substantial addition to his residence
in the way of rooms, halls dc.
Messrs. Williams & Co, of Cul-
eaka are doing the work.
Our next door neighbor, DIR. K,
is souring over his fate, says he's
out o: love, and tells Chancery
Court Braden, that he had better
get that way as soon as possible.
Capt. Andrews boasts a brace of
black and tans which he reports as
sent him by the Viceroy of Egypt,
duty on the dogs $95. This beats
the dog tax for tariff purposes.
Col. Grigsby, whom we met on
the streets this week, is preparing
his recently married son, Mr.. E. n
Grigsby, for comfortable living by
erecting for his benefit, a residence,
a barn &c.
Mr.. J. B. Childers, who has been
on short tramp to the country,
reports crops exceedingly fine up
and down Buchanan's creek. "New
barns won't fill the bill, he says
the fields must be covered in.
AS we write at 1O5 P. NJ, two
young men, in an adjoining room,

of a barrel of brandy having been
found under his bed some months

minus the required stamp.
Mr.. Lucas, you say you have
been off to the springs for your
health? Said the Bradshaw Esquire
Kersey. mo sir, have been on
Tennessee river" What! down
there among the gray lizards!
Seems to me that was a slim place
for man to go for his health.
Esquire Kersey is a good hum
ored man and enjoys joke. Our
yOung friend ]. K. Clark, fell a
victim to his broad sword a few
mornings since. We cannot repro
duce the scene here and now.
Kind readers, Mr.. c., is a sens tive
man and we spare him.
Mr.. Andy Crow says that he is
placed in an awkward predicament
in regard to that marvellous stalk of
corn. He has been to the CITIZEN
office, and wonderful to tell, has
actually caught d. K. Cox in a
truth at last. The stalk has the
reported number of ears.
Rev. Dinwiddie was greatly
pleased with the good people of
Florence, as well he might be, after
such feastful seasons as he enioyed
in their midst.
Well, we mean to retaliate,

A Well Grounded Complaint.

There are , lamps on posts in front
Of the Methodist church in Pulaski.
What are they there for? 1t is Of
ten very dark if not dangerous, up
and down those stone steps. VIII
not the official members of that
church look to this matter? Again,
a clever gentleman mentions that
he and his vile found some difficult
ty in making their way up the steps
and into the door, by reason OF
thronging crowds of boys, both lit
tie and large, who take their stand
there to eye the young ladies as
they pass. He thinks that it is only
the ugly featured boys that post
themselves there. and if the lamps
were lighted, it would reveal a hard
looking crew. This gentleman is
not a grumbler nor a croaker, but
one of our first citizens in every re-
spect.
We dislike to have to allude to
our Pulaski boys in matters invol
wing improprieties of department,
and even now, we are unwilling tC
think of it as other than piece of
boyish thoughtlessness. Yet the
small boys and young men, whoever
they may be, will, we feel sure, up
on reflection, not be found blockln Q
up the passway to the church door

Important to Medical Students.

The Trustees of the Louisville
Medical College louisville, KY
have. in accordance with the provis-
ions Of their charter, established a
Beneficiary System, whereby any
young man studying medicine and
being unable to pay for his educa-
Lion, may receive a Beneficiary
Scholarship, which relieves him of
payment of the Professors fees
The public will be pleased to learn
that this well known College has
abolished all fees for its diplomas;
the Faculty being thus wholly I'M
interested pecuniarily in the result
of all examinations for gradution.

Old Pisgah Camp-GrOund.

This place has history. Sixty.
two years ago, the fathers of the
present Pisgah generation, met at
that spot, erected a house of wor-
ship, and since that time, it has
been, prominently the Mount of
ordinances" among the Methodist
people, not only of Giles county,
but of all the region round about.
Here, Logan Douglass, the Nestor
of pioneer preachers in the Tennes-
see Valley, proclaimed the gospel to
the early settler. Here Rev.
Bishop Paine, now the senior
Bishop of the church south, was
converted-Here also the late Alex
ander p. Green, in his own peculior
style, dispensed the word of life.
Here too, John B. McFerrin, who
completes his both year, as her
aid of the cross, on the 9Th Oct,
next preached the glad, tidings to
the people. Few, if any, be the
names that are left of the old
charter members of Pisgah
church. Of the aged ones yet re-
naming, we mention the venerable
Wesly HarweIl, whose membership
at old Pisgah dates hack 90 wears.
There may be others of like long
standing.
Besides the church edifice, there
was a spacious fran work, sheltered
by boards, and fringed, quite
around, by an arbor of brush,
greatly simplifying the space fol
sittings. We are informed that 5000
ladies have been seated at a time
beneath this capaciOus awning OF
boards and brush, to say nothing OF
the vast numbers of others accom-
modated at the same time. There
have encamped here, simultaneously
as many as l25 families, of which
number, was Mr.. SCith NJ. Harwell
who tented for 46 years, consecu-
! lively. And still the sons of these
departed fathers and mothers ID
Israel rise up to catch the falling
mantles of their pious sires. Surely
JahOvah has recorded is name
there and the Coates of He'll may
not prevail against it." Nay, as
decade after decade lapses silently
away, and as Times defacing finger
despOils her crumbling walls, and
carpets her hOary tiles with YER
dant moss, ever do her faithful sons
as did good Nehemiah of old, repair
the Lords house of habitation.
There breathes and burns in the bos-
oms Of her deYQut children, an
hereditary zeal for the house of the
Lord. With worshipful David may
they say: "One thing have 1 de-
sired of the Lord that will l seek
after; that l may dwell in the house
of the Lord forever to behold the
beauty OF the Lord, and inquire in
his temple" Thus they GO from
strength to strength. Every one of
them in Zion appeareth before God.
Happy is the people, that is in
such a case, may we not say, yea,
happy is that people, whose God is
the Lord! Beautiful for situation
in the side of the north is this
tabernacle of the most High. Spa
clous, neat and well preserved, it
crowns a beautiful elevation, holy
hill unto the Lord; and SabbatAly
do the people flow unite it, Hither
also, once a year, do all the tribes
of Pisgah go up to this Mecca, con
secrated to the true God. "If l
forget thee, o, Jerusalem, let my
right hand forget her cunningr'
IF do not remember thee, let my
tongue cleaYe to the roof of my
mouths y "Peace be within thy
walls and prosperity within thy
palaces "They shalt prosper that
! love thee"

RrThe Pnlaski Sabbath School.

ES-The Pulaski Sabbath Schools.
and particularly the female portion
Of them, are indebted to DR.. G. G.
Alternately for that most instructive
lecture on last Sabbath afternoon,
on Queen Esther. Few Scripture
narratives are more thrilling than
the one so forcibly treated by the
Doctor. The sacred story in its in
ception, its plot, its development
and its final denouement, was most
happily cor passed and brought out
by the facile lecturer. His intro
duction, treating his auditors to a
bit Of his experience as an orator,
but whetted their appetites for what
was to follow. We shall be glad
when the Doctor makes his second
appearance.

We have had the pleasure of try
ing samples of the grapes and wine
from Montrose Vineyard near Pu-
laski, and are ready to more than
confirm the account given US by a
friend last week. The grapes are
large, sound and juicy, and the
wine is clear, fresh, and of exquisite
flavor. We hope to see our people
take more interest in the culture of
grape and making Of wine through
out Middle Tennessee. The sue
cess of the Montrose Vineyard
fairly settles the questions of the
adaptability of our soil and climate
TO grape culture, and in this connec-
ton we would advise those who
propose to cultivate grapes to pro
cure their cuttings from Mr.. Au-
gustine, In charge of Montrose
Vineyard, as he keeps them for sale
in any quantity desired.-C0Iuna-

DR.. DuBose, pastor of tue Pres
byterian church at this place.
preached on last Saturday and Sun
day week to DR.. Stoddert's congre-
CATION in Culleoka. The Doctor
has not been so well since his re
turn; perhaps he overworks himself.
He is abundant in laburs, as are all
our Pulaski pastors.

the Methodist congregation in Pu-
laski, returned to his charge on last
Saturday, after an absence of a

which was fruitful of good results.

Joseph c. Moore conducted and
closed a protracted meeting recently
at Forest Grove Church with good
effect Three accessions by pro
fession of faith, and an additional
ingathering by letter, of other val
liable members.
That beautiful voluntary of one of
our choirs on last Sabbath forenoon,
was charmingly rendered. It's sub
DUNG cadences yet linger in the re-
cesses of the soul, redOlent of the
spirit of worship. We congratulate
the choir on the accession of the
new soprano, soft, full and musical,
and voice full of mellifuous song.
The annual meeting at Pisgah
was begun on the 21st by a sermon
from Rev. Willis Brown, subject,
The Omnipresence of God"-ideas
elaborated: Wherever there is space,
there is the er-Present Deity; pres
ent, by general and special provi-
dence--present, in all possible con-
ditiOns of life, in prosperity and ad-
versity, sickness and health, life
and death, yea, Always present.
A good sermon and full of useful
lessons for practical life.

that on next Saturday we are to
have in Pulaski, the Sunday School
Convention, the Quarterly Meeting
