Rains with a constantly positive

those that change to a negative. The
passage from a positive to a negative
charge corresponds to a momentary

the rain is fifteen times greater than

without God and without hope in
in the world. But such faithful
workers as they shall receive
their reward in heaven.
Brothers Wages and Coggins
promised all Of those who came
and gave their hand that they
would pray for them from the
depth of the heart that they
should be saved and meet their
God. We shall all remember the
many cheering words they deliv-
cred to us, and hope that much
good will long linger around the
Fair Ground community and that
those who are out of God will
think, and think seriously of the
warning that was given to them
and that they will accept Christ
as their Savior is our prayer.
May God bless the preachers
and crown them in that day.

Two Faithful Workers

The protracted meeting was
held at Fair Ground church by
Revs. Coggins and Wages. Bro.
Coggins is our good and faithful
pastor, from Tupelo, while Bro.
Wages is from Sulligent, Ala.
Brother Wages, the visiting
preacher, did his duty faithfully
as a worker for Christ. He
pleaded and prayed for and with
the sinners of the Fair Ground
church and surrounding commu-
nifty to accept Christ as their
personal Savior. He warned
them to flee from the wrath to
come.
Bro. Wages stayed with us one
week and while he STAYED a large
crowd came almost every time
ito listen, but not to heed" the
words he spoke to them.
Pastor Coggins and Bro. Wages
pleaded with the sinful to heed
to the words of Christ and Rise
above the press" while the door
was omen. for some day it shall
be closed forever to them who
heed not and are not prepared.
Three of his texts were The
Rise Above the Press" THE
Opened Door" and The Closed
Door" These were my favor
ties, although the rest were just
as good.
Two members were restored to
the church who had been turned
out for misconduct, but they re-
pented and were received back.
The number was great that
gave to the preacher their hands
to be prayed for, and told him
by this act that they were lost
and wanted to be saved.
Pastor Coggins and Bro. Wages
were indeed sorry to see so many

Immoral and immoral.

Are YOU immoral or immoral? Do
not answer too quickly. for If you are
only immoral we may be able to over
look it. Immoral stands to immoral
in much the same relation as unre-
generate stands to degenerate. If you
commit some act of which the arbiters
of either disapprove, the category that
you go in all depends on whether the
arbiters have previously brought the
ethical constitution and bylaws to
your notice. If they have already told
you that a certain thou shalt not ex-
lists, then you are immoral il you dis
obey it. If, however, you are still in
an untaught state of sheer savagery,
then you are merely immoral, and,
instead Of being the victim of eXecra-
ton and contumely, you are entitled
to all the emoluments and perQuisites
of any other savage. Ignorance of the
civil or criminal laws no me-,
but ignorance of the moral law does
count for a little these discriminative
days.-Lippincott's.

TAKES HIS REST INDOORS
Hubby Has Given Up His Porch Bunk
and WHEY Is at a Loss to Un-
derstand Why.

A man living on the West side las
not been feeling very we'll recently
and after much urging from the wife
consented to sleep III a couch ham
mock on the real porch OF the nome.
The flrst night his wife made up a
nice little bunk for him in the ham
mock, and In a few minutes he was
sound asleep.
He had slept about an hour when he
was awakened by his anxious wife,
who came out to see If he was sleep
ing all right. Being assured that sleep
and the man were bosom friends, the
wife withdrew and once more the mar
slept. This time he rested a little
over an hour before his wife once
more appeared on the scene and anX-
iously inquired how hubby was sleep
ing. Hubby was a little sore by this
time over being aroused from a goou
solid sleep twice, and CURLY informed
the wife hat he was doing all that
could be expected in the sleep line.
WHEY again retired into the house,
and hubby was soon snoring and en-
joying his rest.
Wifey stood it as long as she could,
but shortly before midnight she again
tiptced out nto the rear piazza and,
after rousing hubby from his sleep for
the third time, sweetly inquired If he
was sleeping all right. Hubby didnt
offer any explanation or deign to re-
ply, but, crawling out Of the hammock,
betook himself to his bedroom, locked
the door, tumbled into his bed and
managed to finish the night without
any further inquiries as to his ability
to sleep. Now he refuses to try the
out-of-docr sleeping stunt and WHEY

| cause she just knows it will do him

Riddle of W~orkuen's Compensation.

fiddle OF Worknen's Compensation.
An English miner vas injured in
an accident and received his weekly
compensation payment in the usual
course. He recovered, but the en-
forced rest made him so fat that he
could not resume his work. The legal
problem then was whether or not the
invalidating fairness was the direct
result of the accident, and whether,
If it were so, the man was entitled
still to be compensated so long as the
invalidity lasted. The Court of Ses-
sion decided in the miners favor,
which meant that while the obesity
continued the compensation must be
paid. The House Of Lords, however,
decided the other way, and the man
will have to set to work to reduce his
weight. Westminster Gazette.

STRIKERS ARE KILLED
IN RIOTS IN RUSSIA
At Least Five Workmen Meet Death
While Eight Others Are Seri-
ously Wounded.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 2a.-At least
five striking workmen were killed and
eight seriously wounded during the fight
ing in the streets Of st. Petersburg be-
tween strikers and Cossack which ceased
only at dawn this morning. Three po-
lice officials also are known to have been
severely injured. The figures quoted are
official, but it Is generally understood
that the casualties among the strikers
were much heavier. as it Is thought prob
able they concealed a number of their
dead and wounded.
Official returns of the number of men
who have quit work give the total of
10000 in the city itself. These include
the street car employees. but do not COM

Men carrying red flags spent the night

barricades across the streets. from the
shelter of which they stoned the police

The mob is also accused of having fired
some revolver shots. The strikers how
ever, eventually dispersed and the bar
ricades were destroyed. but only after
the police and soldiers had been subject
ed to hot attacks with volleys of stones
in four different parts of the city and had
fred yolleys from their rifles in return.

philosophers.
Here is a suggestion that is interesting.
They are whispering in political circles
cretly by republicans to run as an in
dependent candidate for governor, if he
can obtain the necessary votes to nomi-
nate him. 1t is estimated that Sulzer
would draw at least 10000 votes from
the regular democratic nominee in No
vember and that would be mama from
heaven to the repu blicans. SulZer still
declares that he intends to run.
The republican state convention Is to
meet at Saratoga August IS, and will
have a dominating effect upon whether
regular republican candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination shall enter the
primaries.
While, as stated yesterday, that con-
vent1on Is authorized only to officially
frame a platform and attend to some
minor business, in point of 1acr it Will
unofhcially deal with candidates..
This will result from the gathering
of the leaders from every county. who
will confer and exchange notes as to
conditions and prospects. 1t is said
they will be looking to party success in
November as the paramount considera-
tion. and if they should decide that it
would be unwise for District Attorney
Whitman to run as a regular, it is not
likely that Mr.. Whitman would have
the temerity to resist their judgment.
So, that meeting may clinch Col.
Roosevelt's program, as he has framed
