VOCAL.
Professor Allen, vocal music teacher,
had a very interesting examination at
o d Lasea at the close of his school. The
singing was remarkably fine, especially
the singing of Mrs. Sue Gardner, of ST.
Louis, formerly Miss Thompson, of
Chapel Hill, Marshall county, and the
beautiful and accomplished Miss Mollie
Bills, also of Marshall whose delightful
singing proved them to be the very queens |
of song
Elder E. G, Sewell, assisted by Profess |
sOr Scoby, of Murfreesboro, has held a |
very successful meeting at the old Lasea |
Christian Church. There we're eighteen |
additions to the church. Elder Sewell |
preached a series OF eight sermons while |
conducting the meeting. His sermon on |
the fourth Sunday in August, from the |
the text beginning at the 10th verse, 9th |
chapter of Hebrews, was q very able and /
interesting discourse. The Christian |
church at Lasea is in a very fourishing /
condition, and her members by their up
right and Christian walk and earnest pi- |
ETY. is a shining mark that should cause /
other denominations to piously strive TO
emulate or SurpaSS.

use now of Flat Checkers getting too dry
to tell the truth with such IN abundance
Of whisky so convenient and close.
"HE LOST HIS PILLOW.
So said J., who had been down to Jack
sons where he imbibed the corn juice so
freely, and turned his little finger over his
thumb so often, that he could hardly
have told whether the world was round or
square. He finally started home after
taking on about eighteen hundred and a
sack of salt On his way home, feeling
the need ofrepose, he rode to one side of
the road, and seeing a rock pile which re-
minded him in the moonlight of feath-
err bed, he made an excellent jump from
his horse and lit on his back in the cen
ire of the pile, where he took a refreshing
nap. Some time in the night one of his
pious neighbors passing by heard him
cussiDg very much. On inquiring what
was the matter, be said he had lost his
pillow, and he didn't believe that there
was pound of feathers in his bed
