WALKS ACROSS STATE
TO RECOVER HORSE
Continued from Page one.)

en- to the meeting house and tied his
horse outside. "A mana white man
took the horse while the meeting was
in progress and started for the Missis-
sippi line. The parson having no
funds with which to hire another
horse, and determined that the animal
shouldn't get away from him, started
out on foot. He has been on foot ever
since until he reached Hattiesburg
Saturday night and purse made up
at the Sheriff's office to pay his rail-
road fare.
The negros description of the horse
exactly fit one which was seen here
Saturday. 1t is dark horse, speckled
white, and was offered for sale so
cheap that prospective purchasers
were afraid to buy it. The driver OF
the horse stayed here good part of
the day Saturday, then drove out Pine
street Saturday afternoon about three
o'clock.
When the parson reached here and
told his story, both the Sheriff's office
and the police department joined in
the search. 1t developed later, how
ever, that the driver had double
tracked them. He had gone to Bon
homie, then taken another road back
this way on toward Ellisville.
The Hattiesburg officials warned
officers of all the towns in that direc-
tion and as the description of the
horse and buggy makes Identification
easy, they believe the parson will be
able to drive back to Alabama. The
preacher went to Ellisville, where he
hopes to recover his property.

The evening sermon was a strong
appeal to the unconverted of the COM
munity and this service closed the
work of the preacher in this city. He
goes tomorrow to assume the work
of his pastorate with the Fifteenth
Avenue Church, Meridian, where he
and his family will reside for the fu-
