BARBARA'S LETTER FROM CUL-
LEOKA.

CULLEoKA, June Sunday was
another day on which angels leaned far
over the battlements of heaven to catch
the devotive offerings of the little chill
dren as they. were waited heaYenward
by the gentle morning breeze. 1t was
a glorious Children's Day. The pro-
gram was, for the most. part, conducted
bV the little people, and one seeing their
sweet, child-like faith and interest
as shown in every recitation and song,
could not fail to know that Christ dwelt
in their pure little hearts, and to fully
realize the truth of Christs words "Of
such is the kingdom of heaven"
The school here closes this week, and
our teachers will soon be going to their
respective homes. Misses Macon and
Myers have jointly conducted the school
for the past two years, and the patrons
regret exceedingly that they will not re-
turn next year, for they have been faith
full to their duty and have given entire
satisfaction.

Love went down to Pulaski to attend the

ly in Gully.

z Now that necessity so urgently de-
mands it, they are preparing to tear
down the old trestle at this place and
put in it's stead handsome iron bridge.
The trestle has long been a veritable
death-trap, and we are glad to see it
torn away.
The men are beginning to dig their
potatoes. The potatoes are very fine,
and we hear that Ed Henderson has
shown the finest sample.
The wheat, oats and corn look I'M
usually well. Some claim that the
wheat and oats will make the best
yield we have had for years. Soon we
will hear the click of the busy ma
chinery as it cuts and binds.
Before closing my letter, l should
like to compliment Lesha little. Her
writings have the ring of true literary
mind, and we beg her not to bury her
talent in a napkin, but to give the world
the benefit of her genius.
BARBARA.
