from our quiet village. The farm
ers have quit visiting US much for
the past few days, since the sun has
been showing his genial face again.
They seem to be making up lost
time by hitching in two mules in
stead of one.
Our village has lost one of its
most esteemed citizens, Mr.. B. r.
Mathews, who came here from the
grand old Palmetto State in 1868.
Mr.. III. was a shining light in the
Church, member of the /. o. G. I.

death was caused from a confusion
by bomb on board the Alabama
during the war. Our community
deplores his loss, and heartily sym
pathizes with his bereaved family.
Our enterprising young towns
man, Mr.. Roy Kelsey, made a flying
visit to Lawrence last week and
brought back with him a charming
young bride, Miss Prudie Penning
ton. She is very handsome and en-
entertaining. We did not think
that Roy was going down there so
often for nothing. May their hap
piness be unalloyed, and may their
crib be full.
We think our young friend Dr.H.

We occasionally hear our mer-
chants complaining that trade is
dull and that they do not sell half
as many goods as they did some
years ago. That is true, and who
is responsible for this fall off in
trade? As Nathan said unto David,
"thou art the man." A few years
ago you advertised liberally, and
that brought a heavy trade to your
town. and you sold twice as many
goods then a you do now. and at
better profits And this is on ac-
count OF you not blowing Jour horn
as loud as you used to do. The
liberal>trade that you once had is
now being enjoyed by other local.
ties, simply because the most of
you thought and argued that there
was no virtue in advertising. Keep
on, gentlemen, hiding your light un-
der'a bushel, and if you and your
town should die with the dry rot
reccollect the fault will not lie at
our door. A $3.50 worth OF local
advertising does not speak very
highly for the business capacity of
what is termed first class town.

The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1877-04-26
From the Columbia District Directory
RehObOth.

"The first Methodist Church in
Giles county was built near Cross
water Creek. about six miles south
east of Pulaski. 1t was small log
house, and was named Rehoboth.
1t was superseded by large frame
church, which was destroyed by the
Federal soldiers during the late war.
Rev. Aaron Brown and two Of his
brothers, David and Lewis, Reys.
Samuel Harwell, Sr.. and Coleman
Harwell, were the men who built
this house. They were the irst to
erect q temple OF worship in the
wilderness, and were prominent
M mSmbers Of the first society formed
in the county. The Rev. Aaron
Brown was local preacher, from
Virginia, a man of great moral
worth, and a stanch Methodist OF
the old Virginia stamp. He was a
good preacher, and a devoted Chris
tian, and died in the faith. He was
the father OF FIX Governor Aaron
V. Brown"
For this interesting paragraph
we are indebted to Methodism in
Tennessee, by DIR. Jno. Is. NJ Ferrin.
Elsewhere we learn that this first
Church" was organized in 1871.
Was the name prophetic2 Rehoboth
signifies room, space. Isaac digged
we'll, and SCALED the name of II
Rehoboth; and he said, For now the
Lord hath made room for US, and
we shall be fruitful in the land"
Truly, the Lord hath made room
for Methodism, and she hath been
fruitful in the land. Much Of this
fruit has been gathered into the
heavenly garner, and much yet re-
mains. Well may we exclaim,
"What hath. God wrought" But ali !
Lord, "Our holy and our beautiful
house where our fathers praised thee
is torn down and destroyed and all
our pleasant things are laid waste" !"
Alas, alasl the broad, beautiful
space is still vacant, unadorned
by church or chapel. More than
twelve years have passed since the
spoiler laid his hand on the Lord s
house, and yet there is room, but
no.temple erected to God at;d dedi-
Gated to his holy name. Surely,
the time is come, "the time that the
Lords house should be built. Is IL
time for you, o ye, TO dwell in your
ceiled houses. and this house lie
waste? Now therefore thus saith
the Lord of hosts; Consider your
ways. Go up TO the mountain, and
bring wood, and build the house; I;
and / win take pleasure in it, and ]
will be gIoriied, saith the Lord" /"
Fain would the Philistines Of ev
cry age stop the wells Of salvation,
and cut of all supplies OF the water
of life. Bat shall we tamely sub
nit, and basely to the tempter
yield? No, no; like Isaac, let as dig
again the we'll which our fathers
dug, and call it by the same old
name. Rehoboth; ''ror now the Lord
hath made room for u.s. o breth
rem, by your memory of departed
worthless, by your desire to join the
holy ranks OF saintcd friends and
kindred dear, By your sympathy for
poor, unsaved sinners, and. above
all, by your lo,le for jesus, / pray
you arise and be doing; and the
Lord be with you,
