The attendance and interest reached
high water mark with Tupelo Pythians
on last Monday night, and it was good
to be there. With possibly a single
exception all the officers were IN their
places promptly at the appointed hour
and much important business was dis
posed of. The grist of rank work was
above the average and that part of the
feast Of good things was begun by ad-
vancing Page Lindsey Trice to the
Rank Of Esquire, and surely the man
that fails to be made better by that
ritualistic treat mus be veritable
stick. Esquires Chas. johnson and S.
E. Reed were reported in waiting ano
following were duly GRATED members
of the chivalric degree of Knight.
Having had the veil lifted exposing te
the vision the beauties of Pythianism,
and then in succession 1.-The flint mill
and "the rocky road" these two have
stood among their peers and received
the welcome always extended worthy
Knight. Other applications are on file
and the good work will continue. The
next meeting will be of unusual i'm
portance, and every Pythian who fails
to be on hand will have cause to regret
it. Business of specially urgent ane
important character relative to the dis
trict meeting set for Oct 9th will come
before the body, and the presence of
every member is desired.

Petition for Pardon

To the Honorable James K. Vardaman,
Governor of the State of Mississippi
Your petitioner, John McAllister,
would most respectfully represent and
show the following state of facts as the
basis of petition for pardon:
That at the August term 1905 of the
Circuit Court of Lee county, Miss, he
was convicted on a charge of murder
and sentenced to the penitentiary for
life. That he was CONVICTED solely on
the testimony of lot of negro witness
es who were totally unreliable and the
undersigned petitioners believe that he
was unjustly convicted and has suffered
unjustly. Premies considered, your petit
tioners prays that pardon be granted
him.
Respectfully submitted. this Aug. 8,

BURGLARS ENTER
BALLARD'S STORE
Fill Several Suit Cases With Finest
Goods in the House and
Make Their Skld00.

Burglars made a successful
raid on the store of the Ballard
Dry Goods Company at this place
last Saturday night, entrance be-
ing effected through one of the
rear windows in the alley. One
of the bars was priced out of the
window sill and bent so as to
make a hole large enough to ad-
NIT the body of a large man, and
get several large and well-flled
suit cases through. While it is
not known exactly how much
was taken, owing to the fact
that the company carries such
an enormous stock, still the val
ue is closely estimated at from
$1,000 90 to $3.50. 90 and consisted
largely Of the finest mems and
women's shoes, several suit cas-
es, mems clothing, shirts and
women's dress goods. Just
what time of night the burglary
took place there is no intimation
Of knowledge. It is supposed,
however, that the perpetrators
took advantage of the heavy rain
which began falling about mid
night and continued until about
daybreak. The burglars evident
ly were not experts, as shown
by the clumsy manner in which
they worked on the bars-sever-
al places being cut about one
eighth of an inch deep and aban-
doned and a new one commenced.
The bar was never sawed entire
ly in twain, but priced out
and bent as stated above. From
the selections made it would
seem that it was someone we'll
acquainted with the stock. How
ever, they made we'll their "get-
away" and left no tracks be-
hind them, and if not disturbed
by the John Laws" will have
enough to "clothe the whole
family" for the coming winter,
which is predicted to be a Sc
we're one.
This is more evidence that ev-
cry county in the State should
be supplied with a kennel of
good blood hounds, we'll trained
and ready for any emergency.
The blood hound is the mortal
enemy and terror to the assassin,
rapist, burglar and evil doer, and
wherever there is a pack of this
breed of dogs the atmosphere is
not very refreshing and the eli
mate is by no means healthy for
the criminal.

ositlon a success was fully dem.

thusiastic crowd that assem- led
at the opera house Friday eye
ming to see the Kids" in min
strel, and that the presentation
was bowling success from tart
to finish and measured up to the
expectations of everyone pres
ent was fully evidenced by the
continued and deafening encores
througout the entire entertain
ment.
The program was nicely ar
ranged and carried out without
hitch or flaw, each and ev-
eryone of the performers pre-
senting their respective parts
with remarkable talent and with
much credit to themselves.
AS a matter of course, some
had a shade the best of it, so
far as vocal talent and negro di
alect is concerned, but the short
comipgs in this respect were SO
completely covered by the tai
ented ones that it was scarcely
noticeable. Suffice to say, how
ever, it was a spanking good
show all the way through-the
boys did themselves proud and
the people of Tupelo are proud
of them and their determination
tc have first class band.
The orchestra was really
grand and put up music of a very
high class, a quality that would
do credit to larger cities and pro-
fessionals.
How much was realized from
the performance over and above
expenses, we have not been in
formed, but it can be safely said
that the boys have a neat little
sum laid away for seed" any,
way, for all of which they are
exceedingly grateful to the pro-
gressive and public spirited peo-
pie of the best town in Missis-
sippi.
To show their appreciation Of
the large patronage given them
on their benefit performance, and
at the earnest solicitation of a
large number, they have consea-
ted to repeat the performance
tonight, FRIDAY, Sept. 20, at
the opera house, the proceeds to
go to the erection of a Y.M.C.A.

changed to a certain extent, and

things is the burning question Of
the hour. So the Soul Winners
Band is intended to bridge this
chasm. 1t is an organization in
which Chrirtians are banded to-
gether in an association, having
a president, vice-president, Sec
retary and treasurer, and work.
ing largely through committees,
and meeting regularly at stated
times, and having for it's object
especially the salvation of the
lost. 1t is nice and pleasant
thing, yea a glorious thing, to
be saved ourselves and to have
an assurance of it day by day;
but it is much more glorious to
be the means of saving others:
You know Jesus said, 1t is
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive," =" and we can have a verif-
cation Of this by relieving the
wants of those in distress and
want. The blessing that comes
to the giver is of a sweeter and
higher class than that enjoyed,
by the one whose necessities are
relieved.
1t has been ascertained that
the secret of success is personal
contact. If the preacher or
teacher makes appeals from the
pulpit or the rostrum, and from
this appeal alone depend upon
results. but little will be accom-
plished. But when your and the
personal appeal of a friend, or
many friends, in the same direc-
ton you are likely to see good
results. So the purpose of the
Soul Winners Band is to keep
an organization always ready to
work, and a number of men, wo-
men, boys and girls. consecrated
to the service of the Lord and of
humanity, anxious to assist the
fallen, support the weak and
whisper advice into the ears of
lost sinners, calling them from
sin and folly.
This organization keeps in
touch with the lost by means of
committees, and the Band is kept
posted by their reports from time
to time. A list of those who are
unsayed is made and kept by the
secretary in his record, and they
are visited from time to time by
special parties appointed for the
purpose, and all who have no
church connection are urged to
attend the weekly meetings of
the Soul Winners. Here at these
meetings the members are pres
sing home upon sinners the fact
that Jesus came to call sinners
to repentance and not the right
eous. Now, these Bands are in
tended to be organized in all the
towns and communities through
out the length and breadth of
the land, and to be kept at work
always, winter and summer, all
through the year, and never to
become discouraged for want of
seeing results, leaving that with
God. From this statement you
can readily see what may be ac-
complished in the way of driv-
ing home the truth to the hearts
of the lost. No other thought
should interfere with this. This
is a union work for all Christians.
Let them lose sight of all contro-
versy and join heart and hand
lin one long and strong effort to
save sinners. AS a means of
building up and strengthing the
young convert there is nothing
more potent. In the meetings
held by the Bands are expert
enced Christians. ready to give
any advice and assistance to

STREET CLEANING
PROPOSITION
Is One That Now Faces the
City Council.
More Money Is Needed to Keep the
Streets Clean During the
Present Summer.

IAN effort will be made duringsth
next few weeks to have xhe city
council provide for an increased ex-
pendhure for the street cleaning 1e-
partment of the city. 1t is hoped
that council will double the arlual
appropriation of $4,000.
For the past six years, the city
has annually spent $4,000 in cleaning
the paved streets, and taking care OF
the unpaved th"roughfares. In that
time, the mileage In paved streets
has practically doubled, and as a re-
suit that streets have been neglected
to an extent because the street CON-
missioner did not have the money
ascesssry for employing additional
lnborer,.
The spring cleaning Is now at
hand, and extra men are working on
the streets. getting rid Of the ac-
emulation of the winter. The street
flusher is valuable help, and 1t is
hoped that several more OF them
will be purchased in the next year
by the city.

The county commissioners think
is that the tree which stands on the
finding fault with the board because
~ permitted the management of the
Family theatre to put bulletin
board on the corner of the court
house lot. They also deny that they
"got their pockets full of passes," as
some county official has alleged.
"The board doesn't think that to
permit these boards being placed on
the corner. 1t in the least mars the
beauty of the place." said w. H.
Holverstott, one of the commits sion
ers, today. ''The fact of the matter
Is that the tree which stands OH the
southwest corner of the lot has al
ways been used for posing bills
and bulletins. II 1t had never been
used for that purpose, we would new
e. have thought of permitting these
boards to go up. The theater man
agement wanted to put boards on the
! other trees, but we refused to per-
NIT this, for we know It had ne7er
been customary"
There are some county officials
and business men who say tsat II
one theater Is permitted tot put
up bulletins. others In the city
will demand the same privilege.
The commissioners say that the
management of the Family theater
has agreed to light the southwest
corner of the court house lot with
electricity in consideration of being
allowed to put up it's bulletin.
