M0NTEAGLE ASSEMBLY.

The success of this recent addition to
the numerous organizations devoted to
Christian culture is assured, and the man.
ayers are the bappiest and busiest men to
bs found anywhere lower than 1000 feet
above sea.level. DR.. Warren's broad
smile greets the many throngs whose
coming proves the life of the institution
with no ordinary evidence Of ofgrati6cation.
The executive committee have rescinded
their regulation forbidding the construc.
ton of any building during the session
of the Assembly, and two houses are to
be erected forthwith to accommodate the
large attendance expected within the
next few weeks. President Reppard,
who has labored 80 diligently and whose
spirit is large factor of success, wit
nesses these moving signs Of q great fu-
ture for Monteagle with manifest joy.
The Summer schools are we'll attended,
and merit their appreciative patronage.
There are most excellent teachers in all
departments, and it is a great privilege
to spend few weeks under their instruc.
ton. Mere than twice the number of
tickets sold this time last year have been
taken, and all seem to be we'll pleased
with the instruction. There are about
twenty-five teachers engaged in instruc.
tion, and nearly every department of our
best Universities is taught.
The cooking school has attracted great
attention, and deservedly so. 1t is the
dawning of new era, and is welcomed
by every lover of good dinner. The
teacher of Latin and Greek has hardly
an equal on the continent. Every one is
charmed with DR.. Baskerville's instruc.
ton in English. Art and music are
taught by the best teachers. The lectures
by Prof. Ayres, on music. are considered
of unusual excellence, and very general
desire is expressed to have them publish
ed in pamphlet form. The schools con-
tinue till August the 18th; the Assembly
till August the 25th.
Mrs. g. R. Alden (Pansy) will hold a
number of meetings for primary teachers
from August the 9th to the close. An
une1celled opportunity will be. provided
for these teachers to prepare themselves
for greater usefulness. Every Sunday
School should be represented. Frank
Beard is to be here to delight everybody
with his "Chalk Talks" The Southern
department of the O. L. S. @. will have
graduation day July the S0th, when DR..
Vincent will be here to deliver the ad-
dress and confer the diplomas. The
Montesgle Annual, telling all about the
Assembly, is sent for red postage stamp,
on application to J. D. Anderson, Mon.
tesgle, Tenn.
The coming of DR.. Carlisle is looked
forward to by his numerous friends
here with great pleasure, and the testi-
mony of managers and people is, "He is
one man we are always glad to hear"
Round.trip tickets are not on sale in
our State. The fare for the round trip
from Augusta is S15.45; from Atlanta,
$3.50. There lis large number of
faithful Sunday School workers, whose
unwearied service has long ago earned for
them at the hands Of their school, the
privilege of staying here for few weeks.
South Carolina has always heen poorly
represented here. How long shall it be
80? Several States and cities have built
homes here for their teachers. Alabama
and Georgia are at work raising funds to
build a homo for their teachers. The
Nashville Home has over twenty rooms,
and all are full. The most favorable
terms are offered to States to build these
homes, and we hope DR.. Carlisle will
select the lot and organize committee,
whose work it shall be to build home
for tho teschera of South Carolina,
