LYNNVILLE.
srR. FRY's PLANTATION.

meSSfS. Albert buIOru, Dave key
nolds, and Newton White have been
in the neighborhood most of the
week. These men were appointed
commissioners to divide off the
plantation of Mr.. Mart. Fry, and in
connection with Mr.. A. A. DECKER
son, who represented Mr.. F., have
reduced the plantation to such a
mince meat condition as viii enable
those who have but limited powers
territorial deglutition to purchase.
All of the points of interest to the
public will soon be advertised in the
CITIZEN. 1t is enough at present
to state that the Knox place, about
three miles distant from this, has
been divided into two parts, nearly
100 acres each. The Gordon land
into four, each about so acres, and
the main. tract of 500 acres into (8)
eight. All of these divisions have
water; most of them wood and eli
gible building sites, and some are
highly improved. The sale takes
place in three or four months, and
offers an unusual inducement Is
those who wish small farms Of rich
land in a healthy country.
BASE BALL ON SATURDAY.
Our town poet perpetrated the
following He is supposed to have
persisted in the attempt:
Pulaski sent her second nine
To meet the Lynnville Red,
OfthOse the lord was Ballentine,
And these Joe Fleming led.
Full many lad and Iassie came,
To see the champions play;
They still prolonged the Spartan game
Till nigh the close of day.
Yet neither side claimed victory,
Until the play was done,
And then the Reds had twenty-three,
The Stars had twenty-one.
Our whole community felt com
plimented by the visit of the Stars,
who are as fine looking and gentle
manly a set as can be found in a
summers day. The Lynnville club
entertained the Stars at the hotel.
If Mr.. Montgomery did not give g
good dinner it was about the first
time such a thing ever happened at
that house, where the table is al
ways excellent. The Stars were
under splendid discipline, and un
derstood the game far better than
the Red Bands. They were defeat
ed because it was largely a contest
between boys on one side and young
men on the other, and because of
the extraordinary skill of Mr.. Joe
Fleming. The crowd of lockers on,
or many of them, were hospitable
enough in the beginning to wish
the Stars to conquer. But the
thoughtless and unfortunate APP
plauding and hurrahing of some of
their friends made u complete revo
luton. It was harmless, a mere
effervescence ofexcitementa and spir-
its, but it presently caused cores
ponding action on our side, and
married much of the good feeling.
Wish the close of the game, how
ever, it all passed away. During
the process of the game we could
but admire the grace, the skill, the
almost Spartan power of endurance
of the players on both sides. After
the close we could but regret to see
so many Of them walking about
with cigars. With such powers OF
self denial, surely they ought not to
yield to the great curse of our civ
ilization, which is tobacco. We
must not close without abiding tC
the universal satisfaction which was
given by Mr.. Il. H. Lasseter as UNI
pire.
PERSONALITIES
Mr.. Charles Buford, Commits
siopeF to the G. P. General Assem-
| bly, at Bowling Green, KY, has re-
turned after an absence of two
weeks. Hinton Frierson, John Yam
cey and Jimmie Rivers, who were
all the pupils in the one educationa
establishment in the corporation
have gone home. AS these young
gentlemen have latterly been fire
quently observed hunting frogs VI
and down the creek, there have beer
some unworthy surmises about the
bill of fare at their boarding place
But they claim that fried frog legs
are not to be surpassed. OF the
1876 candidates for the various of
fees which the county has already
in the field, this community sup
plies one for sheriff, one for trustee
and several for the position of mag
lstrate and constable. Mrs. Court
ney White spent several days of tn,
past week with her relatives in thi
place. We feel truly sorry 70
Maxima, with her baby and tooth
ache and husband and all. In con
nection with babies we often thinl
of a sweet little girl who had be
come very tired of nursing her in
FAINT brother, and asked her ma j
the baby died would it go to Heav
en-. Being told yes, she reptile,
she thought Heaven was a grea
deal the best place for it.
