Q. p. GORDON, sscsstary.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1877-08-02

There was no strike on the Fay
etteville Railroad. The brakeman
held a meeting and concluded that
though his wages were as the grass
of the field, not worth mentioning,
he could make up on picking black
berries as the train was running
through the barrens. He might
have been worked into a frenzy like
the balance of his brethren, but he
didn't hear the news in time. His
train started out from Fayetteville
the Friday before the strike and did
not get into Decherd until Tuesday
week. They happened to have two
passengers ON board who helped to
push the train through. The en-
gineer, fireman, brakeman and con
ductor ire all named John Smith,
or Bill Jones, sleep in the same
bunk, wear the same boots-in fact,
they are the same fellow-and when
they hold meeting there is not a
dissenting voice. If he had struck,
it would have been bad on the
farmers, but as he didn't, they will
have another train some time this
summer to take out the wheat crop.

BY invitation, DIR. C. G. Aberna-
thy delivered a lecture upon Elec-
tricity before Prof. Clack's school
and the citizens at Aspen Hill
last Friday night. Most of our
citizens have heard him upon that
subject in Pulaski and know that he
handles it, as he does everything
else, with a master hand. His au-
dience was greatly pleased. After
his address, Capt. James r. Grove
was called for and responded in a
way peculiar to himself and which
never fails to interest and amuse.
Then DIR. Thos. Is. Harwell respond
ed to a call and briefly addressed
the audience. He is said to have
been in one of his happiest moods,
which warrants us in saying that
his remarks were az fat and emil
nently pleasing. This inaugurates
a series of lectures which Prof.
Clack will cause to be delivered
there. The next will be more wide
ly advertised.

We are having some splendid
warm weather at this time-so
warm that paper collar isn't worth
cent. You need not expect any.
thing very strange or exciting from
this vicinity now, as nothing has
TRANSFERRED to make a man pull of
his coat and roll up his sleeves. So
much has been said about the
weather and the farming interests
in general that it is useless to at
tempt anything more on that sub
ject. Suffice it to say that we are
all through threshing and about
through blowing. The turnout of
wheat bad, but tolerable prospect
for a corn crop.
There was picnic given by the
good people of Folks Creek last
Friday, and the writer had the
pleasure of being one of the invited
guests. Every one seemed to enjoy
it, both old and young. tell you,
Mr.. Editor, if the table didn't groan
that day there is no such thing as
having too heavy a load on any
thing. Box after box was opened
until the snow white table cloths
were completely obscured from ones
view. From the quantity that was
left, it reminded me of the loaves
and fishes. / tell you it was good
to be there, especially when there
was so much good to eat, and so
many pretty young ladies upon the
grounds. Miss Emma Johnson of
Mooresville, Miss Laura Fitzpatrick
of Culleokv and Miss Emma Braden
of Columbia were the young ladies'
from a distance. There were many
brave hearts that went pit-a- pat
that day, for the number of angelic
faces that were present were enough
to try hearts of all brave men.
That highly accomplished and es-
Unable lady, Mrs. Dru Organ of the
grand old Lone Star State, with her
two pretty little children Katie and
Bonnie, is visiting her friends and
relatives in this vicinity. Mrs. Or
gan was formerly of Giles county.
She taught school for some time in
this neighborhood, and none knew
her but to love her May her stay
be long and pleasant.
