SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENTS

their compositions on Friday evening.
The teacher OF the school offered three
prizes, one to each of the divisions of
the school. On entering the school
room we We're astonished to see what
a change had taken place since we
last attended the readings. The house
was beautifully trimmed With ever
greens which were frightened by
neatly made rosettes arranged on the
projecting boughs. The walls were
hung with pictures, and three ever
green crosses reminded the pupils and
visitors that Christmas was near at
hand. We found that many of the
desks had submitted to the jack plain.
and that the tops of some of them
that had been cut and carved in times
past, had been removed and new ones
put in their place. In all of this we
saw that loving hearts and willing
hands were interested, and too much
praise cannot be bestowed upon the
children for trying to make their
school room look attractive.
The exercises were begun by sing
ing. Of the five judges selected by
the pupils to decide upon the merits
of the compositions, Messrs. Brown,
Mexican and Richards came and took
the chairs assigned them-Messrs.
Kroeber and Moriarty were not ablk
to come.
The pupils of the third division read
their compositions subject, 1.-THE Ear
ly History Of Pennsylvania" 1t was
amusing and instructive to note the
different modes of treatment. Some
made laughable statements in all the
simplicity and earnestness of youth.
Especial mention is made of the com
positions of Willie Kingsley, Eddie
Strauss, Mary Carrigan, Nellie Davis
and Naomi Smith.
Tie compositions on Richard III.
by members of the Cd division caused
a good deal Of amusement. All joined
in pronouncing him miserable, blood
thirsty wretch, and one little girl very
naively suggested that he was hunch
backed because he was so mean.
The compositions Of Mary Linstadt,
Anna Brodbeck, Mary Wallace, Net
tie Moulton and Hattie Foster are
worthy of special mention.
The compositions by the members
of the 1st Division were ON various
subjects. Moral education, by Miss
E. A. Kingsley, showed depth of
thought ard good arrangement. The
gossipping woman, by Isaac Lauer,
pointed out the fact that women of
this description are known and detest-
ed by boys of tender years. Isaac
read in clear, manly tones, and was
greeted with rounds of applause
Shakespeare, by Charles Stevenson,
was we'll worded and deserves praise
for clear views of this great man. Al
fred the Great was a rigorous bio
graphical sketch. The writer, w. s.
Galbreaith, must have read carefully
and then selected the gems of thought
Britain and the Roman showed that
its author, John P. Barry, was care
full, thoughtful student, and that he
had made this portion of English His
tory specially. Miss Lulu Miller
has clear views of the effects of the
Norman conquest, and her compost
ton was well arranged. Digestion,
by J. Garrett, pointed out the impor-
lance Of taking good care of the stom-
ach. Respiration, by John McGuin-
ness, was well handled. John seems
to understand the mechanical part Of
this common, though wonderful work.

The wires were put up Monday
afternoon and the Office of the a.
& p. Telegraph Co. opened in Pu-
laski, Mr.. G. T. (Dig.) Mason,
Operator The first dispatch sent
over the wires was as follows:
Hon. THos. A. KERCHEvAL, Mayor,
Nashville :-Pulaski sends greet
ings. Competition is the life OF
trade. DAVID S MARTIN, Mayor.
To which the following response
was made:
Hon. DAVID S. MARTIN, Mayor,
aski:-The City of Rocks ac-
cepts the very kind greeting of the
City of Pulaski through her Hon.
Mayor IN recognition of the extern
sion of the line of the A. d z. Tel.
Co., and trusts that it may never
bear you and your worthy city any
but good tidings.
THos. A. KERCHEvAL, Mayor.
Mr.. Mason is fixed in the office
Immediately over the south entrance
to Antoinette Hall and is already
kept pretty busy. A decline of
from so to rs per cent in the cost
of telegraphing is no little thing for
Pulaski. A message to any part of
the United States east of the Mis-
souri, River can be sent for % cents
before from so cents to $1.50. 1t
is also a considerable advantage to
Elkton.

Another Fine Hotel.

Pulaski never does anything by
halves. Although Mr.. Osborn is
already at work and will put up a
splendid hotel, another company of
gentlemen has been formed, stock
subscribed and the fact fully as
sured that a splendid hotel will be
at once erected on the west side.
About $4,000 stock has been sub
scribed to build that part of it on
the ground recently occupied by the
Alamo. The office, bar room, din
ing room, kitchen, ETC., will be here,
and the second story will extend
over the new house to be at once
built by Mr. Townsend on the north
and the Bank and Gov. Browns
building on the south. The Bank
and Mr.. Townsend both agree to
complete their buildings and lease
the second story to the hotel COM
pany, and Gov. Brown does the same
with his upstairs already built, so
that the fund subscribed will only
be used in completing that part on
the Alamo lot, which will be 100
feet deep and 80 feet front. The
hotel will comprise, besides office,
dining room, etc, 60 bedrooms,
and these will be very large and can
be. made into two each when occa-
sion requires. Capt. Wilkes is yet
undecided whether to build on his
lot north of Mr.. Townsend's. If
he does, the second story will also
form a part of the hotel. At
meeting of the projectors at Brown
& Wilkes office Monday evening
committees were appointed to pre-
pare a charter for the Hotel Com
pany, to perfect plan and specifl-
cations, and to secure more stock.
Next Saturday they meet to effect a
permanent organization as corpo-
ration. This will be the best hotel
Pulaski ever had, and in conjunc-
ton with Mr.. Osborn's, will redeem
Pulaski's name.

Mr.. w. b. Roberts was at church
Sunday for the first time in a year.
He has been out CD the streets a
time or two since OF course his
friends are glad of his Improvement,
but their anxiety has been source
of some annoyance to him. He is
exceedingly nervous and comes out
only for diversion of mind and for
recreation. To be met at every cor
ner therefore and questioned con,
corning his condition is anything
but pleasant to him. He requests
his friends not to allude to his
health, if they regard his wishes.

Parker's Store.

Faces bright and smiling greet us
on every side now since Providence
has favored us with those refresh
ing showers that are so pleasantly
reviving the whitening corn and
adding a freshness to vegetation
generally. Farmers had begun to
think that crops were going to be
cut short, but their fears are dis
PEELED for the present at least.
Wheat is looking very well, and that
sown on good land promises some
thing above the average yield. Early
sowing is beginning to ripen and
the grain seems to be as good as
common. Farmers are harvesting
their barley and cutting their clover
hay.
Tobacco merchants will not deal
so heavily next year. if consumers
of that article have any luck in rails
ing what the number of "slips" that
are being transplanted indicates.
1t is to be hoped that everybody
will raise enough for his own use,
and thus prevent so much ''terbac-
ker begging" in this community,
which has grown to be a perfect
nuisance.
A Sunday. school has been started
up at Hebron which we hope will
reach a permanent organization be-
fore long. The commencement is
almost an assurance of success
judging from the number of names
subscribed. Our pastor, w. Weak
ly, will take an active part in its or
ganization.
Mr.. Marcus White took the train
for Texas the other day in the in
terest of his newly patented cotton
and hay press. Success to his en-
terprise.
Mr.. David L. Reynolds visited
our village on business the other
day. Pity that the world does not
more than it does of such
men. l see that "Wild Flower" has
the name of our village.

New Orleans Picayune of Thurs
day: 1t gives Us genuine pleasure
to note the arrival at the ST. Charles
Hotel of ex-Gov. Jno. G. Brown, of
Tennessee. The Governor returns
to Louisiana to find a condition of
profound peace-the natural out
growth of the policy adopted by
the President, at the earnest solicit
tation of the members of the com
mission, of which Gov. Brown was
one of the most active and indefat-
igable members. 1t cannot but be
a source of qualification to him to
find his expectations and predic
tions so fully and quickly realized,
and we take this occasion to thank
him, in the name of the people OF
our State, for the sincere interest
he took In her welfare, and for the
conspicuous part he played in sc.
curing for her the right OF self gov
eminent. Gov. Brown will take
with him wherever he goes the
heartfelt wishes Of all Louisianians
for his welfare.

THE CYCLONE.
1t Visits Elkmont Springs and
Blows Down and UnrOOfs
Cabins.
Four Persons Buried Beneath
Chimney but Escape Alive.
Damage only $1,000.

A terrible whirlwind visited Elk
mont Springs last Friday evening
at $50 o'clock and in 30 seconds
wrought immense damage. 1t struck
the ground on the side Of the hill
near the road that leads up from
Elkton about 100 yards from the
yard fence, and stripped and twisted
the trees until it got to the ten pin
allev, which it blew down. 1t then
took q diagonal course across the
yard, laying the trees all level, and
struck DIR. Moores' cabin, complete
" demollshing it. 1t passed on,
unroofing Mr.. De. McCalluni' S cabin
and another one, blowing down two
kitchens and a smoke-house, made
a circuit around th,, old hotel build
ing and struck the new hotel, carry
ing away the east yeranda and tear
inc the wall out OF the ball room.
1t left no other signs after this.
DR.. Moores and three of his chill
dren were in his cabin and were
completely buried in the debris of
the chimney. The Doctor was GOV
cred with bricks except one hand
and with this he soon liberated him
self and commenced TO search for
the children. Guided by their
means, he soon found the first one,
little boy about seven, lying upon
his face not seriously hurt. In an
other place he found another
yomger boy greatly bruised but not
seriously hurt. Mr.. De. McCallum
arrived about this time, and they
commenced the search for the baby,
which they found under some 250
bricks, crushed perfectly lifeless.
The cradle in which it was lying
was crushed as fiat as if log had
been rolled over it. AS soon as the
baby was gotten into the air and the
bricks removed from it, it COM
menced to breathe, and is now APP
parently unhurt. DR.. Moores has
severe gashes on his head and the
children are all very badly gashed
and bruised, one of the little boys
legs being perhaps broken. Two
negroes in one of the kitchens were
blown over into the garden. 1t was
a log house and not one log was left
in position. No one else was in It's
track. DIR. Moores' furniture was
completely demolished, and the
fragments and his clothing, ETC.,
scattered and lost. The whole dam
age will probably be $1,000. Jas.
McCallum, Esq, was there but was
in house out of the track of the
terrible cyclone. The proprietors
have plenty of room yet, and are
fully prepared to entertain all who
may visit this pleasant resort. They
have been peculiarly unfortunate
and deserve the patronage Of pleas
ure seekers. DR.. Wilson went down
and came back Monday, and we
learn the above particulars from
him. He does not think any of
them are fatally injured. The cy-
clone scattered boards, planks, cloth
ing, ETC., around for half mile.

Our farmers long faces were
shortened about a quarter of an
inch last Tuesday morning by a
shower of rain, but it is evident
that they did not pray with the
faith of Elijah, for the shower did
not last long. But it has rained
again since and everything looks
refreshed and encouraging, and
every heart should bow in grateful
Acknowledgements to the Divine Be-
ing who has bestowed such bless
ings upon us. Our corn is small for
the time of year, but is looking well
considering the dry weather. Our
farmers have been zealously en-
gagged working out their crops pre-
paratory for wheat harvest, which
is now at hand. Mr.. NJ. Worsham
has a nice field that will be ready to
cut in few days, which is the ear
lest in the neighborhood. He also
has his thresher ready for business.
We wish him success, as biscuit will
DE very acceptable. We are not
feasting very highly on beans and
Irish potatoes.
We notice there are no peaches in
some places. In that respect we
are ahead, for our trees are full;
consequently there are great many
peach pies in contemplation.
Mr.. S. H. Strickland and lady
babe their friends and relatives
adieu a short time since and went to
Join their children in Texas, who
had preceded them. They have

nifty, and we feel that we have lost
our best neighbors. We cannot
find adequate language to express
our wishes for their success, and
hope to welcome them again in our
midst. Mr.. II. G. Worley is again
in our community. We hope he
will continue with US, for we are
glad to welcome such worthy gen
tleman. Mr.. Levi McClendon of
Missouri is visiting his relative, Mr..
ID. f. McClendon. We wish him
pleasant visit, but how could it be
otherwise while he is the guest Of
so hospitable a family. They al
ways treat their friends well and try
to make their visits pleasant
Our quarterly meeting commences
on Thursday night before the third
Sunday in this month, when we ex-
pect several good sermons and per-
haps some good singing, as we have
a splendid leader. We are. sorry
that we are going to lose another Of
our good neighbors. Mr.. Mark
Buchanan has sold his farm to DIR.
Wilson and contemplates going to
Texas. We hope he will meet with
kind friends.
Our neIghborhood has been great
ly excited for the past few weeks
over another new washing machine.
Some of our young ladies have
given it a fair trial and find il is
good for blistering hands if nothing
else; hut we think Mr.. NJ. Wor-
sham's patent soap greatly excels il,
for it washes with but very little la
Dor; but if you have the machine
and soap both, they will wash,
starch and iron, and fellow has TO
do about smartly to keep them from
putting the clothes on hun.
