Blackstone, Va
Sept. 2S, 81.

On the 18th of October, the corner
stone of Parksley Baptist Church
will be laid with Masonic ceremonies.
This bids fair to be an occasion OF
more than local interest. A choir of
fifty voices is being trained to fur
nish music for the occasion. The
services, connected with laying the
cornerstone, will begin at II o'clock
a. Ill. Rev. A. e. Owen, of Ports
mouth, who is Tidewater Virginia's
pulpit orator, has consented to be
present and will address the audience.
Our distinguished Judge, j. w. g.
Blackstone, whose voice has often
been heard in our Legislative halls
and elsewhere, will speak as repre-
sentative of the Order of Masons.
Dinner will be served on the ground
at fifty cents per meal, refreshments
and other things will be sold Tor the
benefit of the new church. An oys-
ter supper will be served at about
5 o'clock. Every effort is being made
to make this corner stone laying a
memorable occasion; not only will the
distinguished visitors, already named
be present, but every Baptist pastor
on the shore has been invited, and
most of them will be present. DIR. q.
F. Bagby, the eminent scholar, edu'
Gator and preacher, of Farmville, Will
be on the shore at that time, and
will be present and assist in the SER
vices. The Baptists OF Parksley are
few in number, but have undertaken
a great work. They ask for your
help and cooperation. We give
everybody cordial and pressing in
vitation. Let everybody come. You
will have IL good time.

Pupils at BIackst"ne Female IM,fi-
ntute From Eastern ShOre.

EDITOR ENTERpRIsE:-It will no
doubt give you pleasure to know OF
the success of school which you
have helped to advertise through the
columns of your paper. The Black
stone Institute opened the present
session with u large increase over any
previous year. We have about 12C
boarders and over 40 day pupils,
making q total up to the present
time of about 1865 This number will
gradually be augmented no doubt
until the school roll for the year
1878 will reach at least 175. Your
readers will doubtless be interested
IN the names of the young ladies from
the Eastern Shore. They are as fol-
lows:
Miss Kate Walden, Bloxom; Misses
George Lewis and Carrie Gayle,
Onancock; Misses Minnie Ward, Ellle
and Bessie Phillips. Onley; Miss Min
ME White, Fair Oaks; Misses Sadie
Harmon, Clara Hume and Lula
Wickes, Wachapreague; Miss Pearl
Marsh, Harborton; Miss Marie Byrd,
Keller; Miss Minnie Wescott, Maps
burg; Misses Sadie, Bette Rue and
Mary Kellam, Belle Haven; Miss Car
rie Elzey, Exmore; Miss Lucy Rogers,
Nassawadox; Misses Alice Norman,
Maggie Landlord and Hattie Scar
borough, Franktown; Miss Henrietta
Turner. Bayford; Misses Charlotte
Stoakley. Julia. Bessie and Annie
Crowder, Cheriton, and Misses Hyla
Hunt and Lula Scott, Capeville, Va.
These with our two assistant teach
ers, Misses Monnie Ward and Zillah
Mapp, give a delegation of 80 girls
from the Eastern Shore, so that it
would be hardly possible for any per
son from the Eastern Shore to come
to Blackstone and not see some famil.
lar face.
We have no doubt that your paper
assisted in this result, and we think
it only right that you should have
some public credit for it.
Yours sincerely,
