Parker's Store.


The moral status of Pleasant
town, little village situated about
two miles north of here, is being
somewhat improved now. A Sun
day-school has been organized there
by Mr.. Robert Dickey and Others
who have an interest in the welfare
of the community. We hope that
the institution will prosper and
bring all the children within its
pale. That is one of the needful
things in our little village. We
have all the facilities here for a
first-class school if the people would
take advantage of them. We could
easily enlist hundred scholarship
making the effort and manifesting a
proper interest in the matter. PEG
pie never get too old to learn, and
it would be a grand sight to see old
ladies and gentlemen composing a
Bible class. Let the old ones make
the start and the young ones will
surely follow.
Mrs. J. NJ. Parker is spending
few days with her sister in MaQry
county. Mr.. Wesley Wick smiled
on us one day last week. He looked
as pleasing as basket of chips and
expressed wish FOR the time for
bacon and cabbage to come.
Some of our young ladies went
to Wales Station the other day and
took a boat ride on the placid wa
tiers of Richland. Mr.. j. Nj. Har-
wood acted in the capacity of cap
tain and pilot too, and rnmor has it
that he did things up nicely.
Parker's store and vicinity were
we'll represented at Rock Springs
church yesterday, and that too by
our best looking young ladies and
gentlemen.
The festive people of Pleasant
Valley with a few from this neigh
borhood had a very nice croquet
party at Mr.. w. I. Abernathy's last
Saturday. Beauty, wit and grace

A man named Ward got mad at
his mule some time ago in Lawrence
county and cursed it, and Criminal
Court fined him and took the mule
from him and it was sold on the
square in Pulaski last Saturday. 1t
is an outrage. he is a poor man
with large family, has a crop in
and this was his only mule. The
next time we go to the Legislature
well make it lawful for a man to
curse his mule. Wen go further

We have nothing remarkable to
write you this time, but we will give
You a sketch of the passing events.
As the weather this week has been
exceedingly beautiful and the breez-
es bracing, everything has moved
on in joyous harmony. The carol
OF the farmer, returning from his
daily labor at twilight, reverberates
from hill and dale, and seems to
portray to the spectator, who takes
an evening stroll at tbs time, that
happiness if anywhere to be found
would be at the farmers rustic
home, far away from the hurrvino
and busting throng of town or city.
lis here where the farmer spends
his evenings reading the county
news unmolested. lis here he can
raise in abundance grain, fruits and
vegetables, and have free access to
all the products of the soil. IT'S
here he can have well improved
farm. with blue grass and clover
pastures, upon which feed in differ
ent localities herds of cattle, mules.
horses, swine and sheep. These
are the blessings of a country life,
and such is the condition of the
prosperous farmer in this section.
Mr.. D. G. S. of our neighboring
village has recently been promoted. |
He now has large Sunday school |
class at Bee Spring. We learn that
he has become very pioGs. We i'm

the day very pleasantly playing
under the shade of the

do for such amusements. The last
account we had of our merchant he
was hunting.
Prof. G.. and Mr.. Cliff left this
place Friday evening to visit some
of Elkton's faircst daughters. They
report that they had quite a pleas

always gets loose at certain place.

How foolish you were not to sell
your wheat while the war fever was
raging. Plenty of men actually
waited for better prices and will
now sell for SO or IS cents less.
We saw a farmer Saturday who
had just taken nine CITIZENS out of
the office. He has some wheat and
is sorry he didn't sell it. If be had
read his paper he might have sold
his wheat and made enough money
to pay for the CITIZEN q lifetime.

The Fayetteville Express takes
us seriously TO task for our remarks
upon its 3S-man convention that
tried to speak for some fifteen thou
sand voters. We do not wish to
dispute with the Express and we
mean no disrespect to the honest
men who differ with US. Neither
did we call them idiots, but we
characterized one resolution as idi-
otto, because, in asserting that the
people had rights as well as the
bondholders, it asserted wha. no one
denied, and implied that somebody
or thing was trying to deprive them
of their rights. We believe that
Tennessee would be stretching her
honor almost to the breech to ac-
cept the 60 cents proposition, so
called. Did it ever occur to the
Express and its 81 regulators that
the bondholders never made any
proposition? The Arbiters were
not appointed by the bondholders
with any power to propose Il com
promise. They expressly stated
they had no such power, but were
asked to investigate and report what
was best for all parties to do, $50
that both parties should accept or
reject it as they pleased" The
bondholders have never said yea
nor nay to this 80 cents as vet.
Even these arbiters only represented
nine or ten millions of bonds, and
they saw from the drift of public
opinion being manufactured for the
occasion by the leading soreneads
and thoughtless demagogues of the
State and from the silly talk of
Chairman Savage in the Committee,
reputation was not an impossible
ity. This forced them to terms.
They first proposed reduction of
the interest. The Savage Commit
tee turned up its nose They then
proposed go cents. Savage said
he would do them the favor to re-
port it to the Legislature, but that
he would oppose it personally and
that body would reject it. They
stood then and stand now, afraid to
object, in the attitude of a dog
for bone and expected to
hear, stake that or nothing, you

biters said to the Savage Commit
tee in effect, you considered your

The following very compliment
airy but just resolution in relation
to one of our best citiseas was
passed at recent meeting by the
Board of Trustees of Martin Col
Iege:
RESOLVED, That we hold in high
est estimation the many social vir
tues of Prof. W. K. Jones, and hav
ing become acquainted with him in
the capacity of President of Martin
College, which position he held for
some two years, we are prepared
and glad to say that we found in
him a gentleman of thorough liter
airy culture, eminent in all the re
quisites of n teacher or professor
and manager of college of any
magnitude. We learn with regret
that be contemplates removing from
our midst, and, unsolicited, we feel
that his many excellent qualities
demand and our people will endorse
these sentiments as embodying the
esteem in which he is universally
-
held; and We especially commend
him to the people among whom he
may locate as Christian gentle
man, a thorough scholar and reli-
able man.
RESOLVED, That the Secretary
present Prof. Jones q copy of this
resolution under the seal of the
Board.
1t will be . source of universal
regret to our people to learn that
Prof Jones contemplates accepting
the principalship of a college at
Dallas, Texas. Pulaski will feel
his loss if he concludes to go, which
we hope he will not do.

Rev. Thos. B. Malone preached
at the Methodist church last Sun
day night. We are glad to find
him so much in love with his new
calling, and hope he may become a
bright and shining light to the
Church. 1t was not such great
step from the tripod to the pulpit,
az some people may imagine. An
editor is a preacher, and his infu-
ence for good or evil is great. II
he is conscientious he must feel his
responsibility.
