On Tuesday night, in the capital

Both sides were well represented
and all the contestants did them

they represented, both c. H. A.

of Messrs. A. Bosch and T. T.
Williams, who did splendidly in

A GREAT DISCOVERY
Certain ingredients That Really Pro.
mote Hair Growth When Prop
erIy Combined

Resorcin is one of the most ef-
fective germ destroyers ever dis
covered by science. and in connec-
tion with Beta Napthol, which is
both germicidal and antiseptic,
combination is formed which de-
stroys the germs which rob the
hair of its natural nourishment and
also creates a clean, healthy condi-
tion of the scalp, which prevents
the development of new germs.
Pilocarpin, although not color
ing matter or dye, is a we'll known
Ingredient for restoring the hair to
ite natural color, when the loss of
! hair has been caused by a disease
Of the scalp.
These ingredients in proper COM
binatiou, with alcohol added as a
stimulant and for its well-de6ned
nourishing properties, perfect per-
haps the most effective remedy that
is known for scalp and hair
troubles.
We have a remedy which is
chiefly composed of these ingredi-
ents. in combination with other
extremely invaluable medicinal
agents. We guarantee it to posi-
lively cure dandruf and to grow
hair, even though the scalp IN spots
is bare of hair. IF there is any vi
tality left in the roots. it will posi-
lively cure badness, or we will re-
fund your money. IF the scalp has
glazed, shiny appearance, it's an
indication that badness is perma
nent, but in other instances we be-
lieve badness is durable.
We want every one troubled with
scalp disease or loss of hair to try
Rexall 'o3" Hair Tonic. Ifit does
not cure dandruff and grow hair to
the satisfaction of the user, we will
without question or quibble return
every cent paid US for it. We print
this guarantee on every bottle. Il
has effected positive cure in 90
per cent of cases where put to a
practical test.
Rexall "o3" Hair Tonic Is en-
tirely unlike, and we think, in evs
cry particular. better than anything
else we know of for the purpose
for which it is prescribed. We
urge you to try this preparation at
our entire risk. Certainly we know
of no better guarantee TO give you.
Remember, you can obtain Rexall
Remedies in Port Gibson only at

Mr.. J. B. Russell of Estelline,
Texas, arrived in Mississippi last
Saturday morning, and will spend
several weeks with his mother,
brother and sister, in the old home
at "Greenwood Place" /"
Mr.. Russell has been citizen
of Northwest Texas since 1891,
and helped to establish and devel-
op the business and educational
institutions of Hall county, of
which the growing little city of
Memphis is the county seat.
He has become a thorough Tex.
an and is always enthusiastic about
the greatness and promise and
progress of this wonderful state,
yet he very much enjoys his rare
trips home, and sees much to ad-
mire in the wooded hills and rich
valleys of old Mississippi.
Mr.. Russell is accompanied by
his son, Holt, typical Texas
youth of twenty, who is making his
first visit to his grandmother's
home, and has never lived where
anything but the clouds could OBJ
struct a sweeping view of earth and
sky.

Spublic Opinions =
Some Comparisons.

Editor Reveille:
A brief review of our studies in
Geography has suggested some
very interesting comparisons.
When God would select a land for
the developing of a great people
be said it should be a good land, a
land of brooks of water, of fount-
aims and depths that spring out of
the valleys and hills, a land OF
vines and fig trees and pomegran-
ates and a land wherein they
should bread without scarceness a
land of fertility and fruitfulness.
To the mind of the casual reader
this is a most accurate picture of
our own South where nature seems
to have comspired with all of its
dealings for reproduction.
The Geography of our Southern
States is as suggestive as is its
topography in this comparison for
the two sections lie within the
same degrees of latitude. Pales-
tine lying between the 31st and
s5tb degrees, which correspond
almost exactly with the limits of
the State of Mississippi.
Jerusalem and Vlcksburg are
situated practically upon the same
degree. That land borders upon
the "Great Sea-" while we border
upon a great Gulf. The sources
of moisture are practically the
same. One coming from the West
and the other from the South,
making of both lands of pastures
and of f1ocks. While they were to
be a great people they were to be
a farming, pastoral people. No
great trade centers, no great ship
ping ports, but a land of abundant
supply for the home and suggest
i've of that quiet and contentment
which is the greatest asset of man
and nations.
To what extent these compari-
sons may be used in the Provi-
dence of God may be question
beyond our comprehension-but
that the physical surroundings
should be so identical is to the
writer, at least, suggestive. II
such climate, such soil, such fruits,
such topography, were better 1000
years ago in the making of great
and happy people, why not the
same today If the life of the
herdsman and the farmer were
suggestive of successful people
then, why not to-day7 Why should
the young men of the Southland
seek other conditions any more
than the sons of Jacob of the long
agoa T. B. H.
The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1912-02-29
CONTINUED From Last week,


(s) READ WITH MEDITATION
Read and think.
The late Hugh Miller used to
say: "Read an hour and think an
hour"
David, the Poet-King Of Israels
strongly emphasizes meditation,
when he describes THE GOOD MEN
in the 1st Psalm-''in his law doth
he mediate day and night"
AS you read the Holy Scriptures
keep asking yourseIf-what is
there here for myself-tor my COM
fort, instruction, to increase my
love to Jesus and my fellow men,
to strengthen my faith, to brighten
my hope and add to my patience
in daily life.
Cd READ THE BIBLE WITH REV
ERENcE-The Bible is Gods Rev
elation of His will to and about
man and the future state.
Consider the Bible, therefore, as
Gods personal message to your
self.
Consequently, in studying the
Bible avoid triAing, frivolous
spirit and careless mind. AS you
peruse the Holy Scriptures realize
the presence of God with you.
You will find this prayer helpful
-"Lord Jesus, let US read this
portion of the Holy Scriptures To-
GETHER."
(5) READ THE BIBLE WITH FAITH
keep ever in mind that FAITH is
the connecting link between God
and the soul through which God,
by means of His church, commun-
icates the blessing of salvation and
other rich gifts of his grace to
men. "He that cometh to God
must believe that He is" Faith
has been we'll defined as "BELIEF
in PROMISE, and trust in a PER
SON."
(6) READ THE BIBLE DAILY-As
the body needs food daily, so the
soul calls for spiritual nourishmeni
daily.
First things should be always
first. The soul is much more val
liable than the body. Therefore
give your soul suitable nourish
ment for time and eternity. Feee
much upon the Word of God
Seek to find Jesus Christ in ever,
portion of the Holy Scriptures.
Iesus Himself was well taugh
in His Bible-the Old Testament
especially in Deuteronomy. Th
reader will note that our bIesse
Lord, when tempted by the Devi
quoted from the Book of Deuteror
omy the Scriptures with which Z
set Satan behind Him, successful
resisting him. Be like the Berear
who "Searched the Scripture
daily King David gives his bal
il OF life: "Oh, how love I Il
life; It is my meditation all q
day."
