Last Sunday was a beautiful day for

LYNNvILLE ITEMS.

Lynnyille, one of the most business
like places on the Nashville and Deca-
tur Railroad taking its age and size
into consideration has sprung up since
1865. Before that time there was moth
ing In the way Of houss where it is
now situated, except very small
shanty. It now has about fifteen stores,
and twice as many dwelling houses,
besides very handsome Presbyterian
Church, the members of which are SO
fortunate as to have Mr.. Stodderd, one
Of the most accomplished and estimable
ministers in the State, for their pastor.
The merchants have commenced to
bring on their spring goods. Mr.. Witt,
one Of the most prominent merchants
of the town, is now in New York for
the purpose Of "laying in" supply,
and as he IS gentleman of taste We are
sure he will bring on an excellent selec-
ton of goods.
The masons Of this place were sum-
moned to Brick Church last Saturday
morning, for the purpose of perform
ing the funeral rites Of their brother,
Doctor Alfred H. White. The Doctor
was taken very suddenly on Sunday,
the 18th inst, and died on Friday, the
End inst. He was an excellent physi-
clan, aud his loss will be a severe stroke
upon the people of his community.
The measles has been quite prevalent
in this community for some time, but
we believe it is somewhat abated now.
While it was in its zenith several deaths
were caused from it.
Old Lynnville had many trials and
misfortunes during the war. The Fed

the way, have been credited to the Chi

being raised for their relief.
The people Uf Old Lynnville, both
white and black, seem to he ola litera-
ry turn of mind. They have four
schools, two white, and two colored.

Brick Church for the last seven years, is

tie Caldwell, q most competent teacher,
and excellent lady, has charge OF the
female school at Old Lynnville. She is
q native of the land OF learning, (Vir-
ginia, and we are assured that she is a
fair representative. Mr.. Stodderd has,
we do not doubt, serious fears rs TO the
eyes of some Of his students, and he has,
we are sure, just cause to fear (that il

never before saw boys strain their eyes

A M.ury County Belle Abroad.

A recent letter from Rome to ono vi
the New York papers ssys:
"Two American women have been
asserting themselves in ROme---Miss
Polk, OF Tennessee, relative Of our
President Of that name, and Miss Har-
riet Hosmer. They with others have
had fox hunt on the Campagns. Tho
meeting was five miles FROM tho gates of
Rome. The first day Miss Polk did
not ride, but Miss HosIner did, and TO
some purpose, for she divided the hon
ors with Prince Humbert, Victor E0l-
manuel's son, he received the body Of
the prize aud she the brush or tail. In
the second hunt four other ladies took
part and followed the hounds with Miss
Hosmer, Miss Polk being one of them.
There were forty riders aud the Aperi-
can woman carried of the palm. Miss
Polk Ii beauty and belle; Is Q great
favOrite with the Italians, her warm,
friends. She is q beautiful rider, Per.
fectly fearless; knows thoroughly how
to manage her horse, and sits 1t rs
though she yag part vi the apimal, and
has withal a graceful, sWaying motiOn
and an arimated look that Is very at
tractive,"
Miss Antoinette v. Polk Is q native Of
this county, and daughter of Col.
Andrew j. Polk, before the war the
princely owner of the Ashw0Od palatial
residence and magnificent farm. Soon
after the war Col. Polk and his family
went to Europe, and remained there
until his death, which took place in
Switzerland In 1867. The family remain
ed only short time at their beautiful
home in this COUNTY, before they re-
turned to Europe, to give the younger
children an education which only Eu-
rope can afford. Miss Polk has always
been fine horseback rider, and during
her visit to her home several years ago,
she Mortified her city gallant, one dGy,
when they were riding together in the
woods, by clearing fence at leap,
while he had to get down and let down
the fence in order to keep up with her.
When Columbia was first occupied by
the Federal forces, sll the Foads were
picketed by cavalry, who halted every
boiy and appropriated such horses as
they thought fit for service. Miss Folk
had been In town, and was ON her re-
turn home to Ashvood, when she was
stopped by a picket, but was finally
allowed 10 proceed. She had gone but
a short distance, however, before the
Federals noticed that she was riding .
very fine animal and called to her to
halt. She had no idea OF turning her
horse over 10 ths enemy, aud socard-

John Brown, of The vicinity Of Gull
leoka, fell In love with Miss Ducky
Scribnef. . girl Of fifteen or sixteen
summers. The girls mother and father
have always opposed the marriage OF
their Daughters, and the consequence II,
that three or four Of them have run
away and married mon of their own
choice. Brown determined to steal
Miss Olcky also, and his brOther-in-
law, VIM. Wright, came to Columbis,
got the license from Capt. Hickey, and
gave It, Of course, to ESQ.,, j. I. Hunt, OF
Culle0ka, who msrrios oil the runaway
couples in that vicinity. Well, the
Squire and A. 7. Stenbeck got up bright
and early ON Tuesday morning, and
went over to Mr.. WriKht's, whore he
was TO meet Brown and his sfiinanced
and marry them. But they were not
O'Clock, when he and Joe w. Moore
who ha3 also arrived, went over in the
direction Of the Mr.. Scribner's. On tho
way they met John Brown and ono or
two friends. when they reached the
neighborh0Od Of Mr.. John Scribner's
house, ono vi the party gave several
loud screams, and in q few minutes
Miss Ducky was seen coming down the
field In the direction Of the spring.
Before she had gone far, however, her
mother was also seen 70 run rapidly
after her, catch her and send her back
into the house. Brown, the Squire and
the others went up TO the gate, and were
met by the old lady, with an immense
rock in her hands, which she threaten
cd to throw at the first one that At
tempted to come in. Brown and his
party then withdrew from before the
gate, made flank moment, and got near
70 tho other side Of the house. Mrs.
Scribner met them again, and prevent.
ed their admission. The young lady,
ON being asked by her lover il she was
willing TO marry him, replied that she
vas, aud intended to d. so, at Some
time or other. Seeing that Mrs. Scrib-
ner was 80 much opposed to their adj
mission, the party withdrew. And so
the marriage did not take place.
Since the above was in type, we learn
that Mr.. Brown and Miss Scribner veIe
married ct the residence OF VIM. Wright,
by Esq. Hunt, Oh the Id. Although
the snow was deep it did not deter the
young lady from walking to the place
appointed for their me sting.
