scene occurred at funeral in Henrietta,

the funeral and the place of burial. Graves
were dug at Bloomfield and at Mt. Hope,

olivet.

Olivet Church is in Giles county
Tennessee. Everybody knows, or
ought to know, where Giles county,
Tennessee, is. 1t is in the very
heart of one of the finest regions OF
country on the globe. 1t is a land
of big beeches and oaks, of big
corn-e and cotton bales. And if
the people we met at Olivet Church
on Sunday are fair samples of the
population, there is no lack of large
souled Christians Whereabouts. The
Olivet Church and parsonage pre-
sent a very attractive picture. The
church is commodious, cheerful
looking inside and out; the parson
age is a cozy white cottage nestlin G
close TO the edge of the noble for
est that covers the slope, with a
garden in front, with the broad,
rich lands in front, and lofty
wooded range bounding the horI-
zon beyond. Brother Turner, the
pastor, with such surroundings,
ought to be not only good preach
er, but also a poet, at least in feel
ing. The Sunday was bright and
fair. The Tennessee hills seemed
to glow under the smile of God.
The church filed up with hearers.
The singing was with the spirit and
understanding. The organist had a
soul as we'll as the ability to read
music. How good, lively, religious
singing helps the preacher! The
presence of Rev. Brother NJ eKenzl
of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, enhanced TIE interest OF
the service. IL was a hallowed
hour The evening service was also
largely attended, many thinking
nothing Of riding three or four
miles by starlight TO worship God,
showing a different spirit from that
of many city Christians, who can
lot risk the night-air by walking
three blocks to Church. There is
zeal and enterprise at Oiivet. The
mem bershIp of the Church has IN
creased to lao, the Church property
is in good keeping, and the work
ing machinery in vigorous opera
ton. The Jealous pastor has the
intelligent and hearty cooperation
OF d. L. Reynolds, and other live
laymen and devout women, who
love their Saviour and his cause
This leads them to plan and work
tor the Church. There is life at
Olivet, and a promise of healthy
progress. The baptism of William

Waking Up.

possesses more advantages.

matical advantages, her unusual

markets and fac timber, and law
abiding, hospitable people, to day
extends the hand OF greeting to
men Of energy of large or small
means, realizing that her future
prosperity lies III obtaining from
the North those to TIL her lands
and utilize her productions at home.
Nor does she ask In vain, for
daily we are informed that people
are going. and men from cur vicini-
ty are on their way To examine with
a view to settlement. Quite large
number have gone from New Jer
sey to Pulaski in Giles county, and
are highly pleased, and are farming
on the share plan, viz: The own
ers furnishing land, teams, tools,
houses, &c, and giving the tenants
one half of all they raise. We are
informed by good authority that
large numbers can thus be provided
for, that the country is as healthtui
as here, and we advise those desir-
