Pastor Allen went down to Harrisburg
last Sunday to occupy Brother Trotter's
pulpit there, by way of exchange for
that day. He reports that the congrega-
tons at both services were large and
showed that the people of the growing
young city are church going people.
This is good, right and proper in any
place where dwell thousands of immortal
souls.
The sermons preached here by Rev.
Trotter are every one to the point and at
tractive. Every division of the texts is
clearly elucidated, SO that every man, wom-
an and child of understanding age, can
understand the plain meaning thereof.
This is the kind of preaching for pro-
tracted effort There is no stirring up of
surface emotion that tempt one to think
he ought to join church and end the
matter, as many seem to be doing these
days, thus filling the churches with uncon-
verted people. The preacher who makes
the Gospel call so plain that even a fool
may understand it is doing the proper
thing. The appeal to the heart through
the intellect is the safest cause. In our
view the sweeping of so vast throngs into
the church fold, is questionable as to good
sound saving work being done. In many
many such cases the start is wrong,
false or sandy foundation is laid, and

ruin. Bro. Trotter's preaching is along the
right line and he or she who don't see
his or her condition spiritually, have eyes
and won't see.
We learn that when Charley Stubs
finished the working of his link of dirt
road from the cooperation of Florence
westward three and half miles, he left
done the best road in the beat He has
thus set fine example for every road
overseer in the county. Mr.. Stubbs is
a man of intelligence. and uses his fine
powers of brain to do we'll what he under
takes. He acts upon the old time maxim
that what is worth doing at all is worth
doing we'll. He will carry this active
principle into any place he may be re-
charge of the state farms after this year.
Miss Lula White, daughter of Hon.
w. A. White, of Biloxi, is spending sew
eral days here at the home of her uncle,
DR.. E. K. White. She has been more or
less indisposed as to health during the
time, and therefore, not we'll enough to.
be out enjoying social life among her
friends. This we regret very much.
Prof John Buchanan, principle of
Stems Greek High School, has been in
our community for several days past look
ing after the interests of our school, The
printer-the Tucker Printing Company at
(ackson,-has failed to get out the cata
logues earlier through lack of labor, as
they claim. This is the reason for the
catalogues not being distributed sooner,
if any are distributed at all. We have
reached this place by Tuesday, as Prof.
Buchanan is out of town just now.
Patrons and friends of this school will
bear in mind that it is not far away TO
the opening of the session of I9Io-II. 1t
will be well for every boy and girl be
prepared to enter the school the very first
hour of the session. Something is lost
or is lacking to the pupil who loses the
influences of the first days gathering He
or she hardly ever gets over this loss. 1t
is almost like getting to church services
after the text of the sermon has been an
nounced by the preacher. One is invarl-
ably at a disadvantage while listening
to sermon if the text and the first
remarks on the text has not been heard by
him. So in attending the school the first
day. The text of the session is given on
that day and the pupil is at disadvan-
tage if he or she fails to be there to take
it in to mind. The first day sounds the
note of the session Things are general
said on opening day that act as an i'm
petus to diligent effective work of the days
following There are various other rea-
sons why your child should be on hand
the first day. Make your preparations
early and timely, and let the school work
commence auspiciously Just as soon as
Prof. Buchanan gives us the program of
the first days exercises we will gladly
present it to our readers, and we look
for the program very soon.
This sending our dear boy or sweet lit
tie girl to a school is a very serious piece
of business-serious to the parent and Sc
rious TO the child. The loving parent
should feel what a serious thing it is.
The bottom works. upon which rest
the mind of the dear young progeny,
be reared the intellectual structure
should be carefully and praytrfully consid-
cred and put down" as for eternity.
The teacher should be eminently Chris
tan. and heart-friend to the pupil. The
Patron should be heart-friend to the in
teligence and character builder of his
precious scoin. The two do well to be
such; but the two, patron and teacher,
combined and working in union and in
honest sympathy for the perpetual welfare
of the pupil, do much more and surer
work that wnen tried as by fire" will
stand the strain of time upon the grand
est of all structures.
Now, dear patrons, you desire to edu-
cate your child. You are eager to have
