The elevation OF the Rev. w. L. Lin
field, for a year pastor of the Court
Street Methodist Church, of this city,
to presiding elder of the Newton Dis
trict, was announced at the Methodist
conference which adjourned in Lau-
rel at noon today.
The promotion came as a great sur
prise, both to Mr.. Linfield and to the
members of his congregation. 1t was
generally thought that he would be re-
turned to Hattiesburg for at least an
other year.
The Rev. T. w. Adams, for the last
three or four years presiding elder
of the Port Gibson district, will sue
ceed Mr.. Linfield at the Court Street
Church.
The Rev H. Mellard, pastor of the
Eroaa street Church for the last year,
has been transferred to Purvis. His
place here will be taken by the Rev.
c. M. Chairman, of the Rolling Fork
Methodist Church.
The Rev. George H, Thompson is re
turned as presiding elder of the Hat
tiesburg district. The Rev Charles
W. Crisler also comes back as pastor
of the Main Street Methodist Church
The transfer of Mr.. Mellar was not
unexpected. 1t is understood that he
preferred change, in spite of the
fact that his congregation, almost as
a whole, supported the move to have
him returned to Hattiesburg.
The changes will be made as quickly
as possible Mr.. Linfield and Mr. Mel
lard will return to the city this after
noon. and will Immediately begin max
ing arrangements to go on their new
work Mr. Chairman and Mr.. Adams
are expected here next week.

Hey, You Jaywalkers Can't You
Cross the Streets Properly Yet?

Never mind about that Well-knOwn
chicken which crosses the road and
what for does she cross it, which is
equally as well known to be for the
same reason that you do. e., to get
on the other side: but the proposition
is how do you cross the street, where
do you cross it; have you sufficient
sense to cross it properly?
Are you a jaywalker?
Chief of Police Bennett has appeal
ed to the commissioners to find out
what he can do in the way of keeping
iaywalkers in bounds.
Hence-are you jaywalker?
A iaywalker is person who will
not take corners and regular crossings
in doing the hen act. Jaywalkers get
sudden hunch and right in the mid
die of the block, especially on Main
street dart off a curb and start skirt
