Mr.. Bob. Shapard, one Of the best
merchants Pulaski ever had, is with
Mr.. W. T. Mccall, just under the
CITIZEN Office. He has hundreds
of friends in the county who will be
glad to trade with him again. He
is in a good house where they have
large stock of new goods and sell
as cheap as anybody. Call and
trade with him some.
Tom. Flippin says that Field
Vaughn went to the country the
other day and eat quart of plums
and they worked him back to town,
twelve miles. Field wishes to 90 to
Nashville and Tom is taking up a
subscription to buy the plums to
work him up there.
-
Uncle Pleasant says that Mr..
Creed has the advantage of him.
He has never yet caught Creed at
work. He comes up town before
sun up and goes back at dark to
escape the sun and never ventures
out in the sunlight except to go fish
ing, and that is lazy mans de
light.
Jessee Paine, cold, suffered a Sc
we're injury at Mr.. John Aymett's
thresher last Tuesday. His hand
became entangled in the gearing
and was drawn between the cog
wheels, the cogs literally tearing to
shreds his four fingers. Drs. Stump
ter d Alternately were sent for and
took of the fingers at the knuckles.
Our old friend, w. NJ. Hardeman,
has been experimenting against gar
den insects, and says bone dust will
effectually destroy them. Sprinkle
the dust on the plant affected by
them early in the morning when the
dew is on them, and if the root is
attacked scratch or dig down TO it
and apply the bone dust. 1t will
do the work-even to the flea bug.
Eleven of Rev. j. NJ. Marks dairy
cows, one fine English short horn
heifer and three half Jersey calves
have died of that mysterious dis
ease and actually broken up his
dairy. He has one more COW and
calf sick. He had just about sue
ceeeded in establishing his dairy
upon a paying basis. We do not
hear of the disease anywhere else.
DIED.-At his residence two miles
north OF Pulaski, on Friday, 30th
June, 1877, Mr.. Alfred c. w. White,
aged about 20 years.
Mr.. White was one of the oldest,
staunchest citizens of Giles county
An honest Christian. His loss
will be felt in the community and
it will be especially severe upon his
family, for whom we entertain pro
foundest sympathy.
Little Ro. Lewis, son of Mr.. w.
G. Lewis, was the most precocious
boy Prof. Jones ever taught. He
started a year ago at cab, alb,
and in two sessions, or ten months,
finished the spelling-book and was
in the first dictionary class, and up
in other studies in proportion. Ro.
has never been found still except
when asleep.
What a reception Maj. Pink
Bledsoe must have met with when
he went home last Friday evening
He allowed Prof Andrews to shin
Gle his hair and his head looked like |
an inflated bladder when he got
tbrough-slick and hairless. He
had heavy whiskers and beauti-
full suit of hair when he came to
town, and when he left his head and |
face were as nude as dutch baby's |
back.
