these vast turpentine orchards of the
south has perhaps come in time to
stay the early destruction of yellow
pine forests threatened by years of
careless management.
Experiments conducted by the Uni
ted States forest service at Ocilla.
Ga, and Green Cove Springs, Fla.
as well as definite and reliable data
received from operators throughout
the naval stores belt, have effectively
determined the great advantages of
the new methods over the old. Not
only has it been shown forcibly that
the conservative methods are of great
protection to the forests, but suffi-
cient data has been collected TO show
that the increase in yield of both
turpentine and rosin by the new and
Improved systems furnishes strong
argument in favor of their use.
Reports from the states where ma.

where there is a greater percentage
of turpentine produced by improved
methods there is also a greater Weld

ANOTHER GOOD SERMON
BY DIR. 0BERSCHMIBT

Rev. Doctor Oberschmidt, who is
conducting a series of meetings at
the Bay Street Presbyterian church
preached another fine sermon last
night, his subject being Gods Claim
Upon Men For Their Service"
Rev. Oberschmidt took as basis
for his remarks the text, "Son, Give
Me Thine Heart" His entire sermon
was an effort to prove that God has
propriety right in us and a rightful
claim upon our services.
The speaker took the position that
We cannot go where God does not
know our whereabouts and where
duty is not binding upon us, and that
God wanted mans heart, life and
service.
Services will be held twice daily un-
til further notice, and the public is
cordially invited to attend.

Contrary to former announcement,
the log rolling Of Leaf River Camp

held in this city on October 8, will
be an exclusive affair, only members
of the order being allowed to attend.
1t was originally planned that the

of the limited capacity of the hall,

saw the first sign they may have
been 10, 20, 80, or 40 years old. Nor
does any man know the day or hour
when the world would end, according
to this same chapter But the book of

might show the year.
Il do not claim to knov the year,
nor do think any one else does. Yet
it is certain, if this is the Star of

it is the last sign of Christ's coming
and it seems equally clear that, ac
cording to the Bible. the end cannot
be later than 1858.

"A nature taking story which would

Although the season is. late, it is

A Louisville and Nashville train

inches in length was discovered in

The reptile put up desperate
fight before being killed.
The snake was discovered as a re-

How the snake got into the ash pan

AS time progresses indications mul-
tiply that the great Prosperity Cele-
bration will be the biggest event ever
seen in South Mississippi if not in the
entire state, and the splendid magni-
tude of the preparations give every
promise that it will draw the atten-
ton of people to this section of Mis-
sissippi and to Hattiesburg that have
hardly known heretofore that they
were on the map. 1t will give South
Mississippi and Hattiesburg such a
boost with the outside world as they
have never before had, and will thus
serve its purpose; because all that is
needed is to get people nto tbs coun-
try and let them see what it is. The

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount OF
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount Of
air. The result is slortness OF
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart REM
