{" Little Princess delighted
an immense audience last night
at the Grand Opera House.
Beautiful costumes and clever
management and acting made
the performance a pronounced
success. Never has a larger
audience assembled at the Grand
Opera House, nor a better
pleased audience left that popu-
lar play house than the one last
night at the performance Of
Little Princess. In the entire
history of the Grand, no compa-

colored costumes presented a

Mrs. Catherine Foreman.

Mrs. Catherine Foreman, wife
of Mr.. C. Foreman. died of con-
gestion Monday, Aug. q, at her
late residence in West Point.
Mrs. Foreman is well known
to the people of Columbus having
been a member of the Metho-
dist church of this city until her
removal to West Point two years
ago. She was born in Pennsyl-
vania 73 years ago and has been
resident of Mississippi for a
number of years. She has al
ways been devout Methodist
famed for her kind and loving
disposition and her many friends
both of Columbus and West
Point keenly feel her loss. She
was philanthropic, but never in
an ostentatious way, prefering
always to perform her acts of
charity in true. quiet, Chris
tan manner, where none but
herself and the benfactors knew
of her deeds of kindness.
Mrs. Foreman leav es hus-
band, Mr.. C.. Foreman, two sons,
Mr.. II. C.. Foreman of Colum-
bus, and Mr.. VIM. Foreman of
Bent Oak, and a daughter, Mrs.
Ellen Venson of Birmingham, to
mourn her loss.
The Rev. Leech of the Metho-
dist church conducted the funer-
al service.
Interment was at Odd Fellows
cemetery, West Point.

The following from the jack
son News will interest the base
ball enthusiasts of Columbus:
Mr.. A. Lewis. one of Jack
sons most ardent baseball en-
thusiasts, has returned from a
business trip to Meridian and
brings the gratifying news that
the fans in that city are showing
an awakening of enthusiasm and
are ready for the reorganization
of the Cotton States League;
that much of their enthusiasm
has been stimulated by Jackson's S
determined effort to break into
the Southern League, and when
ever a call is issued for the for
nation of the tight little cir
cult" Meridian can be counted
upon to get back into the game.
1T seems to be the concensus
of opinion that the new league
should be composed exclusively
of Mississippi towns, if possible.
For instance, a splendid circuit
could be formed of Jackson, Me-
ridian, Vicksburg, Gulfport, Hat
tiesburg and Natchez. Such an
organization would greatly re-
duce the mileage, as compared
with former years, and save at
least one thousand dollars in
travelling expenses for the sea-
son. Or, if it is regarded feast
BILE, Columbus and Greenville
might be added. thus forming an
eight-team circuit of towns that
are we'll able to support teams
with a $3.50 per month salary

even among a great many of his
professed followers. Those that
are educated along other lines,
knowing so little of the teachings
of the Bible. He urged the form

churches, that pastor ard lay

lie said, further: You might
scar ch the books of all ages and
no where will you find one that
will at all compare with the Bible
in its beautiful language. Some
one has said that Shakespeare,
the greatest of all uninspired
writers, wrote for all ages, but
the Bible was written not
only for all time, but for eterni-
ty."
He then dwelt on the spiritual
life of the church and said: The
admonitions of this 18th chapter
of r mans is just as applicable
to the First Baptist church of
Columbus, as to this Church of
Rome. We, as the Church of
Christ, should be a unit in all
good work, with a membership
of near seven hundred, if we are
of one mind in carrying out and
furthering the cause of our bles-
sed Lord, then the good accom-
plished will not be confined in
the walls of this church, but go
out even beyond the limits of our
own town and even the borders
of our State, especially so if we
carry out the last command of
our blessed Lord while here on
earth, just before leaving his be-
loved disciples in which he said
to them, go We in all the world
and preach my Word to every
creature. If we are anything
for Christ, we are a missionary

Mr.. B.L. OWEN CONDUCTED MEETING
At BAPTIST GHURCH---REV. EGGER
PREACHED FOR METHOOISTS
MEETINGS WELL ATTENDED

The pastor OF the First Baptist
Church, Bro. w. A. Hewitt. be-
ing absent last Sunday, Bro. B.
l.. Owen, a deacon of the church,
conducted the services. After
reading the 18th chapter of Rom
ans and commenting on this beau
tiful and instructive chapter. he
said in part:
THE Apostle Paul, writing to
the Church of Rome. beseeches
them to present their bodies a
living sacrifice, holy acceptable
unto the Lord. That the great
mans life from the day of his
miraculous conversion until his
death was one Of sacrifice, hav-
ing written most of the epistle Of
the New Testament and some Of
them while in prison, his trials
were many, but his faith was un-
wavering, his success unparal-
leled, because he knew in whom
he put his trust, and was con-
vinced that Jesus Christ was able
to save and will save all those
that believe and put their trust
in Him. The apostle said of Jesus
Christ in whom are hid all the
treasures of wisdom and know
ledge. Jesus Christ, our blessed
Lords life was one of great sac
rifice. He, who knew no sin,
bore the sins of the world that
we might be saved. He, who
was born in the councils of eter-
nifty and Gods only begotten and
well-beloved son, was the great
Vicarious sacrifice. Now, when
we think and ponder in our hearts
the sufferings of our Lord, his
ignomineous death upon the
cross, as well as the many weary
miles he travelled while here on
earth, teaching and preaching;
healing all manner of diseases,
raising the dead that he might
bring all men unto Him and pre-
pare them to occupy the man.

BLOODY WORK
OF A NEGRO
DASHED DOWN STREET FIRING IN EVERY
DIRECTION, SHOOTING TWENTY
SEVEN MEN


Monroe, La. Aug. 24.-Half
crazed by either whisky or CO
caine, Bill Way. a negro from
Hineville, Ark, dashed down
the main street of Monroe today
with a double-bai relied shotgun,
firing in every direction. Citi-
zens returned the fire and the
negro finally fell dead after re-
ceiving a score or more wounds.
Twenty-one citizens were in
jured in the fight.
The persons seriously wounded
in the encounter with the negro
are as follows:
Deputy Sheriff Grant.
Hip Marks, a merchant and
member of the city council.
Hugh Bigger, a member of the
police force.
George Mccormick, manager
of the Oachita Lumber Co.
1t is feared that two or three
of those above named will die, as
their wounds are of a critical
nature.
Twenty-three other persons
were wounded, some seriously,
but a majority of the number be-
ing grazed by bullets or sustain
ing slight flesh wounds.
Among the injured are Mayor
A. A. Forsythe, President D. A.
Breard of the police jury, Her.
man Ahbrams, Ed Strong, r. R.
Ross, |. L. Haas, Steve Burke,
Joe Thompson, Fred McGrath,

Trousdale, j. w. Merrin, Adolph
Beere and Roy Fisher.
After the negro had been shot
TO death IN the streets the infurl-
ated citizens who were chasing
him hung the body to a tree in
the court house yard. After
wards it was lowered to, the
ground and burned.
The trouble started about IL
a. m. The negro took his stand
ON a corner in front of the lead
ing bank of the city and shot at
everybody in sight until his sup
ply of ammunition was exhaust
ed. He was armed with a dou-
ble-barreled shotgun, and the
fact that he was using only No.
6 shot accounts for the fact that
more fatalities did not result.
