FROm ASHLAND CITY.

the evening of a most enjoyable oc-
casiOn the people of the "vicinage,"
with a mind conscious of rectitude,
and buoyant with hope, assembled
at the time-hOnOred, though unas-
Stunning tabernacle of Forest Hill
Church until there was no room for
more. MatrOns and maids, fathers
and sons, the man of thlee-score and
ten and the infant in its mothers
arms, all seemed to guess, as if by
intuition, that something was in
store for them-sOmething, they
knew not what. All were as merry
a. mot marriage belD but as band
OF country children joined by peace
and harmony into a wreath of pre-
ciOus jewels, such as all must become
before they can enter the kingdom
of Him whose birthday was then
and there celebrated.
At given signal profound silence
reigned, when Rev. W. a. Leath,
pastor of the Methodist Church at
Ashland City, opened the entertain
ment, al the children called it, with
an appropriate prayer. After few
remarks by Mr.. l.. j. Lowe as to
the necessity of the birth, death and
resurrection of our Savior, the fol-
lowing pieces were produced" by
the Sunday School scholars:

This last Grafton closed the eXer-
cises in this department. Never,
perhaps, did an audience show
greater interest or manifest more
real pleasure. Many of the pieces
We're absolutely without a fault. No
greater eulogy could be passed than
to say that these little children held
full house spell-bound for about
TWO hours and half.
Upon drawing the curtains taste
fully arranged Christmas tree APP
peared, through the branches OF
which was seen Santa Claus in full
uniform. Our newly-appOinted c.
~ NJ, J. ]. Lee, is the best old Chris
of the season. The success Of this
part of the entertainment was rem
dered certain when the following
