GOES TO WASHINGTON.
Former Denmark Pastor to Fill Pul.
pit in Capital For Month.

Washington, Feb. 16.-The board
of stewards of Mount Vernon Place
Methodist church, acting with DR..
Harry NJ. Canter, presiding elder,
have secured the services Of the Rev.
H. G. Hardin, brother of the retir-
ing pastor, the Rev. Edward X. Har-
din, D. D., to fill out the unexpired
portion of the conference year, due
to the assignment of the latter to the
pastorate of Central church, Ashe-
vile, n. c.. The Rev. H. G. Hardin
will supply the pulpit of Mount Ver-
non Place during the month of
March.
The new pastor is not a total
stranger to the congregation of the
Mount Vernon Place church. Dur
ing visit to his brother here a year
or two ago he preached at one of the
Sunday services and the impression
he made then is responsible for the
committees invitation to him to
serve the church at this time. His
church at McColl, S. c., generously
agreed to grant him leave of absence
to take up the work here. He will
arrive in Washington during the
week beginning February 25 and DR..
E. X. Hardin will leave for Asheville
during the same week.
Rev. H. G. Hardin has many
friends and acquaintances in Bam-
berg county, who will be interested
in the above Washington dispatch.
He was pastor a few years ago of
the Denmark Methodist church, and
has preached a number of times at
Trinity church in this city. He i'm
pressed his acquaintances here as be-
ing young preacher of unusual abil-
ity, and it is no surprise to them to
know that he has been called upon
to fill the pulpit of one of the large
Washington churches.

ENTERTAINMENT

Misses Oline Coffee and Grace
Moore very delightfully."- entertained
the Junior League of the First Meth
odist church Friday evening at seven
O'Clock at the residence of Miss Coffee
on Main street.
The entertainment for the evening
was ''In the Book World with Jun
iors." Each guest was asked to
come dressed to represent charac-
ter in some book. 1t would be hard
to find a more beautiful picture than
these children presented dressed in
their various costumes. They lived
fo1 the time in other worlds than our
own prosaic, everyday life; they met
men and women, boys and girls de-
lighted to know the kind each secretly
expected sometime to be.
It was Robert Collyer who said,
"Give a boy passion for books, and
you give him thereby lever to lift
his world" These young people dis
played the fact that they take the
keenest pleasure in books.
Each guest was given paper and
pencil to write the names of the char
acters represented and the result
showed that the Junior period is GER
tainly the story-book age.
Mary Robins received a small favor

Moore received BOBBY for being
the '.fun producing" character.
The children enjoyed number of
games during the evening. Delicious
cream and cake were served.

pleasant evening that will long be
remembered by all present. X

was one of the most elegant, as well
as profitable occasions that Tupelo
audience has enjoyed for some time
past.>
In the first place, to say that the
instrument is Moller, with a major
ity of speaking pipes, furnishes the
foundation for signal success, to
such an artist as Mr.. Lord The pro-
gram has already been published, we
only pause to speak in highest terms
of the selections; but will mention es-
pecially the tone poem, where Dusk
Gathers Deep" by Stebbins, and the
character sketch, Sunrise and Sun
set in the Alps" by Clegg.
The more elaborate and classical
numbers perhaps gave better oppor-
tunity for exhibiting the quality and
construction of the organ, and par
ticularly in the Toccata, did the
performer prove that the Vox HUI
mana or Tremolo was not fake, as
is the case in so many pipe organs.
The audience was appreciative, and
enthusiastic in their comments upon
this occasion.
Mr.. Lord is a member of the Amer

FIVE DOLLAR BILLS SELLING
FOR $4.14
.W.S.S

The United States Government is
selling $500 War-Savings Stamps at
$4.14 in March, raising the price one
cent month throughout the year.
People of this state should be i'm
pressed with the fact that $500
bill today will not buy as much or as
many Of the pleasures of life for
which we save money as will a War
Savings Stamp when it natures on
January 1st, 1923.
The war cannot be fought with pa
per money; we cannot wad up $500
bill and shoot it at the Kaiser and do
any damage; that bill is merely de-
mand for wheat, or wool, or gasoline,
or some material which our Govern
ment actually needs to successfully
win the war, so the wise thing for us
to do is not to spend money, but
loan it to the Government, get 4 per
cent interest compounded quarterly,
for it, and then five years from now
the Government will cash the stamp
and we will have the money-then it
will buy more of the things which we
want than it will today.
Il is not only good sense but it is
patriotic" as well, to buy warsaw
ings stamps.
