Home Paper Tells of Life of Daniel
Morris.

In referring to the death of Mr..
Dauiel Morris, father of Mrs. julius
Priebatsch Of Brookhaven, the Ten
sas Gazette, published at st. Joseph,
La, said: Daniel Morris was born
some seventy-seven years ago in
Germany, immigrated to America as
"a boy, came to live in Tensas Par
ish in 1866" x He passed thru
many vicissitudes of fortune but in
his old age was able to retire from
active business life, all of his chill
dren educated and provided for, and
with competence sufficient for the
wants of himself and his good wife"
X Those of us who know his
gentle nature, his charming hospi-
tality, his abundant charity, his low
ing heart, his devotion to family,
his loyalty to friends, may well weep
over his loss. The world was brighter
for his presence in it; to meet him
was a benedictfon. His heart was
always right; you could count on
him. What more or better qualities
can one demand of any man? We,
who are proud of our parish, are
glad that fate cast his lot among us,
and mourn his loss. May the know
ledge of the affection we bore him
console his bereaved ones"

A highly enjoyable and whole
somely delightful banquet and talk
fest gave pleasure and entertainment
to some rs members of Hon. ]. A.
Naul's Sunday School class and in
vited guests Tuesday night in the
banquet room of the church. Mr..
Maui, as toastmaster, commented
happily on the occasion, the speak
ers, and the ladies who prepared
such an elegant spread.
]. Meredith Wood representing the
Methodist Sunday School made a
short talk in which he related his in
itiation into Sunday School work
some "a years ago. Mr.. John Lip
sey spoke of the responsibilities of
Sunday School teachers.
DR.. o. NJ Arlington in humorous
vein admitted that his boyhood at
tendance at Sunday School was more
on account of parental pressure than
personal inclination. Attorney P. q.
Jones briefly reviewed the many ben
efits and advantages of Sunday
School Attorney James Yawn gave
a synopsis of a courtship between a
Baptist boy and a Methodist girl
(himself and wife) which was both
laughable and instructive. Mr.. F.
F. Parsons and Mr.. Sam Walker also
made short talks.
The Baptist Sunday School class
for men, of which Mr.. Maui is teach
er, is one of the largest classes in
the state. In fact, until recently
when all under 81 were taken into
another class. the mems class at the
Baptist church was the
largest mems class in the south.

FIVE PEOPLE GO ON
GYPSY SMITH TRAIN
Special Unadvertised Excursion
Fails-Public Not Aware
of Opportunity.

Trains today brought large
numbers of people from Brook
haven and Purvis to attend to-
nights meeting. If the crowds
keep on growing an addition
simply must be built to the
great building, or else hundreds
yes, thousands, will be turned
away.-Hattiesbur American.
The large number of people,
must have come from Purvis, Bro.
Williams, as Brookhaven's represen-
tation consisted Of only five. They
were Mr.. and Mrs. ]. M. Wood, Miss
Maggie Mason, Miss Maude Elsie
KEGS, and Miss Lillian Hamilton.
The fact of the prospective trip was
not generally known or the coach
es reserved for the occasion of the
visit the Gypsy Smith meeting rast
Friday, would, doubtless, have been
well filed.
However, the small Brookhaven
party that did go were charmed
with the cordiality and hospitality
extended them at the hub of Forrest
County.
There were ex-Brookhaven resi-
dents in the waiting, welcoming
crowd at the Hattiesburg station
the Leggetts, ,O'Donnells, Gaddys,
Lairds, Hannahs, McCloskeys, Mrs.
Offutt and others, the Brookhavenites
were delighted to again meet.
One of the number says that Gyp-
sy Smith is preaching under an l.
deal environment and favorable con-
ditions. The mammoth tent that
will seat $500 is overcrowded and
other thousands stand on the out
side, as many looking in as possible,
while others are unable to catch a
word of the message from the stand.
ESQ regularly occupy the choir
stand. There were seats-many un-
occupied, alas!-reserved for the
hundreds expected from Brookhaven.
The Leader cannot help but ven
ture the suggestion that a little
news-ink used to Tell the Story" of
the anticipated trip would, doubt
less have added many to the visiting
number who now can only wish they
had known about it.

RUSSELL WINS OUT
IN $lOO,OOO.O0 SUIT
Jury Out Only 2S Minutes in
Famous Case-Oxford De-
serted After Trial.

An Oxford correspondent writes:-
The ending of this sensational
drama was as strange as the rest OF
the trial had been. The day had
been rich in dramatic values and the
charges to the jury had been full Of
fire. All the principals had been in
court all day. Governor Russell was
there. obviously nervous for the first
time. and his wife beside him, smil-
ing less than yesterday, but keeping
herself under control at all times.
The governors face was masklike,
but he moved restlessly, seldom keep
ing the same position for more than
a minute at time.
Frances Birkhead, wrapped in a
heavy blue coat, sat with her profile
turned toward the judge. near her
attorneys. Today she was absolute
ly quiet. neither whispering as for
merly, nor moving from her relaxed
position. Her chin was buried in her
fur neckpiece, and she rested her
cheek against her hand.
When Judge e, R. Holmes had in
structed the jury and they had filed
from the room the court emptied.
Only the Judge remained, talking
with a friend in the court room
where man was putting out the
lights.
AS he was leaving the room mes
sage was brought to him that the
jury-after % minutes-had reach
ed decision.
He asked that they be brought in.
They filed slowly in through the big
door and stood in semi-circle be-
fore him-the quiet, taciturn farm
ers which constituted this Jury.
There was no one else present except
two newspaper men, and one or two
stragglers who stood curiously by
the door.
The foreman, Richard Cheatham,
farmer of Walls, Miss, handed the
judge slip Of paper, and he said
''We find in favor of the defendant.
That was all.
The judge did not change express
sion. He nodded and said: That's
all gentlemen; you may CO." And
they filed out of the courtroom as
they had come from the empty, echo
ing chamber. AS the judge approach
ed the men from the press, he step
ped for moment: "Glad to have had
you with us, gentlemen" he said,
and passed smiling quietly.
With one accord the newspaper
men ran downstairs and across the
courthouse square to the hotel where
Frances Birkhead sat by the stove,
reading the evening paper. She
turned pale, but was composed. She
said ve-y little Then she went into
the dining room, alone, and sat down
at table.
Two friends Joined her.
When seen at his home, Governor
Russell smiled and said that his only
statement would be a written one
brief, note of thanks to his friends.
That was all, Mrs. Russell only
smiled-a tired smile-so ends the
drama-with a anticlimax. 1t is
over. The hotel is emptying rapidly.
Men are rushing to trains. The lobby
is piled with luggage. Newspaper
men button their overcoats, sling
their typewriters and suitcases over
their shoulders and hike to the sta
tion.
Ho-hum. Call it a day.
