MT. PLEASANT ITEMS.

The gentle and beautiful brunette, Miss
Camilla Bond, whose calm, quiet loneliness
has always made her a great faVOrite, and
who has been spending some time with her
friends near Lebanon, returned to her home
in this place last week. She was accOmpa-
MED by Miss Anna l.. Hearn, of Wilson
county, blonde, tall and stately, with an
eye whose sapphire light will blaze and
burn in the hearts OF her many adOrers long
after other forms have bowed alike, favored
and unfavored, before her. She has sister
visiting here also, Miss w. H., who is a
blonde, with dark blue eyes, complexion
brilliant. She has a beautiful suit of light
brown hair, while her perfect head rests up
on her rounded neck, with the swanlike
ease and grace of q sculptOr's dream. Add
to this full, perfect, and yea petite figure,
and you have true picture of the Lebal Oh
Rose.
Miss Kittie Adams, who is not only ex-
tremely fascinating, but very highly &C
mplished, has resigned her position in
Prot HamiitOn'S school, and gone to Selma,
Ala, to live. She has left behind her many
prom Using pupils, who will doubtless one
day crown her with the laurelS of their
fame. Her place will be filled by the high
iy gifted musical artist, Miss Matte Hern-
don, who not only performs with artistic
skill, but sings divihely,
on behalf of our own community, we wish
to thank Mis- Matte Herndon for her la r.
ciht@- -. l,llt she gave as leader of the Choir
| during the recent glorious revival at the
| Methodist church in this ElGce. 1er mag
! nihcent voice Niil uoC soon be forgotten.

| deafening. One house and a good MANY

cure could desire. 1t was such dinner as
the people Ofthat neighbOrhood are famous
for getting up.
