Parker's Store.


Your Wales Station correspond
ent assumes the responsibility to
contradict a statement made by me
in the CITIZEN two weeks ago, in
which l said that c. G. Vaughn had
shipped the finest car load of wheat
from Wales this season. As to the
quality of the wheat, l still stick to
what ! said and can substantiate it
by his own acknowledgment in the
presence Of responsible parties, be-
sides the judgment of men whose
knowledge of wheat is as good as
his own, if not better. If William
son & Bro. did ship the wheat,
Vaughn d Bro furnished it, which
makes the difference too small to at
tract the attention of a non-preiu-
diced reader. Mr.. Rodes may have
had a good article, but that's no
reason that Mr.. Vaughn's was not
a shade better. Mr.. "A.'s' unquali-
fed contradiction of my statement
does not treat me with the proper
respect, or represent the feelings of
the most of the people of that sec
ton either. If he will do more to
represent the intelligence of that
community instead of correcting
such slight mistakes" there is no
doubt but that he viii be better en-
ployed, and the CITIZEN will be
more attractive to the people of
Wales on account of the rich, rare
and racy productions of his prolific
pen.
Something like the cholera NOR
bus has been raging among the chill
dren in this section, but no very
serious cases as yet, at least none
fatal. Health is otherwise tolera-
bly, good for this time of the year.
Our farmers are about done
working their crops, and the pros
poets for a good yield are better
than was anticipated. l think some
of our neighbors have the banner
corn crops in the county, and are
not behind in the cotton. Wheat is
about all threshed now, and l think
l can safely say that our thresher
men in this section have got out at
least fourteen thousand bushels
which will compare favorably with
any other community. The Messrs.
Vaughn had the misfortune to break
their ''master wheel" which is ope-
rating a hardship upon them at the
present.
The season for lawsuits has
opened up with hattering prospects
for a heavy run of business. Our
new constable is pushing things
with a vim, which is one of his pc.
culiar characteristics.
The time for lounging has arrived
and we may expect to be beseiged
with O host of fellows whose bust
ness it will be to relate the news,
but they will be sure to peg ''chaw
terbaccer" before they leave.
Mr.. w. A. Green took up his tent
and moved to the neighborhood of
Wright's mills on Big Creek last
Saturday. We wish him well and
hope they have plenty of tobacco
up there. Mr.. William Vaughn,
eighty seven years of age, walked to
Alabama, distance of about fifty
miles, in one day, and returned in a
few days after as lively to all APP
pearances as a man of forty. He
was accompanied on his return p
his son, Theophelus, VIII -.
few days in t"', sootinn yisitin1
'04" ..es. Miss Fannie Parker hal
opened a school at Hebron, with |
tolerable fair attendance. Mis-
Ella Rogers is visiting Miss Molli
Puryear now. We hope her visi
will be one of exquisite pleasure
From what we know of Miss NJ
social qualities, sparkling wit anC
charming manners, nothing else
could be expected. Mr.. j. L. Wal
made a trip to Maury county OF
business last week.
For the benefit of my friend B.
will say that do not wish to maxi
such fool of myself as to ask
question that will merit such al
answer that cold Salt receives
some time since. l am not person
ally acquainted with Mr.. j. H. An
drews, but l suppose he still re
sides in Pulaski, or has ever sine
he returned from his aerial voyage
For fear of disappearing Nh
Andrews l will refer b. to the PU
LAsKI CITIZEN, Vol. 10. If that i
not sufficient he can see the gentle
man IN person by going TO his plac
of business in Pulaski. b. is not
subscriber surely or he would knoN
more about the gentleman in ques
ton than he claims TO know.
Several of our neighbors attende,
the Pleasant Valley meeting yester
day. The meeting has been goini
on a week without being successful
