of saving the place to righteousness and God. Put man like MT Fancher in any community the wide earth round, and there would have to be some moving toward better things. We honor MT Fancher because he has stood for something; religiously we have always known where to find him. A celebrated preacher once said "If l had to choose between liberty and orthodoxy, 1 should take liberty and let orthodoxy go.'' The two should never be divorced: they are lovely mother and fair daughter. Ortho- doxy is right thinking, and If man thinks right he will live right.
 With one man in the right, let us not despair. The doctrine of the Bible, Christ and His little band of fol- lowers saved the world when Rome spread her great tetacles of ruin every where. Not brute force, mere force of numbers, force of senseless custom, but force of character counts.
 MT Fancher, you should feel honored when we tell you that you will be missed. Circumstances may change our place in life; but Gods great king dom, like the great tides of the sea, goes noiselessly on. You cannot check, impede or retard it's progress. l con- gratulate you, not upon being a wealthy man, for riches takes wings and fly aWay;I congratulate you not on holding exalted station, for the highest are often brought prostrate in the dust; but oI Congratulate you that, wherever you go, you will keep your faith in God like the polar star, which guides the mariner over the rough wave, your faith may sometimes have the clouds sweep across it, clouds of fear and doubt: but when the clouds blow over, and the tempest IS by. the star will shine unerringly on. May a true, buoyant, abiding faith in the deep blessings of God be your lasting possession, even unto death.
 Farewell if ever fondest prayer For others veal avail'd on high,
 Mine will not all be lost in air,
 But wait Thy name beyond the sky.'
 Miss Catherine James, daughter of J. A. James, made pretty little speech in presenting MT Fancher with Morris chair on behalf of the Haw- leyville people.
 MT Fancher responded with evident feeling, expressing his thanks for the handsome gift. Miss Jennie Clark kindly assisted in the singing, and with Mrs Terrill rendered two duets
