DRESS Hill

The Hill has been as quiefS
quieter this week than last and
Uses to be so for awhile, il the pre-
ent indications are to be taken as nm
omen. One peculiar Circumstance Is
the fact that it has been fair weather
for the past few weeks and neither
of the church congregations have
embraced the opportunity of rush
ing an ice cream festival, or anything
of the kind, which is something very
unusual within itself and shows the
extent to which the Hill is resting
during the warm weather
The sOcials promised for this week
have failed to materialize and the
churches were the only places for the
young people to congregate, therefore
a very good attendance was noted at
all the religious gatherings of the
Hill, even at the choir practice of the
two churches, that of the blackberry
Street Methodist Friday night, and
that of the South Pine Street Presby-
terrain last night. The latter was
more largely attended than the form
er, owing to the fact that few of the
young people went to the home of
the Misses Wood. on Live Oak street,
Friday evening where they spent a
pleasant social time, therefore dwind-
ling the attendance, which would have
otherwise been present.
Next week promises to be almost as
dull and slow as the one past, no So
cial events yet being mooted, except
an entertainment of the South Hack
berry Street Epworth League, which
takes place next Friday, August IA.
For this quite nice program has been
arranged No admission fee will be
charged, but a voluntary collection
will be taken up to defray expenses.
Last Tuesday night the regular bus
mess meeting of the South Pine Street
Westminster League was held, but
the business transacted was very
light. The chairmen of the various
committees reported their depart
ments in good working order, and this
constituted about all the business of
the League with the exception of the
acceptance of Mr.. Gay Smith as a
member. President Miss Nellie An
drews conducted the meeting and
Allie Martin attended to the minutes
in the absence of the secretary, Miss
May Burgess The treasurer, Miss
Sevilla Passmore, reported $125 in
the treasury for the past month, with
no expenses, and the meeting adj
journed.
