The assessors are abroad in the
land asking the people come very
questions as to how they
have prospered the last year and as
a rule he will find them very poor
hardly able to live and have met
with many mishaps during the
year. Now is the time to buy autos,
they are very cheap.
The,members of the K. O. T. M.
Lodge met in their Tent Monday
evening, Jan. 10th, and initiated in
to the mysteries of the Order the
following named gentlemen: A. w.
Harvey, Earl D. McClain, Benton
Jensen, John X. Vandebrake and
Paul Mikkelson. After the initia-
tion an oyster supper was served at
the Park Hotel.
Some assessors have been in the
habit of allowing the farmer four or
five hogs for his meat, which is not
according to law. There is no law
allowing such methods, neither is it
right for the assessor in one town
ship to exempt hogs for home con-
sumption, aud in another to assess
them. There is no law for the exemp-
tion of any meat unless it is in the
BARREL.

Quoted by Revs. d. c. Kelly and Geo. d..
Anders is an early morning prayer
meeting held at the church, beginning
at 5:45 a. m. and lasting for one hour.
Another is a business mems prayer
meeting, held in the directors room of
the Citizens Bank at o'clock each
afternoon. The interest in these two
meetings gives unmistakable evidence
that these ministers have aroused
much interest in the cause of religion.
We hear much of the "old time
religion" Those of our citizens who
believe in the "old time religion"
would have been carried back to the
days of their early life if they had
been at the early meeting at Court
street church this morning. Quite
crowd of men women and children
were present. The meeting was con-
Quoted by Rev. Mr. Anders, who
seemed to be 'shoutingly happy, and
instead of making it altogether a pray
er meeting he turned it into what the
Methodist are pleased to call an "ex-
perience meeting" The marked fea-
ture of the meeting was the readiness
with which the young people present
testified to a personal experience Of
conversion and joy in their religious
faith. The talks were all brief, to the
point, and manifestly sincere in their
tone. Pledges for more earnest and
active christian service as a means to
the acquisition of christian joy and
happiness were numerous. 1t is GER
tainly fact, that his kind of religious
tainly fact, that this kind of religious
fanaticism, whatever one chooses to
call it, has the effect of Frightening
faces, sweetening tempers, and creating
for a time at least genuine good fell
lowship.
This writer not being on the regular
staff, begs the privilege of asking as
his pay for this article, meant for the
news columns of your valuable paper
the privilege of exhorting those peo

and incidentally all who desire to see
the religious state of our community
toned up, to try the experiment of get

Editor News, Hattiesburg, Miss.
We arrived here last Thursday
week. | stood the trip much better
than l expected | would when | left
home, yet l was tired and worn out.
had fever the first two days after
arriving here, which left me weak and
very nervous. l have had no fever
since and am mending fast. am
hopeful that l will be able to return
home by the 18th of May a well man
again. l am grateful to all my friends
in Mississippi for the interest mani
tested in me during my illness. l
have had many letters from friends
over the state sympathizing with me
in my affection, which has cheered me
much during my stay here.
On our way out we encountered
good rains from Shreveport to Mar
shall, Dallas, Ft. Worth and on to this
placer The farmers are very much
hoped I'D and are looking for good
crop year.
Mineral Wells is a very nice little
city of five or six thousand population,
with all modern conveniences, except
the streets are not paved; it is at the
terminal of the branch of the T. p,
running out from Weatherford nesting
close to the base of the mountains,
which lead away northward from here.
The country around here is very
broken, yet in the valleys there are
some good farming lands, but very
rocky.
l am informed that in the Brozas
Valleys some five miles south of here
the lands are very fertile. I have not
seen this part of the country yet, but
expect to go out there next week, as
we are arranging for a fishing party
Monday.
I have many friends in Hattiesbure
and surrounding country, who would
possibly be glad to hear from me. and
to know that I am improving in health
you may publish this letter if you fee
disposed to do so, as cannot write tt

A PROFITABLE
SERVICE Held
Rain And Wind Did Not Dampen The
Ardor of Court Street Church
Worshipers.

A most profitable service was heiu
last night at the Court Street churcn
In spite of the wind and rain goou
congregation was present. Rev. d. u.
Kelly used as his theme 1.-THE CITY u
Refuge" His text was Psalms 9l'z'
1.-THE Lord is my refuge"
During his discourse the speaker
said in olden times the Lord hau
Joshua to establish cities OF retuge'
because in those times there otten
existed feuds for generations, and
man was compelled to seek refuge Il
he wished to save his life.
Some one has said these cities are
a type of Jesus Christ. These cities
were always placed in an important
and prominent place. Just so shoulc
every preacher place Jesus Christ IL
the most important places Of his ser
mon.
The gates to these cities are KEEP
open all the time, but if man waits
too long to enter the city, he Is very
likely to be killed by his avenger; bu
so long as he is in the city he is safe
just this way, Christ is always Willing
to save us, but if we wait too long, W.
are likely to be taken at any moment
and as long as we are in Him we ar
saved.
"Jesus Christ expects all his chill
dren to come unto him.
"There is quite difference in com
ing to Jesus and abiding in him. Jesu
expects man to surrender his vii
and if man does not have the spirl
of Christ, he is none of His.
'If man continue in his iniquitie
he will die in them.

for Jesus you are not saved, but whe
