Rev. Roden, Methodist student of Mill
saps College, preached at Wesley Anna
Sunday morning and at Star Sunday af-
ternoon. The pastor, Rev. w. w. Morse,
was too sick to preach there that day. We
are all glad to have these young preachers
come among us and do some of their fine
preaching, as we'll as to become acquain-
ted with the people. We have no particu-
lar S of the two sermons this brother de-
livered; but we venture they were fine
Rev. Wayne Sutton, of this place, spent
last week at Silver Greek attending the
valuable lectures of DR.. R A. Venable,
on the Book of Romans" The lecture
covered verse by verse and was exceed
ingly masterful and instructive Rev SUIT
ton visited Leaf River church last Sat-
urday and Sunday and preached for those
good people both days. That church gave
him an indefinite call, commencing next
year; but his time being already taken
up he could not accept the call This
Leaf River church is in Covington coun-
ty, and was organized by Rev. Novel
Robertson Sc years ago. They are fine
people.
Mr.. J. B. Harrison died Sunday of drop
sey, at the age of Sc years; and was buri-
ed at Mountain Creek, Rev. Wayne SUIT
ton officiating. She had been in very
bad health for tive years. She was a
Christian and a member of Mountain
Greek church nearly all her life Thirteen
living children mourn the demise of a
good mother. There was very large
crowd at the funeral; for she had
friends that cannot be counted, she was
popular with every one and gentle and
kind to all. Five of the girls and two OF
the boys are married, having families
of their own. BLESSED are the dear who !
die in the Lord"
Weigher Jack Lowther reports 1862
bales weighed to IT a. m. Wednesday,
and 733 bales ginned here to date. There
is but mighty little cotton left in the fields
about here now. Probably not more than
500. bales will be weighed here this sea-
son, and about $50 ginned here after this
The weather is still dry and the roads
and streets dusty.
A spelling match will be pulled OFT
here on Friday night between the town
folks at the school.
Please allow me space to say that our
farmers who make their own molasses
can find a market in Chicago for a
nice, well handled article of Louisiana
cane syrup if trouble be taken to fur
nish samples of their make---say one
quart or one half gallon, or more as one
sees fit. IF the successful makers of this
syrup, who live around Florence, will
bring into this town such samples am
deliver them to d. E. K. White, hS
will take pains and pleasure to divide uaS
the different samples into smaller bottIeo
samples and forward them to parties
in Chicago with whom he conferred last
summer on this matter. Our people on
the fineries of south Mississippi can make
a superior article of syrup from Louis
lana cane. and simply because the ives
tern people have not had the opportunity
of testing samples of the article, they
have, so far, not ordered any from this
part of the country. A good price per
gallon will be paid, so we are informed
for good, well-handled article, deliv-
cred at the depot. Farmers, if you wish
to make this venture, bring your samples
to DR.. White and make try. Boil Weevils
can 60 to guinea then, when such q
delicious stream flows from this section
to the Western Metropolis.
