"A young mems Christian ossocia-
ton has recently been formed In
Sardis, aud promises well. The OIL
ccrs have been elected, and the whole
thing put under proper headway.
Rev. 7. j. Gooch Is President, ijr
A. |. Ellis, Vice President, Capt J.
+. Hobgood, Treasurer, Lieut.. :. g.
Spain, Secretary, and Rev. Mr.. See,
Chaplain. The Association holds is
meetings weekly, when n lecture on
some appropriate subject will be de-
livercd AT each meeting. II will I'M
doubtcdly prove Of much interest,
and will certainly accomplish much
good, morally and Intellectually. II
might, from its name Of christian"
be inferred, that none but professors
of religion or church members could
become members of the Association,
yet such is not the fact. A good
moral character is the only test APP
piled in admitting applicants for
membership. The whole thing is
due to Mr.. See, who seems indciati-
gable in his efforts to accomplish the
work Of his great and holy commits
sion. What apity that such men
are not more generally encouraged
everywhere by the presence, advice
and assistance of mankind generally.
Surely If such was the case, we would
live in a different and better world
than this.
! am glad to find that my young
friend, Hogshead, has become per-
mancntly connected with the STAR.
He, will make the STAR succeed, il
energy, activity and close attention
to bis position will do it. As an cd
itor, Major Ward Is more than for
tunate in securing the services Of
such a gentleman. May you, friend
John, succeed beyond your fondest
hopes. You want one thing more
a wife, to make you complete in life.
There are many beautiful ladies on
our side Of the river, and we invite
you to come over, and "spy out the
land" You might find one who
could, and il may be would embark
in the world Of Ncwspaperdom.
Who knows? Don't think because
the editor got iloorcd in his younger
days, and has never been able TO rise
since, that a similar destiny in stor'
for you. "Shun the ways Of all such
men," is good-scnsible advice.
The STAR Is becoming known al
: over the country. A paper in Pc
tersburg, Va, recently gave you |
"Jig" lift, and the 81. Louis paper
speak in the most hattering terms o
YOU. But Adieu.
MIcAwBER.
