The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1877-08-16


antiquarian, useful and ornamental.
Mr.. Bill Worsham excels in ham
meriug iron and spinning yarns,
Jake Miller in wood working, Dol
Hopkins IN fine cattle and sheep,
among the latter is a large cash
mere ram, which is fine sample of
country butter. Mr.. Bill Aber
nathy has a large flock of fine goats,
that stand on their behind legs,
wag their tail, and wink one eye at
you to tell you show do" You'll
think they won't but butt they will.
We have never known goats so gray,
Wherever that you find them,
But that when they went away,
They left a scent behind them
of new mown hay. The Rev. John
Marks, Col. Alternately and Mr..
Dwyer, have flourishing schools
each, at Blooming Grove, Macklin's
and Edwards School House. I'm
der their instruction the youth are
fast becoming second SolomOns.
We heard some of their pupils,
not long since, singing;
Oh, God oflove
Look from above
Upon us little scholars;
We have three fools
To teach our schools,
Ard whip US, for the dollars.
Mrs. A. j. Cheatham and her lit
tie neice Sallie, who have been Wis
ting friends in Giles, have returned
to Texas. We hope they had a
pleasant sojourn, and returned safe
to the bosom of their friends.
Mr., Tom Reasonover, Joe Ed
wards, and John Harvey, who have
gone to the Lone Star State pros
pecting, write that they are well
pleased, and contemplate removing
there soon. Besides those above
mentioned, Doc. McClendon, Joe.
McCastlin, Mark Buchanan, Bent.
Phelps, and John Reasonover all
say they are going soon. We will
be sorry to lose such clever men
and good citizens.
We can truthfully say that we
have the best singing in the county
at Blooming Grove. Prof McFar-
land, who is the very soul of music,
instrumental and vocal, is at pres
ent teaching vocal music here. He
and his class can out MARBLE all the
woodland songsters in Giles coun
ty. 1t is said the Prof. understands
the theory and practice of music
thoroughly, and has happy tact in
imparting it to others. The sing
ing is interspersed with love and
croquet on the green campus, where
The gallant and gay,
For the game of croq net.
After the singing meet,
The pretty girls
With flowing curls,
And the boys with great big feet.
Our friend, Mr.. Z. Bass has been
unwell for the last month, but we
entertain hopes of his speedy recov
cry. Mr.. Harvey HIS here for
the purpose of improving his knowl-
edge box. He is minus one arm,
and we think heart. We hope he
will get another and two loving
arms, that, like a clasping vine, VIII
fondly embrace him and deck his
rugged grandeur sweetly DER.
Mr. Houston b. loves one of his
neighbors as himself and we think
better.
Love rules the camp, the field, the grove,
For love is heaven and heaven is love"
Protracted meeting has been con-
tinued at Blooming Grove for the
last ten days and has just closed.
There have been three conversions
and many mourners. The Rev.
Messrs. Pagan and Marks, darwell,
Dinwiddie and Rivers have labored
with us during the meeting. DR..
Rivers preached for us in the morn
ing and evening of the 9Th inst. 1t
has been our lot both in this coun-
try and in Europe to hear many of
the ablest dlvines each country af
fords, and we can say in truth, not
as puff, but as a well merited trib
ute, that Dr. Rivers is second to
none. He is prolific and didactic,
impressive and expressive, practic-
al, logical, analytical and synthet-
ical, inductiye and deductive, pa
thetic and antithetic, discursive, IL
Illustrative and Alternative, full of pow
er, passion, pathOs and poetry.
Truths divine come mended from
his tongue in thoughts that breathe
and words that burn.
Your correspondents, Mr.. Editor,
are very rich, rare and racy. That
was a very beautiful and appropri
ate smile your Wales Station cor
made use of in reference
to Kully. If Kully is the tumble |
bug, it naturally follows that your
Wales Station correspondent is the |
something he has been
rolling. What a redHetio Gd absUr
dum. Kully's ideal wife is ali |
SmileG, sunshine, love,
happiness, are the halo that an i'm
agination in love casts about the
honey moon, all to Danish as soon |
as that moon is eclipsed. Poor
Kully don't let Cupid shoot darts
at your heart and the dust in your
eyes at tue same time. Those who |
go it blind before marriage will
have their eyes opened afterwards.
They are making for themselves a
pit without bottom into which they |
fall without hope, FOOLS paradise,
where if a man acts the fool for |
one moment, by making a speech
to q woman, she will act it all her
life by believing him.
His beautiful ideal is imperfect in
one respect. Wa couldn't see how
