The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1890-06-06
Notes for the Bulletin.

Kansas City and few points be-
tween, was one of the many happy
events in my lie, and made so in
10 small part by some of the kind
and thoughtful merchants and other
frie nds of mine at Bolivar, who
presented me with an order for q
fine suit of clothes made to fit by a
st. Louis merchant tailor.
The general conference made US
two most excellent bishops, Drs. o.
P. Fitzgerald and Haygood, and
their election so set in motion th
wheels of ecclesiasti cal progress
that with Hay-good in the (bishop)
wrick, that a (E. Ed Hoss was
hitched up to the editorship eof the
Advocate with not only ability to go
all the gates. but one who starts of
with &c. NJ Bounds. Is not this
fast age and will we not "get there
all the same ?" o, yes; we expect
great things of the church III the
next quadrennIal.
While out southwest l saw signs
OF heavy winds. Timber and houses
had been blown down and at Jeffel>
son City the capitol had been
partly unroofed. The wheat crop
has been shortened by too much
rain and cold in March, but they
bid fair to made up this shortage in
corn, grasses and ether crops.
Kansas City Is taking on very
much of the style of Baltimore, the
push of Chicago end the piety of /
Bolivar.
This scribe had the pleasure to
supplement his western tour with |
trip to Whiteville and in its present |
stopping place on The new railroad
and just IN sight of its old haunts,
for some reason, 1t reminds me of |
a little snake, just few steps from
the first skin it ever shed. Their
prayer meeting, composed of sixty |
females and one male is new de-
parture. 1t may TO we'll for ether
town with less of the spirit Of prog
ress (?) to study before they follow
in this respect, 1t is the conviction
of a Methodist preach er, after sober
reflection, that a prayer meeting
with out prayer is like chicken soup
with the chicken left out, it is "too
thin" After most delightful and
refreshing hour at this peculiar town
(Which l think will remain where 1t |
Is until the end of time) We spent
the night III Dancyville.
Friday is called an unlucky day
but this one brought me the honor
of addressing the Brownsville Dis
trict High School. President Tan
ner, assisted in the examination by
Rev. A. j. Turner, P. g., succeed
ed in convincing all the patrons
and spectators that the course and
administration IS strictly honest
and even above this grade of schools.
These are men who are sought af>
ter and will build up any school or
church.
My revival has begun at Grand
Junction and will continue day
and night through next week. Rev.
w. L. Harris, ID, d.. will hold the
second quarterly conference for this
charge at Hickory Valley, ON the
7th and preach Saturday at | am.
We very much desire full atten-
dance of the official members.
Friday is day set apart Tor fasting
and prayer. Take due and timely |
notice and govern yourselves accor-
dinghy. DIR. Harris Is expected to
preach for us Sunday night at the
Junction. Children's day services
the same day at salisbury, assist
ed by the pastor, and the same kind
of service to be held in Bolivar on
the third Sunday night.
May we not all read the above in
the christians faith and hope of
one day getting to heaven?
