HOLIDAY JAG
HAS ARRIVED

The first indication that the holt
days are approaching, was manifested
in the police court, was shown this
morning when three cases of plain
| Dunk and one of drunk and fighting,
were up before his honor, Justice John
son.
The plain DRINKS were let off with
a fine Of 81 each, and the drunk and
fighting case brought $3.50.
1t has been some time since there
were as many as four cases of drunk
enness before the police court on any
one morning, and the fact that there
were four this morning shows that
the Christmas business has opened up.
In this connection, it has been observed
that there are very few cases of
drunkenness before the police court
at any time. This is not taken to
indicate that the police are any less
active than they have been in the
past, but it is a clear indication that
there is less drunkenness in Hatties-
burg now than at any time in the past.
1t is seldom that a drunken man is
seen on the streets of the city and
when one makes his appearance he is
almost certain to be nabbed by the
police. 1t is believed that there is
less drunkenness in Hattiesburg than
in any other place of similar size in
the state.
There will probably be an increase
in the number of arrests for drunken
ness this week, but it is not believed
the number will be considerable, as
compared with other years, during the
holidays.

In closing a ministry of two years
in Hattiesburg, my thoughts go back
over that short time and suggest ques-
lions and answers which are very
sacred to me. Looking back / have
sought to find some language with
which to express my appreciation of
the kindness we have received from
the hearts and hands of so many of
Hattiesburg's best people; but my use
of language fails to measure up, to the
gratitude of my heart.
l have never lived among a more
courteous people, whoe kindness is
not circumscribed by UNCONVENTIONAL
distinctions. All have been univers-
ally kind to us.
My association with the pastors of
other churches has been most cordial.
We have dwelt together in the unity
of the spirit. Church loyalty is a
beautiful principal, and yet christian
ity is bigger and broader than any

(By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX)
Master of sweet and loving love,
Give us the open mind
To know religion means no more,
No less, than being kind.
Give us the comprehensive sight
That sees another's need;
And let our aims to set things right
Prove God inspired our creed.
Give us the soul to know our kin
That dwell in flock and herd,
The voice to fight mans shameful sin
Against the beast and bird.
Give us a heart with love so fraught
For all created things
That even our least unspoken thought
Bears healing on its wings.
Give us religion that will cope
With life's colossal woes,
And turn radiant face of hope
On troops OF pigmy foes.
Give us the mastery of our fate
In thoughts so warm and white
They stamp upon the brows of hate
Loves glorious seal of light
Give us the strong, courageous faith
That makes of pain friend,
And calls the secret word of death
Beginning" and not END"
