The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1875-09-02
TOWN AND COUNTY.
Deferred from last week. )

Messrs. William and Isaac Rainev
are progressing with their brick
block.
Esquire Sam Williamson, a good
farmer and a thrifty man, is build
ing a new gin and cotton press.
Rev. J. NJ. Ashford held a two
days meeting at Fiducia, near Asp
en- Hill, last Saturday and Sunday.
Capt. F not only filled up the no
table quagmire, mentioned in our
last, but has also built about mile
of graded and graveled road.
Our clever young friend, Mr.. B.
F. GOOdrum, Railroad man at Wales,
reports 12,5O0 bushels of wheat
shipped from that point up to the
18th inst.
Connundrum by Rufe Reynolds:
"Gil, why is melon like a womany'
81 don't know Rufe." "Because it
has a sweet heart" Patented, if
you please.
Mr.. Alonzo Peden informs US
that the few hogs found on Hav-
woods Creek are suecumbing to the
cholera. NJ. Sol. Simmons and Mr..
Elisha Davidson have lost all of
theirs.
DR.. K. passing Mr.. Fogg's last
week, encountered so many grass
hoppers, that he had to raise his
umbrella to protect his face. They
seemed to leave the green corn and
''gO for" the Doctor.
That young man (oficer) who
rode 8 miles the other day to serve
legal process on some delinquent,
and who, forgetting what he went
for, returned home as he went,
must have had counting on the
brain.
Rev. J. NJ Sowell, of Lawrence,
facetiOus specimen of the white
cravat gentry, once said in "little
talk" at Trinity Church, in this
county, that Giles thought that Law
renee was made for her to come out
and turn round on-a sort of turn
row, we suppose he meant.
If Irvine and Ballentine don't
sell lots of good at "OId Coon Cor
ner" it will not be for the want of
pluck, capital, experience or good
looking and accommodating clerks,
such as Chap Nelson, Milt. Carter
and MIR. Trudeaw. And then Sam
DunneYant is to return too, we
believe.
A certain gentleman of Giles sold
out some time since to go to Colo
ladO. Giving up his purpose, he
bought another farm which he has
dubbed New Colorado. He fur
nishes US the following statistics of
New Colorado: It's dimensions are
l4x l mile; population, 115 souls.
. of whom are cOlOred (souls?; 81
sheep and 43 dogs, just 2 sheep to
each dog and one to spare.
Maj Sam Orr should keep an
usher posted at his front gate of
Sunday nights; or else take down
the clothes lines one. To be sure
the walk is amply wide, for a load
ed buggy, but then some young men
can neither see straight nor walk
straight. Last Sunday night wit
messed terrible tangle, we are told, |
of Jason's neck and those same !
ropes. But he made it and saw the
young lady.
Our enterprising young friends
north of town brought away from
the sale at EwelPs Station, two
bloOded beasts. Frank G.. Buford, |
Chieftain filly, 2 years old $3.50; R. |
G. Reynolds, Maury Maid, $175. In |
this connection we mention that
these young men are preparing to
open up some sort of speed ring. |
We heard them talking some race
horse talk, and something about |
plowing and narrowing a track. We |
don't know whether a regular race |
course is In contemplation or not. |
We commend these two young men
to the strict pastoral care of DIR. |
DuBQse, We have done our duty. |
Mr.. Sterling Abernathy's farm of
475 acres, has an orchard of over |
300 apple trees, and some 90 acres |
of peach trees. He brings the water
from his spring, 1 of a mile away, |
into his yard by means of iron |
piping, delivering it by a spout into
the water vessels, over a sunken
barrel, from which the surplus pass
es of to the horse lot, by conduit |
of wood. In case of obstruction in |
the pipe, from the gravel or sedi-
ment, by plying a force pump at the
lower end, the gravel is readily |
elected at the spring. The pipe is
three feet below the surface, last |
20 years, and cost $500.
A wel-sung solo is north $40. !
A young merchant some eight miles 1
north of this place, being at Olivet /
church lately, and hearing the witch
ing strains of beautiful Pulaski
cantatrice trilling out the soft notes
OF favorite song, and being i'm
pressed with the meillfluous camden
ces, manifested his appreciation of
that same by votive offering to the
sweet singer, of the said sum above /
mentioned, on condition of its be-
ing repeated ''in his hearing" OIL
course it was rendered and in fine /
style. And now the twenty dollar
bill finds safe deposit in the night /
engale's pOrtemOnnaie, while the ex-
chequer of the young admirer is de-
pleted to this amount He was
done up Brown" in the little trans (
action. We chronicle with pleasure
his undying love of the vocal art.
