FROM "RATTLLSNAKE LODGE"
Clarkson. Tenn. Sept. Q. 1900,


Ed. CoMET:-One of the most bril-
liant entertainments of the valley this
summer was the lecture Of Hon. A. A.
Taylor ut Enon last night. His subject
was "Life's Poetry and Pearls, and
the large audience TO which he deliver

very appreciative. Just month ago

on Glove, Laughter and Song" at the
same church, and for the same purpose
for the benefit of the church. Enon
is beautiful little Baptist church in
the valley near where Clark's creek
empties into the Nola Chucky. It has
been peculiarly blest in it's financial
struggles by having two such popular
and distinguished men to lecture for it
free. They were both glad to contribute
their services to the debt-ridde1 church
and commended the leading spirits in
their worthy enterprise. Hon. ALI
Taylor was unstinted in his praise of
DIR. VIM. Smith, VIM. Harris and Maj.
James Deakn, who have adhered to
the enterprise with such persistence
and zeal. The crowd last night was
large and neat sum was realized.
A large number Of people attended
the Sunday school picnic at New Salem
church yesterday. The exercises were
held in the beautiful grove near the
church, and consisted Of singing, reci-
tations, etc. The master Of ceremonies
was DR.. Ed Humphreys. The leading
address of the day was delivered by
Hon. Baxter Taylor, the prominent
young politician, who is the democratic
elector for the First congressional dis
