Even the high price of the slender

slider that such a riotOus extravaganza
had purpose behind It.
Jersey coats and skirts were
trimmed with fur, worn during the
summer months and hung In the closet
at other times. They were a bit more
of caprice than cOlOred sweater, so
women thought, but the manvfactur-

saw in jersey cloth a sturdy, reliable
fabric that could be standardized and
kept continually on the market like
serge.
Amazing Success of Jersey Cloth.
At the moment, it looks as though
the manufacturers have thought bet

rivals serge in the spring clothes, but
runs ahead Of it. Even the importers
in this country were surprised when

KtlltyMtr1lne CLOSED SUNDAY NIGHT.

The Kelley meeting at the South
ern Methodist church in Leakesville
closed out Sunday night; three SER
vices were held that day and the last
service was one of those kind that
characterizes bro. Kelleys closing
outs: general iubilation good time.
There were several accesslons to
that church and one to the Presby-
terean. OF course this meeting was
not like the one Bro. Kelley held
here some five years ago: the cir
cumstances were not so favorable
and the time given was shorter. he
being called away to Pucket for an
other meeting and could not remain
longer than Sunday, while the SIN
ger, bro. Swagerty had to go to
Shreveport. La, to see his vile in a
hospital there for an operation. To
our mind one thing that opens the
hearts of the people towards bro.
Kelley is that he comes preaching a
gospel of love and not law, not the
old mosaic dispensation kind OF
preaching which some seem to think
still the order of the day, and hence
the hearers are moved to hoier
things not because they disregard
the law but because the drawing
power of Gods love tends to swing
them'over and above it.
