Prof. Gray Leaves Band Of Dis.
satisfied Republican Can
didates.
BACK In HIGH SCHOOL CHAIR
Prof. Foster Will Measure Up
To All of the Re-
quirements.

Neither Profs. Gray nor Foster is
losing any sleep now over the result
of the last election. Prof. Gray has
again taken his chair in the High
School and Prof. Foster is turning
his attention to matters that will
have first to be arranged when he
takes the office of Superintendent of
the County Schools.
Last Friday, along towards the
closing hours of the day, Prof. Gray
filed an order in legal form with
Circuit Clerk w. A. Radford with
drawing his contest against Prof. l..
E Foster for the Office of Superin-
tendent of County Schools. The
suit along with five others, was filed
on November'15.
1t was reported just after the
suit had been filed late Saturday af-
ternoon and on the day named, that
as soon as Prof. Gray heard of the
suit, he went to the office of the Cir
cult Clerk and stated to Mr.. Rad
ford that the suit had been filed
without his instruction and without
his knowledge.
Everybody is glad to see this ex-
hibition of Prof. Gray's sound judg-
ment, and without regard to party
all wish him four years and more of
happiness and prosperity, whether
he ever gets into the running or not
for an Office which he once filled
with great credit to himself and the
good of the school children of the
county.
AS to Prof. Foster, the people who
believe in him and elected him to
the Office which is now his beyond
further dispute, are confident that
he will measure up to all of the re-
quirements. He is going to put all
of the power of his vigorous young
manhood into his work to better the
condition of the schools of the
county. Mentally he is well quail
fed. His lucation was made pos
sibIe by the labor of his hands, he is
a Southern man and there is nothing
that can be said of him derogatory
to the character of an upright.
Christian man.

AT The Ninth Street Christian
Church, With Prospects
of Great Results.
LEADER OF CHORUS THERE.
Rev. W. H. Shelter Came Mon
day And Began His Work
Last Night.

1t may be truly said that the men,
bership of the Ninth Street Chris
tan church were revived before the
commencement of the evangelistic
services, to beheld ten days or more,
at that church Sunday morning. A
great ingathering of souls is hoped
for during the progress of the meet
ing. The pastor, Rev. H. d. Smith,
is a man who never tiresin his efforts
to bring people into the kingdom
and ever since his return from a
three months tour in foreign lands
he has had in view the great meeting
which was launched last Sunday. BY
the aid of his membership he found
out every family in the city without
church connection, people without
church preference, as well as those
who seldom attend divine services.
His members are as deeply interested
as himself and their expectations are
great and their prayers earnest for
a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
Prof. w. E. M. Hackleman, who
will have charge of the music, was
at the opening service last Sunday
morning. He is agreat director and
thoroughly consecrated man. Many
years of experience has fitted him
for great and good work, and with
a chorus that had been drilled by
Mrs. Perkins the leader of the choir,
he found no trouble when he took
charge, but everything started off
smoothly and perfectly. This is not
his first visit here About twenty
years ago he assisted in meetings
here and many faces in the congre-
cation were remembered, though he
was greeted BY many more new ones.
Rev. w. H. Shelter, who is to do
most of the preaching, arrived yes
terday and preached his first sermon
last night to a crowded house. He
lisa great evangelist and if the efforts
of the pastor and his congregation
succeed in getting many of the
unsaved to attend these services the
results can scarcely fail to be what
have been hoped and prayed for by
hundreds of people.

HUNTING TROUBLE.
Some of The NimrOdS Said to
Be DOcketed For
Trial.

If reports are true several men are
to be tried for violations of the game
law. An officer said last week that
the Game Warden had already cited
about SO hunters to appear for trial
for hunting without license. The
penalty is a fine ranging from $50 to
$500, it is said. ard the court has
power to impose a Jail sentance.
The cost of a permit to hunt is only
a dollar and why anybody will run
the risk of being found out and hsv-
ing to pay heavy fine to save a dol
| n is hard to understand.

HORSE FELL
Upon Rider Who Had Narrow
Escape From Death.

Mr.. John M. Butler, of near Oak
Grove, was badly hurt in peculiar
manner a few days ago. Mr.. Butler
was riding across a piece of plowed
ground when his horse reared and
fell upon him. The soft condition
of the ground no doubt saved the
rider from being crushed to death
he was considerable bruise {,
but no bones were broken.
