Rev. T. M. Christian, pastor of the
Methodist church, turned his congre¬
gation over to the Baptist friends on
last Sunday, inasmuch as the Baptists
were having a big meeting and sever¬
al of their leading ministers present
with them. We commend this liberal
spirit inoilr Methodist pastor, and we
need more such. Wo think it nothing
but right for one congregation to help
another when they are making extra
efforts to accomplish good,
Kev. Mr. Christian, in compliance
with earnest requests, sj»cnt the' Sab
bath out at Central Point Church,
nine miles from the city, and preached
twice—at 11 a. m,« and at 4 p, ttl -—to
very large congregations. The results
were a great awakening on the part
of the pcoole, ahd an addition of seven
to the 'Church. Among these arc
sonic of the most prominent and in¬
fluential people of that community.
The brother from whom we obtain¬
ed this information, says the church
is in a fine condition for a revival.
The pastor. Kev. Mr. Johnson, will,
we hear, begin a scries of meetings
there very soon. The Methodists
have nearly completed their splendid
new church in that community, ahd it
will be an honor to those people when
finished* Our Methodist brethren, as
might he expected from their charac¬
teristic zeal, arc gaining rapidly a
strong following out there.

of Forsyth : Dr. Gwaltncy, of Borne;
T. C. Boykin, of Decatur, and John T.
Rogers, of Reedy Springs, wills some
others whom we would call “home
folks.”
The interesting programme was
carried out in full, with ait additional
subject, “Our Educational Interest,”
ably—very ably—discussed by Dr.
Gwaltncy.
The subject, “ Training young eon
verts 4 ” was changed from Dr. McCall
to Dr. Branham, who discussed it to
the satisfaction of all present.
Several speeches of marked interest
were made, notably among which can
lie mentioned Col. Stanley’s, ot Dub¬

Blanton’s.
Some good papers were read, show¬

remainder of :ho week will ffe devot¬
ed to the criminal docket.
t T pon the' conclusion of the civil
business on Tuosday, the tedium of
the hours were enlivened by the sol*
cmnization of the marriage of Mr,
James McLeod and Miss Silva Jen¬
kins, in the court house, brother
Aaron Perry officiating. Thus the
jail was delivered of one more prison¬
er and the criminal docket of one
more case.
There are not many visiting attor¬
neys Upon court) as most of the busi¬
ness is transacted by our local bar.
We notice Judge Pate of Hawkins
▼ille, and Col. Cults of Abbeville, at¬
tending the court.
Bailiff Cooper is training a dog to
ling the bell fit the court house. The
dog neglected his business, and
4 treed the deer on tile court house,
ami held him at bav all night to the
great annoyance of Col. DcLacy in
his slumbers, who lives near there.
Judge Kibbec is clearing off the
dockets, and expects soon to be up
with ills business. There will he no
criminal cases of much importance
before the courts.

and cannot be of much interest lo the

i folly looks after, as well as several otln
, interests ot the company: and I
j dunk the encomium I passed upon
i him was deserved, and could not he
; objected to in any way, except by
those having an object in so doing.
True, I told a friend I wrote from
what I heard. Is not your eorre<p<»nd
ent posted enough in logic to under¬
stand that the cause, hearing or learn¬
ing from good authority, hauls fo the
effect—knowing? The other nonsen¬
sical portion of his letter is hardly
worthy of notice. I see that lie stoops
to invectives. I know of a dozen or
more cognomens applicable to his '-use.
but I know the rules that govern
newspaper contraversies too well, be¬
sides I Hatter myself that 1 am gen¬
tleman enough not to stoop to apply
them.
No, thanks, Mr. “Here and There; .**
we do not want to know tin* explana¬
tion of “moss-back.” We thirst not
Ufter such knowledge; keep words
like that and their meaning for men
of your own taste—those who appre¬
ciate slang. Lay not, either, the flat
tching Unction to vour soul that the
remark about every one attending to
their own business ever referred to
me. 1 just t<>ok notice of it to snow
the Inconsistency of your convictions
and your actions.
For causes already mentioned in
this article, (as well as that somebody
is getting too much free advertising)
we will have to treat anv further eor
raspondence from “ Here and Then.*”
with silence: and for the cause that we
have heard that he is not what lie

So now the public can form their
own opinion about the whole “job;”
but I would ask them not to judge
him too harshly*—have pity on his
weakness.
Before letting the subject go down
into oblivion and bidding “II ere and

I would ask of hurl—that when lie

We all have good crops in this sec¬

in corn near here that will make 0110

thinks that he will get a bale to tho
acre.
Take Mr, Barber all in all, and bo
is as clever an old gentleman as there
is in the county, and is one of lief
most substantial citizens. He lives
at home and attends to Mr. Barber's
business.

done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making tho
