CORNERSVILLE.
A MAY DAY RALLY.

The picnic that was given by
the pupils and patrons of COrnersville
male and female Institute to comment
crate the first day of May, and to ell
throne the choice of the school Queen
was postponed until the fourth, on ac-
count of inclement weather.
Though the morning offered no induce
ment for such an occasion, the school
assembled at the institute to begin their
Joyous May day. At Dam. forming in
procession, with a white flag in front
and large crowd of people i'm the rear,
marched in good order to the beautiful
grove which surrounds the new resi-
dence OF Mr.. j. w. Nance. Having
assembled in front of the richly Orna-
mented throne, erected beneath the
branching bowers of a large beech, af-
ter the very interesting introductory
exercises, Miss Lullie Burgess received
her crown from the hands of the 'iairy
Queen" Miss Zana McCIelland, assisted
by her lovely train of nymphs, with
much grace and beauty. After the in
teresting scene of the coronation, Mr..
Ernest Pillow, medalist of Cum berland
University, was called to the rOstrum,
and for thirty minutes the large audi
ence was highly entertained by his elo-
quence and OratOry, which is rarely
surpassed in the present age. The sub
lime scene, and everything connected
with it, can better be imagined than
expressed. 1t adds much to the credit
of Capt. w. r. Garrett principal of the
SCHOOL, and Miss Bette Burgess "a
teacher,) who had displayed much skill
in making all arrangements.
At l p, NJ. the school and intelligent
assembly were invited to another part
of the lovely grove to enjoy a sumtu-
Gus table richly supplied with dressed
turkeys, boiled hams, nice fresh meats
of every description, all kinds OF cakes,
custards, pies and many delicacies.
The afternoon was pleasantly spent
in social conversation by the aged and
middle aged, while the children We're
hugely enjoying all the sports of hap
Ply childhood. At 4 p. NJ. the school
was again marshaled into ranks by the
command of Capt. @. and conducted
to the Institute where it was disbanded
in good order. Everybody present of
all ages, classes, seXs and sizes seemed
to enjoy the day and bore the epitaph
upon their cOuntenances that the MAY
day was joyOnsly and prOftably spent,

Mr.. EditOr:-The writer, by invita-
ton, had the pleasure on Saturday last
of witnessing the installation of officers
of the Pulaski Grange. But few visi-
tors were present, on account of some
oversight in no notice being placed in
the CITIZEN. This is to be regretted,
for could there have been present
larger number of those who have not
learned the secret words by which the
"gates" are opened much Of the preju-
dice and miscOnceptiOn that prevails in
regard to the purposes and work of this
order would have been corrected.
The installation ceremonies were of a
grave, serious, and impressive charac-
ter. They were particularly striking
in the elegance, beauty and simplicity
of the words selected to convey to the
officers elect knowledge of the duties
assumed. Mr.. J. X. z. Blackburn, who
Ofiiciated as installing officer, showed
that he is Il practical Granger by not
consuming time in a lengthy introduc-
tory speech, but chose rather to use the
SententiOus language of the ritual in ex-
planning the nature of the organization.
DIR. Harwell, the new Master, closed the
exercises with a short speech, in which
he praised the Knights of Pythias
Friends of Temperance, and Good Tenn
plars, all of whom meet in the hall in
which the Grange holds its meetings,
the visitors, the gentlemen, the ladies,
of course, and in fact all the world eX-
cept himself. The ladies who honOred
the Lodge by accepting official positions
received their CONFERENCE.-The and en-
| blems of Office-with modest appTecia-
ton of the fact that this order is one of
/ the few that admits that woman is mans
equal, and can keep a secret otherwise
! than in perpetual motion. The installa-
/ ton was pleasing entertainment, and
it is hoped, when the time comes again,
more outsiders will witness, to admire,
| the public ceremonies of the order.

From the Lynnville Correspondent.
To a Very Little -Dutchman.
There was a little man, and he had little
soul,
And he said, little soul, let us try, try, try
To see if we can &C it, and become little
poet,
just between little you and I, IL.
So he took his little pen, to write to T. l. n ,
And then he felt within him, such a pang
pang, pang,
With Il growing and a grumbling, and a
guping and rumbliDg,
That in the best of Dutch he sang, sang,
sang.
For the little fellows ma, forgettuI of her
dear,
Had eaten quite abundantly ofcrout, circuit,
cIout;
And he thought that T. L. N, was just a,
he was then,
Whose mother didn't know he was out

And when this little man, in the Citizen
again,
Shall set himself to write and to sing once
more,
With his fun and his froIIc, and his drop.

We are sure he'n be better than before

The Picnic.

The picnic given by the Sunday
schools of Pulaski at the McKimmin
grove last Friday was attended by Il
large number of our people. Enjoy
ment ran high throughout the day, and
the large cOncOurse of people were en-
tertained with music by the Sunday
schools and with addresses by Messrs.
Ewing, Alternately and Newell, we
did the best we could, and if it was a
failure, we are cOnsOled to know that
we do know it as well as any body else.
Dinner was served at y O'Clock, and it
was the best picnic dinner we ever at
tackled, and there was lett remaining,
after all were fed and were full, enough
to feed at least a thousand persons. In
the afternoon the two base ball clubs
of Pulaski played a match game for a
silver cup, in the meadow opposite Col.
Rose S residence, which was witnessed
by large number of ladies and gentle
men. The Red Brooches, Capt. George
Bridges, won the cup, and it was pre-
scented by 7 Jacob Tarpley, Esq, in a
neat, appropriate manner, to Mr.. Nelson
Chapman, he having made the best
score at the bat. Mr.. Taliaferro re-
sponded for Mr.. Chapman. The day
was beautiful and was well spent.

NEAR ASH GAP.

l see several communication in your
paper giving a sketch of old Citizens of
Tennessee, SO L have concluded to send
one.
Uncle James Orr was born in David
son county, Tennessee, several miles
from Nashville, in the year 1897, moved
from there to Sumner county in 1905,
moved to Williamson county and was
married in 1909 to Elizabeth Lawrence,
in 1871 moved to Maury county. (nOw
known as Marshall county,) in 1914
he settled on the farm on which he
still resides, near MoOresville, Mar
shall county, Tenn. He cleared the
cane away to get room to build.
He raised a family of seven children,
two daughters and five SONS. All are
still living. One daughter is in Missouri,
the other in Mississippi, two sons in Giles
county, Tenn, and three in Marshall
county. He has 56 grand children, 4S
living and dead; SO great grand chill
dren, Il living, y dead; , great-great
grand children, both living. Total
number of children, grand children,
great grand children, great-great grand
children, l4S, and to count their hUs-
bands and wives, there would be ISL.
Uncle Jimmy is i'll his SSth year, and 5
stout for one of his age, cuts his wood
and makes his own fires. He rides on
a horse to LewisbuTg, a distance of ten
miles, and back the same day, and reads

For the Citizen,
What Id Lie for

or the Citizen,
What I'd Live for.
I'd live for one who loves me,
For one I know 10 be true;
Fer the smiling heaven above me,
Awaiting my spirit too;
For friendships ties that bind me,
For the work God has assigned me.
For the lightened hearts l may leave be-
hind me,
And the good that l can do.
I'd live to learn the story,
Of those who've suffered for my sake
To emulate the glory,
And follow in the wake
OF patriots, martyrs. bards and sages,
The good and noble of all ages,
Whose acts fill history's pages,
And times great volume make.
I'd live to welcome that joyous season,
That has for ages been foretold;
When men shall judge by reason,
And not alone by gold;
When man to man united,
With every wrong thing righted,
When the whole world shall be united
With love- as eden was of old
I'd live to hold communion,
With all that is divine,
To feel there Is a union,
'TwiXt natures heart and mine;
To profit by ''sorrow" and affection,
Learn truth from works of fiction,
Become wiser through conviction,
Fulfilling every noble design.
I'd live for one who loves me,
For one who knows me true,
For the smiling heaven above me,
Awaiting our spirits too;
For the wrongs that need resistance,
For the cause that lacks assistance,
For that "moI row'' in the distance,
And the good that can do.

a. DAvIDsoN's letter republished
elsewhere from tile Union and Ameri-
can, is characteristic of the man who
wrote it-modest and meritorious. We
could not resist the temptation to re-
publish it, Notwithstanding lis compr-
mentary mention of us. Indeed we
rather like that part OF it better than
we are willing to acknowledge, for a
compliment from such a source is a
compliment indeed. But really, its fiat

LYNNVILLE.

The weather has been unfavorable
Tor the crops. We hear of both corn
and cotton which has rOtted in the
ground, and late as it is the farmers are
forced to replant.
The cut wC-ms are worse than usual
and as if we did not have enough
troubles already, the ants are adding
themselves to the list of our Affections
A gentleman resident in neighbOring
county told us he had TO pillow up fifty
acres of corn, mainly on account of the
injury sustained from these.
In various parts of the country we
hear about a very large grasshopper,
which appears to have survived the
cold of last winter. Farmers are puz-
Zled to account for it. As several
points in this county were devastated by
this plague of grasshOppers, alias lOcustS.
last year, many are apprehensive that
calamity from this terrible enemy is in
dictated.
There is every reason to fear that the
scarcity of provisions another year will
be as great as it is now. The farmers
are unable to keep their hogs. 1t is
not likely that there will be a fourth of
the usual number left for bacon. So
many of the people are in need OF the
necessaries of life that the disappear
anu VI NAAC cN AllC 10 easily dCCOuutCu
for. Almost any one will steal when he
is hungry.
1t is better to face the fact that there
IS terrible amount of restitution and
suffering around us, and that worse will
come if the seasons do not change We
would renew suggestion already Of
tered, that the churches make this mat
ter of fruitful seasons a subject of
especial prayer. 1t may be cOnsOling to
some to hear that fOrty-three years ago
about the 18th of May, there was such
cold spell that every leaf on the trees
and all vegetation was killed.
Some of the young gentlemen about
Iynnville have come near mobbing us
because we have been charging them
with matrimonial intentions. We
cheerfully retract our injurious state
ments, apologize for our mistake, and
discharge the painful duty of inform
ing the ladies generally that till these
hardtimes are over, they must, as far as
this town is concerned, paddle their
own canoe. Il. MI
