PETAL LOCAL NEWS.

Daily News Special.
Petal, Miss, September 17.-If this
kind of weather continues, cotton pick
ing will soon be something of the
past, as it is such an easy matter to
get it picked this year.
Cotton is not turning out as once
thought.
I On last Sunday the Petal Sunday
school program was carried out very
nicely.
Last Sunday the Sunday school at
Green's Creek made several changes,
got up new roll and the names of
students will be called by the secre-
tary every Sunday, and they will
answer to their names.
Miss Maggie Chatham ent ertained
several young people last Sunday
evening. among whom were noticed
Misses Clara and Rosa Bundy, Messrs.
Carl Bundy, Leon Grantham and W. M.
Davis.
Mr.. Scott Pickett made a call on
Miss Miss Bessie Davis last Sunday.
Mr.. H. L. Haywood made a call on
Miss DOME Smith at Goodluck Sunday
Ievening last.
1t is real funny to see the autos lose
their motion in Petal. When the roads
are fresh worked the autos soon find it
out and the Petal people don't care
much, for they are always loaded
when they come over this way, and the
Petalites don't get any chance of rid
ing.

MILLSAPS
IS READY
Opening Takes Place On Septem.
Der 30 and a Most Success
full Session is Promised.
Daily News Special.

Daily News Special.
Jackson, Miss, September IL
Everything around Millsaps College
is getting ready for the opening on
September 80, and President Murrah
feels confident of a most successful
opening, as well as a profitable year.
Speaking of the prospect today DR..
Murrah said that, to judge by the ap-
plications already in hand, there is
every reason to believe that the COM
ing session will even excel that of last
year in point of attendance, when
there were about 300 students enrolled.
With the exception of some improve
ments on the campus, such as the prep
aration of the new athletic field north
of the college proper, and the perfect
ing of plans for the proposed I. NJ. C.
A. building, there will be very little on
the campus that was not there last
year but the boys are generally pretty
well satisfied with conditions there.
In the faculty there is one additional
member this year, the chair of assist
ant in English, Latin and Greek, to
be filled by Prof. Arthur Noble, late of
the University of Chicago, but for
merly of the University of North Car
DINA, and whose home is in Bushner
Fla.
Prof. ]. T. Erwin, who takes the
chair of mathematics, to succeed DR.. ].
A. Moore, deceased, arrived in the city
yesterday, accompanied by his wife.
Prof. Erwin, while a native of vir-
ginia, has for some time been evn-
nected with the University of Ala
bama.
