citizens, has been confined to his
bed for several days, by illness.
Circuit court Of Rankin county

The last term was pretermitted.

more than likely that the business
will be disposed of during the first
two weeks.

The Boy Scouts are very much
alive. They have a good organi-
cation here now, and are doing
real work. The Scoutmaster has
as his assistant, Mr.. Terry Suber,
and he has raised Paul Jones to
fill the position of Senior Patrol
Leader. In the future the Scout
master will meet the boys twice a
month, the Assistant Scoutmaster
twice month, and the Senior Pa
troll Leader will have them two aft :
ternoons in the. month for drill.
This will give them plenty to do.
They are looking forward to their
trip next summer to the Coast,
where all of the troops under the
Leader go for their summer camp
ing trip. This not only gives them
wonderful training in scout work,
but it also gives them the opportu-
nifty of seeing a different part of
the country, in that way broaden
ing their minds, iahd in having a
good time. AS soon as they get up
on their work they will have q
public demonstration. The Scout
master asks that all do their part
to push this organization forward,
by cooperating with him in every
way possible. The young boys are
our future leaders; no effort, no
work, no contribution, is lost, in
doing all you can to assist him.
Last Thursday night January s,
there was held in st. Luke's Epis-
copal Church the first Community
meeting. 1t was we'll attended.
We hope that the first Thursday
night in next month will be better
attended. The Rector's idea in
holding these meetings is to bring
the community together. The SUBJ
jects discussed are chosen. by the
congregation. The Rector talks
fifteen minutes and then all who
will, have the privilege Of advanc-
ing more ideas, or discussing the
subject as whole. The subject
last Thursday night was what
does the Church owe to the Com
munity". The first Thursday
night in February the subject will
be "What does the Community owe
to the Church, and how, and what
can Brandon do to increase the
Community spirit" AS one Bran
don citizen says eve can get to-
gether and talk about almost any
thing but Christianity, well why
can't we get together on that" He
is right. We place our Christiani-
ty too far off-in the clouds-.Rut
it is right herein our midst. The
thing that we need is plan to put
F into practice christian principles
every day, not only on Sunday, and
every where, not only in the
