The Knox County Sunday-Schoo1 Con-
yention.

yention.
To the Sunday-Scb002s Of K1a0r county:
Owing to a great deal of sickness now
prevailing in the community of Powel's
Station, we have been obliged to change the
place and time of holding the county Sun
day-school convention to Fountain Head on
Friday and Saturday, the Goth and 21st of
May, 1881.
We regard this as quite fortunate, as we
have often thought that our county conven-
tons should be held after the East Tennes-
see conventions 50 that they might enjoy
the advantage of report from it by our
attending delegates.
Fountain Head, situated five miles north
of our city limits, has long been celebrated
for its large grove and mammoth spring.
The drive on the Jacksboro turnpike is most
attractive at this season.
The people of Grassy Valley have kindly
consented to entertain the convention. Those
who are acquainted with these people know
what to expect in the way of entertainment
We are happy to say that unusual interest
has been manifested everywhere throughout
the county in regard to this convention.
This gives evidence of growing interest
and enthusiasm in the work. Already
large number of Sunday schools have APP
pointed delegates. We desire full delega-
ton from the city and country, and desig-
nate the first Sunday in May, at which time
each school is requested to appoint at least
three delegates.
The music houses have agreed to furnish
fine organs and performers for the occasion.
Our convention book Gospel Echoes"
will be used. Further announcement of
| ushers, organists, choirists and committees
| will be made
A rare programme is being prepared, with
the prospect of a fine list of speakers. As
our time for preparation has been extended,
we call upon the good people Of our coun-
ty who have at heart the cause of the re-
ligious training of our youth, to rally that
this convention may be blessing to our
entire people, W. r. MURPHY,
| Vice-President
