THE SWEETWATER MEETING.
The unusually heavy tax on our

to carry over some matter and this
fell upon an account of the Sweet

now take pleasure in mentioning,

pillars of that Church we CLEAN the
following points touching the meet
ing. The good order was especially
noticeable. No evidence of drinking.

The other occurred at Big Greek. The
total number of candidates was

with a full list of their names 50 will
not attempt naming. Bro. Brooks
must have had his work honored by
the Holy Spirit The good brother
who favored us with the account of
the meeting told us that The Heaen-

meeting, the results bearing witness
of the Seal 1t does our heart good
to write up an account of the
Triumph of the Gospel at any time
and touching the efforts of any Faith.
Sectarian bigotry has never infected

God that it never will. It's our ear

We are not running a religious sheet;
on the contrary a secular one, but
its our wish to report all manner of
news, and there is no greater and
should be no more welcome news to
any of us, than the activities of the
Churches. So long as we dictate the
policy of this paper, that long will
we devote a proper share of space to
noting the local movements of
Christianity.

MCLEOD TIMELY AND STRONG
LY URGES, COOPERATION
IN THE SCHOOL INTEREST.
AN EARNEST APPEAL IN THAT BEHALF
FROM HIS TRENCHANT PEN.

FROM HIS TRENCHANT PEN.
Leakesville, Oct. I, 19O7.-Mr. Edi-
tor:-The Leakesville Graded High
School opened this AIN. with a very
bright outlook. The teachers seem
to be able to fill their different places
with advantage to the pupils and
with credit to themselves and itsure-
ly behooves all parties interested in
the success of the building up of a
good successful School at this place
to give the work every encourage
ment possible. Unitedly, all togeth-
er, as one man not by talk alone but
by our acts. .4s
Our pocket-books must open freely
and cheerfully, on every occasion
where necessary to the success of
the school. Too much talk often does
more harm than good especially
fault-fnding talk. There may be mat
tiers In regard to the management of
the School in the future that ought
to be corrected That is, some one
may have grounds for complaint, if
SO let him or her not make it public,
but 90 to the proper authorities, and
make their complaint SO that it can
be Investigated and corrected if it
exists, and the public or the pupils
know nothing about the complaint
having been made.
There are always few croakers in
Church and School work and one
chronic-croaker can do more dirt than
five or six good men can undo. We in
this country know a great deal about
oxen, and we know that one little
sharp backed OK, can hinder and balk
a team of II oxen, and if he is kept
in the team, in most cases, he will
ruin the whole business. The best
thing to do with such an OK is to
take the yoke off, turn him loose and
turn him out and tell him to go the
woods. In school matters every one
interested should pull together as
one man, in the direction of success
and should there unfortunately be a.
nv crOakers, do them like the OK, let
turn them out and pay no more at
tention to them, and let the good
ones keep pulling evenly and togeth-
err, and success will be our reward
and the croakers will have to admit
in the end that some things can be
done without them. There is no rea-
son that [ can see, why we can not
have as fine school at Leakesville
as any where in the State. We have
an open territory to draw from
| There must be at least from 300 tt
500 children i n ten miles of this
place that ought to be in gooc
school for a longer term than the
common Public Schools of the Coun
| ty can give them, and we know thai
most of the parents O.
thesse CHI i ldren would patrOnizt
Ischool of hi CHER gra d {
and better facilities if one was being
successfully carried on near them
Then by all means lets have it, let u
take hold of the School With all oul
might with a united effort, and worl
watch and pray, then if we don
succeed; then work, watch and pra.
again and again. until success crowns
our efforts. Thus we will soon have;
school that will be an ornament t.
South Mississippi. Such can be dow
and we only need united constan
brotherly effort on the part of al
parties concerned to get it.

THE METHODIST MEETING.

The Methopist Revival Meeting
opened at Leakesville Thursday
night of last week. The opening
guns were fired by Rev. w. W. Perry
the pastor. The intere5tin the meet
ing was rather of alistless order until
about Tuesday, when under the Wig
curious shelling of Rev. Jno. W. Ram
sey, the visiting preacher, things
began to move out some. Ramsey

batteries chiefly at the Church mem
bership and has hurled a lively lot of
canister into that quarter. He halls
from Scooba He has been doing in
this as in other years a great deal of
Revival work, though he is in the
active itinerancy and not the evan
gelistic ranks. He stresses the
HOnoring of the Holy Spirit and the
importance of personal work. He
has a smooth delivery, words and
phrases course easily from his lips,
bespeaking the training for such a
flow by this evangelical labour he has
| followed. He hasn't a very strong
voice, but by tactful outstanding, has
it capable Of eXerting to muchtension.
His earnest efforts after the saving
of souls is not to be denied, and under
favorable circumstances, it strikes us
that he would wrought nightly for

and one more accession was gotten.

to the service, it now lends all the
aid possible and sends some of its
