MAIN ST. CHURCH
FREE FROM SUIT
is HAPPY AGAIN
Large Subscriptions OF Members And
Mr.. Tatum's Generosity Turn
The Deal.

Members of the congregation of the
Main Street M. E. Church, South, will
worship tomorrow with unmixed joy
over the change in the financial affairs
of the church brought about the past
week through the devotion and self
sacrifice of a dozen of the leading
members. ~
The cloud of the Tatum suit for
S22,5OO in the circuit court has been
lifted and the dove of peace now how
ers about the house of worship. The
Love Feast held in the church DUR
ing the closing hours of the recent
convention, which at the time forboded
good, has, it seems, brought about a
great reconciliation among those who
were sorely divided.
Church is Financed.
At the meeting to finance the church
pledges were handed in to Treasurer
Foote for $4,000 q with these came
the two subscripe ms of $4,000 each
from w. S. F. Tatum, making a total
of the $4,000 which the trustees had
set themselves to raising shortly after
the conference.
Previous to this meeting a loan of
$12,500 from the Millsaps College en-
dowment fund had been secured for
a term of five years. Combining the
subscriptions and the loan money Mr..
Tatum was handed the total of his
claim on the following morning, the
committee receiving from him a full
release.
The suit will be cancelled probably
this afternoon or Monday upon settle
ment of the costs.
With a splendid new brick church,
a comfortable parsonage and in addi-
ton a fine piece of central realty in
the old frame church on Main street,
the trustees and stewards are looking
forward to a prosperous year for the
church.

After the presentation, Mr.. Byrd
asked the congregation What are you
going to do about it," In response,
several schools announced changes in
their. Sunday school work-putting the
departmental plant into effect, organ
izing cradle roll or some of the 9TH
er features taught during the Training
School and all were impressed with
the thoroughness, the system and the
business-like practical ways the in
structors had shown them are possible
in the Sunday school work-where
they had never, some of them, thought
of expecting such thing possible.
Served Luncheon.
At the close of the service, the
ladies of the churches that had served
the lunches each evening, were COM
plimented and thanked; also The Hat
tiesburg News for its kind, correct and
liberal reports of the meetings. Reso-
lutions of appreciation were passed on
the services of Messrs. Leavell and

Coming Next Year.
Mr.. Byrd, field secretary of Missis-
sippi, announced that although other
cities are striving for a Training
School, he could most probably assure
Hattiesburg of one next year.
Mr.. NJ. P. L. Love was complimented
on getting the school here this year
and the singing of "Blest Be. The Tie
That Binds" with the benediction,
closed the Training School.
A count has been taken all week Of
the various denominations attending
the services and as announced last
night the total was GOT for the whole
week as follows:

Avenue Baptist, 40; First Baptist, 131,
and Columbia Street Baptist, 307.
For the last four nights from other
