six months since in search of loca
ton beneficial to his pulmonary
troubles, is located at Eagle Pass
Texas, just on the Mexico line, and

Master Eddie Tate entertained
his young friends at his home Satur-

skilled beyond her years in the in
struction and management of chill

Old Lynnville is our Brooklyn
for churches and preaching. There
are five churches in active use there,
two black and three white. Sun
day there were services at all the
white churches at one and the same
time by able ministers-rather a
strain on most communities to
furnish three congregations in so
oo1I n fOmD I ~, loe;ra1 70 cor
that there will be two days meet
ing and sacramental service at the
Cumberland church the End Sunday
in March. Rev. Mr.. King will have
assistance.
"A pa ckage of flowers of the
Shrub Banana was received Satur-
day from ouryoung friend of refined
taste, Lee Gordon, from his semi
tropical home in Thomasville, Ga.
The fragrance was so potent that it
permeated the whole post Office like
bed of June roses. Lee always was
a boy of fine taste, loving only the
sweetest flowers and the prettiest
girls, and he knows who can appre-
ciate such things. I divided the
flowers with the "Lynnville court
ing club" who will use them where
they will do the most good. Lee
has a vote Of thanks from the club.
Esq. Montgomery was not so
well the past week.
The pike from Cornersville is
again agitated and for the life of
me l can't see what our people mean
that they do not take hold of it and
go to work. There are dozens of
men who have offered exceedingly
liberal propositions and all in the
wide world that it needed was for
some men with a character for bust
ness to head the movement and it
can be put through. 1 have con
tended all the time that Lynnville
men had push and grit and back
bone. Now, gentlemen, go in, or 1
will say 1 have been badly deceived
and that you are set of old gran
MES.
