The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1909-11-04

derwent very serious operation Sum
day morning at the hands of very skilled
surgeons. The trouble was with the gall
bladder. That was reached by the doctors
and cleansed. This was all we learned
about the case His good lady informed
US that success crowned the doctors efforts
and that this good man will now get
well in week or two. We informed the
sick pastor that at about the hour in
which the surgeons knife was doing IFS
dangerous duty, the good pastor at the
Baptist church services in Florence. was
leading devotional and sympathetic con-
gregation of Christian worshippers in an
earnest prayer to God for strength and
recovery for the sick Methodist pastor, and
that every one felt sorry and sad for
him. He seemed so gratified that he
should be SO lovingly remembered in this
manner, and just could feebly whisper
God bless you" We left the sick room
feeling glad and good over the holy patti
ence of the good brother an that he was
cheered by the message we delivered him.
We wish to tell Christi7n people gen
orally, but Baptist in particular, that we
visited the Baptist Orphanage, of Jackson,
on Tuesday. Supt. Carter informed us
there are at present 1874 fatherless and
helpless children within the institution.
The crops the boys raised are short.
Corn enough was saved to feed the neces-
sary stock on the premises but the human
mouths must have their bread donated to
the Orphanage by those who have hearts
big enough to contribute some good and
sound anti-Pellegra corn for bread purpos-
es. We will further tell you that an as
ISOLATION in south Mississippi this body
had up for discussion the running of "a
freight car for one trip on the @. and
S. I. railroad, to gather in anything use
full for eating or wearing or sleeping,
on the part of these dependent orphans,
to be shipped on to the home. But Bro.
Carter says he has not yet learned how
the matter is decided, yet he seems to
think that there will be car started
some time near Thanksgiving day. But
whe her the car takes the trip or not, these
orphans---the ptiful, helpless children
must be fed or be starved to death right
under our hands which can be "giving"
hands or refusing" hands. 1t is with the
Christian brother or sister to say for him
self which hand each will show. What
is said above equally applicable to the
Methodist Orphanage. Supts. Carter, of
the Baptist and Williams, of the Methodist
homes, are fine Christian men, loving and
devoted and kind to their respective
charges. Who will contributed
OF all the unique teams seen on the
streets of Jackson last Thursday was
bull harnessed and hitched to a buggy
driven with pillow lines like horse by
two colored men. This attracted the at
tention of large crowd standing on the
sidewalks.
1t would have looked better and been
better if the Iggorettes at the fair grounds
were all well kept within the enclosure
of their~tent. They needed more covering
about their bodies than nature had be-
slowed upon them.
The big balloon at the fair grounds as
cended very high on schedule time, Mon
day at o'clock p. m. A wind waited
it towards Pearl sriver; and in the de-
cent of both balloon and parachute it
must have fallen into the river But it
