Holy Week at St. Francis Church,

There are times in the busy hum
drum affairs of life, when it is good
policy to pause, look, and observe
the way and the manner of our 60
Ing, and the eternal destiny to which
we are hurrying with time. A re-
Prospective glance at the wonderful
events that took place nigh 1000
years ago, solely for our eternal well
being, must arouse our enthusiasm
and determination to cooperate with
Jesus for our own best interests, both
for time and eternity. This is good
business policy, for the most import
ant business is to procure peace of
Conscience in this world, and happi-
ness eternal in the next.
Such time for reflection, annual
ly, is what we designate as "The
Holy Week par excellence" a week
of prayer and study of the moving
scenes in the Garden of Sorrow, and
in the Garden of Joy, the Glorious
Scene of Olivet's Glory, forty days
after the Easter morn. These man
lIeStatlonS OF the love of Jesus for
mankind of which he stands forth
as the greatest and most perfect and
the most beautiful member, will be
depicted in glowing colors and fluent
language by the eloquent and erudite
Southern Evangelist, the Rev. Hugh
j. Connolly of Tennessee. The open
ing scene, to be at 10 a. M, Palm
Sunday, April 9th, and at 1880 p m,
throughout the week. except Satur-
day, 1880 to $3.50, being chosen as
a special hour Of contemplation, or
a silent hour of sweet converse with

PIKE COUNTY ALIVE
WITH M0oNsHINE LIQUOR
List Of Sentences Imposed by Judge
D. M. Miller -Citizenship's
Support is Lacking.


Magnolia. Miss.-In its final report
to Judge Miller the grand jury says:
I'VE find that the crime of serious
nature and less serious nature is on
the increase. The county is alive
with moonshine or white lightning
liquor and in spite of all we can do
we find it next to impossible to get
the proper support from the citi-
! zens that we have a right to ex-
pect, and this accounts for the fact
that we cannot return more indict-
ments than we have returned into
court"
The report declares the condit-
ion of the public roads is unsatis-
factory to the taxpayers and urges
the Board of Supervisors to see that
the contractors keep the roads up to
plans and specifications.
Judge Miller imposed sentences
upon those convicted at this term of
court as follows:-
Henrietta Johnson, assault and
battery to kill, years in peniten-
tiary; Walter Cunnigen, assault and
battery to kill, one year on county
farm and costs; Dave Williams, re-
failing, $500 fine and 90 days in
Jail; Will McNab, retailing, $500
fine and 80 days in Jail; Robert Civ
ems, embezzlement, 500 fine and 6
months in Jail; Leroy Magee, as
sault and battery. $50 fine and 60
days in Jail; Clyde Bracey, attempt
ed assault; months in Jail and
costs; Mrs. Joe Brown, having whis-
key in her possession, $3.50 fine and
80 days in Jail.
Albert Weaver, retailing, $400 fine
and 80 days in Jail; Watson Hughes,
having whiskey, in his possession,
$3.50 fine and 80 days in Jail; Edgar
Case, petit laeeny, $50 fine and so
days in Jail; Kirby Greenlee, petit
larceny, $50 and so days in jail;
Tom B. Barnes, petit larceny, $50
and so days in Jail; S. w. Frances,
embezzlement, so fine; Jerome Mar
tin, retailing, $500 fine and 80 days
in Jail; Mrs. Richard Brown, resist
ing officer, $25 fine and so days in
jail; Miss Jewell Brown, resisting Of
ficer, $25 fine and so days in Jail;
Alfred Miller. unlawful cohabitation,
$3.50 fine; Mrs. George Willis, un-
lawful cohabitation, $50 fine. n
The court is now engaged in the
trial of Lonnie Brister and Sidney
McEwen, white youths on the charge
of criminal assault. 1t was this case
that caused Judge Miller to extend
this term of court beyond the sta
tutory term of three weeks. A spe-
cial venire of 75 men were drawn
from which to selct the jury, which
was not completed at the close of the
first day of the trial.

RAIN DOES SLIGHT
DAMAGE TO CROPS
Tomatoes Hit 10 Per Cent and
Green Peas About One
Fourth.

Crystal Springs, Miss, April g.
The following. is summary of the
vegetable situation in Mississippi as
compiled by C. M. Huber, the Crys-
tai Springs expert:-
For four weeks past weather con-
ditions have been quite favorable for
vegetation, except moderately hea-
w rain two weeks ago, and very
heavy rain, 5.4 iuches, two days ago.
More than half the tomato plants
have been transferred and the bal
ance will go there next week. The
rains referred to have injured the
crop about 10 per cent. Present con-
ditions indicate crop 25 to 33 per
cent larger than that of last season.
with first cars about June 1.
Cabbage is doing well and prom
ises to be-of good quality and a
good yield. The main crop will be-
gin to move about May 1. There will
probably be very few cars along
at intervals during this month.
Green peas are growing rapidly
and present conditions are they will
be of fine quality, but the very hea-
w rain of two days ago destroyed
many of the blossoms and the yield
probably has been reduced thereby 25
per cent. However, this will still
leave probable shipments 25 to 33
per cent larger than last season. First
cars will move April IL to IA, with
very few from the earliest plant
ings earlier than that, but not likely
in sufficient quantities to load
straight cars.
Wax and green beans have been
planted more freely than at first in
tended and the acreage will show a
10 to Is per scent increase over last
years. First cars will move about
May 10.
Carrots and beets are growing nice
ly, but the crop was reduced 25 to
40 per cent by the low temperature
of the first week in March, which
leaves the equivalent of last years
acreage, so that about the same vol
ume Of shipments may be expected.
The main crop will not be ready for
market til about May /, but small
acreage, planted much earlier than
usual, will begin to move next week
in limited way, probably not suf-
1cient for straight cars until about
April IL.
Strawberries in both South Missis-
sippi and Louisiana had started in
car lots, but heavy rains this week
will probably reduce the yield some.
With warmer weather next week the
shipments will increase, rapidly. In
dications are that the total movement
Will exceed that of last season.

more prisoners are brought in, the
county will have to transfer some
of them to other jails. as the Ha-

in Ponchatoula, La. The prisoner is
Clifton Socier, of Ponchatoula, but

A reward of $3.50 had been offered
for the man. Meadows having liv-
ed near Socier, knew him, and ar
rested him when he came to Hope

Meadows said that Socier had a
