Lizzie will make sad havoc among the
young gentlemen of the City OF Rocks.
Last Saturday was the day set apart by
tue citizens Of Tennessee, to meet in
Nashville, to manifest the deep sorrow
occasloned by the death of ex-President
Andrew Johnson. We venture TO assert
mat OF the many thousands on the street
mat day, there were few if any, who did
not think OF that solemn day. when this |
""tstrouS statesman breathed his last, |
ana OF the grave at Greeuville, where the |
Gead patriot mOulders into dust Amid |
disgusting shams, and wornout humbugs, |
the memory OF Andrew johnson looms |
up in moral grandeur as the man who
never deliberately violated his concience,
and IN preserving his integrity OF soul |
was guided by his unerring- moral in |
Stncts, observing the precept,
! 10 thine own sell be true, |
And il must follow, as the day the night.
4hon canst not then be false To any man. |
We may well lament the loss of an
Lonest, tue and pure man. Upon the |
heart that throbbed through life for the |
oppressed, are folded hands, pure and
unStalned rs those OF an Angel. He |
gave his commission back to God, as he
returned his trust to the people, without |
'tain or faint upon the page. Peace |
be to his names, is the patriots prayer. |
We were more than delighted, to meet
at our recent county Fair, that poll shed |
! gentleman, Mr.. William X. Jones, of the |
| Pulaski Citizen. Mr.. Jones is a ready |
and graceful writer gentleman of affs- |
| Die manners and courteous bearing. We |
| predict for him brilliant career in the |
newspaper world. He is a brother of |
| Mr.. n. w. Jones, Of this county, whose /
| b,,, nd hill
and facinates bis hearers and renders |
him one of the most popular of gentle |
| men.
We learn from our worthy young friend
| \. NJ. H., of the Revenue Department,
that there is not in the county of Lewis,
u single grocery, grogshop, or any intoxi |
eating beverage of any kind. This
speaks well for the moral and social life 1
OF old Lewis; but is very hard on the Per-
| petual Peripatetic Society, or the w. W.
VS., which means woman's war on whis-
key.
We suppose that Hannah Gibbs, has
gone to Ohio, as a representative Of Ten
nessee, to help run the outrage will, for
Morton Il Co.. It's to be hoped, that this
national reservoir of wisdom would get
his wits mixed in running that mdSheeR,
as he did his WOOL when he was Boss of
II factory at Lawrenceburg several years
ago. We wonder if the Colonel, will
tell his experience, with that ghostly bo'
| dy, the X. X. X, at the above place,
while in the Buckeye State? We think
he certainly ought to do so, as a matter
OF history and TO relieve the mOnotony OF
his speeches.
There is certain individual in this
country that is constantly engaged in
q CtIn ri ct 4
Mr.. Muddraggers music in Mark
Twain's story, they don't jibe, He had
better drop this bad habit. We give this
suggestion in the way of advice. Our
Savior, on like occasion, told the man
without SIN, TO cast the first stone. We
are not without Sun, not much! nor havet
we any inclination to make ourselves
disagreeable, but we know of whole
bushel basket full of geological specimens,
and We might put them into circulation,
you know!
The Hon. w. c. Whitthorne, who is en-
titled to a scholarship in the Vanderbilt
University, generously gave the position
to our highly esteemed young friend J. w.
Iielmick. Mr.. Helmick left this place |
on Monday last, to commence his course
OF studies in that flourishing institution.
He is young man with more than Ordi-
nary talent; as he has a great field of
science spread out before him, we hopei
his soul will become fired with a zeal,
with an order, and unyielding determine |
ton to reapits reward and share its bless
ings. Let him remember that only stu ,
dents can pluck the flowers, taste the
fruits, or possess the wealth of literary :
elysium; none but the patient, untiring | !
student can ever enjoy them. La
We learn that Prof IIanilton h. 4.
was once citizen of this place, is teach /
ing very large school near Franklin, In
Tenn. He is not only a gentleman of
purity, but possesses a store-house OF O
knowledge diversified and rich talent. 4
He is eminently qualified to fill the po- h
sition he occupies. We wish him great
success in his arduous calling. b
