Resolutions.

Whereas, under the law of oar church,
the time is at hand when our beloved
pastor, Rev. w. w. Woodland, will, in
obedience to the authority of the church,
be removed to another field. Therefore,
be it resolved, by the fourth quarterly
conference of the first Methodist church
First. That we, individually and
collectively, desire to express, in un-
nistakable terms, our high appreci-
alton and sincere love of him. He has
labored faithfully, in the interest of the
church, and in the interest of Method
ism, and in the cause of the Master,
in the city of Water Valley, for the
past four years.
Second. That we commend his
virtues, and especially do we commend
his faithfulness, as minister of God
He is possessed in high degree of in
tellectuality, ability, common sense,
and piety, attributes, which we deem
indispensable to successful minister
Third. That we shall rejoice to watch
his course upward, and shall unstintlng-
ly have faith in his futur, success,
knowing, from experience, that he is a
workman that needeth not to be asham-
ed of his work. His ministry has been
approved of God, and by his people,
Fourth. Thac we will pray the Lord
of the Harvest that he be retained in
the field for many years. and when the
Harvest is over, that he may go rejoic-
ing carrying with him many sheaves.
Fifth. That these resolu lions be
spread on the minutes of the Fourth
Quarterly Conference, and copy be
published in the church papers.

Dear Journal:

Lear journal.
Now that my work is running smooth
ly, l will "put me down" and write
you letter. When was leaving Tu-
pelo, several friends said, "You must
write u.s. One said: "Well you can
al least write to US through the Journal,
then we can all have news of you
| am delighted with this South Geor-
gia town. 1t is right in the heart of
the pine belt, and the air is fragrant
with the resinous odor, and there are
saw mills, and saw mills, therefore
such beautiful residences.
The town numbers two thousand souls.
Water works. Electric lights, and free
mail delivery. but, no whiskey Isn't
that good? Six churches, two that are
quite hanGsome, and magnificent
school building of pressed brick. There
are fourteen teachers, including one
who teaches voice in all the grades, and
one who teaches free hand drawing.
There are two teachers each in the
first two grades, and three for the 3rd
and 4th. The school is the pride of the
town. And babies! My! Even Tupelo
would be "put out of business" by COM
parison.
But watt ar'n't you surprised Il
didn't begin this letter with Kinder
garten?
Well. | am delighted to tell you that
the people are very enthusiastic as
well as appreciative, and are simply
lovely to me. The first Sunday l at
tended church, after services were over
many whom l had not met, crowed
around to be introduced, while others
that had met, came up to shake hands
all because am a kindergarten teach
er
Yes, it is joy to be among people
who are so keenly alive to this beauti-
full and holy work for the dear
little Children. Jesus instituted the
first kindergarten. FORBID them not"
While l am happy among these new
friends, my heart turns lovingly to
those in Tupelo, and read eagerly ev-
cry bit of local news in the Journal,
and sigh for more.

Trade Day.

The bad weather on Monday preven-
ted the carrying out of the program ar
ranged to entertain the crowd on Mon--
day, the last Trade Day advertised. The
rain of Sunday night put the roads in
bad condition and prevented many
from coming to town Monday, and al
though, there was large crowd pres
ent, it was not near so large as it
would have been with fair day.
Those who came to town came
with a view of trading and the sales by
the merchants were good. AS the eve
Ming advanced the call for umbrellas
and rubbers took the place OF a demand
for holiday goods and the trading in
these lines closed briskly the business
OF tha day.

Go to -Pontotoc January 18th.

Let every public spirited man
be on hand at the railroad meet
ing at Pontotoc on Monday the
18th of January. The building
of the new railroad is a big un-
dertaking and your presence will
lend encouragement to those who
are leading the fight for the new
railroad. Every man along the
route is interested and will receive
a direct benefit. No one should
sit down with the assurance that
the road is go'n TO pass by his
front gate; the question of it's
location is altogether a matter
for the future to deter .alne. 1t
takes money to build railroads
and every body who is benefited
should not fail or refuse to help.
Of course, some will BE- more
able to take stock than others,
but every man along the route
witt 9 foot of land should be will
lin, to go his proportionate part
The advantages to be obtained
by the building of railroad
through any section are too we'll
known and appreciated to need
discussion.

The Wild Man at Washington.
Charleston News and Courier.)

If the senators and represen-
tatives at Washington had the
least self-respect or courage of
conviction they would make
short work of the president and
his almost daily efforts to as
sumo authority which, under the
constitution and his own oath of
office, he has no right to exercise
But the senators and represen-
tatives have almost invariably
yielded to him, however outra-
geous his demands or great his
contempt of them and their pre-
negatives. We agree with Frank
lin Pierce in his letter to the
New York Evening Post, which
we print elsewhere today, that
Mr.. Roosevelt as president has
done more to pervert our form
OF government, to override through
the executive departments the
other coordinate departments
OF government than all the pres,
idents from the commencement
OF our constitutional age" Yet
there has been no senator or rep
resentative of sufficient coul age
to resist his encroachments upon
the Legislative department of
the government, and few judges
who have dared in their interpre-
tation of the law to obstruct the
usurpation of the executive.
From the beginning, Mr..
Roosevelt has defied all precedent
He has dominated this country no
altocrat has ever dominated in
any other land. When the courts
have disagreed with him, he has
damned the courts. When the
senate and the house have hes
itated to accept the legislation
which he has proposed, he has
driven them to submission. In
the army and the navy he has
his favorites at the ex-
pense of the service, and in deal
ing with the people as to mat
ters of popular concern or domes-
tic interest he has sought to ter
rorize them by his imperious
will. He has made treaties with
out authority and driven them
through the senate in spite of
protest. He has created commits
sions of one sort and another
without authority of law, and
the people have paid for them.
He has exalted the cowboy and
the prizefighter and the wrest-
tier. He has saddled upon pro-
testing communities office-hold-
ers because of the color of their
skin. He has driven officers of
the army into exile and compel
led their retirement from the
service by the DEGREES of submis-
sive physicians. He has vilifed
all pnblic' men of prominence
who have disputed his control,
and for seven years he has main
tanned at Washington a mons
trous tyranny oyer the people.
His course is nearly run, but for
the next two months the coun-
try may expect such excesses of
presidential madness as would
not be possible in any other civil
lied country on the globe; but
let us all be thankful that this
ftful fever is nearly over, and
let us hope and pray that after
the 4th of next March we shall
enter upon a period of decent
