renceburg.
Comments on the Town
by a Stranger.

Mr.. EDITOR
On the morning of the 14th inst.
| left Mt, Pleasant for your town,
| was met by Rev. j. p. Funk the
Pastor of the Methodist church
south at Lhwrcnceburg. We soon
found our way to the church, We
held q service at which there were
several present. On Sunday we
had a very good audience and q
very delightful meeting On Sat.
urday evening and Monday morn
ing we took in the town, it was the
first time that | had seen Law
rehceburg, we were glad to see so
many indications of thrift and en-
torpriscs. Many of the stores as to
the buildings and goods would be
an honor to any country town in
the state, another thing, quite no.
ticable in your town is the large
number OF handsome residences
and neat cottages. The churches
speak well for you. One of the best
things | saw is the school building
it indeed speaks we'll for the town
and county, that can be made one
of the prctties, places in the state.
Lawrenceburg ought to have very
fine school. We had the pleasure
of opening the school for Prof. Hen
ry. We met several cid friends
during our stay in the town, among
the number Mr.. J. M Gilmore and
wife they have beer long and favor
ably known by us, we were glad to
find our old friend Gilmore doing
so we'll both in business and in
the church, Jim always would
work for the church. 1t gave us
much pleasure to meet Lawyer
King and hiscultiyated wife whom
we knew at Santa Fee in Maury Co.
We made many delightful friends
while in your town. Wishing the
Ed. and the whole county well. ]
am yours.

The newspapers a, potent factor, a
valuable agency in the development and
progress of community in which it is
Published, bnt the newspapers of town
may boast of its advantages, boom it
and sound its praises until doomsday
without material benefit unless the cit
j zens Of the town manifest IN a more
ubstantail way, than by mere talk,
W hich is very cheap, that spirit of pub
lie interest and enterprise which is nee
essary to the continual grow tn and pros
perity of any community. No matter
how great the natu raj advantages of a
community if its people are without
public enterprise or the disposition to
encourage the Investment of capital or
the growth of industrial enterprises it
will attract neither Exchange,

should devote at least one sermon to call
ing attention to the. good work OF some
branch Of the church other than their
own, especially those branches whose
many excellencies are obscured from the
observation Of their fellow Christians by
the prejudice and suspicion engendered
