The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1876-11-09
LYNNVILLE.

The principal interest of the week
just passed has conferred around the
meeting at the Presbyterian Church,
conducted first by Dr. Hoyt, of
Nashville, and then by DIR. DuBose,
of Pulaski. Two young ladies, Miss
Sallie Smith and Miss Sallie Wag
staff, added themselves to the
Church, as did also Mrs. Dora
Brown, wife of DR.. r. Brown, Mrs.
Owen Smith, two young men, and
two heads OF families. One quite
singular thing about the meeting
was that those of the members to
whom we generally look for doing
hard work at such times, were sick
or away, and everybody, old and
young, took hold with a vigOr we
never saw surpassed. The result
was a success, not only in the valu-
able additions which have so glad
dened us all, but in the spirit of in
terest manifested and in the discov
cry which so many have made, that
they can work proftably in the
vineyard. One of the pleasant
things was the union of Christians
of all names at the meetings. 'Be-
hold how goodly a thing it is for
brethren to dwell at unity"
On Saturday there was a meeting
of the Stewards of the Lynnville
district TO make arrangements for
the residence of Mr.. Weakly, the
minister on circuit. We are able
conscientiously and heartily, to con
graduate his churches in securing
/ the ministrations of a preacher sc
able and a gentleman so high toned
while members of other Churches
can rejoice in knowing he is a cath
Ollie hearted man who will co ope
rate in every good work. He is fol
the present at Lynnville.
On Thursday near Aspen Hill
Mr.. Weakly married Mr.. John Al
len, a promising young lawyer OIL
Lawrenceburg, to Miss Ellen Wilk
inson, daughter of Mrs. Lucind,
Wilkinson. Mr.. John Allen is sol
of Mr.. Allen who lived several years
near this place on what is known al
the "Horn farm" After long prep
aration for the law, he commenced
the practice in Wayne, and later il
Lawrenceburg, and bids fair to BE ;
a successful man. Hardened ole
bachelor as we are, We could no
but be drawn in heart to the swee
and winning girl with whom we haC
brief interview an hour or so be
fore the ceremony. We are sorry
for everybody who maTries, and be
lieve that the poor deluded crea
lures have so little sense Of thei
true condition that they are SORT
for US. We can only say in this
case that if sterling integrity anC
energy on one side and winning
worth on the other can make hap
py union. this will be one.

as descriptive of moral status, bu
as Indicating the state Of mind to
