Died.
J. SAM. CHILDERs.


Mr. L. 5. Voss died very sudden
ly last Saturday night at II o'clock
He was taken only that morning
and no one scarcely knew he was
sick until his death was announced
He had exposed himself in the re
cent bad weather very much and was
attacked with pneumonia, accOmpa-
MED with a brain trouble, which
speedily terminated his life. Mr.
VOss has been long a citizen Of Pu-
laski and was esteemed by a host
of friends. His remains were car
ried to Columbia Sunday evening
for burial.

ELKTON.

Mr.. EDITOR II saw in your pa
per two weeks ago a call for a cor
respondent from Elkton. Now, my
dear sir, it is utterly impossible for
we Elktonians to correspond with
anybody. Why? Simply because
of the hard times and scarcity of
money. We have no pens nor no
ink nor no paper nor no nothing.
Mankind generally seems to be in
trouble in this community. If we
want a new dress or a new bonnet
or a pair of button shoes, for an
swer we get hard times and no
money. In fact, the everlasting cry
is.ringing in our ears from morn
ing till night. Business is decid-
edly duh in our little town, but we
hope it viii be better when spring
opens. The farmers were progress
ing finely with their work until the
cold weather put a stop to it for a
time. The peaches are all killed in
this neighborhood, which grieves US
considerably, as we were deprived
of them last year. But if we can't
have fruit we have a fair prospect
for lots Of biscuit. We have a
flourishing school heIe taught by
Mr.. Tom Baugh and Miss Ophelia
Scruggs. Have preaching twice
every month when it don't rain
but then it always rains. Sunday
school every Sunday. We are sorry
to say that the people do not take
as much interest in the Sabbath
school as they might. We ought
to have very interesting school
here. Last Saturday was lively
day for the natives. Twas election
day, and several lawsuits were on
hand also. Our friend Mr.. F. DIG.
Smithson, from Pulaski, was in our
town that day, looking remarkably
well-as he usually does. He drops
down on us occasionally like a
streak of sunshine. Our fellow
toWnsman, Mr.. A W. Moore, has
gone to Nashville 70 buy a stock OF
spring goods. He was aceompa-
MED by Miss Sue Bull, who has
gone to visit her sister, Mrs. NJ. B
Eatherly, of Nashville. We hope
Miss Sues visit may be pleasant
but short, as we shall miss the sun
light Of her countenance. Miss
Zaida Scruggs has left US for a time.
She has gone to Lincoln to steach
the young idea how to shoot We
shall feel tlse loss, but she is felly
competent to gain much. We had
I quite a heavy fall of snow about q
week ago. Last Monday was a fine
day for snow balling, and you know

DIED.

Mr.. Jos. A. Browning, a promi-
nent and highly esteemed citizen of
Aspen Hill, died at his home last
Saturday night of consumption,
aged about 80 gears. Mr.. Brewing
was a man of great moral worth,
strict integrity and great business
tact, and his death will be felt by
that people who have so long recog-
nized and reaped the benefit OF his
many virtues. He leaves 4 wife
and two children to mourn his loss,
and to them we extend our sympa-
thy. His remains were inferred by
Pulaski Lodge No. 1O1, f. q A. NJ
on Monday with ali honors. His
place can hardly be filed in that
community.

BUNKER HILL.

Noticed an article in your wor-
thy paper calling on some of the
many friends of the CITIZEN at the
different post offices in the county
to write short paragraphs for publ
cation, and as this is my first at
tempt I hope the readers of the
CITIZEN swill not be worried with
what I have to say. I will com
mence by saying what almost ev-
cry body also says, that times are
hard, but I think it is only in
money, matters that we have any
excuse at all for grumbling. We
have plenty of every thing else but
money and everything cheap for
the money. We have two stores
here doing as good business as
could be expected under the money
pressure. We also have a black
smith shop, and a good school.
Preaching close by nearly every
Sabbath. Plenty Of Doctors. Good
health and as fine running water as
can be found in the county We
also have some men Of enterprise
who believe we ought to have a
good pike road from Childers' tan
yard to the Lincoln line by the way
of Bunker HILL We also have a
pretty good number who take the
CITIZEN others and who claim not to
be able to paythe subscription price;
yet some of them will read every
Que they can borrow and grumble at
it for not being better paper. 1 do
not mention the above fact to wound
the feelings Of any body, but mere
~ TO show the Inconsistency ofsome
of our neighbors. My opinion is
that we should do all in our power
to build up the county paper. Tax
ing all things into consideration 1
do think that Killer, las it is called
by some) is not as bad a place as
has heen represented. Excuse this
dry noteand I will try to do better
the next time Yours truly,
KILLER.

ASPEN HILL.

Mr.. EDTToR.- the absence of
a more gifted pen 1 have concluded
to give you something occasionally
from Aspen Hill
This village is located on the n.
d D. r. R., miles south of Pulaski
in the valley of Richland creek and
in one of the most productive and
desirable portions of Giles county.
1t is not remarkable in any respect
particularly. 1t presents to the
traveller an appearance of neatness
and exhibitions of taste.
The villagers and the neighbor-
hood generally are characterized by
spirit of civility, economy and in
dustry. The farms of this commu
nifty are finely adapted to the
growth Of cotton, corn, wheat and
almost any thing else common to
this country. There is probably a
larger crop of wheat growing this
year than has been for several past.
The crops of last year would have
compared favorably with any por-
ton of the county. From the rail
road agents book we find there has
been shipped from this place since
Jan. /, II car loads of corn, about
100 bales of cotton, besides several
loads of other produce. There is
still an abundance in the community
waiting, l suppose, for better prices.
Morally, we are about as our sis
ter neighborhoods-have great room
for improvement.
The Methodists and Cumberland
Presbyterians in our midst are hav-
ing a laudable influence, but sBac-
Gus" and "Will Rhodes string band"
mixed with the influence of Cupid,
are doing much in turning the
minds of our people from the more
important theme of christianity, es-
peclally the young, who are building
airy castles of joys here below.
PERSONAL.
Died, on the 22d inst, of irrita-
ton of the bowels and stomach, in
FAINT child of Columbus Tomerlin.
Capt" (?) 1. N. Butler, clerk for
S. d b., is as humorous as ever
has an increasing appetite for eggs.
Dr.. G. D. Butler has just returned
from Louisville with his "sheep
skim" has opened a small stock of
drugs in the village.

The New Band.

The effort now being made to get
up a good brass band for Pulaski
deserves the aid of our people. 1t
is composed of some of our most
worthy young men, and in the short
time that they have had the project
on foot they have secured about
$500, and they meet with encour-
agement at every step. The organ
ization is controlled by stringent
bylaws, ard the members have all
entered into it with the sober deter
mination to make it a success, which
they cannot fail to do. We believe
Pulaski will be proud of this band
before many months. 1t is thing
that the town needs, and no effort
has ever before been made with the
same determination and with the
same promises of success. We
hope our people will aid them to the
extent that they are able, and let US
compete with our sister towns in
this as we'll as other things.

ried life be oIfe Of JOY and prosper
ity. Few be the clouds to feat DER
the sunshine of their happiness;
bright be their lives. But in every
cup of bliss some bitter drees re
main. So they must not expect
their pathway through life to be
strewn with thornless flowers, or
their sky to be always bright and
eioudless. Storms may arise and
flowers decay, but with patience and
forbearanee they can be happy.

WALES.

Wales is an important station.
We have one dry goods store and a
grocery, and it would surprise you
to be there at train time to hear the
inquiries for mail. This shows we
axe a reading community. Our
lands are of the best in the county.
1t speculiarly adapted to cotton,
small grain and grass. Mr.. Rodes,
who is making a specially of fine
sheep and cattle, has his farm finely
set in blue grass, orchard grass and
clover, and will vie with the far
famed blue grass region of Ken
lucky. His thousands of pure bred
Merino sheep roam at viii; his cat
tie are of the best. From long i'm
provement and recent importations
they have attained a very high
standard of excellence. Mr.. Haynie
Rose has his large farm nearly ali
in meadow. He is raising fine
horses, which may be seen grace
fully moving about nippi2g the
choice blades of grass, or with
heads up, and dilated eye, stepping
round as though they disdained the
ear TIA true sign Of the thorough
bred. Mr.. Jones Hopkins, who has
nearly every acre o. his land in
grass, has a mania for fat cattle and
perhaps has now on hand some OF
the latest in the country. Mr..
Hopkins buys scalawags, mongrels
and thoroughbred alike, and soon
makes them fine beeves with excel
lent treatment. Many of our farm
ers have shipped a great deal Of
corn during the past winter. The
farming interests of this communi-
ty seem 60 have commenced this
season with renewed energy, and
by faithful continuance we are in
hopes of an abundant harvest as a
reward. ID. r.

Considerable excitement was got
ten up Monday night by a lot of
gentlemen who assembled in Judge
Testers office and called up the
spirits. a large table was made to
cut up all kinds of antics and final
ly to twist its own leg of. Several
believe in a supernatural agency and
are not over their scare yet, while
others philosophise and call it ''she-
nanigan' and so quiet their nerves.
Dr.. Gordon is supposed to possess
more Of the necessary afiiatus than
any one, as the table seemed to have
a decided partially for him. Dr.
Sumpter has developed aFosterian
talent to a great extent. He can

A composition in this office made
mistake in an esteemed correspon-
dents article a week or two since,
which constrained the said e. C. to
write to our Phitin Editor and ask
him ito lick the imp of Satin for
so doing. Our 2. E, answered that
he redressed the wrongs of no one
who spelled Satan with an /; and
now we suppose the e. c. will respond
that the object was to give the com
positor an that he might have a

the best excuse to be given for the
blunder.

LYNNVILLE.


Everything about town during
the past week has been in state Of
puddle. Not the ground only. but
matters financial, mercantile, aeri
cultural and spiritual. The TN
precedented weather has interrupt
ed everything except the trade of
wood, for which there has been
brisk demand and good prices paid
BY consumers.
VISITORS.
Mr.. Robert j. Gordon, of Nash
vile, was in town Friday. En-
gagged now in the cotton and
tobacco business, he says the pres
ent season has been very favorable
for trade in the latter. On the same
day Mr.. Robert jackson, of the
Brick Church, was here. The ener
e. and business qualifications of
this young gentleman are, we hope,
laying the foundation of a lasting
prosperity. On the same day, we
also had Major Campbell Brown of
Spring Hill. An extensive repudi
alton party has arisen in Maury
county which Major B. is opposing.
He states that the wealthiest men
about Nashville, altho' owning not
a State bond, are bitterly contend
ing against such an act of moral
suicide on the part of the State,
which as yet has been without a
stain, and that the Indebtedness
incurred by the Radical government
which the people might reasonably
enough object to paying, has al
ready been mainly cancelled. In
passing, it may be said that a year
or two back Mr. Davis, who was
entirely opposed to Mississippi re
pudiation, conferred with some
English capitalists about the scheme
in which Mississippi was in part
interested. The mention of the
name was enough to make the CAPT
talists resolve to have nothing to
do with it.
MARROW GAUGE.
DR.. Sam Mcdonald, grandson of
Mr.. Sam Burns, said to be the
wealthiest man in Wayne, was here
on Saturday. The Doctor saws
that there is a great opposition to
the railroad tax in Wayne. The
objections urged are that the real
estate of the whole county is little
over 100000, and that indebted
ness to the amount of $I25, 600 is /
too great to assume. That the
Tennessee River bounds the
county on the west and is ac-
cessible to the most fertile regions;
and finally that the hills which are
back of the river produce little to
export but iron ore. DR.. NJ. states
that from these considerations most
of the wealthy farmers who live at
a distance from the proposed track
are opposed to the taxation.
Personal.
We understand that Mr.. Gale
Thomas expects to spend a few
months in Spring Hill, assisting
Major Brown in getting his animals
in training for his annual sale,
which comes off early in June.
Mrs. Helen Walker, who is by mar
riage neice of the greatjurist, Judge |
Nicholson, whose loss is felt by the
whole State, went to the burial at
Columbia. Mrs. Nathan Smith has
been quite sick, but, we are glad to
say, is recovering. The vote for
putting on the extra taxation fo~
school was voted on Saturday. 1t
seems to be almost unanimous
against the proposed increase here
