Report of Rev. Daniel watkins
Encouraging Prospects.
To the Editors of the Union and American: I
I desire through your columns to tender
my thanks especially to the friends who
have, during the past twelve months, aided
me in my efforts to teach the colored citi-
Gems in the counties Of DAVIDSON, William
son, Rutherford, Wilson and Summer. /
have found by experience that some who
render assistance are averse TO the fact be-
ing made known, preferring, as they say,
'tnot to let the left hand know what the
right does" while others think of another
lesson which teaches us to s9et our light
go shine before men that they, seeing our
good works, may be constrained to
glorify our Father who is in heaven"
are not unwilling to recommend what they
are satisfied is calculated to improve any
of our citizens. wish to say to them and
others, that am still doing what I can for
the moral, intellectual and Christian ele-
walton of my people, land feel encouraged
to labor on, inasmuch as have thus far
been aided, not only by friends out of the
State, but by friends here at home. The

names but their money: ia, -,

None gave less than one dollar, none
more than five; so no one missed much
what he gave and it enabled me to impart
much valuable instruction to those who
are in the condition where proper instruc
ton is most needed. 1 have up to THU
time, since the coming in of the new year
visited Lebanon and delivered two ad
dresses, which 1 think did some good.
visited Franklin and preached twice to at
tentive and orderly audiences. l also Wis
tied Murfreesboro and addressed very in
teresting Sunday School in the A. NJ. E
Church. preached three times to tn
people in the same house, and am satisfies
that a more respectful and orderly people
are not to be found any where in our coun
try.

go to williamson county tomorrow
