Pleasant Valley.

A protracted meeting is being
held at this place by the z. c., as
sisted by Rev. r. J. Craig. We had
the pleasure of attending services
on Sunday at IL O'clock. The fun
eral of Bro. Vick's infant child was
not preached, as was announced, on
account of sickness in the family.
Rev. L. j. Duncan preached a very
urgent sermon, impressing upon his
hearers the importance of the saliva
ton of their souls. He is an excel
lent minister, and we appreciate
him, as he deserves to be appre
ciated. At night the pulpit was
filed by Rev. r. j. Craig, who de
livered a discourse the remembrance
of which many of us will carry to
our graves. 1t, is bound to turn
some from the ways of sin. dis
covered that it affected many, but it
requires protracted labor to arouse
this people to q full sense of duty.
After the sermon, Bro. Duncan ex-
horted, plainly showing the debt of
gratitude we owe to Christ, He hav-
ing died that we might live. Twas
heart-rending appeal. Still they
refused to come forward as peni-
tents to the altar; but when they
were called upon to kneel at their
seats if they wished TO be remem-
bered at the throne of mercy, many
heads bowed that had been so pain
fully erect before as if in defiance
to both God and his messengers.
By this we know they do feel an IN
terest for their souls salvation. Let
us work on, for 1eel that great
will be the reward.
You say know nothing of the
Sunday-school. I'll show you. We
organized in March with about sew
enty pupils. About one hundred
and forty on roll now. Average at
tendance more than one hundred.
OF the eleven teachers only two
have been absent. Will that do?
Col. w. p. Wllkerson has been i'll
for about Is days with a severe car
buncle on the back of his neck. His
friends were uneasy about him, but
we now believe him to be entirely
out of danger.
Some of our people question the
propriety of having suppers, con
certs, DC, to raise money for church
purposes. If the ladies could do
the work our church would soon be
made neat and comfortable. Bro.
Dune can and some other men re
paired and whitewashed part of the
fence around the church and left.
Next day Misses Minnie Craig and
Blanche Scales came and finished
whitewashing the larger part of this
fence. But for these young ladies
part of our fence would now be
black.
Misses Della and MollIe Aber-
nathy have been in our valley visit
ing relatives. We like Pulaski
girls if they are rogues, which we
believe them to be, for some of our
young men have found their hearts
missing and say they have been car
ried to Pulaski, and, young ladies,
if you did not take them there we
can't tell who did.
Mr.. Robert Mcknight of Maury
county was down last week to see
his brothers. | wonder if bis broth
ers were as glad to see him as some
one else was. He is very popular
here, especially among the young
ladies. If you were to ask a GER
tain one of them what she thought
of him, the only answer you would
get would be a blush, but they tell
oceans in some instances. Well, we
hope he will be back again soon,
for we all would be glad to see him
oftener.
Our people do not say much
about the election, but intend to
support men who are capable, hon
est and conscientious.
Well, have said enough. If l
keep talking you will find me out.
Is it possible you can't guess? No;
l see you havn't an idea, so / will
tell you: am simply JEssAMlNE.
