CITIZEN.
LYNNVILLE.

LYNNVILLE.
Mr.. Charles Buford has been alb
sent during the past week purchas-
ing goods for ar. Lindsay. Mr.. B.
has been with US for a year, and has
proved himself to be a thorough
business man and heightened gen
tleman. He leads an amphibious
kind of a life, spending his Sab
baths in Pulaski, where he is SUPER
intendent of the S. S. in the G. P.
Church, and his six days of labor
in this town. Judging from APP
pearances our merchants generally
are doing a safe business, although
it is at present limited. As we sta
ted in our last, ''hen-eggs'' have been
our principal medium of exchange
for sometime. We notice an effort
to debase this currency by the sub
stitution of "duck-eggs" at par val
ne. This attempt Of the imitation
lists we hope will prove unsuccessful.
MEDICAL.
DIR. Henry McLaurine, son of
Squire McLaurine, of old Lynnville,
who has just graduated at Nash
vile, has, after Surveying the pros.
poets concluded to settle at old
Lynnville. He is a young man of
studious habits and excellent ca
pacity. He has been long prepar-
ing himself for the practice of medi-
cine and now settles at a point
where the land for nearly three
miles north and three miles south
is owned by his grandfather's de-
scendants.
THE ExILE's RETURN.
Among the later arrivals to our
town is Mr.. John Lee, son of the
minister of the same name who
lived OH Bradshaw. Mr.. Lee spent
some time in Colorado to which
country he, like many others, went
to seek his fortune, and where, like
the others, he found he would have
to take his fortune in grass hop
pers. He has come to the conclu-
sion that he will never take any
more grass hoppers or Colorado in
his, and is now studying to prepare
himself for some position in this
State.
Messrs. John Carter, John Yam
cey, Willie Shields, Hinton Frier-
son, and a number of others have
organized a debating club, to meet
on Fridays. On last Friday they
had the somewhat extensive and
complicated question of the relative
mischief caused by the two VS., war
and whisky. This reminds us that
for the past few weeks whisky
drinking here has been on the de
cline. Whether money has given
out, or people are waiting to get a
better 'holt' we do not know. ANY
way of accounting for it seems
more probable than that present ab
stinence is indicative of real i'm
provement. Amongst the multi
tudes of things we have survived is
belief IN the permanent reformation
of drunkards. And when a man
has once become such, as his earth
ly life is a curse to himself and 9th
ers, and as his future state must be
made worse by every additional
year of life, it does seem that the
sooner he kills himself-well, we
will rot say-the better.
SCRAPS.
Mr.. Richardson and Mr.. w. Nc
CaIlum were in town on Saturday
attending to some old lawsuits
These running sores-we mean not
the worthy gentlemen, but the suits
have not had enough greenback
plaster Iatterly to keep them open,
and except in some inyeterate cases
have, to use an elegant smile,
scabbed over. Mr.. Lindsay has
been quite sick, but the arrival of
his new stock of goods has inspir-
tied him to leave his sick bed. The
wind which was so destructive
about CornersvilIe on Thursday
night was not felt here. The G. p.
Presbytery meets at old Lynnville,
embracing the 4th Sabbath. The
Rev. S. w. Mitchell of Zion Church,
Maury county, will hold a sacra-
mental meeting at the depot, EN-
bracing the 9th Sunday. DIR. Grant
was in town Saturday. On Wednes-
day the horse of Lawyer Cowden of
Louisburg broke loose, shivered the
buggy into scraps, and as one ex-
pressed it, "skint tree" T. L. n.
