Lyceum Entertainment
Tuesday Evening
Very Delightful

Miss Hettie Jane Dunaway delight
fully entertained a large audience at
the Grammar School Hall in her pre-
sentation in the first person, the
story Of Daddy Longlegs". The en-
tertainment was unique in its orig
inanity, and from the applause it re-
ceived, was very much appreciated.
The musical numbers were also
very good, the young lady at the piano
was finished master, and her selec-
tions were very beautiful as the young
lady, herself. Prof. Smith, the mas
ter Of ceremonies, also made a hit
with the audience.
The Parent Teachers Association is
to be complimented on bringing to
Poplarville such high class entertain
ment. This organization has done
much for Poplarville in the past, and
all of their accomplishments merely
inspire them to greater things for
the home town.

Dan Kelly Revival

The Methodist Church revival is
breaking all attendance records for
such meeting in Poplarville, and il
is expected that the services will
have to be held in some other audi
to,ium before the close Of the meeting
in order that the congregation may
obtain seats All of the standing
space is occupied at every meeting,
and people are gathering in the
church an hour before the preaching
starts so that they can obtain a
seat.
''Uncle Dan" is sure coming up to
his standard in all of his Sermons.
One minute he has his audience
laughing at his humor and the next
minute he brings tears to the eyes.
with his soul stirring verbal visions.
( The singing service has been some
what disappointing, the choir has done
wonderful work, but the congregation
as a whole, has been letting George
do it, 1t is to be hoped that the
entire congregation will enter into
the spirit of the song service before
! many more services.
There have been no morning SER
vices this week on account of Brother
Kelly being compelled by his doctor to
go easy and take rest in the early
part of the day. Next week the
meeting will start in earnest, with
morning and evening services. All
the stores and business houses in the
town will close during the morning
hour and it is expected that the morn
ling congregation will be as 'arse as
slse evening.

Poplarville Plays
Gulf Coast Soon

The Poplarville Aggies defeated the
strong st. Stanislaus college eleven
Saturday at Bay ST. Louis by score
of ID to 13.
The feature of game from the Aggie
standpoint was all around playing of
Graft, the Aggies' big right end, who
in the second quarter after blocking
Rockachaw punt on the twenty
yard line, picked up the oval and
raced fifteen yards for the first Aggie
touchdown The same lean and speedy
end was on the receiving end of d
long pass and ran thirty yards for
touchdown in the closing seconds of
the game. Not content with scoring
both of the Aggies' touchdowns Graft
was in on every play on the defense
and starred in smashing offtackle and
end runs.
The great offensive playing OF
johnson, the Poplarville halfback was
of good quality.
Close behind him was the great
playing of White, who in the third
quarter kicked neat placement Kick
from the twenty-seven-yard line tnat
netted three points.
The Aggies line as whole was good
but the work of Captain Holden, Pop
arville's big center, and the two for
yards Lumpkin and Rouse, were big
factors in the Aggie victory.
!, For the Rochachaw collegans the
scoring was done by Bonura when
he caught forward pass from Gros-
sen behind the goal line for the first
touchdown in the first quarter. Cleve-
land in the last quarter snatched up
blocked punt and raced thirty yards
for the Rochachaws' last touchdown
and Gex kicked goal for the extra
point.
The Aggies so far have taken part
in nine games and have won elght
and tied one.
The tied game was a Z to one
with the Tulane freshmen, while those
who suffered defeat at the hands
the Aggies are Mississippi Industrial
school. Warren Easton Boys freshmen,
school, Mississippi college freshmen,
Franklinton High school, Jesuits col
lege. Sea Shore Camp Ground school,
Clark Memorial college and ST.
Stanislaus college.
The .Aggies now are prepplng Tor
their game with the Gulf Coast Mill
tarv Academy at Gulfprt Thanksgiv-
ing Day. They are not taking that
team lightly, and have buckled down
to hard work in preparation for one
frav as the coast eleven always has
proven a stumbling block for the Ag-
eies. The Aggies defeated the u. e.
Nj. A. aggregation last year by score
of Z to 6 in hard fought battle,
4 game which was anyobdy's until
the last whistle blew The Aggies now
are making preparation for next sea-
son and while Poplarville will lose
few of the varsity men by graduation
most will be back, and with the ad-
dition of junior college to high
school work it is very very probably
that the 1924 Aggies aggregation viii
be the strongest the school. ever has
put out. The schedule committee will
meet right after Thanksgiving to ar
range the schedule for 1924.
