MI. PLEASANT ITEMS.

August, the dreaded month, has passed
away, but shook the sultriness from crisped
name into the solitary lap of September.
The weather is unusually warm, and the
air feels like the simeon that sweeps from
Sahara desert plain, which walls like
the heartfelt sigh that comes from a soul
oppressed with human turmoil and tribu-
lation, and the sordid sob floats Ger the
wild ocean of futile expectations and uu-
suspecting love.
Our much esteemed and highly cultiva-
ted friend, Webb Ridley, Jr., started FOL
Lexington, Ky, last Monday morning,
where he expects to finish his classical
and gain a military education. He is a
youth of brilliant mind and a good stu
dent, and has by his social qualifications
and winsome manners, won a universal
friendship among his former schoolmates
He leaves great number Of friends who
wish him great success.
Miss Alice Hall who came in our
midst some years since, a mere girl TO at
tend school under the kind supervision Of
Prof Hamilton left for Franklin last
week to complete her education. She is
now quite grown, and is very beautiful,
with flashing black eyes. We regret very
much that our Sabbath-schcol must lose
so constant and important member.
Enterprise can boast OF two churches

Reunion of 3rd Regiment

To the Editor of the Herald and Mail:
Some weeks since / noticed q cOmmu'
nicatiOn from the Pulaski Citizen pro-
posing n Ieuuion of the Sd Tennessee
Regiment in the late so called rebellion
have waited in vain for some re-
Spouse from this county where a larger
proportion of the Regiment resides. II
occurred to me, at once, that Columbia
was the most suitable place for the pros
near the central part of the section OF
country, from which this Regiment was
raised, and easiest of access, to all the
Regiment.
What say you soldiers of the 3rd?
hope some one will suggest some defi~
mite plan for the reunion; let us have it
by all means. Would not our coming
Fair be an appropriate time?
