We can inform Brother Jones, of
the Pulaski CITIZEN, that if the
other distinguished sons of old
Giles, who were here a few Sundays
ago, had been at Sunday-school,
where Capt. Lester was, they would
have seen us. Lester and we have
a fine record in that line. All good
boys go to Sunday-schooL
The above from Bullock, of the
Review, would be fine for his client
if he had not published in his pre-
vious issue that ''the man from Pu-
laski" was in Franklin onthe aUOaO-
ed purpose to court" somebody.
But may be it is not inconsistent,
even with men of fine record in
that line to court land school at
the same time and place-after the
lessons are said.

1t is the first time in the History
of medicine that a calculus was
ever taken from the bowels. 1t

to an operation, until at last she put

We note the return OF Col. John
Ballentine to his home and friends
after a protrscted absence. he has
been sojourning sat Nashville, Lou
isville and elsewhere. We are not
advised whether he was with Moody
and Sankey or Messrso Whittle and
Bliss, during his long stay. We
take the liberty Of commencing to
his seniorl councils his brother
VIM, whose doings were reported
in last weeks CITIZEN. and who, on
HIS late return from n. Y, behaved
after such q fashion as to call forth
the christian regrets of . travelling
acquaintance that said William
had not grown up at least religious
ly incEined. We think he needs
attention.

We were treated to a most enjoy
able entertainment at the suburban
residence of Hon. John n. Bright
while in Fayetteville. This gentle
man is not only felt in the councils
of State, but is what we can say Of
few Of our great men Of the world,
a power for good in the church.
He bears about with him his relig-
ious principles-worships the God
Of his fathers at the domestic altar,
and serves as a true levite in the
courts of the Lords house. He
looks to the temporalities as well
as the higher services of the sane
tuary. How rare and refreshing
the example of this Presbyterian
layman.
We found in the person of Mrs.
B. the school-mate and class mate
of Mrs. j. at the Columbia Institute
in the years gone by. Mrs. Bright
is the daughter of Mr.. Antony
Buckner, deceased, of Mt. Pleasant,
Maury county, who for a long and
useful lifetime, was banker and
merchant to the best population OF
that wealthy community. In his
day, and within our memory, he
was the head and front of the com
mercial prosperity and enterprise OF
all that fair region. He still lives
in his son, B. Buckner, of the firm
of Gardner, Buckner & Co., Nash
vile. The thrift, financial integri-
ty and intelligent business tact ol
the father is repeated in the son.
We met at Gen. Bright's q group
of lovely daughters, all polished af
ter the similitude of palace. Also
the beautiful Misses Moore, from
Winchester, Ky.-blue grass girls
who always command a premium
| Our young friend Jones had already
found this cage of comely birds
and he went and went and went
By the way he bestowed his atten
tions very promiscuously, but al
ways with singular good taste, anC
with wonderful alternity and periO
dicity. He and we chanced to at
tend the same churches at four diff
ferent hours on Sabbath, and eacl
time he was in charge of diferen
young lady. We wonder that the.
did not meet and compare notes
They will, now that he has left.

Last Tuesday night week was
full of moonshine, and the air was
crisp and cool, just right for q feet
foot-race. Away they went from
Jason's door around the courthouse
yard, Harry Bassett, Lexington and
Longfellow, single dash. Leede
led by five full lengths, next came
the jolly Buford, hard pressed by
the bay young Sumner. The Maj g
stentorian voice told too plainly
that fun was abroad somewhere.

It is admitted on all hands that
the "Devil was on top" inIast week 5
CITIZEN. That he not only "fGUOr.
ed abolition" and a reversal of
things in general, but that he actu-
ally put his schemes into practical
execution. He abolished the Die
tionary especially. the Devil did, as
the reader doubtless noted, and "eut
up Jack" extensively. We beg
leave, therefore to modestly but
very positively dissent fron the
DEVILS elaborate pronunciamento
and declaration of principles, and
leave him to fight his own way out
of "his sea of troubles" as best he
may.

The following from the Review
and Journal is good advice in any
latitude:
The young men who prance about
the doors of churches and annoy
everybody by pulling the stubs on
their chins and popping the doors
open and peeping in, are respect
fully informed that the public mind
is somewhat disgusted with these
proceedings. Walk into church,
like men, and hear something that
will do you good.

We see from the proceedings of
the late Methodist Conference at
Fayetteville that in response to q

to a position in the same.

The event of the past week was
the marriage of our good friend
Will S. Ezell, to the beautiful and
we may well add, accomplished
Miss Ada Foust, at the residence
Of her parents, at 5P. n. Oct. 14th,
Rev. DR.. DuBose officiating. Some
score or more of friends witnessed
the beautiful ceremony, so impress
ingly performed by the Rev. cele-
brant; and as he reached the close
of the same, and pronounced the
blessings of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost, upon
the welded pair, the hearty beni-
sons of all that sympthizing guest
chamber fell in copious measure up
on the two, now "no more twain,

These facts show conclusively
that counties devoted to raising cot
ton to the exclusion of corn, wheat,
the grasses and live stock, are not
the most prosperous. Innumerable
examples might be given sustaining
this position. Grain and stock
counties are the most inviting and
agreeable, and therefore they have
larger proportion of landowners
and more small farms, and this gives
value to land and makes it salable.
But again, the cotton is more ex-
haustive of the productive elements
of the soil than is grain, and then
the peculiar manner of culture
leaves the land more liable to wash
and waste.
As we have CHANGED to pass here
and there through Giles county,
and witness the wearing effects Of
the floods, and the Wholesale sweep
ing away Of the soil, the conviction
has been forced upon US that unless
there is a change in the mode Of
culture and of the staples produced,
the time is not far distant when our
bald hll-sides and impoverished
lands viii utterly refuse, from sheer
sterility, to produce a suficiency 70
nourish the occupants. How strange
the policy that viii allow the landed
proprietors OF Giles to tax to utter
exhaustion their once fat fields, by
the culture, year after year. Of cot
ton, cotton, cotton. This reckless
| disregard of the future, this improv-
ident wastefalness of the very cub
stance Of the soil, is most prejudi

ne Faiue OF IarmS In EaYette cOun-
ty is $3,901, 100, and in Gibson
county, $4,89O,57G. Here the coun-
ty producing the most cotton and
the least corn, wheat and live stock,
has a million dollars less in the
value of farms. The average value
of land in Fayette county is SO 10

$13 IA per acre. The people of
Fayette county, I understand, have
this year increased greatly their
wheat and corn crops, and if they
continue this course, their land will
soon rapidly increase in price, and
the demand for it will become
greater, as this is naturally one of
the best counties in West Tennes-
