Each evenings low descending sun
Left loved ones here to welcome ME.

For love that all my way attends,
And make my happiness complete.

For hope that puts to flight each
doubt
And haven gives in ev'ry storm.
For all Thy goodness on life's way
praise Thee this Thanksgiving Day.

More Prizes From I he
State Fair

County Farm Demonstration A
gent, w. B Tate, has received a
communication from Assistant Dis
trict Agent, l. B. Kelvin, stating
that two prizes, other than those
already announced, had been award
ed to Pearl River County Club boys.
The awards were made in the
Corn Judging Contest. The first
prize, $500, was won by Lee Seal,
of Industrial, and the third prize,
$500, went to Robert Stewart, Hen
leyfield.
There is not another county in
the entire state that can anything
like approximate the number Of
prizes won by the Club Girls, Boys
and Women as Pearl River, and
it is a splendid commentary not
only upon the character of the work
they are doing, but also upon the
faithful and excellent service render
ed by the Farm Demonstration and
Home Science Agents.

LUCE FARMS SHIP FIRST CAR
SATSUMAS THIS WEEK

The first car load of satsumas
that ever left George County was
shipped last Wednesday by the Luce
Farms for the Gulf Coast Produce
Exchange and contained TIA crates
of we'll graded fruit that had been
each one nicely wrapped and pre-
sented a most attractive appearance
in the package.
The Gulf Coast Produce Exchange
handles this fruit through the Ameri-
can Fruit Growers Association on a
commission basis, experienced men
are sent out to watch the packing
and grading and this insures the
highest prices. The car shipped
last week will bring the shippers
around three thousand dollars and
the Luce Farms will have several
more cars to follow this one in a
short while.
The packers who came here to
look after this shipment were very
much pleased with the outlook for
growing business along that line
and predict a great future for George
County. Besides satsumas the nee

The Revival at the Methodist
Church has gone we'll into the Sec
ond week and the interest of the
people has not abated, rather it
sgems to have grown with the pro-
gress of the meeting.
Rev. Mark N. Terrell, the evange-
list, has been delivering sermons
of a nature to attract the crowds
and to hold their attention. His
broad-sides against the popular sins
of the day have caused people to
think, and to see the evils in their
true light, and many have gone for
ward and given the man of God
their hands on the pledge to accept
Christ and to lead new lives.
That there has been much open
sin in and. around Poplarville is
a fact patent to all right thinking
people ,and if the revival shall re-
suit in bettering the conditions it
will accomplish its best work. The
preachers have been holding late af-
-ternoon services at the mill neigh
borhoods and untold good has re-
suited, besides attracting the resi-
dents of those communities to the
church services.
The song service, under the lead
ership of Mr.. Victor Harrison, are
good and is one of the attractive
features of the meeting.
The meeting will continue through
the ensuing Sunday. Hours for
worship are HOO o'clock in the
morning, and TOO o'clock in the
evening. All the people are cor
daily invited to attend. One of the
admirable features of the revival
is that all the pastors and churches
are heartily affiliating.
There will be no services Sat
urday, either morning or evening.

Marshal Will c. Roster Captures
Booze Auto, And Negro Peddlers
Good work Accomplished
by Efficient Officer.
Prevents Get away

Town Marshal Will C. Roster did
a good bit of work early Monday
morning, assisted by Deputy Sher
if, Claude Simpson, in stopping
speeding auto, capturing some booze
and arresting the occupants of the
car, William Scott and Rodney Mark
ham, from Orvisburg. A third ne
groe, Fudge Bush, made his escape.
The Marshal had received in
formation that some negroes had
been dispensing white lightning"
at a couple of lumber mills below
Poplarville for some time past, and
that they were seriously interfering
with the working force of the mill
plants. Sunday night he was tipped
off that they were up to their
devilment again, and so, with Dep
uty Claude Simpson, he laid in
wait for them.
Between one and two o'clock a
car was seen approaching at rapid
rate and the Marshal stepped to
the middle of the street and sig
nailed the driver to stop, but instead
of doing so the driver stepped on
the gas" and headed straight for
Roster, but when he saw the plucky
officer stand his ground and pull
a gun he swerved the car around
the corner toward the depot. Both
Roster and Simpson fired at the
wheels and punctured the tires
causing the car to overturn, pin
ming Scott underneath. The other
two, fled but the Marshal shot one
Markham, in the hip, and after
ward captured him in Orvisburg.
Bush has not yet been apprehended.
A five gallon jug containing
about two gallons of the liquor
was found in the car. Primae fac
lie evidence of their guilt.
The negroes were given medical
attention and lodged in the County
Jail.
Their trial before the mayor mas
been set for this afternoon, and
it is supposed that the matter will
be brought to the attention of the
Grand Jury, now in session, so that
when the Town gets through with
them, the State may also take a
shot. Probably it might not be un-
wise to still pass them on to the
Federal Government. The sooner
these pernicious and outrageous out
laws are all put in the penitentiary
the better it will be for the county
at large, be they white or black.
Marshal Roster and Deputy Simp-
son are re ewing much commenda-
ton for the excellent piece of work
they accomplished.

zatiOn

The League of Women Voters
recently organized at Poplarville
held a public meeting at the Court
house last Saturday afternoon with
quite a goodly number of interested
women present, and few men to
add a touch of masculinity to the
occasion.
The meeting was called to order
by Mrs. L. Maxwell holland, Second
Vice-President of the State League,
who requested the Rev. Mark N.
Terrell, visiting evangelist to lead

land presented Mrs. Mabel Scott
Locke, the President of the Pop
larville League, who addressed the
League and assumed the chair.

gelist; A. M. Broadfoot, pastor OF
the Methodist Church, and G. S.
Harmon, Editor of The Free Press,

plans and purposes of the League.
The principal speakers Of the
occasion were Miss Kate Brown, OF
the. State Normal Faculty, Hatties-
burg, and Mrs. Howard S. Williams,
of Hattiesburg, member OF the
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee.
Miss Brown explained that the
purposes Of the League were pri-
marily to teach the women true
citizenship; to urge the passage OF
beneficent laws for child welfare
and for the betterment Of the con-
dition Of women wage earners; to
promote laws on social hygiene; to
support all proper legislation, and
TO study the various phases Of civ
ic government as related to, town,
city, county, state and nation
Mrs. Howard S. Williams gave
an excellent address on the Com
ing Citizen" which is reproduced
in this issue of the paper.
A large number of the women
who were present registered as
members of the League, and it is
proposed to make a County wide
campaign in the near future to en-
list the sympathy and membership
Of the women all over the county.

assisting in the demonstrations were
delighted with the attendance and
are sure that those who were pres

ishing of their homes.

were shown. Water and hight 1or

subiect of much favorable comment.
