We all fused and prophesied evil
if it continued dry, and the Lord
gave US copious showers, the clouds
dropping their garnered fullness
down and we say, "What time fol
saving wheat"-"It will sprout in
the field"-"The weeds will take
the crops" &c, showing that with
all other blessings we still possess
evil, discontinued hearts.
Wheat buyers are on the alert.
Heard a gentleman say that every
man in town wanted to buy wheat.
"The more, the merrier." "Compe-

The closing exercises at the
Academy promised to be of unusual
interest, but were cut short by the
most continuously rainy day of the
season Notwithstanding the in
clemency of the weather a goodly
number of our people came out in
the evening to hear the annual adj
dress delivered by DR.. DuBose. The
Doctor departed from his original
purpose and, instead of giving us
the address prepared in his study,
presented eXtemporaneously many
good thoughts suggested by the
occasion, with much force urging
the building up of good home
schools to the neglect OF the low
grade institutes dubbed colleges
which are filling the country
with graduates who could not enter
the Freshman class in a respectable
university. He used humbugs with
cut gloves and handicufed the pre-
vailing false notions of education
so perfectly in accordance with our
own ideas that we heartily forgave
his giving US a sly tap over the
shoulders of female colleges in gen
eral. The entertainment expected
at night, on account of the bad
weather, was postponed until the
following Tuesday night. 1t was
the especial work of our indefati-
gable music teacher, Mrs. Brown,
assisted by Miss Wesie Shields, a
young lady of fine musical as well
as other accomplishments. and two
OF our young gentlemen amateurs,
Messrs. Jimmie Garrett and Albert
Shields. Mrs. BIS patrons are much
pleased with her as q music teacher.
1t is to be hoped that she will re
ceive a more liberal patronage and
tina. a music room will be built on
the Academy lot at an early day.
No steps, however, have been taken
in that direction.

After the ceremony, the wedding
party accompanied by invited guests
repaired 20 the lady's residence,
where an elegant supper awaited
them, and the evening was spent un-
der the inspiring influences of mn-
sic, beauty and wit. The air is full
of matrimonial rumors, and il is
confidently asserted that not many
days will elapse before others will
ego Snd do likewise. 9. A.

they caught up with Prof. A. and

Doubtless you have been con-
graduating yourself for some time
that you would not be bothered
with any more of my nonsense, but
you see we are all liable to be mis-
taken sometimes. You must take
this sort of thing calmly and qui-
city, and l will tell YOU for fact,
/ the easier you take it the less / will
write. 1 have waited patiently for
some weeks for Sir Phil Anthropy
to give you the news, but he has let
the news grow old.
The farmers round about have
cut the most of their wheat, not
withstanding the wet weather. i
do not know that it is injured
much Heard some complaint of
rust week or two ago. Corn and
cotton are growing fast; so are the
weeds. l know somebody that has
fine crop of weeds nearly ripe
enough to cut. Yes, and I'll bet
you think it is me,
Our friend Mr.. Crow, after hav-
ing a good deal of trouble, has sue
ceeded in laying part of the founda-
ton of the middle pier of the
bridge, and thinks he will finish it in
one more day. We wish him sue
cess, for he certainly deserves it.
He is very patient and energetic.
We are without a school now and
miss Prof Dickinson very much.
Wish he would come back again.
Well, we have gotten fast enough
to have the telegraph wires running
through our town. Now L tell you
women folks have lots of curiosity.
When you send a message over the
wires, if you don't look out we will
catch it and find out what it is.
The health of the country is good
generally speaking, and as a natural
consequence the doctors are rest
less. Dr. Bowers is able to be up
most of the time. l wish l could
tell you that he is entirely well. l
hope the time will soon come when
we will see him out again. Rev. Mr..
Mitchell will preach at the Cumber
land church here tonight and to-
morrow, and on the fourth Sunday
in every month, Rev. p. A. Sowell
is at Midbridge for two or three
days, but will be back home in time
to preach for us tomorrow night.
We are somewhat inclined to wish
that Midbridge would move down
here every Sunday.
Miss Lille Bouldin is at DR.
Bowers, probably for the summer
We are glad to give her a welcome
home again. Mrs. John Baugh and
Mrs. j. r. Beasley are visiting at
Col Grggsby's, and Mrs. w. 1. Gil
bert at Col. A. d. Bulls. So you
see We are not all dead yet.
Now would you believe it? we
have found the veritable "Don
Quixote" (the knight of the sorrow

charge on a lot of old stumps, and
come off with his helmet smashed.

Summer has at last come, and we
may expect the protracted meetings

not deviate from the rules of Chris

We do not have religion in our
heads in summer, and heels in win
ter. We can say without hesita-
ton, that this is decidedly one of
the most quiet villages in the South.
Why2 because we have two regular
sabbath schools, and no drinking
saloons, or anything that is calcula
ted to demoralize the place.
We regret the young men of the
vicinity display but little gallantry
in their attention to the young ladies.
They should remember Misses An.

serted, but remember the consoling
maxim; ''there is as good fish in the
sea, as has ever been caught.

Aspen Hill.

The wheat harvest is about oveI
and the farmers all see that the rust
has damaged their wheat more OF
less in low lands. Some are com
planning of "Gen. Green" in their
cotton and corn, and are now ask
ing for reinforcements for fear of a
large crop of hay in the summer.
Cotton and corn are both small for
the time of the year.
Mr.. j. ). Hasten starts for West
Tennessee on a visit to some of his
relatives in Hickman county. He
wants to 90 as far as Lawrenceburg
on the K. Il p. railroad, but says it
will be some out of his way and the
road is in bad fix, especially on the
section close to the Bohemian p. O.
The Tigers" who constitute the
base ball club at this place, had a
trial game with the Quicksteps last
Saturday, with the Tigers winners
9 to 3. The Tigers say they can
beat any club in the county, and
will play with any club at any time.
Prospect has been trying to beat
Aspen Hill for a long time in all the
games and styles but never did yet.
One of her champion marble play
ers, Mr.. I. b., was here to-day and
played a game or two and was beat
en- every time, and the boys say
they can beat Prospect doing any
thing.
The ice cream supper and dance
at Mr.. L. Atwell Fogg's was a sue
cess. There was plenty of ice
cream and cakes of all kinds made
by the young ladies of our town
who cannot be beat, for there is not
a young lady in our midst who can
not bake a cake, talk to a young
man, or look well at an ice-cream
supper. We were glad to meet sew
eral young and gallant men from
Pulaski who added very much to
the enjoyment of the occasion. Mr..
&. j. w. of Pulaski was said by sew
eral young ladies of our village TO
be the most handsome young man
present. Mr. Ed. j. was present
and everybody was glad to meet
him, because he is a spiritualist.
The party broke up at 3 o'clock in
the morning, and every young man
was found-"going home with the
girls in the morning"
Prof. ). d. Clack closed his
spring session at this place last
Thursday to make ready Cor his
public school, which commences
next Monday. Everybody knows
Mr.. Clack to be a good teacher and
we will have a good school here for
the public, and doubtless a large
one. We were pleased to see on
the cars the other day while pass
ing the face of the finest man in
Tennessee, and that face was Eek

its rules as such. We claim to be
a progressive people, and we hope
that this institution will fully sus-
tain the assertion. One of the
most agreeable features in the case
will be the admission of young la
dies as members, and they will be
expected to conduct the literary de-
partment.
Mr.. c. H. Cameron has been a
frequent visitor to our village OF
late. Something unusually attract
i've | suppose; what it is the future
viii develope. Well, that's all right,
Charlie, glad to have a young man
visit us that has gallantry enough
about him to leave his mule at
Church long enough to conduct a
young lady to her residence.
The nineteenth civil district had
an election for constable sure
enough last Saturday. 1t had been
in anticipation for some time, but
the number of votes polled was
small. Candidates, Messrs Matt
Chapman, John Pryor, and John
Lumpkin. The former received a
large majority of the votes cast, but
the latter got what the boy shot at
nothing. Everything went off
quietly Some of the boys saw a
good deal of fun.
The superabundance of rain is
operating a hardship upon the
farmers just now. Wheat is being
harvested very rapidly this week,
but the people are fearful of losing
a great deal unless the weather gets
fair. Corn is growing very fast
now and is looking very well. but
cotton seems to be growing down
wards instead of the usual way.
Poor prospects indeed for money
from that source. But we must
submit to the ruling of an allwise
Providence, and hope for the har-
vest to be better than the present
outlook indicates.
Rev. W. Weakley has been very
feeble of late, but was able to fill
his appointment at Hebron last
Sunday. We hope that he may
soon regain his usual health and
vigor.
Several of our neighbors have
been visiting Mrs. Cheatham of
Maury county lately. Her health
has been despaired of by her friends
but at last accounts she was i'm
proving. We hope that the grim
messenger may yet spare his vic
tim. NJ. j. NJ. Parker made trip
to Nashville last week with car
load Of walnut lumber, and came
back minus thirty dollars. BY mis-
take, l suppose he overloaded a car,
and had to pay freight at the regu-
lar rates. A dear mistake that.
Mrs. Johnson of the Mt. Olivet
neighborhood is spending a few
weeks with her niece Mrs. Ella
Vaughn of this place. DR.. Herbert
and lady have been visiting rela-
tives in this vicinity lately. Mr..
jeff Rackley came very near being
drowned in Big creek a few days
ago. Mr.. Henry Gates swan to his
assistance and came very near meet
ing with the same fate. Both how.
ever were rescued before life was
extinct. We had a very severe
rain storm here yesterday.

We heard several gentlemen the
other day commenting upon the
moral status of Pulaski. They are
men who have travelled and observed
great deal, and they assert that
there is less immortality here than
in any place of Its size they ever
saw. A learned Georgia gentleman
spent a week here q short time
since. He is engaged in travelling
for the Sunny South, and he says
that he never was in a town of this
size before for a whole week with
out seeing some one drunk or hear
ing an oath. Our young men are
nearly all moral and the larger class
of our people jealous church mem
bers. This is the very highest
recommendation a place could have
for a man who has family to raise,
and this advantage is greatly en-
HANGED by our female College. There
is no place offering more advan-
tages to man who wishes to raise
his children under the influence of
a moral atmosphere and to educate
them TO the highest standard Of
earning.

Ahe Frizzell. who lived in Pula!

Abe Frizzell, who lived in Pulas-
XII long and was much thought of
by everybody on account of mis-
clever wit and social humor, not
withstanding his waywardness,
committed suicide with laudanum
last Saturday week at Lynchburg.
We are extremely sorry to hear of
this sad event, for better and
more affectionate man did not
breathe than Abe. He has long
been a slave to drink and it at
last brought him the saddest death
that can be inflicted upon man
that which he inficts with his own
hand.

Unless some very speedy effort is
made by Pulaski to avert the ca
lamity, large proportion of the
trade of the Brick Church country
and all the upper Bradshaw country
will go to Lewisburg hereafter.
For twenty years or more we have
urged the necessity of pike to
Brick Church and one to the LIN
coin line, and still we are urging.
These two pixies would be worth a
great deal to Pulaski, and it is
strange her business men and prop
erty owners do not act We repeat,
Lewisburg will take enough trade
from Pulaski to build these roads
at once.

1t appears from Prof Ford's re-
port that Capt Andrews was the
life of the party. He was pious for
once in his life, when at $4,000 feet
above everywhere and nothing visi-

SAYS he promised not to tell how
his piety oozed out when he struck

Modesty forbids that we should
tell and it is with EXTREMIST diff
dence that we refer to o remark or
two by Louisville gentleman late
" visiting Pulaski. He said and
we quite agree with him, that the
Courier Journal is the best paper in
the country, that it was utterly in
approachable by anything save the
PULASKI CITIZEN. We would not
sell out now for 80 cents. Nay,
though a sock full of silver were
thrust at us, we'd spurn the filthy
lucre and say with the poet, double
the bet and its whack."
