DR.. Slough hasn't the acrobatlc re-
pertoire of Billy Sunday; he hasn't
the lurid past of Cyclone Mack.
But he has the love of God in his
heart and the gospel of Jesus Christ
In his mouth, and wonderful way
of making you feel as well as hear.
He is doing for Brookhaven what
Gypsy Smith did for Jackson. And
the modesty of the man is evidenced
by his assertion that the Brookhaven
Flying Squadron is not only greatly
aiding in the present revival SER
vices, but that the Squadron's work
paved the way for the miraculous
harvest of souls this meeting has
garnered.-Revival Bulletin.

What pity these "wlsehammer"
critics, who are croaking that "It
won't last"-meaning the recent
converts-were not present Sunday
afternoon to hear the testimony Of
eight of Natchez' most prominent
citizens, who. led by Judge Foster.
motored over to tell the story Of
their conversion at DR.. Stough's
Netchez meeting more than year
ago. Their faith in God is not only
lasting it's getting stronger every
day. Their eagerness to talk, and
the earnestness of those talks, was
beautiful and touching testimony Of
the reality of religion.-Revival Bull

Inns. and local assistants helped to
make the service effective in the
movement Onward" toward a bet
er place to live in than we've ever
Known before.
Delegations were here from near
oy towns and vicinities and many
we're on the outside looking in. be-
cause the seats were all filled and
standing room occupied.
Sunday evening the crowd was re-
oeated "and then some. The Whit
worth girls were out and contributed
oy classes to the local expense fund
1f the meeting.
The chorus singing was excellent
md Mr.. Eddins and Miss Poole uni
ed their voices in an attractive
luett.
Mr.. Wood made occasion to state
hat the organized Flying Squadron
vas not responsible for activities by
certain Christian men in attempts TO
i'd the town of undeslrables. But
le added "There is no telling what
man will do when Christ gets into
lis heart-we want clean town"
DR.. Slough introduced Mrs. Nc
Donald Watkins, Of Natchez, as the
woman who had maintained a week.
ly prayer service for women in her
city for over year, since DR..
Stough's evangelistic campaign
there.
The collection Sunday morning a
mounted to $400, the evangelist sta
ted, and subscriptions taken from
the platform ran up to nearly three
hundred Sunday evening"
More than a hundred women at
tend the morning prayer services at
$3.50 and the tabernacle service be-
gins at 10 o'clock.
The business women of the city
are holding a prayer service at the
City Hall each day at the noon hour.
1t is getting very plain to be seen
that the lewd, coarsegrained, moral
ly depraved man or woman is un-
desirable as citizen to the great
majority who are striving toward
high standard Of life. The vicious,
the wicked, the impure are "the
lame, the halt and the blind" Of these
modern times who can't keep up with
the procession under the burden they
carry. However they can catch up
when they "let CO." Many are
doing this in Brookhaven and all
over the State and are enjoying the
good company they find themselves
in. Go and hear about 1t at the Ar
cade at noon and under the tent.

Answer-The stock purchase war

fners per cent bonds entitle the
holder TO purchase twenty shares OF
the company's common stock at 500 a
share a. any time before June !, 1891.
Tho stock is now selling around SS7.
This warrant Is in effect a "eall" on
twenty shares Of stock at 90. and as
such is attractive with the stock sell
ing so close 20 the subscription price.
In other words. the holder Of a war
rant has the privilege Of demanding
twenty shares Of stock at any time
during the next nine years at $50, no
matter how much above that price the
stock may be selling in tho market.
These warrants are detachable. When
bond holder detaches the warrant
and sells the bond the purchaser
takes II purely as an investment Cen
eral opinion among investors az the
present time is that the bonds with
out warrants attached are worth about
lO3, and the fact that bonds with war

whether II would be more profitable
TO switch 10 a better security now or

you will have 10 use your own judg-
ment. You no doubt are fully aware
that automotive companies have in

Of the increased demand for motor

J. E.v.
Answer-The F. T. Daley Corpora
tion is a holding company. having ne
quired the entire capital stock OF ten
corporations engaged in various kinds
OF business. including shoe polish, eof-
feo packing and realty holding. A
combined balance sheet shows issued
stock amounting 20 S5.O50,357, which
includes partial subscriptions. There
arc apparently four classes OF stock
first and second preferred and Class
and Class B common stock. Pat
ents, good will, formula, etc, are car
ried at $780, .42s. which seems large
as compared with total stock issued.
The price Of S235 for two shares pre-
ferred and one share common may or
may not be a fair one. II should be
determined exnctly where the different
classes Of stock stand, both as 10 dis
tribution Of dividends and OF assets, in
the event OF dissolution. II you are
paying S35 for common stock, with
no near possibility OF dividends. the
price is too high. From all angles we
would be inclined 10 regard this stock
as too speculative and think you would
be wiser IL investment were made IN

which has an established record.
