Good Religion.

The following expression of Justice
Brewer, OF the United States Supreme
court on the subject of religion will
be found to be good reading:
II don t care anything about creedS-
| haven't time to quibble over theolO-
gical questions. If l had the leisure
| fancy should find theology to be
good intellectual exercise. / could
be conf in a Baptist, PreSby-
terian, Methodist or Catholic church
and even Jewish synagogue. l was
reared Congregationalist, but if my
father had been an Episcopalian, L
suppose Id been one. | believe in
the creed of Jesus Christ, the parable
of the gOou Samaritan and the Golden
Rule. No more is necessary on this
earth. | fully accept the teaching of
Christ's life, although l am afraid l
don't always live up to them. But
life is the most important human
question-to be kindly and helpful.
There is no theology in binding up
mans wounds giving him wine and
oil, leading him to an inn and saying
to the landlord, Take care of him:
and whatever thou SpendeSt more,
when l come again will repay thee.
That is not theology; it is only reli-
giOn."

Unwilling of Confederate Monument al
Duck Hill.

On Wednesday morning last quite a
crowd Of veterans, Daughters of the
COnfederates and others interested
gathered into the town to be present
at the unveiling of the monument
recently erected to the 18th Miss
issippi infantry at that place. Col. j.
r. Binfo rd, who has been the leading
spirit in the movement to raise this
memorial to our parents fallen on
sleep, act. d as master of ceremonies.
When the assembly had gathered
close around the marble shaft, Col.
BinfOrd'S little granddaughter with
inimitable grace pulled aside the
drapery and revealed the monument
to the eXpectant crowd. She then
gave The Conquered Banner by Rs an.
Her recitation was followed 10y read
ingS by two other charming little
ladies, who We'd with their cOmpan-
ion in doing honor to the occasion.
At this point, Col Binford presented
young Mr.. Gillespie, youthful orator
of no mean ability who in turn intro
duced in becoming manner and most
fitting phrase GOV. James *. Varda-
man more tor the living than for the
dead, standing as evidencing the
spirit of patriotism burning in the
living breasts Of our cOuntrymen and
as torch to kindle the same Senti
ment in the hearts of those who come
after. When he had completed his
masterful effort in round after round
applause, the whole assembly betook
themselves to the shady grove where
a boRntlful dinner was spread.
After dinner cur own tOwnSman
Col. O. f. Bledsoe held for a time
the lively interest or the croAd.
Possibly the remembrance of the
whole day dearest to the veterans pre-
sent will be the warm handclaSp and
heart to heart talks of old friends
who had messed to ogether in the day
that tried mems souls.
Col. Binford was very generous in
his recognition of the assistance rem
dered him in this laudable enterprise
by the Dixie Chapter of Grenada.
The next annual meeting will be
held in Grenada.

AN AGED WOMAN GROWS
Flesh Increases From 140
to SIS Pounds
ARE STARTLED
Started Seven Years Ago, Skin Rec
sembles In Color and Thickness

Large as rIan's Body.

NEW YORK, September l0.---MrS.
Julia Felt, aged SO years, of Brooklyn
is declared by physicians here to be
suffering of that peculiar disease
known to the medical profession here
as elephantiasis.
Before the woman was attacted by
disease some seven years ago, she
weighed I49 pounds. Today .she
weighs exactly 525 pounds and is
growing lin weight and Size daily.
Her skin is coloring, growing thick
and hard, resembling that lof an ele-
phant. The first manifestations Of
the disease was about seven years ago,
as stated, when she began suffering
from the itching on one leg The leg
Swelled later.
This swelling seems 10 have become
general over her body and two years
ago she tipped the scales at $50

imagined when it is stated that one

If an ordinary sized man.
1t cannot be stated at this time
whether she will recover or not. The
woman is so heavy now that she cannot
walk and it almost takes a, derrick to

Mr. Levin Lake Celebrates Doth Birth day

Mr. Levin Lake celebrated his Goth
birthday at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Richard n. Owen. in this city
last Saturday. Mr.. Lake was born in
Dorchester county Maryland, in 1917.
He came to Mississippi in 1884 and
with but ten years exception, which
was spent in Tennessee and Ketucky,
has lived the whole Of the time in
Mississippi. He travelled for more
than thirty years, twenty seven OF
which he was in the employ Of Ar
mour & Co., of Chicago. While with
them he travelled two thousand miles
every month and has no doubt ridden
more miles On the railroad than any
other living Mississippian. He has on
ly been off the road about three years.
Before retiring he secured the place
he was filing for his grandson, Levin
L. Owen.
Mr.. Lake is man Of deep piety and
has been an earnest worker in the
Methodist church since childhood. He
has always Deena man of consistent liv
ing and correct habits. He is rich in
"reminiscences, and it's treat indeed
t., hear his narration of the incidents OF
the 3O'S and discuss men and happen
ings long ante-dating the Civil War.
Few men are better posted on the eccle
siastical as we'll as the political history
of Mississippi. Mr.. Lake is hale
and hearty and in thorough posses
sion of all his mental faculties.
He was one of the early settlers OF
Grenada, but for twenty five years or
more he has resided in Oxford. His
wife died about two years ago, since
which he has spent most OF his time
with his daughter, Mrs. Owen, in
Grenada.

This is land Of cuttOn and cotton
will always be the great money crop
OF this section, but there are many
siguS and tokens which indicate that
the question of how to keep the money
derived from this corp at home, is re-
ceying careful attcution. In other
words the planters are lgettng tired
of paying out the money received for
cotton, for corn. hay, and meat raised
in the west. The question Of diver
Sified ia arming is being discussed free
ly, showing thGt the old idea of plant
ing is gradually undergoing change.
Particularly is this true of the young
er men in the. business of farming,
and it Is no unusual thing to hear
them discussing the benefits of small
farms, we'll cultivated, truck gardning
chicken raising, hog, eggs etc. 1t
will be happy day for all when our

The population of the new State of
Oklahoma, according to the special
census returns that are nearing COM
pletion, will be somewhat under l.
500, 900. The two territories in 1909
numbered 100, 900 inhabitants.
Though their growth has not been so
great as the Sanguine Oklahomans ex-
pected, it is without parallel in any
of the territories that have formed
States. Indeed, Oklahoma has today
a population exceeding that in 1900
