different periods. One wing was evidently
very ancient, and heavy snow-shafted bow
windows jutting out and overrun with ivy,
from among the foliage of which the small
diamond-shaped panes of glass glittered

Christian Science Lecture
By Mrs. Sue Harper Minis

To an audience that filled the Hat
tiesburg Auditorium almost to the
limit of it's capacity. Mrs. Sue Harp
er Minis, of Atlanta, widow of the
late Major Livingston Minis, for many
years mayor of that city, delivered
a lecture last night on Christian
Science.
The visit and lecture of Mrs. Minis
was an event of more than passing
significance, for it is regarded as the
beginning of movement for the ex-
tension OF the Christian Science faith
In this commonwealth.
At a number of the principal towns
of the Commonwealth, including the
capital city, Christian Science socie-
ties have existed for several years,
but there has not been, until this
time, an aggressive movement for the
extension of the faith, or public meet
ings held ostensibly for this pur-
pose.
That this apparent lethargy is about
to give way to an earnest effort for
the propagation of the faith, through
the medium of literature and public
lectures, is the statement made by
the principal workers of the Christian

Science Society, and last nights
lecture by Mrs. Minis was a revela-
ton to citizens of Hattiesburg who
heretofore has enjoyed but little ac-
quaintance with the principles of the
Christian Science faith.
Mrs. Minis is native of Jackson,
her maiden name being Miss Sue Har-
per, and the days of her early girl
hood were spent in that city.
Mrs. Minis was introduced in most
eloquent terms by Rev. Geo. s. Gibbs,
pastor of the Episcopal church, and
lifelong friend of the family.
A synopsis of the lecture follows:
Mrs. Minis Lecture.
The message of Christian Science to
humanity is one Of hope, joy, blessed
ness, longevity, harmony and immor-
tally, here and now. 1t is a message
of UNIVERSAL love and peace, it know
no section nor cline nor sect, it it the
science of universal being for univer-

To His Excellency. Hon. e. F. Noel.
Governor of the State of Missls-
sippi.
Your petitioners the undersigned,
with respect. would represent and
show unto your honor as follows. to
wit:
That on or about the = day Of No
vember, A. d. 1908, one Lonnie Vance
was indicted by the grand jury Of
Forrest county, Mississippi, on a
charge of grand larceny. and at the
November. 1908, term Of the circuit
court of said county and state he
plead guilty to said indictment. and
was thereupon sentenced by Judge
w. H. Cook, circuit judge of said dis
trict, to serve one year in the state
penitentiary. Immediately on the ad-
journment of said court the said Lon
ME Vance was incarcerated in the
penitentiary where he is at the pres
ent time.
Petitioners respectfully show that
the said Lonnie Vance is mere child
only fourteen years of age, and of an
immature and undeveloped mind, and
consequently easily influenced by old
ed and more mature minds. That the
said Lonnie Vance was of quiet, re-
firing disposition and was not addicted
to mischief of any kind when left to
his own initiative; but on the occas-
sion which led to the indictment, the
said Lonnie Vance was influenced and
led by older boys ranging fage from
eighteen to twenty years. ito the COM

Petitioners bel eve that while the
said Lonnie Van he %ay have been
technically guilty fof the offense
charged, yet his Acts were without
the intent which institutes the gravo-
men of the crime.
Your petitioners are convinced that
intimate association with hardened
criminals by youth of such tender
years and impressionable mind will
result in irremediable harm to the
said Lonnie Vance.
Premises considered, the under
signed respectfully submit that the
said Lonnis Vance is fit and worthy
subject for pardon at the hands OF
your Excellency.

Forestry, plans to attend the meeting
of the National Irrigation Congress at
