DR.. w. r. Hooker who is scheduled
to preach at the Columbia Street
church at the morning service to-
morrow is well-known here. He has
been missionary to Mexico for many
years and when first sent to that coun-
try was simply a missionary with no
knowledge of medicine. On seeing
the immense advantage that a physi.
clan would have in gaining access to
homes and reaching a class of people
that it was impossible to reach 9TH
erwise, he came back to the states
and took course in one Of the lead
ing medical colleges of the country
Returning to that country several
years ago he has made rapid headway
as a medical missionary and stands
high in the regard of the church ana
citizens of that country where his
work lies. He is gifted speaker and
will no doubt preach to a large audi
ence at the Columbia Street church
tomorrow Members of other de-
nominations are cordially invited to
come out and hear him.

MISS MATTE LEWIS
PAINFULLY SHOT
Receives Bullet From % Rifle In
Head. Source of Shot Is a
Mystery.

A % calibre rifle, one of those look
ed upon as harmless weapons, in the
hands of an unknown party came near
costing the life. of Miss Matte Lewis
yesterday afternoon, the young lady
being painfully wounded.
Miss Lewis, who lives with her sister
in the home of M. Riley at SOC Walnut
street, was sitting on the back steps
of the house yesterday afternoon,
dressing a partridge, when she felt
something strike her in the top of
the head, dazing her so she stagger-
ed and almost fell. Her sister
ran to her assistance and helped her
into the house and hurriedly called a
physician. Miss Lewis could not tell
what had happened to her; at first she
thought she had come in contact with
live wire, and complained Of a queer
feeling in her head. Upon examina-
tion 1t was found that the ball from a
% calibre rifle had buried itself in
the scalp. Had the ball been a frac-
ton of an inch higher up on the head
it would probably have resulted in in.
stant death.
From whence the bullet came and
In whose hands the rifle was is not
known; but the inmates of the Riley
home and neighborhoods are some
what indignant over the occurrence,
accident or no accident. They complain
at the careless handling of fire arms
by young boys, and it is hoped that
this accident will arouse the authori.
ties to the necessity of a
more rigid enforcement of whatever
ordinances there may be governing
the discharge of firearms in the city
Miss Lewis is reported as doing
very we'll today. The wound causes
considerable pain but no serious re.
suits are expected.

motion Of Sound Banking system, de-
livered an instructive lecture at the
court house last night to a small but
appreciative audience. There were
about one hundred bankers, business
men and few ladies in the audience

been present had it not been for the

The object of the National Citizens

lows:
THE question of a better banking
and currency system for the United
States, is a question that concerns
the farmers, merchants and wage
earners Of the country to an even
greater extent than it does the bank
ers, because these are the men who
have to suffer from the inequalities
and injustices of our present system.

Promotion of a Sound Banking Sys-

business men formed for the purpose
of bringing about the adoption OF a
system better adapted to the require

the one We have at present.

The prospective candidates for the
two cornmissionerships are rather
slow about getting away from the
post but it is known that number
of leading citizens would like to serve

NAL announcements are expected be-

The outcome of the Donald bill, now
pending before the legislature, which
if passed, will abolish the office of

commission form of government, Is
doubtless having something to do with

MANY WANT JOBS

Gulfport Miss, Feb. 1O.-W. E.
Clark, postmaster at Gulfport, has re-
signed. His resignation, to take eff
feet February 20, has been forwarded
to Postmaster General Hitchcock. Mr..
Clark returned Wednesday night from
Jackson, where he was in conference
with L. B. Mosley, Republican referee
for Mississippi. Not until he had
seen Mr.. Mosley was Mr.. Clark willing
to make known the fact of his resig-
nation.
Mr.. Clark has accepted a position
with the Guyaquil Plantation Company
in Spanish Honduras. Mr.. Clark re-
turned only a few days ago from Hon.
duras, where he looked over the field
thoroughly and became convinced that
the opportunities there were promis-
ing. At the time that Mr.. Clark took
charge of the office here two years
ago, the office was not in the best of
condition, and it is to his efforts that
the excellent service now rendered is
due.
Applicants for the position, which
pays $2,7OO per year, include R. D.
Coon, the present assistant postmas-
ter; N, D. Goodwin, Rucks Yerger, T.

SUPERVISORS ADJOURN
AFTER BUSY SESSION

The Board of Supervisors will ad-
journ this afternoon. While not
very much business of an important
nature came before the Board at this
meeting, there was large amount of
routine business disposed of. The
much discussed matter of a Road
Commissioner was brought up during
this session, but as there is bill be-
fore the legislature at the present
time looking toward notifications
and improvements that will be bet
ter fitted to conditions in Forrest
county, 1t is deemed advisable to hold
the matter in allegiance, until the leg
islature passes on the proposed
changes. The 18th school section
money accumulated from the sale of
timber rights and ordered to be loan
ed out will be held over pending the
filing of necessary papers by the in
tended borrowers, and while there
are applications for this money far in
excess of the amount on hand, none
of the parties had their papers made
out in compliance with requirements
necessary to secure the money.
The Tax Assessor has been in
structed to gather the names of taxa
BILE road hands and present same to
the Board. This work has commenced
and will be completed in very
short time.
