The Hattiesburq Tabernacle.

The speaker declared that the Co.
lumbia Street church possessed a
strong and working nucleus for a
great peoples church as DR.. Brough-
ton had when he began TO build his
famous tabernacle in Atlanta and
that he hoped soon to see built here
"The Hattiesburg Tabernacle.' that
will be at once the pride of the town,
and a great blessing to Hle religious
and civic life of the city.
The lecturer closed his stirring ad-

the young men. Calling on them for
the supreme decision of their lives,
he told them in graphic words the
story of William Yancy. the great
Confederate statesman, before New

the Georgia orator swept the Missis-
sippi legislature last year just before
the vote on statewide prohibition. With
magnetic eloquence. he called for a

pital is now assured as a certainty.
Rev. L. G. Gates, pastor of the First
Baptist church of Laurel, one of the
leading spirits in the hospital move
ment, is authority for this statement.
THE hospital is a sure thing" he
says in an editorial paragraph in his
Church Banner.
The erection of a charity hospital
in Laurel has been under way for
some time and the presence of build
ing material on the grounds, is excel
lent evidence of the progress that has
been made toward the elimination of
what has been a labor of love.
Some time ago a plot of several
acres was chosen and purchased for
the hospital grounds, about one mile
north of Laurel, on theLindsey Park
road.
On these grounds was a six room
cottage, which was bought with the
grounds. This cottage is to be
raised and lower floor of brick built
under it.

Naturally the stream will not be large
 for a day or two more but by the first of the week a good ir+igating
 head may be depended upon. The river flow has not been quite as great during the last few days as
 before, due to the cool weather, for there is still snow in the Sierra Ancha mountains from which a great deal of the water probably comes and during the cool days of this week it is naturally melting much slower It is believed this condition, however, is more than offset by the slower evap- oration from the valley lands. The cool winds of the last few days have been greatly te the advantage of the valley in this respect.
 LOOKS GOOD TO oUTSIDERS-L. F. Hewins has received a letter from Louis Mel, an insurance man who visits this country occasionally and who about once a year passes from here to Globe via the Roosevelt road The letter came from Globe and from it the following extract is taken, de- scribing MT.

When the stage landed me above the dam saw a beautiful lake twelve or more miles long which means so much to your very thirsty valley. Had you been with me I feel sure that you would have decided to immediately clap on another 90 per cent on your holdings, for centainly great prosper- ity is now assured for the lucky holders of land in the Salt River valley.
