The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1876-12-28
PARKER'S STORE.


I The excitement caused by the
presidential election has about sub
sided in this neighborhood, and the
people are hopeful that the matter
win be settled and justice done
without recourse to arms. Had it
been left to a popular vote the fu-
neral dirge of the Radical party
would have been sung. and the car
| pet paggers Of the South would have
packed their goods and stole away.
The Pulaski CITIZEN has been a
welcome visitor of late. With an
eager eye its pages are scanned to
catch the latest news. We hope
that this presidential problem will
be solved and relieve our minds of
political thoughts for a while at
least.
The spirit of Improvement con
tinues to manifest itself il this COM
munity. Mr.. j. E. Puryear has
lately weatherboarded his Office and
he contemplates having it painted
soon, whieh will improve the APP
pearance of his place considerably
He has also completed one of the
best barns In this community, and
has lightning rods attached which
adds a new feature to the modern
improvements of this neighborhood
Mr.. VIII Chapman has contracted
with the carpenters for some addi-
tions to his dwelling, which will add
q great deal to his convenience.
Nh. J. NJ. Parker is improving his
farm by building COW sheds and
substituting plank for rail fences,
adding a great deal to the appear
ance of our town. Miss Fannie
Parker of this place has opened a
school at Hebron with good indica
tions for a large attendance. She
Is every way calculated to teach the
young idea how to develop ITSELF
and we wish her much success in
this her new vocation. May she
win many golden opinions, thereby
securing a good patronage.
Miss Jennie johnson, of Rivers
Station, is spending few days with
her relatives here.
Some Of our boys done up Wales
Station in good style last Saturday.
AS it was a very cold day it was no
harm to test Yarbrough's ginger
brandy, you know. BY the way,
Wales looks very much like a little
city now, with three business houses
in full blast. One dry goods house
run by J. S. Williamson, one family
grocery and one drinking saloon,
controlled by Lucius Yarbrough, all
seem to be driving a good business.
DR.. j. H. Rogers is also located
there, with fair prospect to work
into a good practice. May success
crown h:s efforts.
1t is not every horse that does
not scare at 9 steam locomotive that
can stand music, and for a better
security against walking home at
night, I would suggest that the
young gentleman from Petersburg
should put chain around his
horses neck OF have him put in the
stable for safe keeping. Our young
people are contemplating a good
deal of pleasure during the Christ
mas holidays. Ali are expecting
treats rich and rare, and arrange
ments for social gatherings are be-
ing made.
Mr.. S. E Owen of Hardin county
is visiting relatives in this section
now. He is making his arrange
ments to be off to Texas after
Christmas. It is highly probable
that one of our fairest young ladies
will be transported to an adjoining
neighborhood in a short time, if
am any judge.
Owing to the extreme cold wealth
er that we have had lately our farm
ers are not all done sowing wheat
yet, and to all appearance there will
be more sown this year than any
ever before, and if it does well we
will have plenty Of biscuits next
year. Wheat was a source of profit
to our farmers this year, and hope
it viii next. KULLY.
