The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1871-04-13

The Circuit Court room was
crowded to Overlooking last Mon
day by outsiders whose curiosity
was excited BY the trial of the
sssmphs az pare who for so long had
quarters IN the county Jail
Felix Markham was fined 50 and
costs BY Esqr Alternately Monday
last for being drunk and disordcrly.
Tax payers would do well to pay
attention to the notice Of the Coan-
ty Court Clerk in this paper in re-
gard to the assessment books.
Two horses attached to a spring
wagon driven 10y Mr.. Ben Wheeler,
who lives about seven miles from
this place, ran away last Monday
near the Factory. Mr.. Wheeler
was thrown from the wagon and,
his coat becoming entangled in the
wheels, he was dragged along some
distance and severely injured both
in the arms and body. No bones
we're broken, howeyer, and he was
enabled with assistance to get home
the same evening,
The entertainment at Campbells-
vile on the evening of the 2Ist inst.
promises to be an elegant affair."
We have received a copy of the pro
gramme and notice that it forms a
choice repertoire of charades and
tabIeaux. Among the former will
be performed "AIatrimony,'' "A
Mistake" Cinderella, "BIad Cap,
"The Six Virtues" and four others.
Among the performers we notice
the names of several ladies and gen
tlemen who possess excellent dra-
matte abilities and we are certain
that the performance will be a sue
cess in every feature. Quite a par
ty Of gentlemen viii attend from
this place, among whom we will
certainly include ourself.
"A communication from -. T" of
Aspen Hill is unavoidably deferred
until next week.
An interesting poetieal efusion
of busters" not only abounding
in local shifts but full of the edi-
vine affiatus, is crowded ont this
week. It will appear next week.
Pearcy, the druggist, has con-
verted a portion of his establish
ment into a horticultural garden
He is importing flowers. Between
pills and shrubs, we are obliged to
confess that the contrast is fearful.
Wheat is progressing finely
throughout the county. In the
suburbs of Elkton it promises to be
unusually fine.
Mr.. Stephen Odineal, an old and
respected citizen of this county,
who lives about six miles from this
place, died very suddenly Monday
last. After partaking of a hearty
dinner and giving every evidence
of perfect health, he was suddenly
taken i'll and died shortly after
wards. His funeral took place the
following day.
Town Constable Richardson was
employed during the greater por-
ton Of last Tuesday in cleaning out
the Town Spring. It is our melan-
choly duty to announce (and as
public journalists we cannot shirk
it, that Jour a0qgon loads of filth
were taken from the spring on that
day. For the benefit of dyspeptics
and all other individuals whose
stomachs are "the faintest, we de-
sire to state that the filth aforesaid
consisted Of old shoes, mud, quart
bottles, highly scented socks of an
eient origin, a reasonable number of
defunct cats, and moderate pro-
portion of dead dogs. Taken alto
gether, this Renaissance of the
spring is calculated to produce a
strong desire for an emetic in the
abdominal precincts of every indi-
vidual who has dipped his beak in
its crystal depths. In fact, we rec
ommend a vomit. Therefore, in the
language of some one whose name
We don't recoHeet, 'Ietu us all puke.' .
We put on record a Kuklux SEN
sation. Two gentlemen living some
five miles south of this place heard
a peculiar noise in their hen house
a few nights ago. Going out on
voyage of discovery they found a
gentleman of hideous proportions
whose status they could not define.
He was clad IN the habiliments of
the Sandwich Islands and his alti-
tude was about seven feet They
respectfully inquired as to the name
which his paternal and maternal
ancestors had bestowed upon him.
The ghostly individual replied in
language decidedly foreign to the
spiritual world. In other words,
he told his interrogators to go to
HI. They did not wish to emil
CRATE to any point nearer the trop-
les than Pulaski, therefore, they re-
monstrated with him in so effectuai
a manner that he took to his heels.
No marriage licenses this week.
Hymen was afraid to show himself
for fear he mightget caught on the
jury.
