No LOCAL MEAT
INSPECTION

The local government inspectors
are having a busy time at the
slaughter house of E. II. Stanton
Co., the only local concern that
does an interstate business and
therefore requiring government in
spection. Markets with only To-
cal trade. and those that ship out
to consumers direct. do not require
federal inspection, but are con-
trolled by city ordinance-as soon
as a competent one is passed. At
present the public is unprotected
by local law
DR.. J.. B. Huff, the inspector in
charge during the absence of
Charles w. Demming, said this
morning that this vicinity was as
free from diseased stock as any in
the United States. Lumpy jaw pre-.
walls but little and there is not
much tuberculosis among the cat
tie. About 20 cases a day of tu-
berculosis In hogs are found.

used and also paper labels. The
government quarantine station is
located at the E. H. Stanton Co
market on Bernard st.
Otto Pittrick. the newly appoint
ed city meat inspector, is having
prepared a meat ordinance which
will not be knocked out by the
courts as the last one was. Several
local market proprietors were ar
rested some months ago by Inspec
tor Adams but won the cases, as the
ordinance was faulty in that it slip
ulated saltpetre as the only pre-
sentative which might be used. The
court held that there were Other

and the ordinance should not limit
their use. Corporation Counse

Words OF Praise
From the Mayor

The HOlcOmb- -SmOOt revival
meeting which has been in pro-
progress in the warehouse for
the past three weeks has been
most marvellous in its effects upon
the city and surrounding coun
try. The gospel has been preach;
ed in power aid simplicity. The
truth has been declared in posi-
tive terms and the spirit has
said to every sinner who has
heard the message, Thou art
the mnan Sacred hymns have
stirred many hearts under the
blessing of the Holy Ghost and
men and women are fleeing the
wrath to come in great mbers.
This is. perhaps, the first time
in the history Of the town when
religion is the chief topic Of con
versation among it's citizens.
The tongue of profanity has been
consecrated by Gods Spirit and
has been made the tongue Of
praise. H aSrts of stone has
been made hearts of flesh, and
the scepter of satan has been
snatched away and Gods King
dom established. Truly, Where
sin abounded, grace doth much
more abound. j. D. DEANS.

The Impressions of
aTeacher at the College.

Ny impression Of Mr.. HOlcOmb
is first of all that he is a gospel
preacher of the highest and most
effectiye type; second, that he
tells the plain unvarnished truth
and does not mince his words in
the telling, that he is absolutely,
perhaps rashly, fearless in his
denunciaation of sin, whether
found in the openly confessed
sinner or in the hypocrltical
church member or official; third,
that he is sweet spirited, most
lovable, deeply sympathetic, con-
secrated, and full of the spirit of
Jesus Christ; fourth, that his ser
mons are full Of gospel truth,
logically thought out, aptly and
beautifully Illustrated, searching;
scathlng, convincing, gentle,
loving, tender, appealing, blessed
of the Holy Ghost in the convic
tion and conversion of the unsav
ed.
Mr.. Smoot is a great singer.
He wears the engaging smile
that won't come off. His patien-
ents, kindness, and good humor
are lnexhaustable. He makes the
people sing. He is director
who directs, a singer with a
matchless voice who sings his
soul into his song, and sings
Heaven into his hearers because
his soal is full of Heaven. We
haye not had his equal here; and
the memory of his soul-tilled and
Heaven laden melodies will ling
er long and sweet in many p
heart drawn heavenward by his
singing.

Lord is MT going to rain black
snakes this weather. but L tell
YOU there are little. invisible
snakes that bite the people when
they talk about the preacher.
And these snakes bit those
Israeltes, and then they began
to die. and Moses forgave them.
Just as good preacher will, and
said, Lord, what shall l do"
and the Lord said, You make a
brazeu serpent. and put it upon
a pole, erect that pole IN the
camp, and call the attention OF
the people to it, and WhosocVer
looks shall live" and Moses did
that. and those that beheld the
brazen serpent were healed.
Now" says Jesus, las Moses
lifted up the serpent IN the Wild
ernnss. even so must the Son OF
man be lifted up" The brazen
SERPENT was God remedy for Is
raelites. Jesus Christ on the
Cross is Gods remedy for the
soul that has been poisoned by
the old serpent's bite. L do not
say it is my remedy do not
say it is the remedy of tine High

| suppose most Of you know
that the 18th verse of the 3rd
ch ,pter of John is the same as
the latter part of the 10th verse
IF the same chapter. THIS being
true, | shall take paltUl ,he l4ih
aud 10th verses for text. "And
as Moses lifted up the serpent in
the wilderness, even SO must the
son of man be lifted up. ." Forced
so loved the world that he gave
his only begotten Son, that who
soever believeth in Him should
not perish, but have everlasting
life"
This is an old text, but it is
but it is one of the most compre-
hensive In the Bible. In its scope
on the human side, it goes down
to the lowest depth of depravity.
On the Divine side, it reaches up
to the heart of God. and brings
Christ down to Calvary's cross.
All that a fellow needs to know
about his moral condition, and
the Gospel of the Son of God can
be found in these verses.
The first great truth which has
to do with our condition is i'm
piled in the first verse. The truth
! is this: We haue all been bitten
by that old serpent, the deuu. You
know in the 18th chapter of Rev
elatlon, the 9th verse, he is spok
en- of as The old dragon, that
should be cast into hell. The old
serpent, the devil"
1t seems that the devil likes
to take upon himself the form of
a snake. When he went into
the Garden of Eden, he appear
ed as a snake, and more than once
he has taken the snake form, and
became a snake when he went
after a sinner. He is the king OF
serpents, and every fellow that
is serving him, as an imp, is one
of the little snakes.
In the snake tribe, there are
many varieties. We have the
black snake, the moccasin, the
rattler, the little green snake.
and all kinds and sorts of snakes.
Now, you old brother, who got
your black upon account OF what
| said about the drug store, you
are a black snake. You slide in
the back door, SO they tell me, and
I do not know how to settle you,
unless I take you, and with
quick jerk, snap your head Off.
In all probability, you will keep
it up until the devil gets you.
Some of you fellows have follow
ed this course until you have
actuallay snakes in your faces.
There is one fellow see around
here that whenever [ look in his
face, it gives me the creeps. He
looks snaky.

these snakes in the wine cup, but
have you ever been bitten by a

J.C. HARDY is IMPRESSED
President of the A. g. M. Col
lege Tells of the Great
Benefits Rendered By
The Holcomb-SmoOt
Warehouse Revival

The influence of the revival
service now being conducted In
Starkville by Messrs. Holcomb
and Smoot, is reaching the whole
county and section. and is per-
meating every household and al
most every heart in the commun-
ity. Not only has the community
life been helped, but the college
life in the A. & NJ, both that OF
the students and of the faculty,
has been stirred as never before.
The churh people of every de-
nomination have been strength
ened and emboldened, the back
sliders have been revived, and
every class of sinners from the
most tender Sunday school boys
and girls to the most hardened
men and women have been con-
verted.
While Mr.. Holcomb's preach
ing and Mr.. Smoot's singing have
anpealed to all, yet they have
done their greatest work with
the young men and boys of the
community. God has used the
preaching as dynamite to break
ND the stony hearts of debauched
men and the singing to SOFT
on and draw them to Christ.
ETERNITY alone can measure the
results of such a meeting as we
are having. The coming OF these
hrothren has made Starkville a
a;fferent town and the College
better place. Better for the
boys and young men who are
here now and better for those
who are to come hereafter. AS
president of the College, having
nearly thousand boys and young
NON under my direction, l feel
tha, I owe great debt of graft
tude to these servants of God for
the help they have rendered IN
tho moral and spiritual uplift OF
W. ", stndent body. They have
ma magnihed Christ in our midst and and
,,ave ~ taught us to be brave in His
Service. 80. ,,os.;,os
