Long Branch.

The Rev. w Weakley filled his
first round of appointments at Sa-
lem and Hebron on the third Sun
day IN this month. The appointing
power rendered US a favor by send
ing him to this work a second time.
The appointment meets with and
deserves the approval Of al the
prominent members of the Church
in this nighborhood, and we hope
they will show their appreciation of
his services by promptly meeting
all the demands of the circuit. Our
pastors talents are above the ordi
nary, and our people love him, and
that together with his social quail
ties and exemplary Christian char
acter is sufficient evidence that the
workman is worthy Of his hire and
the laborer of his meat. We have
no instance on record of any
Church having q successful career
that didn't contribute of its means
to the support of its pastor. Ichabod
is generally written over its doors in
blazing characters, indicating that
its glory has departed, and that its
name is rapidly sinking into obliv
ion. We hope that this will not be,
the case with our Hebron. Hebron,
name made sacred by the recol-
lections of brighter days. Let those
who have been shouting free sal
walton for the last ten years come
up and throw in their mite and per-
haps it will enable them to shout
louder. Let those who cling to
| their boarded treasure with the te-
nacity of leech throw in theirs and
it may be that they will enjoy more
peace of conscience. l don't believe
that man in this land of Bibles
has any assurance of Heaven who
is too stingy to support the gospel
Nearly as well tell me of a sober
drunkard, an honest thief, as real
stingy Christian.
Our neighbors j. NJ. Parker and
d. p. Vaughn have put lightning
rods on their houses. Messrs. r
L. Phillips of Cornersville and Jas
Hardcase Buchanan of Pulaski were
the contractors. They used the
copper rods, and Jim says they are
the biggest conductor" j. M
Parker went to Nashville on bust
ness last week, and his charming
daughter, Miss Fannie, is visiting
relatives in Columbia. We wisl
her a pleasant time. j. p. Wood
ard shipped two car loads of hogs t.
his brother in Nashville last week
The market price had dropped be
fore their arrival and we fear tina
he realized but little profit Sucl
enterprising spirits deserve success
The Hon. j. Parker of Pulaski Wis
tied our town the other day. w
like his visits, his beatific smile
and hearty shake of the hand. Hi
: visits are like breezes from til

pleasure and leaving a pleasant e.

we wish him success. Mr.. Georg
Hays was severely bruised by th
turning over of a wagon not Ion

is improving now. The Rev w. I
