Standards of business morality were
never higher than to-day. Recent TRADES
against dishonesty in high places do not
argue the existence of greater dishonesty.
They indicate that the standards of moral

conscience of the people is quickened.

In memory of little Edna Maud Merritt,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Merritt and
granddaughter Of G. w. and L. H. Dali
rymple, who died at the home of her pa
rents on January "a, 1911.
Little Edna was only eight months old.

To reign with Christ forevermore.
0 may we meet here there at rest,
To live with Christ forever blessed.
Oh! may we meet her in Heaven above,
Where all is peace, joy and love.
All her suffering has ended here
She is there glittering crown to wear.

Some of us have thought that duty is
the highest motive Of life, but we think
there is motive even higher. 1t is love;
something that is God-given, a power that
comes from the very throne: divine inn
pulse that is greater than duty; the love
that moves us to helpful service.

GREAT REVIVAL
IN KANSAS CITY

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 26.-An au-
dience of about 1850 people listened
to the preaching of DR.. Charles Reign
Scoville, the evangelist, at the indie
pendence Boulevard Christian church.
The services were held in the Sunday
School auditorium in which 1900
chairs had been previously placed in
the hope of seating the crowd, but in
spite of this precautionary measure,
a thousand or more people were
turned away for want of room.
At the morning service twenty-five
persons came forward. Last night
fifty-four more acknowledged their
conversion, making total for the day
of seventy-nine. They will be i'm
mersed today. The record of the
meetings so far is 379 converts, which
is close to that of the Linwood Chris
tian church which won over 400 in a
week over four years ago.

TO HAVE TRUCkFA

9 Hattiesburg's apparent advantages
as a trucking center continues to at
tract notice, and resulted in bringing
two new citizens with their families
here this week. The gentlemen in
question are C. r. Ruter and ]. H..
Timer, who paid $4,000 cash for the
G. d. McInnis home place, which is
located on River avenue near the cor
porate limits, and embraces twenty
acres of land on which Is a nice
house and good barn. The place is
well watered, and so convenient to
town that a ready market can be had
for all the new owners can raise.
Hogs and chickens are to be given
an important consideration by Messrs.
Ruter and Timer, but the greater
part of the land will be devoted to
truck farming. This deal was made
by Lea G. Duke, the real estate men,
who have several other deals of a
like nature on foot which will likely
be put through in the next day or
two.

there is every indication of success
in this movement.
The personnel Of the syndicate has
not been made public, but it is said to
be composed of some of the most pro-

professional men in the state. w. w.
Simonton has been selected as mana

as the Central immigration company,

MOUSE DIES, BUT CUTS
LIGHTS IN THREE TOWNS.

Laurel, Del, Jan. .26.-The towns of
Laurel, Seafort, Bridgeville and Del
mar were thrown into complete dark
ness for several hours by the electro
cution of a mouse.
The accident was as peculiar as the
result was effective. The rodent at
tempted to cross a generator switch in
the power house of the Sussex Light
and Power Company which supplies
this town and the other three places
with electricity. The animal did not
get far It's body formed a connection
and short-circuited the entire system,
causing the wires to burn out. The
finding of what was left of the mouse
explained the cause to the electricians
who repaired the damage.

ter of development and as the game
grows in followers by the forming of
new leagues and clubs 1t is only natu-
raj that such clean, wholesome
sport should be popular.
The number of players required to
play the game naturally detracts from
it as a team constituted of five mem
bers cannot muster the following
that baseball or football team with
it's regular number of players and
substitutes will hold, but the school
spirit, "a force that has no equal"
has helped to overcome this and
eventually it would not be surprising
to see league games, somewhat along
the same lines as baseball, that would
attract. many hundred people.
The game as played in the college
and by the ward and high school boys
is different, and such it should be,
for 1t will take development to bring
the same plane of fairness to the
town classes that are divided only by
age and experience. This difference
will soon be overcome and eventually
one rule book for school master and
collegiate players will be issued.
1t is admitted that baseball has
lived and grown for the fact that it
has been kept clean from all sorts OF
crookedness, therefore with the cali
bre of players required to play a
classy game of basket ball, it is not
foolish to suppose that the game is
| ordained to bright future.

the players and such followers as had
