seventysive in attendance, and all
seemed to enjoy the occasion very
much. Watermelons were ALBUMS
dant, and all other good things to
eat.
Croquet, swings and other games
afforded amusement for many, and
all seemed to pass the day quite
pleasantly. IF you had seen our
Circuit Clerk, yOmth of about
seventy>fve summers, swinging,
and heard the smiles Of the editor,
of the Journal, you would have
thought the spirit of enjoyment
was turned loose.
The Judge will long be remem>
bered for his kindness, and for his

Tue day will long be an oasis ia the
memory of many who were present.
The schools in Loudon are in fine
order and they make things appear
rather lively. The public school is
very largely attended. Tie Prin-
cipal is the Superintendent of the
County. He is absent now visiting
the schools in the county and his
place is filled by Rev. Erwin Tabor.
The school at the college is doing
well. 1t is not as large as its friends
would like to see it, as some Of its
old patrons, on account Of the s'hard
times" are patronizing the free
school. tt is in charge Of Prof.
Ramsay. who has had about twenty
years experience in teaching. He
seems to be the right man in the
right place. His discipline is very
fine. The school is in good work
ing order and the students studying
well. The friends of the school in

ize this school and help to build up
a frst-class institution. It would
cost them less than paying 50 much

There is q union campsmeeting
held every year in this county. II
is conducted on the plan Of the
National campmeetings-that is, no
UNCONVENTIONAL doctrines are taught,
only Christ. All ministers are in
yited to take part in the meeting.
1t is going on now. Rev. Mr.. FL,
more, of New York, preached Sun
day. The singing Was conducted
by the leader, organist and some Of
the members of the choir that did
SUCH fine singing at Maryville
during the East Tennessee Sunday
School Convention. Those who
heard the singing there will know
it was good. Knoxville ought to
send some of her talent down there
to preach. They will be d well
treated if they go, for the people
out there understand hospitality.
There is a camp for ministers, and
their travelling expenses are paid.
There were about FIVE thousand peo-
| pie in attendance Sunday, and 1t is
thought there will be many more
next Sunday.
Loudon is developing more liter
airy taste than she used to possess.
There is some talk Of organizing a
Debating Society and a Reading
Club among the literary inclined
ones. If such were done, no doubt,
it would accomplish good. The
people here are are not as social as
they ought to be, and they need
some kind of influences to bring
them together. J.. "
