Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1878-04-20
Hose Hill.

Mr.. EDITOR Rose Hill is inn
proving. Spring, the much talked
of, eulogized, poetized, and all the
other ICES combined /; yet notwith-
standing all this coming regularly
every year, has had a most char
ming effect on everything around
us. Miss Lula Moss is visiting r..
III. this week. We are glad to know
that Miss Lima Edwards, who has
been quite i'll, is recovering hope
she will soon entirely regain her
health. Miss Happie Fletcher, to
the regret of all, left us last week
for her home near Oak Grove. We
miss her charming presence and
hope it will not be long ere she
comes again.
| was in La Fayette, the capital of
Flat Lick, last week. 1t is nota-
bic fact while 'sThe great world
springs forever down the singing
groove of change, La F. don't in
tend to stand and gaze like Joshua's
moon in Ajalon. Foot-racing is
not the only late sensation. The
young gentlemen play base ball
also. 1t is the intention of Mr.. Joe
Bayneham to erect livery stable
very soon. There is another i'm
provement that has been more or
less essential to the happiness of
women since mother Eve bad to
make her first apron of fig leaves, a
dress making and millinary estab-
lishment. The very latest improve
ment, and one that will best please
the young ladies of La F., is that the
gallant Mr.. Len BIanton will be-
come citizen of that place on Mon
day next. By the way, in what
respect will Mr.. Blanton be like
Napoleon Bonaparte? Answer;
The will be a creator of generals 20
General Admiration among the
ladies; and General CONSERVATION
and General Fear among thegentle-
men, least he supersede them in the
good graces of the young ladies.
! We went to the District Confer.
ence, at Roaring Springs, on Satur.
day night. Ascribable to the fact
that we had the "merriest crowd
that's out" the distance seemed
very short. The house was densely
crowded. Rev. B. A. Cundif
preached; and we saw Bishop Kan
navaugh. The Bishop held fortI
at La F. last night, and we under
stand the meeting will be protract
ed. On last Sunday we heard, 70
the first time, Ed. Mobely, of La
F., preach. His text was L, Tim.
Sd Chapt. 10th verse-"And with
out controversy great is the mys
terry Of Goodness" We immea
surably regretted before the neces
sity-impassible roads-that haC
kept us from church during tn
past winter; but when W,
heard the sympathetic, sou
stirring words of that sermon, utter
ed so eloquently, our regret was, i
possible, augmented that we haC
heard all his sermons. 1t is
spiritual treat to listen to Bro
Mobely. Bro. Jas. Hester, of l.;
F., and Bro. V. NJ. Metcalf, o
Hopkinsville, have promised t,
come out and preach to the citizen
of Rose Hill and surrounding
country, and we hope they viii
each make an early appointment
But must bring this epistle to ;
close as the 1--WE sma hours" com
on apace, and the battling element
without draw my thoughts to othe
wanderings. ooh! night, ant
storm, and darkness, we are won
derous strong, yet lovely in you
: strength"
, 'fNIost glorious night!
Thou vast not sent for slumber.
Let me be a sharer in thy fierce and far de
light
f ! A portion of the tempest and of thee
How the lit lake shines, phosphOric sea,
| And the big rain comes dancing on tn
earth!
= Ard now again it's black, and now the gle
, Ofthe loud hills shakes with its mountai
mirth,
As if they did rejoice DER young earth
quake's birth"
