Attention Young AIen.

We would submit plain fact to
your serious consideration. Wheth-
er the fact of a mans subscribing
for the CITIZEN facilitates either di-
rectly or otherwise, his early mar
riage thereafter, or not, we would
not affirm. But one thing is certain,
we call to mind many instances
within the past few months, where
these two events followed, the one
the. other, in quick succession.
Whether the numbers of instances
tested are sufficient to establish a
general principle, be We the judges
But to the facts. A short while
since, our friend w. A. Rothrock,
merchant at Brick Church, gave MS
his name as subscriber, and in less
than a month, he was husband to
one of the best young ladies in the
land. Another, on last Monday, a
young friend from Lynnville board
ed the train at that point, bound
for Pulaski. He looked at US, and
we looked at him, as much as to
say subscribe" We approached,
and he said "yes." And then we
thought what would be next. And
ere another Sabbath dawned upon
the world our Lynnville friend was
a respectable married man.
We can multiply instances to any
desired extent, Alternately, Bergie,
Inman, etc. And there's Judd, that's
going to marry, and that soon.
Now all these nice young men are
cases directly in point. In fact we
recall but few, who have given us
their names, who didn't also soon
there after marry, and marry to adj
vantage. AS we propose to sup
press no fact which would seem to
be against US, candor requirs us to
the following names Of
those who have become subscribers,
but who have not yet succeeded in
securing the wife. And we hazard
the Oppinion that even in these
seeming exceptions, some unlock
ed-for, counteracting causes, (such
as the girls refusal) have nullifed
our reasonable calculations of their
The exceptions, (and
they are. honored ones) are as fol-
lows
P. S. Having gone around since
the above and felt of the
excepted" touching the publica-
ton of their names, they except to
it, and we forbear.

This gentleman delivered in Pu
laski last Monday a speech, which
for point and force, simplicity and
effectiveness, we have rarely heard
equaled. Mainly it was an agricul-
tural talk addressed to the farmers,
incidentally, on railroads, addressed
to all-Or, farm products and their
valuation as affected by cheap and
ready transportation to good mark
cts. He showed to the satisfaction
of his hearers, among other things,
the superiority of the narrow
gauge road over the broad gauge.
in the cost, lst., of construction,
and then of operating them, and the
superiority in their relative capacity
for transportation and travel That
they are demotstrably cheaper
freieht-carriers than the farmer
own wagon, team and driver. That
the NJ. E X. road would, from a
fore-gone commercial necessity find
its way, and build itself, from
Huntsville and Fayetteville, via Pu-
laski, Clifton, Paris, Maytield and
Cairo, to st. Louis. Thus making
the route from us to this great flu
tuEe city of the continent, SO miles
nearer than by way of Nashville
and the Southeastern route; that
it would as inevitably go to Mem
phis, the best cotton market in all
the land, thus linking Pulaski and
Giles, with two of the most import
ant commercial markets in the
Southwest. He also showed an
instance in point, found in Miss,
being the case of 8 narrow-gauge on
a route of25 miles, over a tract OF
country far inferior to Lawrence
county in all the elements of mate
rial prosperity, where there wac an
annual earning OF transportation
profits of $4,000 per mile for this
short route, safely deducing there
from the easy inference, that should
the NJ. & X. road only so from Pu-
laski to LawrenceGurg, it would
prove a profitable enterprise to
Lawrence and Giles. But better
than this, should it reach, as it must

We are sorry for the young DR..
that invested his dollar to go to the
lecture last week, but chiefly to en-
Joy the charming society of a GER
tain young lady, but who was called
away before the lecture began, to
see patient. Being a considerate
young man, he singled out, in his
mind, a gallant young friend, and
sent note back to the hall request
ing him to see his young lady friend
home-the which said friend was
proposing to do, but was anticipated
by one Tom Buford.

from here to Nashville and other
points. 1t is one of the mysteries,
that the country generally is with
out meat, and that few farmers
have been SO exceptionally success
full.
Saturdays train brought to our
litlgious little town an unusually
large assortment of Pulaski lawyers.
We saw Messrs Lester, Taliaferro,
Jones and Richardson, and there
may have been others. We also
had an auction, and a very large
crowd, and unless appearances are
very deceitful, an UNUSUAL amount of
drinking.
On the End, at the residence of
the brides father, near Campbells-
vile, were married, Mr.. William
Smith and Miss Sophronia Yokely.
The beauty and attractiveness of
this lady have won for her an un-
usual amount of admiration, and
rumor says that the contestants for
the prize have been many. She is
brunette in type, slightly above me-
dunn height, and a splendid form.
But her goodness of heart and
sweetness and force of character,
after ali, constitute her great at
traction, for these are qualities
that never wear out. The gentle
man who turned this fascinating adj
verb into a noun, deserves all pos
sible congratulations.
Mrs. Smith gave an entertainment
on Thursday night, to welcome the
young people. There was Miss
Jennie Yokely, who-thought
was handsomer than the bride, and
SalIie Fry,

Beside a human door,"
Miss Hetty Fry, Miss Josephine
Mitchell, Miss Jennie Beatty, Miss

lack many years of their golden
wedding, to Mr.. Pardenhimer and
the goodly wife he married last fall,
down to Hoyt Fleming and his
charming bride, who departed this
single life a few days ago. The

pupils, and Miss Annabelle was so
beset with them all night that their
venerable preceptor offered TO re-
lieve her by sending for the nurse
and having them put to bed, but
with her usual goodness, she insist
ed on their being allowed to sit up.
In short, the entertainment was ex-
quisite in every particular, and when
Miss Sallie Smith, to whom its pleas
antness was largely due, gets up
one on her own account, we hope
we will be there.
We have had a Boat in this re-
gion, long suspected of piratical in
tentions. On the End inst, it
steamed up to Maury and captured
that very pretty little schooner "The
Fanny Foster" Or to lay aside fig
ures, our old friend, Tom Boatright
afforded another glorious proof
that he who perseveres, although
he may meet with disappointments
innumberable, will succeed at last.

brought to the Senate to vote, when the question
comes up in that body.
