactions
so multitudinous in which Dowie
has been involved, the end of this
old man would possess elements OF
pathos. But Dowie is not prop.
er subject for sympathy or com.
miseIation. He has come to the
inevitable end, and the world will
be better and happier for 1t. He
will sink into oblivion unmourned
except by devoted few. That he
has escaped criminal prosecution
which would end his days in pris-
on is exceedingly fortunate for
him.
The probable dissolution OF Zion
City is matter OF speculation.
For many months Lively row has
been going on among the leaders
OF the organization, and many
things have come to light that
have served to expose the fraud
and greed of Dowie and the others.
The humber members who paid
the bills gradually had their eyes
opened to the imposition practiced
npon them, and hundreds have
deserted and returned to their old
ways of living. Others who have
lost faith in the whole scheme are
still dwelling in Zion from neces
sity.
That the entire fabric will fall,
and Zion City become only an I'm
pleasant memory, is the opinion
of some Of the hest informed OF the
cOlOnists. With the shattered de
lusiOns OF Dowieism may come
fortunate end to one of the most
colossal religious frauds conceived
In modern times.

CORRECTED NOTICE.

In last weeks issue the favorable
mention given Prof Byron Montgom-
cry, by our wide awake Gradyville cor
respondent, was divided in making the
form, and in justice to both, we repro
duce it as it should have appeared.
Prof. Byron Montgomery closed his
second term of theaching in the commu-
nifty near here last Saturday, at the
school house known as Big Creek. His
pupils have all advanced rabidly in their
studies during this term, and it goes
without saying that Byron knows exact
ly what to do in the school room, and to
show the appreciation his patrons had
for his manner of teaching, there was
bountiful supply of everything that
was good served on the school yard the
last day of school. This term will long
be remembered not only by the pupils,
but by the patrons.

A BOON FOR THE SHOPPER.

a strong hold upon women, and novel

close purse and two compartments.

MASONIC BANQUET
To Be Given December the 2Sth,
in the Gararge.

The committee in charge of the Ma.
sonic banquet have decided on Friday
evening. December the 18th, and have
selected the Garage as the most suita.
ole and convenient place for this great
ingathering
The program has been arranged anc
if carried out, which we have no doubt
it will be, it will be one of the most
enjoyable fraternal gatherings ever
held in this part of the state. The
menu will be ample to satisfy hunger
or tone up the varied appetite of the
most delicate who will be fortunate
enough to attend. The Bill of Air
will be in charge of toast.master, who
knows how to make things pleasant,
but number of subjects have been Sc
leeted and assigned to bretheren who
know how to develop them for profit
and pleasure.
The building selected is in a quiet
place, and admirably adapted for such
a gathering. Invitations are now being
mailed and if the Companions and the
bretheren fail to respond it will be very
disappointing to the resident members
of both the Chapter and Lodge.
