/ gave up my school ard moved to this
city and began teaching here. About
forty of my boys came from the south
to Baltimore to enter my school, and
had l not changed my religion | would

time after / came here, however, |
grew convinced that my religious
ideas were wrong, and from being an
~EpiscOpalian | was converted to Ca
thOlicism and became a member Of the
Catholic church. The most of my
students were EpiscOpaliars, and when
their parents learned of the change in
my religious belief they withdrew
their o n from the school, and the re-
suit was that l eventually gave up
teaching. In the meantime | had
written some short stories, which were
published in a southern magazine that
wa then printed here in Baltimore.
These now form part of my book,
known as the 'DukesbOrOugh Tales
They attracted attention, but l never
thought of their having any money
value until one day Mr.. Alden, the edi-
tor of Harper's Magazine, asked me
what had received for them. He was
surprised when | told him that | had
written them for nothing, and he said
that he would be glad to have me do
some writing for Harper's, and that If
| could give him stories like those he
would pay for them. l then wrote
some stories for Harper's. They were
published and paid for, and | have
been writing from that time to this.

AS you failed to put in your ap-
pearance on the glorious Fourth
last week, by invitation, to report
our celebration, yourcorrespondent
will undertake to do so. BY re-
quest of the old people the place
of assembling was changed from
Big Sandy River to grove near
the residence Of Mr.. E. N. CULLEN.
Messrs. CULLEN and W. G. Rushing
furnished a fine mutton each and
Mr.. J. R. Herrin fat hog, which
were barbecued. The fishermen
of the neighborhood put out their
lines the evening previous and they
furnished fish for the occasion. We
had barbecue, fsh-fry, picnic and
neighborhood reunion. Probably
one hundred people attended and
they took dinner and supper on the
ground. There were a few visitors
present, notably Mr.. Amos Corbitt,
Colonel and Mrs. Weddlestedt and
Miss Lizzie Rushing, the latter be-
ing from Henry County. We had
good time, which will long be re-
membered by the little folks, who
were out infull force, and they add
ed much gayety and pleasure to the
occasion. The day was enjoyed by
all, and peace, plenty and harmony
prevailed. The greatest blessing
of all, however, came after night
fall, when we had a glorious, good
rain, and it was badly needed.
Several items of interest, left out
for want of space, will be reported
