Right Rev. Davis Sessums, Bishop
of the Diocese of Louisiana, accom-
panied by Rev. Roberts Johnson,
was visitor to st. Joseph and New
elton last Sunday. The Bishop con-
Quoted services at Christ Church at
1880 a. M, when Holy Communion
was celebrated, and again at IL
O'Clock, at which service he occupied
the pulpit and delivered a most elo-
quent sermon, which was enjoyed
and appreciated by his entire con-
gregation. Following the sermon
Rev. Mr.. Johnson presented to the
Bishop a class of four candidates for
confirmation-Miss Marjorie David
son, Miss Amalia Steen, Miss Marian
Curry and Mr.. Jos. M. Davidson.
AT the conclusion of the service Mr..
Johnson announced that he had ar
ranged to visit st. Joseph regularly
every second Sunday. The congre-
CATION was unusually large and the
Bishops stay with us was accom-
panied by the usual pleasure that
his visits always bring. In the af-
ternoon the clergymen motored up
to Newellton, where services were
also conducted, after which they re-
turned to st. Joseph and left that
night on the Cordill.

The gratifying news was given out
on Friday that after suspension of
business for two months, due to the
flood, through service on the NJ,
H. & L. from Natchez to McGehee
is re-established and that the two
daily passengers, carrying mail and
express, would resume operation at
once and run as nearly on the old
schedule as possible. Our people are
delighted to hear the old familiar
sound Of the locomotive whistle,
for Notwithstanding the many COM
plants that have been registered
against the road we found soon af-
ter it went out of commission that
it deserves greater appreciation as it
affords us such great convenience
that we little knew its. value until
deprived of its service. 1t is also
worthy of note that utmost credit
is due the management for the re-
markable promptness with which
the road-bed has been put in shape
for use, the early completion Of
same and resumption OF service
coming as a most pleasant surprise
to every one along the entire line,
who little expected to see the trains
running for several weeks yet.
