say that the canine tribe in our
Burg are taking advantage of the
season-certainly this is a great
rendezvous for them. A multitude
of them, with natures heavily
charged with pugnacious inclina-
tions, daily assemble con the hill''
to challenge to toothly combat fel
lows of like disposition, or per
chance to move off with grandeur
and rapidity, while his caudal APP
pendage slightly encountered with
an oyster cup filed with stones,
beats to the rapidity of his dog
ships lightning pace. Were it not
for the dog fights our village would
collapse with lassitude. We have
them of all kinds and proportions
Big dogs and little dogs, bark
ing dogs, growing dogs, and some
! biting dogs, old dogs and young
dogs, black dogs and ''yaller pups, "
lazy dogs and energetic dogs, dogs
with short tails and dogs whose
narrativical appendages are quite
in excess. Yes, we are going to get
up a doggery where the male por-
ton of our population-a dog-mati
cal fact, (as Sans SOuci informs us J
daily congregate to dog-matize. We
agree with her that it is a doggish
mean thing in the men to leave the
women at home ga humming" while
they( the men )are having.a dog gone
good time in their revels of"self-wor-
ship" But pardon our longevity
on dogs and with a dog-trot speed
Wen close up the subject, tho there
are good many dog like things we
might touch up.
The contemplated club is still on
the tapis and 1 guess it will stay
there as women are its instigators.
Mrs. Jennie Gilbert of Gourds-
vile, Ala, in charge of her little
daughters and DIR. Theo. Westmore
lands children moved to Pulaski
on last Friday where they will re
side. She goes there to educate the
children at Martin College-she is
an elegant lady, refined and social,
and the loss in the social circle as
we'll as in the room of the sick and
afflicted, to whom she was ever
ready to administer, will be sadly
deplored. We know that her WIN
ming manners and social disposition
will gain her many friends in Pulas-
Xxi.
DR.. Westmoreland will also leave
us soon to move TO Pulaski. He
will enter into partnership with DR..
Frank Grant in the practice of his
profession. DR.. w. has lived at
Prospect for nearly twenty-five
years, and has been the very foun
dation of our village. de is a man
of many noble traits of character
and no man in this end of the coun
ty stands higher with the people.
His native talent coupled with an
experience of over twenty years,
renders him a physician of the high
est rank. We feel that we are los
ing the very backbone of energy,
enterprise and progress from our
village. While we regret his loss,
we cheerfully recommend him to
the confidence and patronage of the
people of Pulaski with whom he
will cast his lot.
We are happy to relate that our
distinguished friend Sans Souci is
still convalescent! How fortunate
that her physical stamina was sufli
cient to stand up under the 'stun-
ner'' that she modestly conceives
that was dealt her! Oh! Smile
but once and give us a kind word
to lift our dropping head, which has
bowed low since we read her pitiful
misanthropical letter. We did not
think she was overrated-it were
wasteful and ridiculous excess to
attempt
"To gid refined gold,
To paint the lily,
To throw a perfume on the violet,
Or add another hue to the rainbow
How could she have supposed
that we wished 'to take her imp
Her four days revel in solitude and
Ennui" have caused her to grow su-
perfuously suspicious and nissan
thropical." We know that most
maidens like moths are taken in by
glare, but we considered her too
progressive to "be taken i'm by such
chat.
Well, if
"of all hard things to bear and grin
The hardest is knowing you are taken il.
Harder still to endure and grin
Is knowing you were but hadn't or'ter BEEN"
We must admit that she is a pro-
gressive thinker and writer! She
talks lightly of matrimony! She
regards lifetime intimacies great
boresT She writes specifically of
wedlock? She addresses apostro-
Plies to matrimony that are dire
enough to chill the natures of her
own sex! While we admire a spir-
it of progress we cannot endorse
her ideas on the subject. They are
too precocious for the age! We
have not evoluted sufficiently far
vet as TO undervalue or disregard
in any particular, an institution
which is heaven born, and the very
foundation of religion, happiness
and protection. They SAVIOR too
strongly of the sentiments set forth
by two leading spirits of sheet
that has as its motto
Free and untrammeled lives"
We certainly are mistaken in the
%pusson." These are not the sen
timents Of young girls generally.
In our haste to grow mighty we
too often step outside the proper
pale. A word 70 to the wise is suf-
ficientl
