UNION HILL NOTES.

Glad to note from The Eagle cor
respondent at Minter Springs that the
enterprising little city of Wellborr
celebrated Mothers Day. Here at the
Hill we have had quite program for
the past four years. Mothers Day at
Union Hill has past and gone into
history. We had most glorious meet
ing and a comfortably seated house
Many sweet, noble pure things were
said about mother" and many verses
repeated from the Scriptures bearing
on motherhood. We were treated to
an eloquent address by that good
Christian gentleman, DR.. Chastain OF
the A. and NJ College. 1t is so nice
and kind for these educated, entertain
ing speakers to come out and help
their country cousins. DR.. Chastain
has the heartfelt thanks of the entire
community. Come again, doctor; you
are always welcome. Many are the ex-
picoSiOhs VI ucASut anu pcucutldi
thoughts heard from the populace.
We have also been delighted to have
Mrs. Robert Childress ynee Miss Myr-
tie Andrews) with US. She is now
a resident of Taft. We all miss
Myrtle. She was great worker for
the uplift of mankind, and is greatly
missed. Our loss is Taft's gain.
Mr.. Roy Royal was also with us
with his bride. He is now a resident
of Houston, in the civil service of the
United States postoffice department.
He says he is pleased with Houston
and his work, but could never forget
the place of his birth, and as soon as
married he came up to>see his friends
and relatives. He was for quite while
our leader in song service, and for
the past several years has been great
ly missed in church and school work.
He returned to his work on Wednes-
day, regretting that his stay could not
be prolonged. He and his wife both
expressed themselves as having had
a most delightful time, and were sur
prised at the wonderful growth of the
Hill and Bryan in the past few years.
/ understand there are several resi-
dences to be erected at an early date
at the Hill. They are now boring wells
preparatory to putting up residences.
At an early date Bryan, Union Hill
and College will be Joined, the growth
of of the community is so rapid.
Crops are needing rain. Irish po-
tatoes are a short crop. Gardens are
fair. Some cotton is fine. And we will
soon be CLEANED out" and are look
ing forward to a bountiful harvest.
The Christian Sunday school had it's
picnic at Royals Lake in the post
oaks, and many were the expressions
OF delight They certainly had great
outing and grand time.
Rev. James n. Thomas, pastor of
the Christian Church at Bryan, is hold
ing a protracted meeting at the Hill
this week, and is having fair congre-
cations. He is contemplating the or
ganization of a rural church. We hope
he will succeed in doing so, as there
are a number here who are already
members of that denomination.
We noticed several visitors at the
Hill lately from different portions of
the county.
Come and be with us during our
several meetings this summer, and
especially be present at the services
every night this week.
Notice today much oat cutting, and
they are good, some attaining the
height of four and one-half feet.
Union Hill has some good agricul
turists in her midst.
