NOTES AND COMMENTS.

A large congregation attended
thesnniversary ollhe Sunday School
at Christ Church ON Sunday even
ing last Proceedings opened With
the singing of a hymn, followed by
a short prayer by the Rev. J. H.
Blackjack. Mr.. Tucker, the Superin-
tendent, gave an interesting address
describingthe work ofthe schoolsince
its commencement four years ago.
The Treasurers report shows q ba-
lance of $22sSc. in hand, but the
larger part of this will be required
in purchasing books, papers, etc. at
the beginning of next year. The
Rev. j. H. Blackjack was then re-
quasted to address kthose present,
and Immediately attracted the at
tention of the children by stating
that lie was going to talk to them,
and not to the older folks. Com
pairing their character to a log
house, which he proceeded to build
for them, lie taught them many use
full lessons, which, from the way they
answered his questions at the end,
they do not seem likely to soon for
get. A collection amounting to
$S.SScts. was taken up at the close.

The fortnightly meeting Of the
Social Club WAS held on Friday, the
10th. inst, a good number of NOM
bers, and a larger proportion than
usual of visitors, being present. The
business was short and loon disposed
of. The band then played Thou
art far from my gaze" and from the
looks of their faces, the nelae evil
IDENTITY recalled the good time they
had enjoyed the day before. The
song "A warrior bold" by Mr.. A..
Churchill, accompanied by Miss
Marlsnd, followed. Then the eli-
tors were called upon to read the
Social Club performer, and refor-
merit was, although this time the
tables were turned, and it was the
ladies themselves who were &c, as
Used" For our part, We do not
agree with any personalities what
ever appearing in paper of that
sort, but, if they are to be allowed,
We think that correspondents ought
to have the courage Of their con-
victions and sign their own, instead
Of fictitious, names to their COM
munications.
The last, but by no means least
item on the programme was a lee
turs on Caves" by Mr.C. II. Black
lock. The subject had been care
fully prepared, and = most interest
ing, as we'll as instructive, lecture
was the result.
We presume the Lessee Of the
Hall thought u practical illustration
was.nccssssry, as the temperature
Of tue room, towards tho close, got
decidedly "Cave-Lke."

Ove-ton County Fair.

Thursday morning your cores
pendent and q few frieRds left this
little village for the 0yerton County
Fair, which commenced on Oct. 9Th
and lasted three days. !
1t was held at Livingston, about
twenty-eight miles west of James
town. A beautiful spot on a hill
just beyond the town had been Sc
lected for the Fair grounds, and
sitting accommodation for $500 pro
vided. The grounds were laid of in
quarter circle, and all the arrange
ments we're considered good Let
me here recommend visitors to III
vingston to stop at Mr.. Stephens i,
an excellent place with first class
accommodation. for q mountain
Hotel.
There was only small atten-
dance on the opening day, the as
cension Of a large balloon in the
afternoon being the sole attraction,
and the day closed quiet. On Fri,
day 5000 people visited the fair.
The stock introduced was very fine,
the horses being as good as are ia
be seen anywhere. A very fair as
sortment of hogs and sheep had also
been entered. There is evidently y
marked improvement in the stock Of
old Overton County, and may this
continue until as fine stock is to be
seen in their fair as can be found
in Lexington, KY, or anywhere else.
Among the horses Mr.. Keyton
owned the fastest, covering a mile
in something less than three mi
nutes. Several gentlemen entered
for the premiums for graceful rid
ing, resulting on Friday in favor of
Alec. Barns, and on Saturday, after
q long contest, in favor of Mr.. Geo.
Gunnels, Albany, KY, with Mr.. S.
pickens, Picket Co., a good second.
On Saturday, tight rope per-
Torrance drew a large crowd. Many
thought it just wonderful. Nothing
else extraordinary happened, the
fair closing peacefully.
I should feel as though | was do
ing the fairer sex an injustice, were
l to omit any mention Of the Floral
Hall. Everything worn by man.
woman, or child was to be found
there, and the excellence of the
make shows what Overton County
girls can do. The Floral Hall was
an honor both to them and their
County.

The following is an editorial COM
ment on a letter from Morgan Co
to the SPIRIT OF THE Farm


to the SPIRIT OF THE Farm
If our correspondent will take our
experience with the Plateau o. regards
gardening, she will agree with uS, that
it is impossible to make her garden
permanently productive; and for that
reason it makes no difference how many
crops grow in year, as each and every
one, each year, must be grown from
manures. The soil is underlaid by a
subsoil of porous gravel, and every kind
Of manure runs through like sieve. 1t
can only be fertilized for one crop, as
the manure will all disappear in one
season.
This may be true Of certain Sec
tons of the Cumberland Plateau,
but FIVE years experience of garden
ing in Morgan County has taught our
settlers that the clay subsoil-not
porous gravel, as stated-will per-
manently retain any fertilizer that
is put on it.

informed by Mr.. Walton. Manager

enquiring for the best route to Rug

nection can be made with the Gin

Some of our friends, who have
travelled over this route to Canada,
speak very highly, not only of the
beauty of the scenery along the
road, but alsoof the superior accom-
mediation, and the unvsrying cour-
tesy of the officials.

the higher branches Of fine art. There are

pursue the higher studies. The facilities for
each study is limited, 10 remedy this an Art
Students League, similar TO that which is so
successfully conducted in the city of New York.
should be organized. The "league was estab.
lished, and is maintained and managed by art
students for the purpose of obtaining the best
instruction possible in drawing, painting,
anatomy, perspective, and composition, and Is
managed by Il board of control consisting of
twelve members elected annually, majority
of whom are workers In the life classes. The
school is open to all whose artistic knowledge
attains the standard set by the league"
Monthly meetings of the league are held ut
which pictures, sketches, and works by artists
of the highest reputation are shown. In all
the rooms of the league arc hung examples Of
photographs, etchings, and autotypes or repro
ductions of well.Known and standard works of
art, which are constantly being increased
These specimens of work are for the purpose OF
encouraging and stimulating the students in
the school to higher standards. A members
