! The Rev. Il. j. Jones, who ha:
been the pastor of the Methods
Church at this place for the past
three years, preached his farewell
sermon last Sabbath. The attea
dance at the church was small, ow,
ing TO the fact that the impression
prevailed that there would be no
services there on that day. How
ever, those whose privilege it was
to hear Mr.. Jones vera fully repaid,
for his sermon, an impromptu one,
was one of the best ever preached
to this congregation, and awakened
no small degree of feeling and SYM
pathy. Mr.. Jones has been assign
ed to Meridian for the year 1876.
We commend him to the good peo-
of his new charge.
Next Sabbath, Providence per-
hitting, the Rev. Mr.. Linfeld, the
new pastor, will take charge Of the
Methodist Church, for the next Con-
ference year. He is one of the
ablest divines IN the Mississippi
conference, and doubtless will give
satisfaction to his conyre-
CATION and the church people gem
orally.

been compelled to do what we ought to

the FIRST Life Company organized at the

prominent stand among her sister in

date of organization was larger, with one
exception, than that ofany company that
has ever done business in the South. Her
gross assets to-day are over $4,000. 900,

We can imagine nothing more
cruel, nothing more unkind, than
harsh and illtrcatment to the afflicted
those upon whom God, in his prov.
idence, has for some wise purpose
laid the hand of disease or bercft Of
some faculty or sense. To treat the
manned, the deaf and dumb, the
blind unkindIy is an objectionable
sin, and God in his own good time
will repay the unrighteous act. The
afflicted oftcntimes are gwen unto
US to try US. 1t is part Of Gods
mysterious way to try his creatures
and if they are true to the trust.
He will bless them for it. DIOR as

The Christmas holidays passed off
pleasantly and although much Ii
cense was given TO merry making
and rejoicing. and no small quanti-
ty of the ardent was disposed of,
we are pleased to state that no Sc
rious violation of the law occurred
Some practical jokes were played
by some of our young men upon
their comr AIDES who succumbed to
the wine god aud fell carly in the
action, Christmas night. We heard
of one or two young men being put
to bed as fair as the rosy morn,
who, when they awoke and took a
view of themselves IN a mirror, were
astohishcd TO find themselves re-
constru cted into very fair, or rather
unfair representatives of the fif-
tecn,h amendment. We heard of
another gentleman who was let
down into a well several times be-
fore he regained his consciousness,
and then went homo a wiser aud
