Vicksburg Post On
''The Miracle Man.

The much -heralded "The Miracle
Man" has finally reached Vicksburg
and no lover of the artistic and beau
tiful and uplifting in moving pictures
should remain away from the per-
formances.
softening and hallowing influence of
guilelessness and unselfishness, are
depicted in a most novel and interest
ing manner.
Do you believe in modern miracles?
The plot hinges about the ability of
Cody old man to bring about re-
generation to those who are physi-
cally afflicted-and who have faith.
This is cynical age, but the power
of faith is strong, and some of the re-
suits obtained by prayer of faithful
followers can't be explained in any
other way except through divine in
tercession.
Visit the Shrine of St. Anne de
Beaupre in Quebec and see the noun
tains of crutches left there by the halt
and the lame.
Visit other shrines of lesser note
and then the central theme in 1.-The
Miracle Man" seems justifiable.
But even remove this theme and
still the picture is wonderful and the
acting and conception are superb.
Sincerity, goodness, simplicity and
| love-these things are known daily
to soften hard hearts, to Danish the
impure and selfish and sordid.
Just how the gentleness and trust
| fulness of an old man softened the
hearts of gang Of crooks and made
them over again into decent, seflre-
specting, lovable creatures is the very
| pretty story related in "The Miracle
Man."
The picture is better than sermon.
It will make your faith stronger and
give you more Of love for your fel-
low man, even he or she who has foil
en-, for the picture tells anew there Is
much latent good in us all-if only
the chance is offered and right do
ing for it's own sake is always the
best way, if one can only see through
the ewes of truth.-Vicksburg Post.

MAYOR FOR MORE
PAY FOR TEACHERS
Heartily Approves of Movement
SAYS Room Rent Has Reached
The PrOfiteering Stage.

In discussing proposed increase in
salary for the teachers in the Green
wood schools, Mayor E. v. Hughston
stated this morning that he heartily
favors the movement and believes
the matter should be adjusted at once
in order that the instructors for the
students might better be able to meet
the ever increasing cost of living.
"a committee from the Parent
Teacher Association, attended the
Council meeting Tuesday night, and
asked that the teachers pay be in
creased" said Mayor Hughston. "The
teachers have already contracted for
the present term of school, but the
Council recommended to the trustees
that they be given an increase which
would be effective for this term.
81 told the committee of Greenwood
Women" said Mayor Hughston, "that
the situation as affecting the teachers
for the present term, was largely IN
the hands of the ladies of Greenwood
who had increased the price of board
and room rent since the teachers sign
ed the contracts during last summer
Room rent has increased from 100 to
$50 per cent, and this is working q
hardship on the salaried people of the
city.
.9Of course the teachers occupy their
rooms more than business women and
they probably burn more lights anc
fuel, but the increase in room rent
has advanced more than is necessary
and has reached the stage of profiteer
ing"
Mr.. Hughston stated that he tolt
the committee of ladies, that practl
cally all of the increase in the salar,
proposed for the teachers would go T
the women of Greenwood for room
rent and board, which has rapidly IN
creased.
The teachers here receive from $SO'
to $500 for the term of nine months
the majority of whom draw the saiar!
Of 500 per month
The Mayor stated that he believes
the trustees would grant an increas
which would not only effect the tern
next year, bat which would help tn
4eachers for TIE present term.
