Personal.
Deferred from last week.

Handsome Capt. Jackson oi
Nashville, was here last week stop
ping with his kinsman Mai. Orr.
Mr.. Jackson snapped % bronze
turkeys for a saddle horse. Some
body's poultry-yard is depopuiated.
We are glad to learn that Mr..
Tom. Westmoreland, long confined
to his bed at j. P. Mays is reported
better
Mrs. H. @. Bate of Lawrenceburg.
and Miss Pattie Parker, of Athens,
arc stopping at the cozy cottage of
their kinsman, Judge Tinnon.
Mr.. Charles Sowell of Maury and
son of Rev. Joseph NJ. Sowell of
Lawrence. is visiting his brother in
law, Mr.. P. Marks of our county.
Tommy Jones now stands behind
the counters of j. r. c. Brown.
"where he would be pleased to see
his former customers"
Mr.. G. NJ. Jackson, of the firm
of Phillips, jackson & Co., spent
several days with his brother in
law. Maj. Orr, his wife accompany
ing him.
Miss Ida, daughter of Col. Grigs-
by of Elkton, and Miss Jennie Cope
land, were in town on the 25th, ult.
Mr..J. B. smiled and smiled OH men
tioning this.
Our tOwnsman, Thos. Williamson,
is about completing a new tullding
on lot adjacent to his dwellings,
containing seven rooms, beside halls,
pOrches, &c.
Fount Smithson went to the
Greenback Convention at Detroit,
and spent his time and money for
nothing-they published his name
wrong in the papers.
Miss Della Clark. daughter OF
our esteemed friend, DIR. 2. B. Clark.
left last week for Scottsville, KY,
where she mas already made an en-
viable reputation as teacher.
Miss Susie, daughter of Mrs.
John Brandon, some miles west
of this place. and the cynosure of
many admiring eyes, was stopping
recently, with the family of Mai.
Sam. Orr.
Col. John Ballentine and daugh-
ter, Miss Sallie, left for Nashville
on Wednesday, the 25th, to he alb
sent some weeks. We shall miss
the jOvial Col. from our streets, and
his lovely daughter from the Sab
bath school.
Our young friend P. Taylor,
merchant of this place, is ominously
reported of hereabout. There are
suppressed whisperings of mat
rimony. 1t is thought he will ''per-
petrate" and that ere long; likely, as
he has new house, and a bran new
suit.
The good looking Voss and his
Sunday clothes were seen moving
along the other evening to see, as
he said with emphasis, ''the pretti-
est girl in Giles county" A reward
Of So is offered to know where Tav-
lor Voss went on Wednesday night,
August 25, 1875.
Atlas Reeves, typo of the olden
times and golden, but now a staid
gray bearded farmer of the Elkton
country, hOnOred us last Saturday.
The improvements in the typo
graphic art must be wonderful to
an old man who has been out of the
business for quarter of century
or so.
DR.. Jake Rodomer, of Gallatin,
an old friend and an indefahga-
BILE grader and builder of railroads,
was in town last week, looking af-
ter slice of the Memphis d Knox
vile. He interviewed Gen. Brown,
and would be pleased to grade and
tie some 20 or forty miles Of the
road. He scented the prey from
afar and will seize it if possible.
Our genial friend, w. J. Ridge
way, OF Elkton, and his handsome
little son, Raymond, were in to see
us last Saturday: Master Raymond
brought a pet coon and presented
it to "Old Coon Corner" and went
home with a nice new hat. By the
way, Ridge, it seems to us that
the empty sleeve you carry would
keep the memory of Raymond ever
present with you, and if that failed
to keep it green, the rib you cap
tured there a00uLd.
Capt. John S. Wilkes, of Giles
National Bank, proposes to himself
a brief respite from business, and
for purposes of general recuperation,
will tabernacle awhile with mine
host Of Hurricane Springs. Having
borne the heat and burden of the
day behind busy bank counters,
during Maj. Ewing's pleasant stay
at Elkmont, the Captain, not to De
outdone in chivalrons bearing, now
extends the like courtesies to the
gallant Major. We admire these
mutual amenities between gentle
men.
Our young grocery merchant,
Mr.. Inman, Of 1st Main, was seen
walking away from Meredith's the
other day, with a sample of that
same fancy note paper. On the
same evening he was seen undergo
ing a complete tOnsOrial manipula-
tion at Joe's. And now, dear read
er, if you know as much about
this young mans favorite resort
as we do, you could locate him "to
a dot" Don't be alarmed, we
won't tell it-so we won't.
We notice the name of Noble
Smithson, Esq, of Pulaski, Tenn,
set down as one Of the Vice Presi.
dents OF the late Green back Con
vention at Detroit Although our
talented fellow was not
present on the occasion, we doubt
not he is in sympathy with the
spirit Of the convention-thati is.
he is foF ihoFe naneY, We take
occasion here and now, to guard
Olive Logan and all Long Branch
ers against the misapprehension of
identifying Mr.. S. with the "man
from Pulaski" who perpetrated the
joke on those topper tens"
Doubtless Mr.. Smithson's physical
makeup, his supple Joints and
ithsOynp limbs would ,,ra On, ;.,,,.f l.
