We see so many letters from the
little ones of this vicinity published
in the Louisville papers that the
| thought has occurred to US that the
CITIZEN would do well to open q
children's column for the exercise
of this native talent. We otter the
suggestion for that most sensible
editress. Mrs. Harold, TO ruminate
over Open a column for the little
ones, and if they do not write letters
enough to fill it, Mrs. II. can herself
make it as interesting and instruc
tive as she does those devoted to
the ladies. 1t is probable that one
county is not large enough to sup
ply material for keeping up interest,
but if the plan can be carried out
it would help to educate the young
folks, and de good generally. It is
signal proof of the debasing and
degrading and selfish tendency of
the married state that no one has
been found to make this suggestion
but an old bachelor.
This week has been in signal con
trast to the last, on three days of
which we had public speakings.
The people are now employing
themselves in the more profitable
business of blowing and sowing,
and in consequence town is desert
ed. On Saturday Rev. Dr. Hoyt, of
Nashville, began 20 preach in the
Presbyterian church. There was a
large congregation. present on Sab
bath, and there seemed not a per-
son present unaffected by the elo-
quence and pathos of this really
great preacher. The services are
to continue a day or two. Among
those present on Sabbath we no
ticed Mr.. Clay Crow and his charm
ing wife and that one Of the three
graces known as Miss Laura Irvine,
of Pulaski. Also Miss Annie Blu
ford and her sister Mrs. Goodwin,
of Nashville, Mr.. Carr and Mr.. and
Mrs. Brandon, all from Buford's,
and a number of others who are not
wont to meet with US at the sanctu-
airy and whom we are reioiced to
greet once more in the flesh. One
of the most delightful things about
the meeting to those of US who are
too old to like changes, was that we
had once more the exquisite sing
ing of the leader of the choir, Mr..
Gale Thomas. This gentleman for
a large part of the year has been
absent in Spring Hill, and lately
has been making a most successful
circuit among the fairs with the
stock he had trained. We learn
that he attended seven fairs and
carried off premiums from them all.
Mr.. Campbelrs school has sus-
tanned itself in respect to numbers,
as we are sure no other in the coun-
" save in Pulaski has done. He
has the art of inspiring interest
alike ia pupils and parents. And
the extraordinary improvement his
students have made is the incon-
testable proof of his exceptional
gifts as a teacher. Mr.. Albert
Shields a short while ago was en-
plOyed in the telegraph office in Co
lumbia and st this exact time is in
the office at Prospect. We hear
that Mr. Lindsay will move 30 lin
coin in a week. Also that Mr.. Far
mer anticipates deserving the Hoge
place and moving nearer to town on
the land he bought at the Fry sale.
Also that Mr.. Charles Buford is
thinking Of renting a place and liv
ing Bach. Also that Mr.. Andrew
Boyd is going to live on his farm,
once a part of the Fry, land in the
same unincumbered style, and that
Mr. and Mrs. Beatty are going to
Franklin to live among their num-
erous relatives resident in that town
and indeed throughout all William
