The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1875-04-15
From Bohemian.

Editor Citizen IL noticed in a late
issue OF the citizen, yOu wanted Cor
respondent and an agent at every Post
Office in the county, ! have listened,
waited patiently; but no response came
up from Bohemian. l will merely let
the many readers of your valuable pa
per know where it is, ITS origin and
surroundings. 1t takes its name from
j. /. BOdenhamer; he built a mill here
about, about, l don't know how long
ago. 80 or 70 years ! recon. IL is a
small place not very densely populated,
a good deal smaller than Pulaski and
not as large as Lawrenceburg. There
is one thing remarkable about it, il it is
not as large as Pulaski inside, il has AS
large an outside, as Pulaski or any other
place.
Bohemian is stretched out; Il mean
closed up along the Pulaski and Law
renceburg road, miles from the
former and IL from the latter place, Oh
ChOats creek, one half mile from where
it empties its turbid waters into. " eek
lies creek. Ii has, on the out side, five
churches, one Presbyterian, one Baptist
(hard shell), one Christian or Campbell
tie, one cold Northern Methodist and
one hot Southern Methodist, church.
Pastors, Revs. Tyler, Spivie, DsrrybeT-
ry, b. I. jackson and no pastor for the
Baptist church, that / know of. You
see there will be no excuse for the sin
ners, around Bohemian, ia the judment
day. Once in a while, traveller will
come up with a sinner; but he looks
care-wOrn and weary, lean and lank,
pale and puny, weak and haggard, he
has been battle whanged, buffed and
cuffed, with the Gospel, by the
different denominations, until he is al
roaranarlar1 rr in elna Tor,
OF the PrOdigal son, viii arise and 90
TO my father. I hope they will all come
to that conclusion and before the next
revival season closes, will be found al
their fathers house, (militant) with the
wedding garment on. An old bachelor
present, says amen too TO the wedding
/ garment, and would like to have "a
/ father-in-law. We have three schools
out side of Bohemian in successful
operation. One Masonic hall, with a
/ pretty good mem bership. One Grange
organization and one Good Templer
society; with a good many members
belonging to each. One dry-gOOd store
and one grocery, several blacksmith
shops and need good wood shop with
and experienced workman to cary il
on. One grist mill and saw mills in
operation.
We have as good farming lands a
there is in middle Tennessee, the soil
is rich and productive and is adapted
to all kinds of grain and grasses; also
some as good cotton land, as any neigh
bOrhOOd, Pulaski and I.awrenceburg
not excepted. Last season was bad
crop year, but we are thankful we made
plenty and some to spare. / would
just say to the readers of the Citizen
who providentially tailed to make good
crops last season, that they would d,
well to eSme into supper Egypt" to ge
at least corn for seed, as there is moth
ing like having good seed of any kinC
to plant. We are having an abundance
OF rain though every fellow is doing
his best between showers, but whel
there are two showers to one day, ant
a night y hours long mixed up with il
there is not much chance TO get on
crops planted soon. More non,
recon that means he will write again
| this slip is not consigned to the asst
basket. L. n.
