Praise encourages people to keep going. Praise a person’s effort, progress, and accom-
rying a heavy weight. Yes, the original context deals with moral issues, but may be applied in the context of a personal weight such as sorrow, (cf. Luke 22:45; Hebrews 11:25). If Jesus a man was willing to accept help, support from others then we should also.Support groups are a great example of how to fulfill that principle, though not the only one. Join us this month.

The area in and around Finger was settled in the early to mid1820's. Originally named McIntyre's Crossing, after Robert Thompson McIntyre, who was an early political leader and businessman, it was not named Finger until 1895. Between its settlement and 1895, the area progressed and both education and business were important to the area's inhabitants. During the American Civil War, the area pro vided many soldiers to the Union cause and the area largely Unionist and Republican in its politics.
lation, a new name was needed to satisfy federal postal authori ties. Originally, the town was to be named Cash. However, that idea was dropped and, according to the late historian Horry Hodges, the Rev. J.J. Franklin, a resident of nearby McNairy Station, attended the meeting convened to give the town a name. According to Hodg es, tempers flared and Franklin de risively and jokingly suggested the name Finger after witnessing sev eral locals engaged in Finger point ing. Other sources suggest the city was named for an early resident, Andrew Jackson Finger (1815–1888). However, this is unlikely as this man was not prominent and re sided in the area only a short peri od. Hodges' account is given more credibility because he was an ac tive political and educational figure in 1895, the year of the events, as well as a resident of Finger. His is the only contemporary account. From 1895 until the onset of the Great Depression in 1929-1930, the town continued to grow. At one point, it supported no less than 8 stores, 2 physicians, a funeral par lor, a hotel, 2 banks, a post office, an elementary and high school, cotton gin and numerous other smaller businesses. Its location on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad was one of the reasons for its success ful
