The Pulaski Reading Club is be-

The Pulaski Reading Club is be-
coming more and more interesting
every week. 1t met Tuesday night
in the parlors of the St. Giles,
and the exercises of the eve
ming far surpassed anything of the
kind ever witnessed in Pulaski.
Judge L. M. Jones presided over
the meeting by appointment of the
President, Mrs. Jno. T.. Brown, and
Col. +. L. TailIaferro was chosen
Secretary, DIR. G. G. Alternately, the
regular secretary, being absent. The
programme was opened by the rem
dering of the Danube Waltz by
Messrs. Rodes and Werren on the
violin and piano. Judge Tinnon
then read with fine effect a selection
from Bret Harte entitled, Further
Language from Faithful James," af-
ter which Mrs. j. II. Russell sang
beautifully "Prime Vara." Next
followed Jean Ingelows "Song of
the Sevens," which was recited most
elegantly. The first period, the age
OF seven years, was represented by
little Mabel Buford; the second,
seven times two, by Minnie Brown
the period when the young girls
hopes were brightest, and ali her
joys were yet to be realized. The
next at the age of twenty-one was
by Miss Maud Edmundson, where
the young lady was just entering
upon womanhood She was anX-
iously awaiting the coming of her
betrothed whom she was about to
wed. Seven times four was repre-
scented by Mrs. Il. w. Ewing, the
mother, who was looking with joy
and pride upon her two beautiful
children. Then the widow, seven
times five, by Mrs. Jno. G. Brown,
mourning the loss of her husband
who had gone to sea, never more TO
return. The age of forty two was
also represented by Mrs. Ewing,
when the fond mother was called
upon to give her daughter in mar
riage-an hour Of trial which she
could hardly endure. Last came
the aged woman, seven times seven,
which was represented by Miss Liz
zie Caldwell. She was left all alone
in her griefs and sorrows; all her
birds had flown from their nest, and
the object of her affections from
youth up had anchored his barqde
on the eternal shore, and she longed
to join the loved ones who were at
rest. After this a duet, "Back to
our Mountains" was admirably
sung by Mrs. Brown and Miss Alice
Campbell. Then followed a beauti-
full quartette, "Not Dead, but Sleep
eth," by Mrs. Brown and Miss
Campbell and Messrs. Ed Sumpter
pnd Pink Ezell. Miss Maud Ed
mundson then rendered with splen-
did effect "The Waiting Heart" af
ter which the club adjourned. 1t
is impossible to give the particular
praise each one deserves. Suffice it
to say that they all acquitted them
selves splendidly indeed, and the
occasion was one of great pleasure
to all who were present. We must
not forget to mention that the en-
tire programme was interspersed
with the most delightful instru-
mental music by Messrs. Rodes
and Werren.

ne refreshing rain which fell on
Monday night, (13th, was gladly
welcomed by our agric1lturists, and
enlivened eYerythn ing to a consider
able extent. have noticed, since
my last letter to the CITIZEN that
the wheat in this vicinity has taken
the rust considerably, and bounti-
full yield is quite beyond the antici-
patton of our farmers. The fruit
crop, however, is still very promis
ing. Several of our northeast b.
denham gentlemen and ladies en-
joyed themselves greatly at a party
given at Prof Tett Watts. Your
correspondent arrived in due time.
(Our most gallant beaux including
many representatives of the fair
sex, were present. A banquet
which would have competed with
that of Belshazzar was prepared,
and amid laughing eyes and joyous
smiles, all went merry as a marriage
bell. The festivities being ended,
all turned their attention to the
dance until the radiant light of
the dawn of day compelled them
to desist. Our young friend
Mr.. Milton E. Digger, sports the
handsomest new suit Of the season.
Miss Bena CRildress, a handsome
and accomplished young lady OF
Pulaski, is visiting at Mr.. j. w.
Parker's of this place. We wish
herm long and pleasant visit while
among us. Our young friend, Mr..
@. La. Fayette Witt, of this place,
in company with Messrs. Howard,
Williamson and Lasseter of Wales,
started last Tuesday on a fishing
excursion to Swan lake, Ala. We
wish them a pleasant trip and a safe
yreturn. Maury county is represent
ed in Giles this week by Miss Mat
tie Digger, modest and much re
fined young lady who is visiting her
aunt, Mrs. w. Whitson, of this
place. We wish her visits may be
repeated often, as such grace and
beauty is rarely beheld. Prof j.
bud. Hamlet of Wales Station waa
smiling in our town few evenings
since.
We had the pleasure of attending
a series af gospel sermons at Coun
ty Line on Weakley's creek, last
Sabbath, Ministers Johnston and
Lasseter officiating. / am autho-
rized to announce that Rev. r. w.
Seay will preach at the new church
on Wealkley's creek, first Sabbath
in June. Let every one come and
hear him. Our enterprising mer-
chant, Mr.. j. w. Parker, returned
from Nashville a few weeks ago
with a new stock. His polite clerk,
Mr.. Newt. Wood, gets lots of bou-
quets. May 18th. CUPID.

Our enterprising farmer, Mr.. c.
o Bull, has wheat ready for the
reaper, and will harvest it in few
days. What his expectations are
as to the yield we have not yet
heard. Miss Sue Bull gave a straw
berry supper some time since; the
guests all departed at fashionable
hour save one who fingered to hear
how the BOOSTERS crowed in that
part of town. DIR. AT. Alternately
of Lewisburg is down visiting his
many friends in this and the Pros
pect neighborhood. Messrs. Atha
Baugh and Ed. Copeland came
down Saturday on a short visit;
they arrived in time to hear the
"Seven Star" debating club make
some fine vocal music in a grand
seienade. The principal songs were
Carve that 'possum," sole Aunt
Jemina," etc. Messrs. Davenport
and holland made sad havoc among
the Red Horse again. Jim. Ed.
Reeves says he has turned out his
moustache. We reckon he is right
about it, but they haven't made their
appearance yet. We could very
appropriately use Wakes express
sion but fearing a repetition of fool
ishness would not meet with your
appreciation, we will close.

The cold, chilly winds from the
north, accompanied by slight frosts
last week were the source of consid-
cradle excitement to the farmers,
and fears were entertained that
crops generally would be seriously
1 injured. Fortunately no damage
was done, and Jack Frost will have
to defer his visit until next fall.
Peaches promise an abundant yield,
but apples are scarce. We were
visited by considerable wind and
rain storm last Saturday night, and
in its earliest stages our denizens
thought that it would assume huge
proportions, but the God of the
wind concluded otherwise.
unintentionally failed to men
ton in my last weeks letter the
death of Miss Mollie Carol, which
occurred at Lynnville a short time
since, and was buried at Mr.. +. NJ.
Campbell's in the family graveyard.
AS she has been associated with
this community all of her life, she
is entitled to a mention here. She
was a member of the Nj. Z. Church
at Hebron, and lived consistent
with her profession. She was
about 10 years Of Gge and an or
phan; her death was caused by that
king of terrors, consumption.
Mr.. James Flautt has returned
from a visit to relatives in Missis-
sippi. He looks none the worse for
his trip.
Messrs. Gill Williamson, John
HARDWOOD, Gray Hopkins of Wales,
General Witt, of Bohemian, and
Charlie Vaughn, of this place, went
angling to the lake in North Ala
bama last week. They anglsd into
Elk river on account Of the unsafe
condition Of the bridge. General

team across the rolling pillows by

twenty-five cents in the crowd.

Criminal Court will adjourn to-
day. The last case on the docket is
being tried as we go to press. This
is the State against Leroy Davis
charged with the murder of w. j.
Williams at Samuel's Mills some
months ago. Since our last report
the following cases have been dis
posed of, to-wit: Henry Smith, col
ored, sent to penitentiary three
years for grand larceny; Bill Cald-
well, cold, six years for horse steal
ing; Geo. Washington, cold, eight
years for same; Bill Jordan, cold,
thirteen years for murder in second
degree; Alex EVERY, cold, two
years for petit larceny; Walter Fish
err six months in work house for
same. This is the last term of the
Criminal Court. Henceforth the
circuit and criminal dockets will be
tried by the same court. This can
now be done very easily, as both
dockets are comparatively clear.
j. w. Reddick for wife murder
was sentenced to be hanged on the
2Sth of June next, and appeal taken
to the Supreme Court.

The subjects of water works and
fire engines have been agitated
considerably since the late fire.
This follows every fire as a matter
of course. Money spent, however,
for steam fire engine in Pulaski
would in our opinion be a profitless
investment without water works,
and l0ih water works, such as we
can have here with a reservoir on
forO hill, there would be no neces-
sity for an engine. Water could
then be thrown with great force at
least hundred feet high from a
fire plug on the street. Many are
disposed to disparage the chemical
extinguishers we now have, without
taking into consideration the fact
that those who manage them are in
experienced and undrilled; and its
effectiveness is greatly impaired by
the want of system and proper man
agement. If we had a steam fire
engine and plenty of water it would
be discovered at the first fire that
the same difficulties would over
whelm us. A steam fire engine is
perfectly useless without water,
which we have not, and equally so
without a well organized fire depart
meut, which is simply impossible
in Pulaski. Fire companies are eff
lectiYe because. they are,well organ
lied, perfectly drilled, continually
in practice and work Systematically
under clear and cool management
Such companies cannot be sustain
ell in small towns like Pulaski.
They must be well paid. But with a
reservoir on Fort Hill, steam en-
CINE at Cave spring, pipes well dis
tributed through town, and plenty
Of plugs and hose, we could bid de
tiance to fires, steam fire engines
chemical extinguishers and insur
Gnce companies, ana enjoy not only
the Consciousness of SECURITY, and
the many oonveniences that water
facilities would afford about ouI
homes, such as bath rooms, &c, but
the relief from the burdens of insu
rance would soon pay for the priv
ileges and Injuries thus secured.

We saw about a dozen tramps
pass through here a few days since
men, women and children. One
little fellow attracted our attention
and enlisted our sympathy. He
was about a hundred yards behind
the company, singing on the high
est key
"Well we will not try to spell it."
The mother, who had in her arms
another about year old, responded
frequently, Come along johnnie,
don't cry honey" They called at
most houses begging bread. A
man, passing their camp the next
morning, saw enough bread on a
large stump to feed several fatlings.

A young NJ. d. of Pulaski per
formed his first surgical operation
the other day, and received as fee
therefor the prettiest pointer pup
you ever saw. The operation was
skillfully performed and merited
this fattering recognition and hand
some reward. To be Frank there
is no reward so excellent, none so
fattering to a young Doctors vani-
ty,none so highly priced by the pro
fession, and none so valuable in
promoting the interest of surgery,
as a well marked, properly trimmed
POINTER pup.

lne wheat prospect has improved
VASE, -, -. this county as in all 9th
ers that we have heard from, ana
still continues TO improve. Some
crops are damaged beyond recovery
but the general conclusion now IS
that'the yield will be a great deal
better than was anticipated only a
few weeks ago. Some of 1t is al
ready ripening for the sickle and
gre MANY days more the reapers
will be moved out and a practical
solution of the wheat problem will
be made. Until then no definite
knowledge of the yield can possibly
be obtained.
