Wednesday November 18th was quite G
remarkable day in the history of Nebo and
| Willtamsport stations ofthe NJ. E. Church
| South. The pastor, Rev. William DoSS
moved into the Port on the above mention
ed day. Mr.. ]. q. DObbins, worthy mem
Der ofthe Presbyterian Church, kindly vol
unteered to escort the preachers family
from Columbia, while the preacher super
intended the transportation of his goods.
1t had been previously determined by the
kind people of his charge, to give him and
his family cordial welcome. According.
ly, house had been provided, which had
been secured and set in order. On the day
of his arrival, provisions of almost every
variety came pouring in from every direc-
ton until tables, dining room, and smoke
house were filled, with not only the sub
Stantlals, but the IuXurleS OF life. The fol-
lowing address was then delivered by Mrs.
Emma +. Joyce:
"My very Kind and esteemed pastor:-As
one of deputatiOn from the Committee of
reception, give you and your generous
and noble family, in the name of all the
members and friends of your charge, a fra
trrnal greeting, and warm welcome to our
hearts and homes. We hail your mission
among us as q rich boon and a bright omen
for the good of society and the glory of God;
proud acquisition to the community and
strong ally to the church. Beloved pastor,
may your sojourn with us be the means of
paralyzing the whitening blight of sin, and
may 1t be forever pleasant green spot in
the history of your life, blended with
thousand happy memories. In the name
OF all the members and friends of your
church, 1 beg leave, most respectfully to
convey these boxes, sacks, jars &c, to you
and your family, as small token of our
regard, and an epitOme of our fraternal love
for you and yours, and again we tender you
a cordial greeting, and pray that the Divine
guidance be given you in your pastoral and
administration, and that God
may make you instrumental in extending
the boundaries of his kingdom, multi
plying the number of his SUBJECTS and
prepare them to dwell in his presence for
ever" To which the pastor replied in SUBJ
stance as follows:
Mrs. Joyce, friends and brethrCn:-There
is nothing that 50 chillS the heart aud freCZ-
rs The zeal of an itinerant preacher, as a |
cold and Indifferent reception by the peO-
pie OF his charge. While on the other |
hand there is nothing which SO encourages |
and strengthens him in his sacrifices and |
tolls, as the kind reception we this day re- |
seive at your hands. These articles which |
have the honor to receive from you are |
TO us as we come unprovided with |
such things, but far, far beyond their value,
is our estimate of the expressions thereby |
given, of your kindness and sym pathy, and |
your appreciation of my unworthy labOrS
among you. Permit me, from the depths of |
Of my heart, TO thank you for this noble
expression of your sympathy and regard"
The company then dispersed, leaving the
preacher and his family to muse over the
kindness which had been shown them, and

it was going to thunder on Tuesday

Wheat and rye in Hickman look very

AnIn1nrnstinn Marriage

From the Pulaski Citizen we learn
that Capt. !. d. TOwner and Miss Sc
mautha Bugg were married near Lynn
Vile, on the 29Jh of Oct. by Rev. VIM.
StOddert. Mr.. StOddert made the fol-
lowing closing remarks; Peculiar cir
cumstances justify passing allusion.
You were born, Capt. TOwner, III a dis
tant part of the country. When section
al animosities precipitated civil war, you
fought against the South. You came
down with a conqueriDg army, which
carried steel to the bosom and flame to
the roof. Your brother officers in many
cases used their irresponsible authority
to oppIess the citizens, over whom they
had temporary sway. You yourself had
power which you was free to exercise
for evil and self advantage. Instead OF
doing this you so showed the force OF
gentlemanly and christian principle in
all your acts that although the people
over whom you ruled knew that you
had shed your blood against their cause,
they regarded you IS a friend, and will
remember you with gratitude. The war
was hardly closed before you were re-
ceived into the bosom of one ofthe most
conspicuous families of the country.
You stand up this bright hour 10 make
your lifelong vows to one who is justly
regarded as one of the most brilliant OF
the women of the country. Your hlsto-
nv shows that our people regard man
as he is, and not as he is born North or
South of certain lines. l express the
hope shared by the many friends of
both of you, that your fair bride and
yourself will meet with much prosperity
and long happiness"
After the ceremony, Captain and Mrs.
Towner, accompanied by Mrs. Helen
Walker, Miss Anna McLaurine, Mr..
Terry DickersOn and others, proceeded
to CORTLAND, Ala, their future resi-
1enca
