Nashville Banner: The Monteagle
sunday-school Assembly will open this
seaton June 30tb, and close August
2lst. The indications for a successful
session and large attendance are ex,
ceedingly flattering. improvements
have been going on continually, among
which may be mentioned quite a
number OF cottages, built by pfivste
individuals on lots purchased last sea
ton. Several summer residences have
been erected, showing q disposit on
on the part of the owners TO build a
better class OF houses with more con-
veniences than those put up in pre-
viOns years.
One Of the more substantial i'm
pIovements to be made this season is
the Georgia Teachers Home, a repre-
sentstion Of which appears above.
This will be Commodious and band
some building. More than one. third
OF the money for its construction has
tesn raised in Georgia. The building
will be well furnished and finished in
the latest style, and will accommodate
100 people. The estimated cost OF
the home is $4,000, this being exclu-
sive OF the furniture.
The Alabama teachers have selected
lots for their home and have secured a
large part Of the money necessary for
its erection. Strong efforts will be
made to have 1t completed by June
3Oth. This structure will cost $500.
The large ice-house on the assembly
grounds has been filled with an excel
lent quality Of ice during the past
winter for use in the heat ed season.
The summer schools are progressing
well and Prof. Baskerville and his CO.
laborers are sanguine as to the results.
They have announcements nearly
ready sfor publication, and expect to
issue them during the next two or
three weeks. AS far as completed the
programme for lectures and other en-
tertainments promises ID be a rich
one, az some very able men and wom-
EN- have bt en- secured.
Mrs. Alden OF Cincinnati, better
known as "Pansy," has been engaged
to take charge OF the children's meet
iDgs. Frank Beard, the caricsturist of
the Judge, has been engaged for a
week, and will interest everybody
with his famous "chalk talks" which
have given him national reputation.
Arrangements have been sufficiently
perfected to warrant the announce
ment that first class Grassland will
furnish music during the season. The
Rev. J. H. Vincent, DID,, Of New
York has consented 10 deliver several
lectures, which will add materially to
the interest OF the Chautauqua Liter
airy Social Circle work. The Rev. DIR,
Palmer OF New Orleans will return
this season aud will make his stay
longer than last summer. DIR. Palmer
has few equals as a pulpit orator.
A feature possessing particular at
fractions for the ladies will be the visit
OF Mrs. Ewing, teacher in the art of
CO king. Mrs. Ewing will for several
weeks give lessons each day in pIacti-
cal Coohing. She will have room
especially fitted up with a stove and
necessary articles for teaching in de-
tail the mysteries OF good cooking.
Several prominent and Influential la.
dies OF Nashville have taken a deep
interest in securing Mrs. Ewing, and
will render her all the aid in their
power. This alone ought ID bring hun
dreds to Nor tsagle, as it is said Mrs
Ewing has the happy faculty of i'm
parting much knowledge in this line.
Another feature, and one which will
be emphasized this year, is the giving
OF lectures, accompanied by stereopti-
con views.
The Arkansas traveller, the Rev. A.
X. Winfield of Little Rock, will be
present and make some interesting re-
marks.
The committee are rot ready TO |
make public their programme, but a

,uts Of the teachers homes, public |
and views on the assembly
grounds. The book will embrace over
slghty pages and $1,000 copies will be
distributed.
The hotel and dining hall will be in
yeod bands this year, and run on a
somewhat different plan. A lunch-
counter will be on the assembly
grounds, where one can get a cup OF
,oiiee, q glass OF milk or a sandwich.
During the past winter the grounds
AVE been in charge of Capt. Sam

much cleaner and more attractive
