Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1909-07-22
Caroline Chapel,


--After resting for quite wee bit II
thought | would just step over few
minutes and tell you that we are hav-
ing some very warm weather over on
our side of the mountain. 1t is real
tough on us poor farmers who have to
plow and hoe in our corn fields as
though it was only the first of June,
but nevertheless it's true.
Our Sunday school is progressing
nicely now. Our attendance is not
very large, but there seems to be
good deal of interest manifested. We
are in hopes that the parents will
conclude to take more interest in
their children and win bring them
out to Sunday school, We have
compulsory law now compelling the
narents to send all children from to
10 wears old to our common schools,
and there should be a law compelling
them to send them to Sunday school as
we'll.
Well, our R. d. S got somewhat dis
appointed last SATURDAY Az WV way Vi
big ball game. The Mt Olive team
agreed to meet them at Victoria and
break that tie, but suppose they were
afraid they would loose and didn't
come. Come ahead, "New Writer, "
with your team, and let's have it out,
You know we stand Al to 40 in favor
of the r. DIS.
It was reported that the Etna Noun
tain team was coming over next Sat
urday to entertain the X. DIS, but |
fear it's false report. We would be
glad they would come. The r. D. s
are anxious to play the Sequachee team
if they would only play the Sequachee
boys, but they don't propose to play
Sequachee and Jasper, Victoria and
the pick of the valley. Do fair boys,
Play your own boys, and come over or
send word and the r. D.. s will play
You on your own ground. They are
Young in the cause and think it proper
to be treated so.
Well, wasn't that game last Satur-
day between the Mountain Grey's and
the combined valley teams a lula. F"
Ye writer certainly did enjoy that
game, there were so many fine ser
rors' that it was interesting to watch
them, and think well, what nextY'
Well, if Rev. Mark Young don't dis
appoint us again, there will be preach
ing at this place next Saturday night
and Sunday following. We hope he
will be able to fill his appointment
this time, as we are all very anxious
to hear him. We hope everybody who
can possibly, will come out to hear
Bro. Young, as he is a new beginner
and should be encouraged in his work.
We can't tell what may result from
his efforts and we can assist to build
up or we can tear down as we see
proper. If Bro. Young breaches the
truth receive it; if he breaches false
doctrine let's do like Aquila and Pris
ella did one of the ancient preachers,
take him out to one side and expounC
unto him the true doctrine. Show
him where Paul says if any mar
: preach any other doctrine than the one
he preached let him be accursed.
Some of our boys took in the ice
cream supper at Sulphur Springs Sat
urday night, and we hope they had {
nice time.
