On the Sth of this month this large and
intelligent body of Christians held their an
nual meeting at Pincy Grove church near
Siler's store. Rev. John Murdaugh and
Rev. Levin Savage, Rev. c. c. Mcdaniel,
and Rev. w. a. Henry, were among the &C
tive ministers present. The meeting con-
tinued some nine days, and great good WAS
done. Last Sabbath twenty-one of the con-
verts were baptised and received into the
church. This was one of the most success
full meetings ever held in that portion OF tine
county. The Baptist church in that neigh
borhood cannot otherwise than he strong
when such active Christian ministers as
Messrs. Murdaugh, Savage, Mcdaniel and
Henry are the moving spin It's in the work.
They are among our wortl lest and best citi-
zens. We deeply regret to announce that
while Rev. Mr.. Murdaugh was attending
this meeting he was suddenly called to the
death-bcd of his son John Murdaugh who
was lying Ill at the home of his uncle sgd
ney Knott He died soon after his father
arrived We sympathize with his family
in their deep afIliction.

New Cotton.

MIDDLEBrRG Tenn Sept. 18th 1877
MEssERs EDITORS The first bale of
IIardeman county cotton was purchased
here to-day, raised by that enterprising plan
ter, w. w CasselbeFry and consigned to
lIessers Guy, Mcclellan and Co Memphis
Tenn. He tells us the lint is good and yield
very fine, about one pound of lint to three
OF seed cotton. Our crop prospects are very
fiattering, and but for an unusually carly
frost we will doubtless realize a fine yield.
Our people have adopted a policy that viii
ultimately lead to prosperity and plenty,
they are now producing every thing for
home Use, or as much so rs possible. There
Is no necessity for us to want, we have Il
soil that Is productive of almost every thing
we need. Nay We grasp the prize within
our reach. Our people congratulate YOU on
the increased worth and popularity of the
BULLETIN. Yours truly

Rebecca Polk. col. Decd.

This worthy and venerable colorcd wo-
man died last Wednesday night on the
premises of Mr.. T. F. Brooks, ut the adj
vanced age Of seventy-sevcn years. She for
merly belonged to the Calvin Jones estate,
and afterwards was owned by Mrs. Octavia
Polk In late years she was cared for by that
kind-hearted and excellent lady, Mrs. Occie
Brooks. The deceased was of that class of
faithful family servents who were cherished
and valued in every Southern household.
The devotion Of such old servents to the
children and grandchildren Of their old
masters was both beautiful and tender. We
cherish the memory of many such charac-
tiers They are rapidly passing away and
with them disappears time-honored and
distinguishing feature of domestic life in
the South The deceased led a consistent
Christian life, and peacefully died in the
full hope Of a blissful Immortality. No
monument will mark her sleeping dust but
her name viii long linger upon the lips OF
those who valued her services and appre-
ciatcd her worth.

By MIRIAM HALL.
The morning sky was very bright,
And frosty was the air,
When down from out 4 hollow tree
There came a loving pair,
Twas Mr.. Squirrel and his wife,
His Bunny bright and gay;
And though they were not very young,
They still were full Of play.
"Now, Bunny, dear, know the place
We're hickory nuts are found"
Said Mr.. Squirrel, "and wen find
4 plenty on the ground"
$50 follow me with perfect trust,
And mcrriIy we'H 20,
And gather in = nice supply
For winter rains and snow
''For well you know my motto, dear,
To work rs well as play
And if We would not want tomorrow,
We must provide to-day"
"You are so very wise, my dear"
His loving spouse replied,
THAT if I follow you, know
No i'll viii me bctidc."
''Thcn all our little ones are safe
Within cosy home,
Not one I know, viii disobey
And leave the nest to roam"
So down the glen this honest pair
Did haste with eager feet,
They passed right by the farmers corn,
One grain they would not eat.
Into the forest straight they went,
And to the hickory tree;
And such heap they gathered there,
1t was 4 sight to see-
Then back and forth they FASTENED them
These bright, autumnal days,
Till all their sture-house well they filled,
Much to their honest praise.
And when the winters snow was come,
No anxious pains had they;
Enough they had, and to the poor
Some nuts to give away
So learn this lesson, children dear,
From Bunny's husband gay,
That '.if we would not want Tomorrow,
We must provide to-day"
