Members of Big Company vii
Spend Two Days and Lots of
Money in Hattiesb urg.

Mr.. S. H. Cohen, a we'll known Geor-
gia newspaper man, for many years on
the editorial staff of the Augusta
Chronicle, was in the city this morn
ing proclaiming the greatness of the
Al G. Fields Greater Minstrels, with
which he is now connected.
The Field minstrel will be in Hat
tiesburg Monday evening, October &c.
In fact the show will arrive Sunday
morning and the entire troupe, COM
posed of some fifty men, will spend
Sunday and Monday in Hattiesburg.
Mr.. Cohen says his show this sea-
son is nearer an approach to a min
strel classic as such ebony-tinted or
ganizations ever have the honor to be.
In its every feature-and their name
is legion-there is evident the attain
ment of higher ideal as result of
conscientious, capable and consistent
efforts which have made AL Field what
he is today, and has been for some
years agone, the monarch of all min
strelsy. The olio, or first part. con-
tains more of beauty, mirth and har-
money than any OF it's subsequest fea-
lures, and yet they are without excep-
lions on an artistic attitude beyond
the reach of the shafts of adverse
criticism in construction, color and
portrayal. Scenically and unsteady
the AL G. Fields Greater Minstrels
is all that could be desired, verita-
BILE classic in the unique field of min
strelsy. The olio represents the

Attend the Club Meeting.

More than 300 Hattiesburg citizens
have enrolled their names as members
of the Bryan and Kern Club and the
News believes that it is the duty of
each and every one of these to attend
the meeting at the court house to-
night.
Hon J. C. Street, presidential cleo
tor, will be present to deliver an ad.
dress, and a number of other able
speakers have agreed to do likewise.
But the important matter of the mo-
ment is campaign contributions. Every
man who attends tonight's meeting
should go prepared to make a dona-
ton of some sort.
The Democratic National Commit
tee is calling for funds. At least
100000 is still needed to defray the
expenses of speakers in the close
states of the North and West, and

A GREAT
sermon
Rev. J. E. Jones is Preaching Some
Excellent Sermons at Bay Street
Presbyterian Church.

The series of meetings that are be-
ing conducted at the Bay Street Pres
byterian Church by Rev. ]. E. Jones,
of Meridian, are attracting good con-
gregations and much interest is being
manifested.
The meeting is announced to con-
tinue until Sunday night anyway, and
it is possible that it will continue
longer.
DR.. Jones is one of the ablest
preachers in the state and those who
| hear him always receive a great deal
of information and are inspired to
greater Christian effort.
Last nights sermon was taken from
the following verses of st. John:
He that believeth on Him is not
condemned but he that believeth not
is condemned already, because he hath
not believed in the name of the only
begotten Son of God-John 3:1S."
He that believeth on the Son hath
everlasting life, and he that believeth
not on the Son shall not see life, but
the wrath of God abideth on him.
John 1886"
DR.. Jones began by saying that a
great many people did not accept the
teachings of the scripture in its en-
tirety; that many people claim to be-
lieve one part and reject others. He
said that God never changed and he
emphasized the fact that the old-time
religion, as taught by the Word. was
the only real religion.
The principal part of the splendid
sermon preached by DR.. Jones last
night was on the subject of unbelief.
OF all the sins of the world there were
none to compare with that of unbeliet.
All other sins might be gathered in
one great mass and they would not
equal that of unbelief. A can might be
honest, charitable and good, but if he
was an unbeliever he could not be
saved. All other sins, except that
against the Holy Ghost. would be for
given, but unbelief would keen people
from heaven. He exhorted his hear
ers to believe on the Son of God and
be saved. 1t was not difficult matter
to believe-let individuals do their
part and God would do His The
greatest thing in life was to believe
and be saved. The matter of creed
was a small matter as compared to
this.
1t is impossible, in short notice.
to tell of the many splendid and en-
nobling things said by this splendid
preacher. His appeals are earnest
and sincere and he is undoubtedly a
great preacher and the people of Hat
tiesburg should 60 out to hear him.

this sum must be realized by volun-
teer contributions from the people.
The protected interests will not con.
tribute to a cause which is pledged
to deprive them of the means by
which they have been fattened and
fed. Not much!
Cheering news comes from all of the
closely contested states. which leads
the News to believe that the battle
is almost won. Let every man who
wants to see William Jennings BRYAN
in the White House do his duty until
the last vote is cast and counted and
the victory is ours.

SMALL EXPENDITURE
ON PART OF CITY
Residents Will Furnish Stag Free and
Teams to Haul It-City Asked to
Put Down CURLING and Cutters.
Council Will Likely Accept.

A representative number of the cit
liens living on North Main street ap-
peared before the city council yester-
day afternoon and made a proposition
about widening and fixing the street
that is well worth considering.
The property owners from the Mis-
sissippi Central north on Main to
Ninth street agree to donate to the
city sufficient land to widen the street
to the same width Of Main on this
side of the Mississippi Central. Not
only this, but they agree to furnish,
free of cost, sufficient Stag from the
fertilizer factory to cover the entire
street and they even offer to furnish
teams to haul the Stag, provided the
city will furnish drivers and feed the
teams. All that is asked of the city
1t to do the work according to the sur
vey and furnish and to put down the
curbing and the cutters.
III 'hiS hahhSl d lHS SlISeI Cdu De
fixed at a very small cost to the
city. 1t is said that the Stag makes a
street almost as good as a paved one
and it is liberal on the part of the
property owners to offer to give of
their lots sufficiently to make a wide
street.
Prof. F. F. Philips, A. A. Montague,
T. ]. Jackson, David Farley. Dan
Farley and Rev. E. ]. Currie spoke
before the board concerning the mat
ter. They made no demand and stated
that they recognized the fact that the
council did not have a great deal Of
money at its disposal for improve
ments. but they said they had tried to
help the council by fixing things so
the cost would be comparatively small.
North Main street is travelled as
much or more than any unpaved thor
oughfare in the city. Besides be-
ing thickly populated, it is a part of
the route to Raw1s Springs and is
traversed by the people of the city
generally and by a great many coun-
try people.
The members of the city council
seemed to recognize the fact that an
unusually good proposition had been
made them, and after giving the citi-
zens close and respectful attention,
they stated that they would be glad to
accept the proposition if the condi-
ton of the treasurer would allow
after they had paid all the city bills
and figured some on expenses ind had
made the tax levy. The members told
the committee that the matter would
be considered within ten days and an
answer would be given them one way
or the other.
1t may be said however. that the
council will accede to the request and
proposition if finances Will possibly al.

When a Bavarian peasant treats hlm-
self to a new hat. he does not throw
the old hat away. He just puts the
new hat on top of the old one. The
other day an amusing scene was VIII
messed at the Munich railway station.
A peasant who had bought a new hat
and a bowl containing several goldhsh
found himself hustled by the crowd
surging at the entrance to one OF the
platforms. In the crush the bowl was
broken, and the fish fell out. For a
moment the peasant knew not what to
do. Suddenly he made up his nina

The Diamond,

Writing on The Romance of the
Diamond in the North American Re
view," Sir William Crookes refers to
the theory advanced by some scientists
that the diamond is a gift from heaven
conveyed to earth in meteOric showers,
and he confesSes that the theory is not
without support. His description of
the Kimberley diamond mines is inter
esting. The writer says:
"Many circumstances point to the
conclusion that the diamond of the
chemist and the diamond of the mine
are strangely akin as to origin. 1t is
evident that the diamond has not been
formed in stu in the blue ground
where it is found. The genesis must
have taken place at vast depths under
| enormous pressure. The explosion of
large diamonds on coming to the sur
| face shows extreme tension. More dia-
monds are found in fragments and
splinters than in perfect crystals, and
1t is noteworthy that. although these
splinters and fragments must be de
rived from the breaking up of large
crystal. yet in only one instance have
pieces been found which could be titteC
together. and these occurred at differ
ent levels. Does not this fact point t
the conclusion that the blue ground i
not their true matrix? Nature does no
make fragments of crystals. AS tn
edges Of the crystals are still sharp an
unabraded, the locus of formation cal
not have been very distant from tn
present sites. There were prObabl
many sites of crystallizatiOn differin
in place and time or we should not Sc
such distinctive characters in the gen
from different mines nor indeed in di;
monds from different parts of the san
mine"
