y, y
finances, have inclined me to a plug
and a boxtoe; but the ''feast of rea-
son and flow of SOUP afforded at
Martin College more than paid me
for all the pains inflicted upon me
as the penalty of my pride. Feel
ing my need 0: education every day,
/ have long since become q zealot
for its diffusion, and when l am ia
vored with such evidences Of its
progress in our midst as l have re
Gently beheld there, my heart re-
jOices. Believe me when l say the
whole affair almost produced THAT
swelling in the heart so often felt
in by-gone days. l confess to an
increased intensity Of shat swell
ing" when those gIr.s sat at the
piano electrifying me with music
well nigh as sweet as ever fell from
Mozart's fingers, and L appeal to the
longest limb Of the law in Pulaski
to say if it did not take head
quarters right in his soul and thrill
him from center to circumference.
But l have not begun this letter
to compliment or congratulate eX-
cept to congratulate myself on being
favored with such a rare entertain
ment, DR.. Rivers, Prof. Casey,
Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Menefee, Miss
Lizzie Alternately and Prof. Werren
received their just compliments in
the proficiency made in their re
spective departments. And 1 re-
joice to know that such has been
the conduct of the school that ar
engagements have been made with
the Trustees for its continuance I'M
der the present faculty.
But | am at home again and have
been blessed with the company of
my young friend and brother, Rev.
w. @. Dillon, since my return. OF
course he came out to enjoy rural
felicity on the glebe,- out from a
mis- take he made in calling my name
one day l am inclined to believe
that he will be back again on other
business soon. We are not as scarce
of local news as might be supposed.
Item: We have in this vicinity a
Cooking Club" of which Mrs.
Dora Reynolds Robinson is the
President. The following is list
of mem bers: Misses Emma and Lula
Bramlett, Misses Douglas and May
Buford, Miss Minnie Craig, Miss
Annie Buford, Miss Belle Brandon,
Misses Dickerson, Misses Bell, and
Mrs. Sarah Reynolds. Now | have
been societied, more or less, all my
life, but 1 confess to greater weak
ness for this society than any that
has been organized in this commu
nifty since my arrival. In company
with my good Brother Dillon [ at
tended a meeting of the club at the
residence of Mrs. Giles Reynolds
last Tuesday evening. And though
for hygienic reasons 1 was denied
the privilege of entering expert
mentally into the merits of the case,
/ refer You to the pastor of the G.
p. Church, whose chief joy seemed
to be to edo the subject Justice" |
have been thought by some to be Of
a keenly sensitive nature, but it
seems to me that l could stand more
clubbing from now until Conference
than | ever did in all my life.
81 have something sweet to tell
you" Olivet pulpit, altar place,
and aisles are beautifully carpeted,
and a-ne W golden tongued organ has
been uncased, and with Mrs. Dora
Shadden at the keys it sends forth
a volume of delightful sounds.
Our Sunday are increas-
ing both in numbers and proficiency
every Sunday. Two hundred and
thirty answered to roll call last Sun
day. Our 18th quarterly meeting
will be held at Olivet embracing the
Sd Sunday in July, and not the I'd,
as Brother Rarbee first published
DR.. DuBose will preach at Olivet I'd
Sunday in July.
Here is paragraph for one far
away, who, though ! have not seen,
yet l love: There is a quiet over
this your native heath. Agricul
tural pursuits are vigorously car
ried forward. Wheat crops rather
light, but quality good: Corn crops
beautiful. Cotton luXuriant, but
the stand not very good. The in
terest of the community in matters
of religion Is increasing. A united
and prayerful effort is being made
for the conversion of souls. You
are deeply interested in this. Loved
ones for whom you pray daily are
also subjects of earnest prayer here.
Your family is deeply interested in
the Sunday-school work, and they
are blessing it with holy influence.
Heaven bless you in your far off
homel
Supt. I. o. Alternately has been
quite unwell for a few days, but we
hope to see him at his post next
Sunday. 7. j. DUNCAN.
