A United States Marine Recruiting
Station, in charge of Sergeants /. NJ.

WOODS" and CHATEAU THEIR

selves, in addition to other honors, the
name DEVIL D0GS.'
'Men who develop into sure
enough Sea Soldiers" stated one of
the officers, '"are not found in the
larger cities but in the cities and
towns which are all-American and
where the young men are able to
pass a physical examination more rig
i'd than required of West Pointer"
The Marine Corps is accepting for
men who are between the
ages of Is and 35 years who are of
good physique, sound and free from
either native born or natural
lied American citizens and who are
able to take advantage Of the many
educational advantages offered by the
Marine Corps.
Sergeant Greenberg is particularly
anxious that exservice men make his
office their headquarters when they
are in Jackson and any inquiries rel
ative to enlistment, claims for back
pay or allotments, state bonuses,
etc, addressed to him will receive i'm
mediate attention.

cULPEPPER CLOSES
TENT REVIVAL.

The ten-days revival in which
Evangelist Burke Culpepper did the
preaching day and night and the large
and splendid choir was directed by
Mr.. John u. Robinson, came to close
Tuesday night in the auditorium of
lthe City School Building, with a
splendid sermon by bro. Culpepper
and forty-nine persons admitted to
|ehurch membership, of whom three
were by letter, three had been baptiz-
ed in infancy and the remaining forty
three were baptized there by the mode
generally practiced by the Methodist
|church.
1t is generally known that the COM
ling of Culpepper was opposed by
some who gave various reasons for
that opposition, but DR.. H. B. John
ston, the pastor, stood firm in his in
sistence and now it is generally con-
|ceded that the Culpepper meeting has
been Godsend to Lexington and will
leave many evidences of moral, relig-
|ious and civic betterment.
Culpepper is man of high class
'religiously, morally and intellectually
|and the first impression he makes on
Ia congregation is the fact that his
whole heart and soul are in his work.
His singer and Secretary, Mr.. John
III. Robinson, is a man of the same
type and it seems that the Culpepper
meeting could hardly have been the
success it was had not Mr.. Robinson
been part Of the engagement, as he
Twas in 1915. "a gls.E & A
Fl The complete results Of the meet
ling made evident to date, are the ad-

church, six to the Christian congre-

ministers of the other churches so

the faithful service of Mrs. C. B.

never missed a service during the
entire meeting-nor must we forget
Those splendid singers Mr.. C. E. Sykes
and Miss Eula Moffitt, who rendered
valuable assistance with the choir and

DgJNcAN 81 u00PER GOES
TO THE JUDGEMENT BAR.

The Nashville Banner of last Sun
day chronicled the death of old Dun
can B. Cooper, as having occurred in
the home of his daughter, Mrs. DIR. Lu-
cius E. Burch, in Nashville, last Sat
urday night. Cooper had reached the
great age Of 70 years-and wholly un-
repenant, so far as we have ever
heard, for the misdeeds of his life
which eliminated in the cold-blooded
assassination Of Senator E. w. Car
mack by himself Cooper and his son,
Robin, who died a tragic death SOME
two years ago. One of the most not
able facts in connection with the mur-
der of Carmack by the Coopers, is
that Robin Cooper, the only son of
the murderer, came to a supposedly
disreputable and violent end at the
hands of scme other assassin or as
sassins, while the only son of the man
who was murdered in cold blood has
advanced in the honorable profession
of law ind is proving to be worthy
son of his illustrious sire. With Car
mack murdered, Robin Cooper killed,
old Duncan Cooper gone to Judgment,
Ham Patterson is the only remaining
man so closely connected with the
tragedy of Carmack's death-for it
will be remembered that Patterson, as
Governor, pardoned Duncan Cooper
before he entered the doors Of the
penitentiary-and if Patterson has
ever made or felt the least apology
for setting free the assassin of Car
mack, we have never heard of it. That
which man sows that shall he also
reap--here or hereafter.
