A BENEFIT LUNCH ATT
COMMENCEMENT ON 4TH

The ladies Of the Pattona Civic
League will sell lunch at commence
ment for the benefit of the school
grounds Of the Hermanville High
School
The overwhelming patronage Of
the Red Cross lunch stand last year,
and the expression of qualification
from so many at being able to buy
lunch, instead Of preparing and
bringing it from home, have en-
couraged us to believe that our stand
will fill a need, and still in no ways
interfere with the good old fashioned
basket dinner many Of our people
may prefer to bring.
IN thus announcing our plan,and so
liciting the patronage of our friends,
we wish to say that the Improvement
of the school grounds is only the first
step in the work the League has in
view, a needed means to the end Of
furnishing our young people with a
place for supervised play.
Tennis courts, good base ball
diamond, swings and seesaws are TO
be provided and the children are to
be looked after during the long va
cation days.
The lunch is to be sold in order
that we may thus secure funds for
this good cause and the patronage Of
our friends is earnestly solicited, and
will be most highly appreciated.

A VALUABLE WORK.

The Reveille is told by a white per-
son who was present at the commence
ment Of the colored schools last Fri-
day that the industrial display was a
revelation to any one who is not in
formed Of the good work the coun-
ty's colored industrial agent, Eunice
Gibson, has been doing. This wom-
an is never tiring in her efforts, and
she is teaching the colored youth Of
the county lessons which will not
only be helpful TO them through life
but will make Of them worthy citi-
zens who viii be able to help bear
the burden Of taxation when they
grow to manhood and woraanhood.
Our informant believes as does the
Reveille that the county Is getting
valuable returns from the small sum
it is paying this capable woman.

LOCAL METHODISTS
RAISE LARGE SUM
Local Church Assessed $500, or s5,-
500 After Deducting Credits, for
Five Years, Almost Over the Top.

The Port Gibson Methodists have
subscribed large sum Of money this
week to the centenary movement
which the churches Of that denomina-
ton in the United States are raising
this week The local church was as
sessed $s,2O0 for the next FIVE years,
but there are credits on the regular
assessments which leaves a net total
to be paid during that period Of $1,000
The campaign was to have begun last
Sunday and end next Sunday, but
the rain prevented beginning until
Monday. There were four bands of
workers sent out TO the individual
members Of the church, and by Tues
day night fully eighty per cent Of the
entire amount had been subscribed.
The other churches Of the county
seem just to have begun work today.
They are assessed from $500 to $1,000,
according to membership. Rev T.
A. Ferguson Of the Hermanyille cir
cult is at Pattison today assisting with
the drive. We have been unable to
reach any Of the other churches by
telephone today, the inference being
that the committees are too busy to
look after telephone calls
The Southern Methodists Of the
United States are endeavoring to raise
$4,000, 900 for missions and recon-
struction work; the Mississippi Con-
ference, embracing the southern half
Of the state, is expected to contribute
$1,000,000 and the Port Gibson dis
trict is assessed $4,000
But the money proposition is not
the main purpose Of the movement;
it is educational and intended to in
crease interest Of the church mem
bers.

bottle Of formaldehyde by mistake
The terrible acid burned the eye bad
