FROM CHARLOTTESVILLE.

Charlottesville is not booming, but
steadily and substantially growing
Justly favored as it has been this year
with many important gatherings, her
citizens feel proud to know that all
visitors were happily entertained ac-
coiding to their own statements, and
therefore resolved to keep up the same
standard and hospitality, and be ready
to present it TO larger number next
year. We shall ever remember the
Summer School of Methods and were
more than please to learn from the
Progress yesterday, that it will con-
vene here again next summer. We
shall expect a large crowd OF teachers
next year and will be prepared to en-
terrain them.
Summer has gone and things are
about to settle down to fall life, at
least the school children thought so by
the call to books issued from the pull
pits last Sunday. In obedience to the
call SO answered to their names this
morning at the jefferson Graded
School. Teachers and pupils seem
ready for the task.
AS this is simply an introduction
we shall not attempt any special news
OF churches or people but promises
that we shall in our next make men,
ton of the happenings in and about
our city since your last items from
here and strive TO deal faithfully with
our churches and people in the future
aud hope they will show their appre-
citation by being faithful TO the PLAN
EFT.
Yours,
