ALL READY FOR
The ENCAMPMENT
Soldier Boys Arriving at Columbus
For Opening Monday
Lasts 10 Days.

Columbus, Aug, 3-The provisional
company which has been on duty at
the State rifle range at Camp William
son, near Vicksburg, for the past
thirty days reached the city Tuesday,

ming of active preparations for the
annual encampment of the Mississippi
National Guard, which is to be held
in this city August 6 to 16, inclusive.
The company arrived over the Mo-
bile and Ohio at noon Tuesday, and
after parading through the principal
streets in the business district march
ed to Camp Brewer, where they pich-
ed their tents, preparatory to the
work of getting the camp grounds in
readiness for the great body of mill
tiamen who will soon arrive here.

Adjutant General Arthur Fridge
also arrived Tuesday and will remain
here throughout the progress of the
encampment.
Washington Park, where the sol
diers will be encamped, is situated
the eastern suburbs Of the city, mid
way between Main and College
streets, and the committee in charge
of the encampment is making an eff
fort to induce the city authorities to
open these two thoroughfares to the
corporation line. If this is done 1t
will make the camp grounds more
easily accessible, not only for wagons
hauling provisions and supplies, but
for visitors in automobiles and car
riages.

here in 1907 and 1908 the field west
of the colored cemetary was used as
a drill ground, but house has been
erected on this plat and is surround
ed by cotton patch, so the open

is to supply the spiritual training of
children, which has been neglected IN
the home. The greatest opportunity
for character forming is the home.
The Sunday school teacher has usually
not more than twenty minutes week
to teach the children spiritual truths,
nd to them the entertaining Of many
children is committed so far as
spiritual training of children in the
Sunday school does not exceed two
hours in a year The great need for
co-operation between parent and teach
or was spoken of. If parents would
come at times to Sunday school with
their children they would often help
in developing the spiritual trend in the
child life. Several illustrative incl
dents were given to indicate the prop
er methods for teachers and parents
in their cooperative effort to train the
child. The great value in right char
acter training, of daily Bible reading
and the daily prayer habit, for even
very little children was urged. the
summing up of her suggestions was

is awaiting a second trial, was added

brother of Swinton, was shot to death
while on the back porch of the home
here of his brother-in-law, ], Shew-

The only clew as to the identy of
the assassin was furnished by Noel
Myers a neighbor, who saw man
running across lots following the re-
port of shotgun.
Walter Permenter had arrived here
early in the evening from Louisville
to join his brother, Swinton, and pro-
coed to Winona, where Swinton Per.
