The election of Rev.S.D Long
to the presidency of Martha
Washington College located at
Abingdon, Va, is an honor most
worthily bestowed and the wis
dom of the trustees in making
their selection will be fully evil
denced by the management OF
the school at his hands. Mr..
Long was reared at Verona where
he had splendid academic train
ing and afterwards graduated
from the University of Tennessee
with honor. He entered the min
istry of the M. E. Church, South,
upon leaving school and was ad-
mitted to the North Mississippi
Conference. His ability was soon
recognized and his assignments
were among the best in the Con-
ference. His health failing Mr..
Long went to the mountains of
East Tennessee to recuperate and
was transferred to the Holstein
Conference. He soon occupied
prominent pulpits in this Confer
ence and was made presiding
Elder. His latest appointment
was at Blue Field West Virginia,
where he is now stationed. The
host of friends Of Mr.. Long in
Mississippi appre ciate the honor
that has come to him and know
how we'll the honor is merited.
Under his direction the famous
old institution will continue to
hold a foremost Lace among the
educational institutions of the
country and it's reputation and in
fuence will be Widened.
