Old Bachelors Blufed.

Some of the old bachelor friends OF
Col. MckiSsack were very anxious,
when they saw the beautiful bouquet
and complimentary note of thanks re-
ceived by that gentleman from the
Young ladies of Martin College the
other day, to have hand in the bust
ness. They offered to help the Col pay
for the oranges so that they might have
a smell at the bouquet and their names
in the paper, but he resolutely refused
to divide honOTs. They did not despair,
however, and thinking to Guido the Col.
they sent a note to the young ladies eX-
planning that they had hand in the
oranges and requesting that they re-
write the note and include them. This
note was intercepted and the following
reply sent back, which we obtained on
the sly:
The young ladies of Martin College
decline to believe that gentlemen who
for time out of mind have shown them
selves incapable of gallantry could now
forget their Assured creed and commit
so unnatural an act of love. If you
did do it, however, forgive us, and ac-
cept the wish that the fragrant dOg-fen-
mel may soon bloom over the sod which
covers you, and n0dding, say to the
breezes ''Here lies the remains OF
good old bachelors; good for nothing
but 10 be old bachelors, end good in
that only that they shutiied of as soon
as possible Believe US, gentlemen,
that although removed from you by
three or four generations, we vet COM
miSerate your condition and pity yonI

Sunday Schools.

MR.. EDITOR Much good has been
accomplished by Sunday School con-
ventions, composed of the Superinten-
dents and teachers of Sunday Schools
in a county or district, i'm which are dis
cussed the best method and proper OBJ
iects of Sunday School instruction; the
duties of Superintendents and teachers;
the opportunities and sponsibilities of
the age. Believing that a convention of
all the Sunday Schools In our county
would at least impart more enthusiasm
i'm Sunday School work, we respectfully
suggest that the Superintendents and
teachers of all the Sunday Schools in
Pulaski and country, as far as practical
BILE, meet on next Sunday evening at 4
O'Clock in the Presbyterian church, to
confer together upon the propriety of a
call for a county convention at no dis
tant day. JAMES MCCALLUM.

SUNDAY School COnventiOn,

We would like to attract special at
tentiOn to a call published elsewhere,
for meeting of Sunday School super
intendents and teachers, at the Presby-
terrain church, next Sunday evening, to
consider the prOpriety of calling a 5. S.
convention. We are glad to see such
men as those who sign this call recog-
nizing the value of this great auxiliary
to religiOn-this great nursery Of Heav-
en-. Certainly there is no higher or
holier employment in this life than that
of training the dear children for Heaven
of intoxicating in their tender young
hearts those fundamental truths and
those holy aspirations that will be unto
them in after life as a shield against the
temptations and allurements of the de-
stroyer. We have often thought that
preachers, teachers and parents, and
christian people everywhere, thought
too little of the Sunday Schools. BY
their negligence and indifference they
permit the lambs, who were born for
Heaven, and given to us to prepare for
that blessed Inheritance, to stray of
among the wolves of sin and unbelief
May we not therefore urge our readers
to consider well the importance of this
subject. Let us have a revival of Sun
day School interests, and by united
effort, rally the populace to sense OF
the golden opportunities they afford for
the promotion of the cause and kingdom
| of the master upon earth.

LYNNVILLE.


Mr.. Joe. Briggs says the grasshop-
pers on part of his place seem to be as the
loeusis of Egypt and more so. Mr..
Jasper Grigsby has had TO pillow up his
cotton because the seed rOtted in the
ground, and NJ. r. Laird says, that for
so acres of his wheat he will take three
bushels an acre. The crops are back
ward, but as a general thing there is an
unusually good stand of corn, and there
are but few complaints about the
cotton The fields are free from weed, and
as remarked in a previous letter, p O.
pie are doing better work than they
have been doing heretofore. No doubt
our very intelligent population are
seeing that ii is a case of root or die,
and take the root side of the dilema.
We regret to have to report that we
have lost our very popular r. r. Agent
DIr. Wheatly. We hear that he is to
go to Decatur, on a larger salary. Mr.
w. has been with us more than a year,
and has won the liking of every one in
the place, and of all who have had
anything to do with the r. r. The
only consolation we have in losing him
is that we get back Mr.. John Shield,
who is a first-rate agent, and who is in
every way an addition to our village.
Mr.. Milton Carter, who has till this
Lindsay, Irvine and Co., also has con-
cluded to change his base to some point
nearer to Pulaski. When people have
once got a taste of our village, they are
apt to find their way back to us, and
we sincerely hope that Mr.. G. will prove
no exception to the rule. \ northern
farmer with $4,000 to invest in land
stopped with us a few days ago; he was
scared away by the height of the hills
around town. To those not used to it,
this country looks as if it had been roll
led over once or twice too often.
a bout the same time we had another
visitor, in the somewhat singular shape
of deaf and dumb intinerant medieant,
who came on the cars. The old proverb
says ''set beggar OH horseback and he
will 90 to a certain party" but we
don't know what place the r. r. car
ries them. This party being educated,
took up a scrap of paper and thus ex-
pressed his gratitude to Dr. Pepper, who
had helped him.
81 hope you will get successed to
high to rich than other men no get.
! Successed to fail is bad"
Tennessee r. X. was good, | was
walk, but the bad is very mud and
creek.
We see that H. o. NJ. is running US
about trying to pass off our five dollar
| dog as a baby. Had we "successed"
we would have saved fifty cents on the
cars, besides receiving sympathy, and
possibly sugar and milk from kind
| passengers, who would have concluded
that we were widower carrying the
child to its Grandma. If our little
game was spoiled by people giggling
/ like geese, it was not our fault.

LYNN CREEK.

Since our last, the beautiful, pleasant
weather, gentle showers and warm sun
have produced a change in the 10Th Dis
trict. Our farmers are cheerful and in
fine spirits, and it seems the only
drawback is the scarcity of provisions
and forage, but their resolution seems
to have won providential favor and
everything gives promise of abundance.
The hard times have learned US that it
is best to have provisions ahead. A Big
Greek farmer said the other day that
this neighborhood had heretofore fur
nished bread to those of the barren re-
gions below US, but now the tide has
turned and we were drawing ratiOns
from that blackberry range. The health
of this vicinity is good. Pap has sur
rendered his store key to his better part
and betaken himself to the plOW-handle,
having realized that hog must root or
die. No marrying up here. It's sad
but true, and the reason given by the
young men, all of whom want to mar
~, is that everything is taxed so high.
Even the ladies add to the tax by assum-
ing such unnatural shapes that it takes
twice as much cloth to make a garment
for them. This is a serious awback
to the young men, and the effect will be,
we fear, TO depopulate the country. 1t
would not be so bad if fashion was not
like the wind, ever changing, so that
| these double expenses would be an
! everyday occurrence. An old gent mp
here the other day went to town and
bought his daughter dress, and mount
! ing his horse, under whip and spur
/ started hOmeward. As he sped through
the neighborhOod the people rushed tC
the doors and asked him what on earth
was the matter, but he never relaxed
his speed but hallOwed back to them a!
he flew, that he bought Sarah Jane {
dress, and wanted to deliver it before
the fashions changed. Now, amt tina
too bad. Why don't Congress do some
thing about it. Mr. w. a. Esselmar
has bought Pap's wood tools, and il
making axe, pick and hammer helves 8

He'll handle you nicely. B. & w.

school on Tuesday morning, / take
pleasure in saying that l was astonished
M the proficiency manifested on the
part of the pupils. 1t was very evident
that the teachers and pupils had
made good use Of the time. The little
fellows evinced that they have been
thoroughly taught in the elements on
which rests the edifce of all learning
and education. There was one thing /
was struck with In particular-the GOOD
spelling. l never saw pupils better
drilled In the spelling book. The
speeches and dialogues were well and
crcditably delivered. In fact every
thing evinccd study, and care, and pro
iiciency. What a blessing to any COM

christian woman, to train the mind,
and mould the character Of the youth.

BASE BALL.
The Fayetteville /" Hornets .
Cleans up Pulaski.

A large cOncoWrse of ladies and gem
tlemen went out to the meadow in front
of Col. Roses residence last Saturday
evening to witness the match game of
base ball between the Hornets of Fay
etteYille and the Rhubarbs of Pulaski.
The Hornets started off at the bat,
making twelve or fifteen the first in
ming. The Champion Gums finally
get in and scored two. This disparity
was kept up until the seventh inning,
when the AllOes threw up the sponge.
The score stood: Hornets, 65; Blue
Pills, 6. The Turpentines had a good
eX cuse for their failure. Some of their
best players were sick and the balance
had gone fishing. The Hornets are
young men of excellent practice and
are all athletes. The Castor Oils will
resume practice, and we may hope that
yet their fame will be enviOus and that
any one will be pround to Oe humble ed
among the brave and gallant Ipecacs

cB-r Those young men from Fayette-
Vile, the members of the HOnet Base
Ball Club, are fine specimens of young
manhood. 1t was impossible to throw
a ball where they could not strike or
TO knock one where they could not
catch it, 1t would put professionals to
the utmost skin to beat them. They
were more practiced than our boys and
Of course beat them. Pulaski cannot
he heaten, however, for her fine and
manly boys. They will make them
selves felt They bore their defeat like
heroes, aud the Hornets were gracefully
fOrbearant in victory.
