honor of thrice conducting blush
ing recruits under its silken folds.
These delightful events occurred as
follows: September 20, 1880, at the
residence of the brides father, on
Jenkins creek, Mr.. Noah Jones and
Miss Ida ID. Tucker. It will be
remembered that in August last
Mr.. John d. Reed, of district No. 2,
was elected constable by very
large majority; but not being salts
fed with his official elevation he be-
came a candidate for matrimonial
honors in district No. l and was
elected October 6, 1880. The we'd
ding was quite an Ezellian affair, as
p. H. Ezell issued the license, Miss
Matte Ezell was one of the con
tracing parties, with the consent of
her father, William Ezell, and her
attendants we're Miss Sallie Ezell,
of Pulaski, and Miss Pattie Ezell,
of Millville. Messrs. Writ West
moreland and Robert Powell were
the groom's best men. That even
ing we went to the constable's home
and partook of a feast prepared
by his amIable mother, Mrs. Mary
Reed. One accident occurred on
this occasion. Mr.. James Ellits
horse fell with him, causing severe
bruIse or fracture of his lett arm.
We did all in our power to render
him comfortable, and it is thought
he will be all right soon. The third
wedding was on the next day at the
residence of the brides mother,
where Mr.. Adolphus Kirkland and
Miss G. Eldora Hastings we're unit
ed in the bonds of wedlock. Their
attendants were S. f. Tate and Miss
Matte kirkland, r w. Powell
and Miss Matte Bodies. The sup
per was elegant and the bridal par
ty all went with the preacher to
Testers Station to attend night
meeting. On their return the rain
fell upon them rather copiously for
comfort. l had thought the clerk
of the weather was too considerate
to throw such a damper on bridal
party.
AT this writing l am holding q
protracted meeting at Testers Sta
ton, assisted by Rev. M. r. Tucker,
who is doing good service. There
were six penitents at the altar last
night (Oct. Sth).
Since my last communication,
Mrs Martha Shields, wife of Mr..
George Shields, died. Her neigh
bors speak of her in high terms.
Mr.. John f. Westmoreland, one
of the enterprising cotton buyers of
Prospect station, had his hand bad
ly crushed in a gin recently, but is
now doing well.
Mrs Lille Harris, of Shoai creek,
has been quite i'll for weeks and
fears are entertained that she will
not recover. The health of Miss
Matte Kenny, of Bethel, has i'm
proved somewhat.
And now, Messrs. Editors, as |
am verging rapidly on the close of
my years labor on the Prospect cir
cult, will you allow me to thank all
the stewards of our church. all its
officers and members, all the mem
bers of other churches and all the
outsiders with whom l have come
in contact during the year, for their
many acts of kindness to me. Fare
well, dear, clever Giles countians!

Pulaskis Welcome to the Conference.


In the name of the citizens OF
Pulaski, of every religious creed,
we extend to tue members of the
Tennessee Conference a cordial and
heartfelt welcome. On ali occasions
the capital of Giles, famous for its
courtesy, refinement and culture,
dispenses it's hospitality with gra-
cious hand, but especially is the
spirit willing and the heart glad
when fCrtuitous circumstance
calls forth its display in honor of q
great and influential body of Chris
tians whose sacred mission chal-
lenges the profoundest veneratIon
and respect. We welcome to our
homes ard to our affairs the toiling
servants OF the Living God, whose
lives are consecrated to the work of
bringing the whole Laud under the
blessed sway of the Prince of Peace.
Pulaski venerates the livery of Heav-
en- and nowhere in the south will
there be found a community of
equal size which SURPRISES it in the
practice of those vital precepts
which underlie the stately edi1ce Of
christian character. We believe we
can show a larger percentage of
christians in proportion to our pop
ulation than any town in the state,
and certainly no community de
serves a fairer reputation for sound
morality. Especially are we proud
Of our young men. With remarka
bly, few exceptions they are either
connected with some church or
noted for their upright department
aud correct habits. The same may
be said of the entire county.
We cite these facts, because we be-
lieve it will be a source of gratifica
ton to our honored guests to know
that they are enjoying the hospitali-
ty of a people whose sympathles
and feelings are alive to the impor-
lance OF their work. Again, we ex
tend to them a heartfelt welcome
and we trust their sojourn here will
he pleasant and that in the years to
come they may have occasion to
revert to it as one of the agreeable
episodes of their lives.

ROBERT PAINE.
A Short Biographical Sketch Of the
Venerable Prelate Who Pre-
sides Over the Tennessee
Conference.


The venerable Robert Paine, SEN
Tor bishop of the M. f. Church
South, arrived in Pulaski Tuesday
afternoon, accompanied by his re
spected wife, and is now enjoying
the generous hospitality of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. B. Childers. His health
has improved recently, and although
the hand of age rests heavily upon
him, he is by no means as feeble as
we expected to see him. He ex
poets to be able. with some assist
ance from Bishop McT yeire, to dis
charge the duties of presiding Off
Ger during the sessions of the Con-
ference.
Bishop Paine, as is well known,
spent the early years of his life and
of his ministry in this county
Born in North Carolina in 1899, he
came with his father to this county
in May 1914, passing through Pu
laski at the time. His memory is
clear and strong and he has dis
tinct recollection of the men and
the incidents of that day. He at
tended an academy, near Squire
Malone's, In the vicinity of Lynn
vile, conducted by DR.. Weir and
Rev. Mr.. Alexander. two Presbyte
rian ministers. He commends in
the highest terms the methods of
instruction at this institution and
says the principals ground the elias
sizes into him so thoroughly that he
has never been at q loss for Latin
and Greek since.
The Bishop also had some expe-
rience in the mercantile line, having
acted as salesman for Mr.. Henry
Hagan, a Pulaski merchant, whose
store was located near the old tav-
ern kept by Joseph Shaw. After
undergoing a collegiate course, he
was ordained to the ministry in
1917, and began the work of an
itinel ant preacher with all the zeal
and enthusiasm of an ardent tenn
permanent. He was a conspicuous
and familiar figure in the great re-
vivals of the time, and had strong
predictions for that character of
work. Among the men of that
day whom he remembers and is
fond of referring to, were Charles
Alternately, James Patterson, Nelson
Patterson, Gilbert Taylor, Maj. and
Capt. Buford, Samuel Y. Anderson
and the Perkinses. Bishop Paine's
father, James Paine, who, for many
years, was one of the presiding jus
tices of the county court of Giles
county, died in 1910 and his re
mains lie buried on his farm between
Pulaski and Elkton. The bishops
only sister, Mrs. Martha W. Aber-
nathy, widow of Thomas E. Aber-
nathy, lives near Elkton. He has
not seen her for a great number of
years but she will be likely to meet
him during his present visit. The
lamented Booker Shapard was his
cousin.
Bishop Paine was raised to the
episcopate in 1916 and consecrated
at Petersburg, Va. He has sur
vived all of his old colleagues in
the episcopal office and is now the
senior bishop of the church. His
piety and zeal in the field of Chris
tian labor; his shining virtues in
the paths of private life, and the
lofty qualities of his mind, com
mand the respect and veneration of
all men.

Another Landmark Swept Away.

Thursday last, the soul of Mr..
Andrew Lewis Crow, the oldest
male citizen of Pulaski, peacefully
quilted its frail tenement of clay
and mounted to the mansions of
eternal rest. For many days pre-
ceding, his feeble frame lay stretched
on the rack of physical agony, but
the end was calm and peaceful
marked by a surcease of bodily
pain and crowned with the shining
hope of triumphant Immortality.
His funeral took place on the fol-
lowing day and was attended by a
large concourse of citizens and the
order of Odd Fellows. The SER
vices at the church, which were
very appropriate and impressive,
were conducted by Rev. d. L. Will
son.
Mr.. Crow was born in Mercer
county, KY, May 80, 1904. He
first came to Pulaski in the fall of
1927. Three years later he mar
ried Miss Elvira E. Hahn at Bards-
town, KY, and Immediately brought
his bride to this place, where they
have resided ever since. He wit
messed the building of every house
in Pulaski with the exception of
four, and retained to the last
vivid recollection of all the inter
esting events connected with the
early settlement and subsequent
growth of the town. For forty
years he was an active member of
the l. o. o. f. and never missed
meeting of his lodge when able to
attend. He leaves a bereaved wild
ow, herself advanced in age. He
was a genial, sympathetic and kind
man, with heart ever alive TO the
misfortunes and Affections of his
ellow-citiZens. His death sewers
anothers tie binding US to the
past.

The Torch Of Hvmen.

A felicitous event aid one which
Quickened the social pulses OF two
towns-Pulaski and Lynnville--was
the marriage, last week, of Mr.. Hen
ry M. Grigsby, of the firm of Grigs
by & Anderson of this place, to the
lovely and accomplished Miss Flor
ence Witt, daughter of Mr.. Carter
H. Witt, of Lynnville. The cere'
mony was performed at the resi-
dence of the brides father Thurs
day afternoon by Rev. w. Weakley,
and the following attendants accom-
panied the happy pair to the lyme
neal altar: Mr.. w. L. DuBose with
Miss May Gordon; Mr.. Henry Ar
rOwsmith with Miss Hattie Helm;
Mr.. Ed. Craig with Miss Lille
Witt. The wedding was strictly a
private affair, only the relatives OF
the contracting parties and a few
intimate friends being present
After partaking of a sumptuous
dinner the bridal party left for Pu
laski. arriving late in the afternoon
and registering at the st. Giles.
An informal reception was held
in the parlors Of the hotel at night,
the newly welded pair receiving the
hearty congratulations of their
friends. The groom, Mr.. Grigsby,
is a great favorIte in social and bus
mess circles and deservedly so.
No young man in the state is more
eminently worthy Of the confidence
and regard of discriminating com
munity than he, and the popularity
he enjoys rests on the secure foun-
dation of moral excellence and
worth. The bride, just blooming
into womanhood, IS endowed with
all the charms and virtues of her
sex. and the loneliness of her char
acter will make the home growing
out Of this new existence the abode
IF domastic Teace and felicity.
