Charlottesville Letter.

Well.as we have not had a letter for
sonetime and while the sun is at its
highest we thought we would give you
a few lines for our friends are contin-
ueIv asking about the Charlottesville
letter. Well, it seems that they want
to know what is going on In our city
and IL seems that the only way is 10y
reading the Richmond PLANET which
will ALWAYS be found on sale at Ma
brey and Perkins, 25S W. Main st.
The churches were all well attended
Sunday although it was dry and hot.
Mrs f. M. PicSney, the revivallst
who has been Conducting meeting
at the Shiloh Church for sometime,
closed her meeting last Thursday
night, She had large crowds every
night. Mrs. Pickney is a powerful
speaker. We welcome her to our city
and hope she may visit us again.
A few Sunday nights ago the Zion
Union Baptist Church was crowded TO
witness the installation of their pastor,
Rev. d. A. Gave. The Rev. Campbell
preached a very interesting and IN
structive sermon after which Brother
John Dickerson gave the hand of fell
loWship and welcome to the pastor
elect. Rev. Cave then made short
talk saying that he was not here to
take sides with any one, that he had
nothing to do with the past and that he
had no pets-but was every body s
preacher and was here to do good. We
hope he will live up to his talk but if
not he will have to take what he sows.
The Counsel for Rev Nelson has got
a stay in his case until September so as
to carry it TO the Court of Appeals. We
hope he may get new trial.
