The Church Rally.

The Rally at the Leakesville Meth
odist Church, South, Sunday passed
over very satisfactorily to Rev. W.
w. Perry, the pastor, as he perambu7,
lates the streets of our city now with
his face wreathed in smiles Speak
ing seriously it was a successful day
from the standpoint for which it was
called. He tells us that his primary
purpose was to get the country mem
bership together with that of the
town and have general reunion,
some preaching and exercises and
lift small debt upon the church.
Owing to the river being up and cut
ting off some, the attendance was not
as large as would have been had con-
ditions been otherwise, but yet the
house was pretty well filed. Dinner
was spread beneath the cooling shade
of the clump of oaks on the grassy
green hill just off from the house of
worship, and all seemed to find suffic-
lent to appease their appetites.
Some addresses were made. Bro.
Jesse Byrd delivered a good talk on
the Sunday School; Rev. Mr.. Perry
reviewed the history of Methodism
in Leakesville; Rev. J. D. Ellis of
Waynesboro preached one of his in
structive doctrinal sermons. In the
afternoon Rev. Y. D. WeSter6eld de-
livered an address with ''The Har
mony of the Local Churches" as his
theme. For good reasons some other
talks were omitted.
Rev. Perry preached to the children
next. At the night service Rev.
Ellis presented another of his ex-
pository discourses, which was linked
to the one of the morning. Mr. Ellis
is something of a scholar and has a
clear, penetrating and we'll modulated
voice; his delivery is unhampered by
stutterings or repetitions; his flow of
language unbroken and rich; he com
blues excellently the qualities of an
expositor and doctrinaire, unusually
so for an itenerant of his years.

| Tupelo Journal
At $50 a. M, April Both, the words
were said that made Mr.. Hunter Cole
and Miss Faustina Williams husband
and wife. Many relatives and friends
were present to witness the happy
contamination. 1t was an ideal home
wedding at the beautiful home of Mr..
S. S. Harris in West end. The cere-
mony was said by Rev. r. A. Kim
brough.
Mrs. Cole is quite a favorite, and
holds justly honored place in Tupe-
10 society. She is as bright as but
terhy of the sunshine, and her sim
certify and earnestness make sure
foundation for future happiness.
Mr.. Cole is man of sterling quail
tiles, Christian gentleman of worth
and has a good position in one of the
fiourishing businesses in Leakesville,
Miss.
May this well-matched couple car
ry a joyful life between them. May
the wagon of care roll lightly along
as they pull together, and when it
drags little heavy, may they love
each other more and so tighten the
labor.
The out-of-to guests were Mr..
and Mrs. Ed Williams, Newbern,
Tenn, Mrs. Westbrooks, West Point
Mr.. Arthur Whiteside and mother,
Bonneville, Mr.. Cole, father of the
groom, Waynesboro.
The esteem in which they are held
was lavishly expressed by the many
beautiful and useful presents.
The bride wore a most becoming
going. away gown of champaign wolfe,
and carried a boquet of white carna-
tions.
The bride and groom left immedi-
ately after the cesemony for their
new home in Leakesville, followed by
the benediction of their parents and
good wishes of their friends.
Confirming our promise we pres
ent in this issue a reprint giving ac-
count of the marriage of Mr.. & Mrs.
H. B. Cole. 1t will be observed that
her Christian name is Faustina, not
being spelt with finrl 90 as we
had it last week. 1t offords us pleas
ure to do the handsome thing by our
young friends as they enter the mat
rimonial estate, as its a pleasure
rarely ever extended us but once in
their lives: so if We slip up some
times, believe that it's because we
are not furnished with the necessary
informa ton or data.

to make of our correspondents. We
notice growing tendency among

babies that have put in their appear
ance; the weddings that have occurr-

held; the new families moved in OF

such other happenings as will have

Mexico Becomes
 More Lenient

The Mexico supreme court has i.- sued a circular to the state judges calling attention to the circular order oi the federal department, No. I22, of March 7, 1903, in regard to railroad wrecks. This circular says:
 Railroad accidents are not. AS & general rule, intentional on the part ot conductors and engineers, and even when there is negligence attached to them. it is clear that the crime. if there IS any, is but slight. It it is not rational or fair to suppose serious neg igence in accidents in which the engineer himself is not exempt from the danger. The fact that the judicial proceedings nearly always result in the exoneration of the employes gives ground for believing that their deten. iion and imprisonment have been un. justified
 For these ressons the president has been pleased to direct that in railrcad accident cases there shall be no deteu- tion or Imprisonment of employees of the companies unless guilt is proven or indicated in such manner that it is unavoidable. In such cases liberty should be allowed under bond, if the otfense Is bailable one, as is nearly always the case with charges of negli- gence. In cases of this nature pro- ceedings must te taken without loss of moment with view of determir- ing the innocence or guilt Of the em- ployes."

That the Mexican residents of Tombstone are patriotic was amply evidenced last evening and today, when all participated in the celebrs- tion of two historic events dear to Mexican hearts. Yesterday was the 76th birthday of resident Diaz, and today the National Mexican Indepen. dence Day Gage Hall was crowded with dancers, and the Mexican and American flags were prominent in the tasty decorations, while the Mexican tri.colors were worn. by many of the fair senoritas and dancers. The oc- cssion vas 6 gala event and ali par ticipants enjoyed themselves thorough ly. The days festivities are continu- ed today and the natal day duly ob- served.
