Beautiful and Appropriate.

Several ladies and gentlemen,
through Mr.. w. E. Lacey, made a
public presentation of handsome
toilet set, mounted upon a silver
setting. to Miss Fannie Mcclellan
at the Concerto on Monday evening.
1t is as beautiful as its presentation
was appropriate. Miss Mcclellan
has given considerable time and
trouble to the preparation of the
Concerto and its pre-eminent sue
cess is largely due to her exquisite
talent and unselfish energy in its
preparation. Mr.. Lacey did the
honors beautifully, saying:
This beautiful present, Miss Nc
Clellan, through me has been ten
dered you by a few among your
many friends for the kindly manner
in which you have SO cheerfully and
and freely given an entertainment
for the benefit of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. Pulaski will
ever remember you and wish for
you future as bright and lovely
as the first blush of the Goddess
Auora. These little flowers orna-
meE ting the beautiful present seem
to be growing with. life, and l
imagine / see their color assuming
a brighter hue in the happy knowl-
edge, or reality, of being transferred
to you, the very queen of flowers.
Capt. Jno. G. Lester, in behalf of
Miss Mcclellan, accepted the hand
some present, expressing in beauti-
full words her gratitude ana we'll
wishes.

The recent rains have retarded
the progress of our farmers in SO
much that very few are done plant
ing and a few have not planted any
cotton yet. bat it is hoped that this
dry spell that has opened upon US
will continue until they can get
through planting.
Wheat is looking well and prom
Uses a full crop, and if the war in
Europe is a dead sure thing wheat
growers viii make it pay this year.
Some ofour farmers are trying bar
ley this year and seem to be of the,
opinion that it will beat wheat as
a speciality.
This community was thrown into
q blaze of excitement a few days
ago by the return of Mr.. Beavers.
He gives glowing description of
the part of Texas through which he
travelled. He says that he intends
to prove to the people that he was
not prompted to make this trip from
an impure motive. We hope he will
succeed and turn the tide OF pub
lie sentiment in another direction
and redeem what a great many
thought he had forleited-a good
name.
Our quiet village came very near
being the scene of a little tragedy
the other day. A white man and a
negro had a difficulty about the
levying of an execution upon the
personal property of the negro that
caused the row. But fortunately
they did not get to blows. and thus
saved the splitting OF blood.
Mr.. Will Green has been sick for
the last few days. He is GONZALES
cent now and we hope that he will
soon be able to resume his business.
Mr.. John L. Green has been visiting
relatives in this place lately. Rev.
u. A. Parker, of the North Alabama
Conference, has been visiting rela
tives and friends in this section.
He was engaged to fill the Salem
pulpit last Sunday. Mr.. Robert
Sanders, of Rivers Station, visited
his daughter and son-in-law in this
village yesterday. He is just recov
cring from a spell of sickness.
Mr.. N. S. Phelps had very bad
luck the other Sunday. He rode
up TO his jewels house, hitched his
mule and went in. just about the
time he hitched his chair up close
to hern and had got ready to "pop
the question" his mule got loose
and ran off. Now, / suggest that
some one down there on Pigeon
Roost loan Neil a chain to hold his
mule until he gets that question
popped. April Both. KULLY.

Jewish NJ arriage

Mr.. Solomon Feinberg was unit
ed in marriage to Miss Yetty So
linsky on last Tuesday evening.
Rabbi Bloomenthal of Nashville
performed the ceremony according
to established Jewish rites at 6
o'clock and at Esq. j. L. Jones
united the couple in legal bonds.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frankie gave away
the groom and Mr.. and Mrs. So
linsky the bride Messrs. A. Good
man OF Columbia, f. Loventhai and
Romansky of Shelbyville and A.
Kolsky of Nashville were the gen.
tlemen attendants, and Misses So
linsky of this city and Slomen of
of Shelbyville attended the bride.
The ceremony was witnessed by a
great number of invited guests, a
great many from a distance and
was very solemn and imposing. AT
ter the ceremonies, the guests were
invited to partake of a splendid and
costly supper, and from that to
late hour mirth and joy ran high.
We are indebted to the happy
groom and his joyous bride for the
gift of a magnificent cake, and as
we set and enjoy and pen this mea.
gre notice, we wish for them long
life of happiness and prosperity.
The following license have been is
sued since our last report:

Aspen Hill.

The husbandmen of this commu
nifty are again having a hard time.
They had about succeeded in get
ting their lands enclosed, which was
left fenceless by the late food, when
the windows of the heavens seemed
to open, and the rain again fell al
most in torrents, causing Richlana
to have an upward tendency which
continued about twenty-four hours,
dealing distress and destruction in
every direction. Some corn had
been planted in the low lands which
is now several feet under water.
Wheat fields are again exposed to
the hitherto pent mp scalawags,
which will doubtless do justice to
their appetite. On the whole the
prospects are very gloomy.
Our villagers are still going ahead
with their usual vim.
Mr.. S. D. Clack, our indefatiga-
bic teacher, is having his dwelling
renovated and painted, which will
add much to its already attractive
appearance.
Mr.. j. NJ. Dickson, our humorous
depot agent, has also been lately
appointed express agent. We now
have regular express Office in our
village, which is quite a conven-
fence.
Mr.. Levi, German, will open a
stock of goods soon in the house
occupied by Reed d Eubanks.
Mr.. Leo, in n recent letter to the
CITIZEN said that Mr.. j. NJ. Dick
son would plant ten acres in tobacco
this year, and Capt. Hobbs would
plant twelve. l would advise Leo
to consider Davy Crocket's guide to
successful know you are right and
then go ahead. The truth is, they
have already more than a score of
acres planted, but for the known eff
feet of the moon On vegetation or
some other reason, they have leased
the hanging gardens of Imagination
and planted it somewhere in the
aerial region; and if Leo will call
around next fall and they do not
greet him with the Aspen Hill salu
tation, "Tll bet you hain't got no
good smoking tobacco" then T will
own up.
One of our up the-railroad gen.
tlemen, who has had lengthy ac-
quaintance with matters and things,
called on some young ladies last
Thursday evening, and he became
so much enchanted with the agreea-
BILE surroundings that before he
could get his consent to start home
the rain began to fall and of course
he stayed all night. Next morning
Riehland was foaming and surging
through the valley, and he was
forced to leave old gray and take
care Of himself. 1t would have
been amusing to have seen him
tipping up the railroad through the
village next morning at day-break,
looking this way and that way to
see if anybody had gotten up. 1t
will he treat for him to go after
his horse.
One of our young men, by dar
ing feat few evenings ago, placed
his name on our list of heroes. He
a crowd of witnesses
and in the presence of them all,
jumped to the moon-of course
mean tie honey moon and the jim
le-jangle of a dozen tin buckets
and dinner bells-at a late hour made
him believe he had won applause.
Mr.. Ed Jones will work cheaper
in Aspen Hill than any where in the
world. Why? OBsERvAToR.

Ex-Gov. Jno. c. Brown arrived
in this city last Saturday from
Washington. a large body of prom
inent- citizens, with the Cornet
Band, went to his residence Satur-
day night and serenaded him. when
the Governor appeared upon the
balcony and gave a short history of
his services upon the Louisiana
Commission, recounting the many
and grievOus wrongs that have been
heaped upon that suffering people
and showing how their deliverance
was effected. He congratulated his
hearers that the time had arrived,
after long t.ibulation, when the
South, reh;.bllitated in the vest
ments of liberty, could take her
stand rs an integral in the sister
hood of States, completely emanci
pated from the thraldom of polit
zeal oppression and carpetbaggery.
The hiss of the bloody shirt SIAN
derers will now be hushed and the
whole country, once more. united,
march on to that grand destiny
marked out by its founders. After
his speech, the Governor invited
the vast throng in to partake of his
hospitality, and right royalty did he
entertain them with wisdom, wine
and. wit until late hour. The
Governor and Mrs. Brown were to
leave yesterday for Texas, where
his business calls him.

Messrs. w. G. Lewis and Jas. 4.
Alternately have exchanged their
premium Berkshire, Stonewall, to
Mr.. r. p. Ledbetter. of Williamson
county, for his imported Berkshire,
Othello. The Rarol San says these

of their breed as can be found in
this country. By this exchange.

the 22d inst, while coming to Elk
ton, Mrs Capt. Bowers was thrown
from her horse on the pike and had
her collar bone broken. Willie B.,
her grandson, was also badly
bruised. Brother Parker, of Madi

would be glad to have him visit us

NJ. Hickey, Col. Jno. NJ. Frierson,
Gen. A. B. Upshaw, Maj. H. T..
Yeatman and Col. Ed. Shegog,
representative citizens of Columbia,
came to Pulaski last Tuesday and
called upon FIX Gov. Jno. c. Brown,
to congratulate him upon the sue
cess of the labors of the Louisiana
Commission and to give personal
expression to their admiration for
the principles which actuated him
in undertaking the arduous dusies
of the one democrat upon the parti
san Commission, and the eminent
victory achieved for liberty and the
South through his instrumentality
The delegation of eminent gentle
men dined with Gov. Brown and
were received and entertained by
the Governor and his accomplished
lady with hospitality equalled on
~ by the genuiness OF the uneX-
celled kindness of Mrs. Brown
and the grand nobleness that
crops out in every action and
word of the Governor. They were
highly pleased with their visit, re-
naming to hear the speech in the
afternoon and the Concert at night.
Mr.. R. A. Corbin, of New Or
leans, stock dealer, has been in
the city several days buying stock.
He heard Gov. Browns speech, and
endorses him heartily. He is much
taken with our town and especially
with the babies-voting more than
any one at the baby contest.
Mr.. A. Kolsky, formerly of Pu-
laski, came down from Nashville to
the wedding. He is a gentleman of
the first magnitude.
Messrs. Edmundson, A. c. Nc
Kissack, w. II. MeCallum, G. p.
Jones, II. Arrowsmith, j. d. Baugh,
r. A. Mitchell, Will Craig and w.
C. Nelson started yesterday to at
tend the Conclave of the Grand
Commandery in Memphis to-day.
Mrs. w. 1. Rainey accompanied the
party upon a visit, as also MIR. Geo.
5. White.
Miss Lula Glenn Harrison re-
turned to her home In Kokomo,
Ind, last week, after several moths
spent in visiting Pulaski. Her ia
the-, Col. Harrison, now deceased,
was long resident Of this county.
She was much pleased with her visit,
as also the young gents whose
hearts arc now all dropping DER her
absence.
Prof. Henry Farmer gave two or
three of his inimitable rendltions
upon the flute at the Concerto Tues
day evening. He is in the city for
several days, and will 60 to Law
renceburg.
The proceeds Of the two Concerts
amount to about 5000. This speaks
volumes in commentator Of Pu-
laski.

The Concerto.

1t would be wrong to personate.
All did admirably, beautifully, per-
fectly. AS we promised last week,
the entertainment Monday evening
was the most unique and interest
ing of any amateur performance
ever given in Pulaski. The old
styles by our new beauties created
a magnificent contrast, and just to
sit in the audience and look at the
stage, lined with row of anciently
attired women and 1776 men, all
bepowdered and bepuffed, with old
time finery fished up from grand
mas chest, starchy and simple, and
grand-pa's muster jackets and court
wig, was sufficiently interesting; but
the music was equally as beautiful,
being mostly old songs that were
composed before art supplanted mu-
sic and before skipping around on
the scale like man on trapeze
was substituted for melody. An
toinette Hall was almost full-a bet
ter audience than we have seen for
some time; and the universal opin-
ion Is that the concert far surpassed
anything ever exhibited in Pulaski
by amateurs-everybody satisfied
and delighted. The Concerto was
repeated Tuesday evening to a good
audience, with some changes.

Mr.. Cad Castleman is in the city
making arrangements to put up ma
chinery for the manufacture of Pur-
cells Spring Bed Bottoms. He has
a factory in Fayetteville, and the
papers there and many citizens
strongly recommend his Bottoms.
We hope he may meet the encour-
aoemept that will induce him to
come here, as it will not only in
crease business. but will enable .
great many people TO enjoy the lux
nry of sleeping upon bertrr beds.

Very few persons understand
what the Russians and Turks are
lighting about. When you relieve
the subject of the many hideous
names connected with it, it is very
plain, and this we shall attempt to
do. The Marquis of Hohenzollern-
SchliswiggIn announced the abro-
CATION of the protocol by which the
Car held Kischeneff under Petre-
witch domination, when Gortscha-
kof ordered Bestinak and Ungheni
to form in line under Gen. Rouma
MIA and seize the tobacco crop of
st. Domingo so that the extraditiOn
of Cardinal Ledochofski might not
menace the Powers with Ottomanic
autonomy. Count Schouvaloff Kali
afat counseled the Czarowitz to
ameliorate Bulgaria by guarantee
ing the stipulated arbitration of an
terror engagements, but CONSTANT
nople passed dog-law deploring
the solicitude of Christian heathen-
dom, and then the troops crossed
the Pruth at Tirespal and captured
the Porte's haversack full of love
letters, burning Tweed's confession
and precipitating a conference of
diplomatic animadversion upon
England's vasciliating mummery.
just at this point Turk hid in c
fence corner let his gun go Off and
scared the Russian army out of
Montenegro and the whole thing
fizzled out in dog-fght. Thus it
is that scrimmage win run rife while
the United States staunches the
wounds with dishrag.
