Lebanon Items,

Our neighborhood has been called upon
again to give up one of its old and useful
citizens in the person of Maj. Larkin New
ton. He died Sunday morning about 2
O'Clock. Just week between his and Mr..
Watkins death. Mai Newton was about
go years of age at his death. He had been
member of the Methodist Church for q
long time, and lived. a life that character
lied that Of Christian, and died claiming
Jesus as bis substitutionary sacrifice.
What comfort to those he leaves behind
to cherish his memory. He was buried at
Willis Chapel Sunday afternoon at
o'clock.
The following resolution was passed at
Lebanon Church (Baptist) last Sabbath.
Whereas, your Committee on discipline
are at loss to know where the line must
be drawn, and how to report members
for drunkenness, Therefore, be it
Rcsolrcd, That this Church deems all
drinking as a beverage as drunkenness,
and any found guilty shall bc dealt with
as though he was fully drunk.
We cannot see how she (the Chulch)
pastor, Rev. w. B. Hawkins, is full of
work, backed up by good judgment and a
charitable heart yet firm in his convic-
tions to duty. With such shepherd as
this, promise is in store for us.
Prof. Holland has returned home from
the Convention full of Texas and Arkan.

of leaving us this fall. We would like to
see him do the best for himself but are
loath to give him up. His school was
watched over by our pastor while he was
away, and is still running.
One of our colored citizens has taken up
and has in his charge black horse mule,
about thirteen hands high, which he can
not find an owner for. If any of your
readers know anything about it and can
