Brick Church.

"A funeral sermon was delivered
last Sunday in memory Of Mrs. E.
w. Holley, by Rev. A. r. Holderby.
We are again blessed with real
" beautiful weather, and it seems
that the melancholy days are almost
here. King cotton has hegun to
open and business is Frightening
up and everything will be on boom
in very short time, though we
cannot see why such is the case, for
all good and wise farmers know that
the production of cotton is impover-
ishing their alluvial and productive
lands.
Our vicinity is once more emil
vened by the appearance OF the
charming and fascinating Miss
Ella Williamson of near De Ray,
who came up last Friday. Hope
her stay will be pleasant one, Tor
she is a favorite of this community.
Mr.. w. a. Rothrock and family
were visiting relatives near or at
Petersburg last seek, but have re-
turned.
Mrs. Gordon of Florida, but
visiting friends and relatives at
LynnvIlle, was in this neighborhood
recently giving instructions in
drawing. She had fine class and
those who have taken express them
selves very well satisfied. 1t does
not take very long to become very
skillful, only one or two lessons be
ing necessary To complete and thor
oughly understand the art.
We are very sorry to have to
pen the sad information that Miss
Fannie Bugg has returned to her
home at Lynnville. If her stay was
not a pleasant one, we can vouch
that it was a very agreeable one
to us.
The protracted meeting at
Blooming Grove still continues, and
the young people still continue to
go. The following went out there
last Saturday: Misses Johnnie
Lee, Made Rutledge, Kate Ander-
son and Alice Simmons, and Messrs.
G. w. Ingram and Robert Ander-
SOL. as escorts.
Miss Minnie Ralston, one of
the fair ones, was visiting in the
Pisgah neighborhood last Saturday
and Sunday.
Miss Ballentine was visiting
Miss Mamie Blackburn recently.
The manse is completed, but
money has been needed very badly
nearly the whole time, and the mite
society has made some great efforts
to pay for the work as it was done,
and with the aid of the good and
generous people who have been ever
ready to come to their assistance,
have succeeded to a great extent,
but as yet they have not obtained
funds enough to defray all the ex-
penses. And they again, after
thanking the generous people of
this and other communities for their
past favors and kindness, appeal to
this good people and all who are in
sympathy with them in this strug-
gle, to come out to the concert,
which viii be given at the Brick
Church Academy next Friday
night, Sep. 7. They will be greatly
delighted TO see q fine attendance
and they promise everybody a rare
treat. Come everybody.
Mrs. Hardy has been quite sick
with phthysic, but is now much
better
Miss Sallie Lane has recovered
and was able to be out at church
last Sunday.
&c. NJ. Rothrock and wife spent
a few days in this vicinity last week.
They are so pleasant and agreeable
and such auxiliaries in society that
we will always be glad to have them
visit us.
Fred Stock and wife of Law
renceburg were visiting relatives in
this neighborhood last week
Columbus Hartsell and wife of
Diana were visiting the family of
William B. Hartsell Sunday.
We regret that Thomas Clark
will leave us and 90 to keep the new
toll-gate. We dislike to give up
such good citizens, though we hope
he will do well in his new home.
