The voice to fight man's shameful sin Against the beast and bird. Give us a heart with love so fraught For all created things That even our least unspoken thought Bears healing on its wings. / Give us religion that will cope With life's colossal woes, And turn a radiant face of hope On troops of pigmy foes. y Give us the mastery of our fate In thoughts so warm and white They stamp upon the brows of hate Love's glorious seal of light.

JONES WRITES PARTING WORD \ In closing a ministry of two years in Hattiesburg, my thoughts go back over that short time and suggest ques tions and answers which are very sacred to me. Looking back I have sought to find some language with which to express my appreciation of the kindness we have received from the hearts and hands of so many of Hattiesburg's best people; but my use of language falls to measure up to the gratitude of my heart. I have never lived among a more courteous people, whoe kindness is not circumscribed by denominational distinctions. All have been univers ally kind to us. My association with the pastors of other churches has been most cordial. We have dwelt together in the unity of the spirit.

The Owl Drug Store ' HOLIDAY JAG HAS ARRIVED The first Indication that the holi days are approaching, was manifested in the police court, was shown this morning when three cases of plain durnk and one of drunk and fighting, were up before his honor, Justice John son. The plain drunks were let off with a fine of $1 each, and the drunk and fighting case brought $2.50. It has been some time since there were as many as four cases of drunk enness before the police court on any one morning, and the fact that there were four this morning shows that the Christmas business has opened up. In this conection, it has been observed that there are very few cases of drunkenness before the police court at any time. This is not taken to indicate that the police are any less active than they have been In the past, but it is a clear indication that there is less drunkenness in Hatties burg now than at any time in the past. It is seldom that a drunken man is seen on the streets of the city and when one makes his appearance he is almost certain to be nabbed by the police. It is believed that there is less drunkenness in Hattiesburg than in any other place of similar size in the state. There will probably be an increase in the number of arrests for drunken ness this week, but it is not believed the number will be considerable, as compared with other years, during the holidays. On Wednesday afternon, December 23, after 2 o'clock, we will sell 100 fancy large bowls 75c and $1.00 kind at 25c; 75 fancy large cake plates 75c kind at 20c; pitcher and six glasess cut glass patters, 75c at 70«.
