FRENCH PROTESTANT CHURCH

The French Huguenot churches, be-
ing in severe straits on account of
the general devastation Of the war,
appealed to the American churches for
help. Their delegate, Pastor Russell,
recently took home a gift of something
over $4,000 and now Rev. Chas. S.
Mcfarland, general secretary of Fed
eral Council, reports that he has Sc
cured nearly, $4,000 more, which will
be conveyed to the French churches as
an expression Of the affection of Chris
tians IN America. The Federal Coun-
ell is endeavoring to secure about
$4,000 for the help of their breth-
rem in France
Such incidents as this are, at least,
CLEANS of light in a situation which
sometimes seems hopeless.

WHEN A MAN is POOR

A man is poor when he has lost the
confidence of his friends, when people
who are nearest to him do not believe
in him; when his character is honey
combed by deceit and punctured by
dishonesty. He is a poor man when
he makes money at the expense of his
Characterization he does not stand
clear out, supreme in his individuality
When this is clouded he is in danger
of the worst kind of poverty. To be in
the poor house is not necessary to be
poor. If you have maintained your
integrity, if your character stands
forth square to the world, if you have
never bent the knee Of principle to
avarice, you are not poor, though you
may be compelled to beg bread.-Ex-
change

ORIGIN OF COTTON

The country in which cotton was
first used has not been definitely de-
termined. 1t had long been known in
India before the CONQUEST of that
country by Alexander. The Greeks
and Romans knew the excellence of
its fibre according to the writings of
Herodotus %and Pliny.. When Colum-
bus discovered the new world he
found cotton in use by the natives,
and cotton cloth was found in the con-
quest of Peru and Mexico. Ancient
Peruvian tombs have yielded mummy
cloths made of cotton, but those OBJ
tanned from Egyptian tombs appeared
to be of linen, although it is probable
that cotton was known in that country
from quite early times.

DEPUTY HANLEY MAKING
GOOD AS COUNTY OFFICER
No~do-Jo no;,r
Mondays Daily.

Deputy sheriff John Hanley is
maklng a splendid record, since
taking the oath Of office just one
week ago. the new deputy has per.
fected some very effective arrests,
and Notwithstanding his diminut-
iveness in size, he has handled
some very robust characters.
The latest arrest was that made
on Sunday afternoon. when he
placed Tom Mincey, son of Bailiff
j. F. Mincey. residing two miles
west of Kossuth, under arrest.
Young Mincey, so it is alleged,
has been partially uncomfortable
in his fathers home, since his
mother refusal to sign papers ad-
mitting him into the service of the
U. S. Army. He reported at Mo-
bile, Ala, met all the requirements
and sent the papers home to be
signed, his mother refusing to
place her signature to the docu-
ment calling her son away from
home.
Later. the young man request
ed that he be given $35 in order
that he might go to Memphis and
enter the service of the street rail
way. This was refused. and as
the story was related this morn
ing, the young man became indig
nant. and in a manner, made GER
tain threats about members of the
family.
The matter was reported to
Sheriff Madden. and the papers
were issued, placing young Min
cey under a peace bond, and it
became the duty Of Deputy Han
ley to 60 to the Mincey home and
secure his prisoner.
Some little difficulty was exper-
fenced by the officers in taking
charge of Mincey, and the deputy
was forced to an unpleasant ar
rest. In his search of young Min
cey. Mr.. Hanley found pair of !
knucks.
Young Mincey is about 20 years
old.

GOOD BUSINESS TO SOME

Though Corinth has had some
few cold spells, it is the general
belief that King Winter has al
last reached Corinth. Hardware
dealers are selling stoves; cloth
ing merchants are selling goods
in their line; druggists have been
busy selling cold remedies as a
result Of the sudden change; ply
sicians are answering numerous
calls; the cold man doesn' t com
plain, but is reaping a harvest,
and business in almost every de-
partment is unusually good.
Even the ice man is doing q big
business, and among the earliest
risers in Corinth in the morning
with his wagon ready to meet the

One of the largest and happiest
Sunday schools ever convening in
Mississippi was .seen at the First
Methodist church yesterday, when
a total Of 552 persons, old. young
and kindergarten, were all seen
in great numbers.
| Corinth VS.. Tupelo-and Cor
inth won yesterday by handsome
majority. The seating capacity
in the Sunday school department
OF the church was taxed. Many
were forced to stand-but they
were happy, and cordial well
come greeted each one, whe enter
ing, was convinced that there is
always room for one more.
The Young Mems Bible Glass,
with Miss Elizabeth Fitzpatrick,
teacher, in charge, enjoyed a to-
tai number of 1S5 yesterday. 1t
was Red Letter Day-a banner
day for Corinth' s Methodist Sun
day school; it will never be for
gotten, and next Sunday gives
promise of being even a greater
success than yesterday. E
The number present at the Tu-
pelo Sunday school was AS,
against $50 in Corinth, the latter
winning in attendance by 104.
An effective advertising cam
paign was managed by the leaders
Of the Sunday school during the
past week, and some very strenu-
Gus work will be done this week
to make next Sunday even larger
than yesterday, and the Sunday
school will make an effort to get
every old man and woman, every
young man and woman and every
child in Sunday school, who is not
a regular attendant.
The object is a contest between
Corinth and Tupelo, and the rec
ord made yesterday will make
both schools do some splendid
work.
