Priest, Former Baptist
Plans To Build Church

ARNHEM, The Netherlands,
NC)-A Dutch Baptist who was
converted and became a priest
returned to his birthplace here
to plan for the construction of
a church in Itaporanga, Brazil.
He is the Trappist Father Del.
datus, who was received into the
Church at Anthem in 1945 when
he was 20 years old. After serv-
ing as a soldier in Indonesia, he
became a Trappist in the Dutch
convent of Nieuwkuyk in 1851.
He left for Brazil a year later
and was ordained at Sorocsba in
1856.

THAT is the rejection Of
grace. Modern man of the
chronological age rejects the
notion of evil because to ac-
cept evil is to accept a sys-
tenn of values based upon the
supernatural, which he rejects
as improbable and unproven.
Thus he may, and does,
commit evil under the gUise
of good. The gas chambers
and concentration camps, the
regulation of political thought,
the murder Of political erimi-
nails, are demonstrations Of
modern mans capacity TO do
evil and call ii good since n

Mr.. Mitchell asserted at tha

Archbishop Patrick A.

chancellor of the university,
presided at the commence
ment, at which honorary de-
grees were awarded to Mr..
Mitchell and to His Eminence
Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviana,
Pro-Secretary of the Sacred
Congregation of the Holy Of

a~rarded also to DR.. John H.

She was nursed back to

achievements of technology in

he warned that a complete
reliance on technology can

stated.
A dependence on technolo.
gy makes man lose "the sense
of the real fullness of reality,
which involves a great deal
more than matter" Mr.. Nit
chell continued. "'Thus we are
asked to believe that Calvary
is less than Cape Canaveral,
and that a theologian knows
less of the world than an
atomic physicist.
"There is a final, more
grievous result of the techno-

the human being" he stated.

Once again the Little School
House near Lexington appears to
help play an important part in our
history. 1t was in this building
that Company "C", 18th Mississip-

are marks today on that building
from shots that were fired during
the war.
Even though small, a S~ecessional
Ball was held here. It was a big
affair and almost everyone attend
ed. The air vas filled with laugh
ter and the shouting voices of
celebrating people. Cannons were
being used throughout Mississippi
but Lexington was unfortunate en-
ough not to have one. A device put
together by a blacksmith served
the purpose of one.
Lexington was rather small,
therefore the blows resulting from
the war weren't as tragic as they
were in other parts of Mississippi.
The soil remained fertile and the
buildings stood in good condition.
Lexington had thought little a.
bout reconstruction. It wasn't until
the Carpet-Bagger and the negroes
began to seize a strong hold that
the people began rising.
Two men that long will be re-
membered in Mississippi history
are two Of Lexington's native sons.
They are Edmond Favor Noel and
Sydney Smith.
Edmond Noel was born on a farm
near Lexington March 4, 1856. He
was elected governor of Missis-
sippi in 1907 and is responsible for
the drafting of the original consti-
tutional amendments for an elect
i've judiciary and for making all
county and district offices elective
for terms Of four years.
Sidney Smith was born April 9,
1869 in Lexington. He was ap-
pointed associate justice of the SUI
preme Court of Mississippi by
Governor Noel. He became Chief
Justice in 1912, and held that posi-
ton for sixteen years. He served
in this capacity longer than any
other Chief Justice has served.
He has recently retired from this
position.

Although comparatively small in
both size and population, Lexington
has a tremendous historical value
recognized but by few Mississip-
plans.
Lexington came into existence on
June z, 1883. The western side of
the town was given by Samuel
Long, a half-breed Indian, who had
been allotted a reservation of land
on Little Black Creek under the
treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek.
His wife, Felicity, was a sister of
Greenwood Leflore, the great chief
Of the Choctaw tribe. Long offered
to donate thirty acres of this land
on the western boundary line for
the location of the county site.
Ohio w. BeaI who had acquired
the reservation allotted to Louis
Ward, also offered to donate thir-
ty acres of his land on the eastern
side if the county site was located
here.

prohibiting through penalty of $500

On January z, 1885, a charter was
granted to a number of men in Lex
ington to practice and promulgate
the principles of Masonry In the
county and some Of the surround
ing territory. Some years later a
dispensation was granted to a num-
Der of Masons at Richland, twelve
miles south of Lexington. This
Lodge was chartered as the Eureka
Lodge. The building in which the
meetings of this Lodge were held
has become one of the most I'M
marked, historical spots in Missis-
sippi, for it was in this little school
house during the years 1880 that
the original ritual of the Order of
the Eastern Star was written.
There was in the beginning much
discussion as to what place would
become the county seat. George
town, Franklin and Lexington were
the three that held the interest of
the public. It was finally decided
that Lexington would be the site
because of it's location nearest the
center of the county.
Holmes County was named for
David Holmes, the fourth and last
Territorial Governor and first State
Of Mississippi.
Lexington is known as the trade
center of Holmes County. It is also
the center of one Of the richest ag-

oil mill in the county, used for
pounding cotton seed into pulp.
