nings fellowshipped with churches
and persons who praeticed these al

established practices and principles

the matter had been submitted to a
council of the churches composing
the Harmony Association, of which
Chickasawhatchee church was a
part, and the council decided in
favor of the Everitte faction.
The Jennings faction contend

followers had not departed from
the original practices and teach
ings of the Primitive Baptist
church, and also being a maiori-
ty of the membership of Chickasaw-
hatchee church were entitled to pos
session and control of it. The trial
resulted in a verdict in their favor,
and an appeal was taken to the SUI
preme court.

takes the precaution not to discuss
the questions at variance, doubtless
realizing that they were liable to
wade into deep water, and that the
wise plan was to affirm the Judgment
without going too deep into the is
sues involved while writing the reas-
onS.
This case was of wide interest not
only on account of the questions at
issue, but because Of the fact that
Chickasawhatche church is one of
the oldest and most widely known
churches of this section of the state.

PAUL GILMORE COMES 10Th
WILL PRESENT 1.-THE MUMMY
AND THE RUNNING BIRD"
One of the Most Successful Dramas
Now Before the Public Will Be at
Opera House Thursday Night.

One OF the Most SUCCESSFUL Dramas
Now Before the Public Will Be at
Opera House Thursday Night.
THE Mummy and the Humming
Bird play which will be presented
at the opera house Thursday night,
Feb. 10Th, is one of the best known
comedy dramas now before the pub
lie. The play is one which by the
interest of it's story excites and main
tains the interest by the natural Sc
quence of the incidents, by the dra-
matte keenness in which it's plot is
developed, by the brightness of it's
dialogue, and has established itself
in the general estimation as one of
the best comedy dramas ever pre-
sented before the American public.
In no other single play have so many
strong characters been assembled
The Mummy" a scientist so abb
sOrbed in chemical researches as to
be almost Oblivious to his everyday
surroundings; The Humming Bird,
a literary foreigner whose habits and
character warrant this Soubriquet;
an Italian organ grinder, who proves
pivotal character upon whom the
story of the play hinges; the wife
of the Mummy and the young widow,
whose second wooing form a part of
the action, are a quintette of dra-
matte spersOnages each of whom is
distinctly forceful and interesting.
Mr.. Paul Gilmore will assume his
great character, Lord Lumley, and
will be supported by an excellent
company, including Miss Katheryn
Hutchinson, the popular society act
