Matter of Raising Funds to Take Care

Encouragement.

Another meeting of the Elks COM

ter of sending to Detroit an exhibit
to advertise the agricultural resourc-
es of South Mississippi, on the occa-
sion of the meeting of the Grand
Lodge of Elks in that city during the
week beginning July II, was held at
the club rooms last night and further
details of the suggestion were gone
into at length.
Besides members of the committee
there were present Messrs ]. L. Haw-
ley, general freight and passenger
agent of the Gulf and Ship Island
railroad; R. K. Smith, general mana
ger of the Mississippi Central road,
and T. J. Hanan, of the ]. j. New
man Lumber Company. These gen.
tlemen were invited to be present so
that the proposition might be fully
explained to them, and to ascertain
their sentiments in regard to the idea
In the discussion of the subject II
developed, from a very conservative
estimate, that in order to make any
sort of creditable showing, it would
require at least $4,000 to carry the
project through successfully OF this
expense the Elks agree to bear a lib
eral proposition, and Messrs. Smith
Hawley and Hanan offered very graf
flying encouragement, each intimat
ing that his respective company would
be willing to make a substantial con
tribution of cash, and also arrange
free transportation of the exhibit il
possible.
At the annual meeting of Elks in
Detroit in July, it is estimated that
at least 100000 members of the order
will be in the city at that time, be
sides probably 100000 visitors from
all sections of the country. 1t is pro
posed to prepare some kind of an ex
hibit which will advertise the resourc
es of this immediate section, to ar
range this exhibit upon a float and t.
have it lined up in the parade, tn,

mittee of ten members from the loca
lodge. who will answer all question,
concerning the soil and climate of thi
territory.
1t is also proposed to distribute
great quantity of literature in Detroi
setting forth the advantages offere,
the homeseeker in the piney wood
section. the cheap and fertile lands
the agreeable, healthful climate an,
the hospitality of the people.
1t is believed that such an arrange

in much good, and will attract tn
attention of a large number of peopl
of other sections to country c
which they know comparatively notl

Christian Science service held Saturday
morning in Chambers academy. THE ma
ton has a divine heritage in the simple
story Of this simple man" said Mr.. Her

high ideals that Lincoln reached, is worthy
indeed of study, and we may well be con-
stdered in the light OF what life has to
teach of man as a spiritual creature.
HE stood among the mountain peaks
and saw God not only ais the friend Of the
free, but also of the oppressed. No mere
personality would warrant departure from
our accustomed method OF service, and no
one thing in him appeals to us, but all Of
his great qualities bring home to our minds
the fact hat history records no more sub
lime symbol Of the divine mind than when
the shackles were stricken from he limbs
of the slaves" >f- .- p M

the martyred president along the lines of
thought familiar to students OF the work
