One Edwin Hall, a lecturer, had an
appointment to deliver a lecture at the
Baptist church in this place last Sun
day evening, but for some reason
the audience was quite small, and the
lecturer was indignant, in consequence.
In a rather insulting manner he de
clined to deliver his lecture. This was
his second attempt to get an audience
here, and failed both times. Reused,
so it is said, some rather caustic lan
guage in regard to the lack of intelli
gence of the people of Summerville,
presumably because they failed to ap
preciate his talents as a lecturer. It is
said that on his first failure here, he
stated that the people of the town
didn't know that the war was oxer, and
expressed the opinion that they were
still using Confederate money as a
medium of exchange. A few of the
people heie seemed to believe that the
so called “professor” was worthv of all
i honor, while there were others—the
j sinful and unregenerate—who thought
i that a cold bath in the big spring would

Rev. J. J. Andrews who lived east
of town, died last Thursday night after
a brief illness. He had lived to the
good old age of about 82 years, about
fifty years of which had been spent in
the Baptist ministry. His plain, sim
ple, unassumming Christian character
had endeared him to all classes of peo
ple, and some of the strongest and
best friends he had were men “of
the world, worldly.” He preached—
and belter still—practiced the doc
trine of love and forgiveness. He had
no harsh and bitter criticism for those
with whom might not agree, but it was
always a pleasant greeting, and a kind
ly word of love and admonition for the
spiritual wanderers. In his quiet, hum
ble way he had accomplished great (
good and left the impress of his
li f e and example on the minds and
hearts of many. At last, when the
summons came, he approached the
end, not with fear and trembling, but
like on “who wraps the drapery of his
couch about him and lies down to
pleasant dreams.” The funeral ser
vice was conducted by Rev. Mr. Hunt,
who jn a most touching manner allud
ed to the many virtues and Christian
graces of character of the aged veteran,
to whom he, the younger man, had
stood in the relation of [pastor. After
the services the body was commmitted
to its native earth iq the Summerville
cemetery,

The Greenville (Tenn) Democrat

it: the lawyers lie for it, and wise folks
sigh for it. Buy it and try it.” That
ought to prove a fetching appeal.
