LOCAL MINISTER'S
PASS.RESOLU7IONS

For some time past, it may have
been noticed, nearly every marriage
notice appearing in the local publica-
lions, have ended in the same way,
1.-THE ceremony was performed by Rev..
-,'' the same pastors name nearly
always being in evidence.
The matter has grown so seriously
like trust or monopoly, that the
other ministers of the city have taken
action as will be seen by the following
preambles and resolution.
Whereas; The opposition to monopo-
lie in this country has become SO pro-
nounced as to call forth efforts, both
State and National, for their suppress
sion and
Whereas; Such spirit is in violation
of the Golden Rule which sayeth that
"As We would that men should do unto
you, do We even SO unto Them" and,
Whereas; Such disposition comport-
eth not with the brotherhood of man
and hurteth much the bank account
of the other fellow, therefore,
Be it Resolved; That this body of
pastors of Hattiesburg do raise their
voices in solemn protestations against
such spirit of greed:
| Resolved Q; That we do here AND
now demand of one E. J. Currie. that
he desist from such monopoly in the
matrimonial market or that he show
forth good reason why he may not de
sist from his hurtful practices.
! Resolved 8; That if he do not desis
from such educational proceedings
that as body, we will in the COMING
election cast our votes against hin
and for his opponent in the race 70
County Superintendent of Education
and furthermore, we will proceed t
the removal of his picture from tn
Hall Of Fame on Front street.
When these preambles and resolr
ton become old enough to be properl
engrossed they will probably find thei
way to the gentleman referred to 8
that he can prevent wholesale lant
slide of votes to the opposition.
