NEWS FROM YEARS PAST
October 24, 1902
Maben Camp, W. O. W. on last Sunday observed the unveiling ceremonies of the monument erected by the order to the memory of Sovereign J. P. Freeman, who died some months ago. The exercises were held in the afternoon and was witnessed by only a small crowd. The monument was a beautiful and costly piece of marble elegantly and artistically carved and was manufactured and sold by the Columbus Marble Works, whose advertisement is found in another column of this paper.

Dr. R. M. Richardson, who was the beloved pastor of the Baptist church here for a number of years, arrived in Eupora last Saturday night and occupied the Baptist pulpit Sunday at eleven and at night, delivering two especially fine sermons that were both intellectual and religious treats to all who heard them. Dr. Richardson is at present pastor of the Rowan Memorial Baptist Church of Memphis and in some weeks ago he was called by the church here to succeed Rev. Mr. Loveless as pastor. His visit here was to decide just what he would do and before he left Wednesday night he advised the members of the local church that he would accept their call. Mr. Richardson, however, in under obligations to remain at Memphis through this year and may not be able to move to Eupora before January 1st. He will make occasional visits in the meantime and preach for the church and make preparation for his permanent location here. Dr. Richardson is a splendid pulpit orator, a man of superior intelligence and his pleasant and affable manners win for him warm personal friends wherever he goes. It is very gratifying to the church and his friends here that he has decided to again come among us.
THE STOCK ORDINANCE: The municipal authorities request THE PROGRESS to call the attention of the citizens to the town ordinance which forbids horses and cows from running at large on the streets between the dates of October 15th and March 1st. The ordinance authorizes marshal to take up and impound all stock found on the streets between those dates and require of their owners a fee of twenty-five cents per head for their redemption. The stock when thus impounded will be retained for the required fee and Marshal Eudy states that he will enforce the law to the letter and warns the public to keep up their stock.
