FOR DECORATION DAY
The Day Was Observed in a Very
Quiet Manner by the Old Sol
diers and the Citizens.

The moist weather of the past few
days made it impossible to observe
Decoration Day in the accustomed
by the citizens of Mitchell.
The roads were too muddy for a pa
rade, and the road to the cemetery
was next to impossible, so that many
were prevented from going out there
this morning to decorate the private
graves.

until Saturday.
This association is composed of
some 25 churches located in Forrest
and adjoining counties and it is ex-
pected that two or more delegates will
come from each church. From the
larger church, there will be a
larger delegation, and it is POSSIBLE
that some few Of the churches NAV

TINS sometimes happens. but the hope
is INDUCED that all of the churches
will be represented by delegates.

year ago when the Emmanuel
church invited the association to meet
here, the congregation was worship
ing under tent and the association
feared that suitable provision for the
sessions could not be made but they
were assured that everything would
be all right. When the members of
the association assemble in Emmanuel
Church building next Wednesday they
will see one of the handsomest frame
church structures in Mississippi. The
interior has not been finished and
some other work needs to be done, but
the delegates and visitors can form
some idea of what the interior will be
when they take a look inside. The
auditorium is one of the largest in the
city and has two galleries In addi-
ton to this there are number of
large windows and the ceiling is very
high, the building being practically
two stories, but with no second floor.
1t is expected that there will be
more than one hundred delegates and
visitors.
