THE MONT EAGLE SUNDAY
SCHOOL ASSEMBLY.

This enterprise is of a purely benev-
olent and and christian character. Its
design is to build up in the South
vast educational, religious and recrea-
tive resort, free from the demoralizing
influences which usually attend sum-
mer resorts. The design is to make
it for the South what the far famed
Chatauqua is to the North, and it is to
be hoped that the liberality of our peo-
pie will enable the committee having
the work in charge to make it an honor
to the South. In order to secure the
location for Tennessee, Prof. Moffat,
who represented Mont Eagle at the
meeting of the committee on location
at Atlanta, Ca, in addition to the lib.
eral offer of the Tennessee Coal, Iron
and Railroad Company, and the Nash
vile, Chattanooga and St. Louis Rail-
road Co., and in addition to the offer
Of a donation of the land required,
found it necessary in order to compete
with other States to further pledge
himself to raise five thousand dollars.
He did this with the utmost confidence
that the christian people OF Tennessee
would heartily endorse his action and
would come up promptly and literally
with their donations to enable him tC
redeem his pledge. At meeting held
in the First Presbyterian Church, in
Nashville, shortly after the location
was given to Tennessee, the following
action was had: Moved by William
Lellyett, Esq, seconded by Rev. DR.
Hoyt, and resolved, THAT we ap
prove of Prof. Moffat's action in assn
ring S5.OOO for the purpose OF lTprov
ing the Sunday School Assembly

CURED"
Now while we earnestly hope tina
Tennessee may raise a much large
sum, it is, we think, the first duty o
all who appreciate the effort made t
secure the location for our State, t
come up promptly with their donations
1t is very desirable that as much a
possible be raised and sent in befor
the 18th of February.
All amounts donated for the pul
pose of redeeming the pledge made b
Prof. Moffat should be sent to Geo. M
King, Mont Eagle, Tenn, who wi
forward the same to the Treasurer {

takes, as this fund must be kept sepi

notice they justly deserve would take
too much space.
Not the least impressive part of the
exercises was the usual announcement
at noon that skinner was spread for
all" "And they did all eat and were
filed" leaving an abundant supply for
supper. After supper in the evening
the audience assembled and were cor
daily invited to witness the rhetorical
exercises, which were opened by the
reading of an essay of welcome by
Miss Dovie Webb. Then followed a
number of declarations, recitations
and essays by the young ladies and
young gentlemen and boys and girls
that reflected the greatest credit on
both teacher and pupils. In fact, it
was rare literary feast which, to be
enjoyed and appreciated must be heard.
After the exercises were over Mr..
Elijah Brown was called upon to ad-
dress the audience, which he did in a
very appropriate speech of ten or fif.
teen minutes. Mr.. S. A. Green also
addressed the audience. Both gentle
men paid we'll deserved compliments to
