Parkers Store.

Parker's Store.
The festive season was opened at
Mr.. Scion Hamlett's on the evening
of the 23rd of Nov. by a social Civ
en- in honor of visit of Miss Mol
lie Tidwell, one OF Pulaski's fairest
bellies. Several OF our young PEG
pie assembled TO participate in the
fun of candy pulling, among whom
were the Misses Salhe and Amanda
Vaughan and Miss Ann +. Chap
man of Parker's Store, whose
charms enhanced the interest of
the occasion. Miss It's bewitch-
ing smiles and captivating manners
caused the hearts of the boys to leap
with Joy and their bosoms to heave
with delightful emotions-in fact,
one fellow has to acknowledge him
self a victim already. Doubtless
his business will lead him in that
direction ere long. Circumstances
prevented your correspondent from
attending, but the kind ladies of
the family remembered us and sent
their compliments in the shape of
cake and candy, to which we did
ample justice and for which they
have our thanks. Miss Fannie
Parker returned from Columbia lssS
week, accompanied by Mr.. Porter
Carter of Lynnville, who is spending
a few days in this neighborhood
hunting, and he is initiating Master
Allison in Nimrod mysteries. Mrs.
Puryear (aunt Pollie) has gone to
North Carolina, visiting relatives.
We wish her a pleasant journey.
Miss Ella Inmon has also returned
to her home in Alabama, accompa
MED by Mr.. j. L. Puryear. Quite
a number of people were visiting in
this neighborhood in the last few
days, but their names are too tedi-
Gus to mention now. Heretofore
our Immediate peightorhood has
been remarkable for its quiet way
of doing up matrimony and other
local affairs. Nothing remarkable
has ever happened to change the
dull monotony or create a lively
sensation until recently, when there
came from one of the txiShtaYies of
Weakley's creek a fine looking, u
well TODD young widower, who was
successful in winning the heart and
engaging the hand of one of our
faIrest young ladies. The time for
celebrating the nuptials was fixed,
and like all other worshippers at
Cupid's shrine, he doubtless looked
with pleasant anticipations' to the
time when the portals of welded
bliss would be thrown open and he
could enjoy her sweet smiles for
life, when To-! another gentleman
steps in upon the scene, changes the
rele and bears of the prize in three
or four days after he puts in an APP
pearance. The case develops an
old love affair-supposed death or
unaccountable absence-happy re-
union and a happy marriage. This
love making in other days had never
got into the possession of gossip
mongers, hence its secrecy. We
had been waiting patiently for de
velopments and hardly believe that
our community could afford a ro-
nance in real life, but the tidings
came that Mr.. G. V. Nelson and
Miss Mollie Puryear were married
at the residence of the brides moth
er, at nine o'clock Sunday morning,
the ceremony being performed by
the Rev. ID. Rodenhamcr. The at
tendants were Mr.. G. G.. Vaughan
and Miss Allie Puryear, Mr.. J. ii.
Rogers and Miss Adnie Alternately.
Immediately after the cermony the
happy PAIR and attendants repaired
to Mr.. Clay Crows in Pulaski,
where a grand reception was await
ing them, TO which, it is said, they
did sufficient honor A vacancy
has been created in our society that
none can fill. We cheerfully sub
NIT and wish her a happy journey
through life. The boys put up in
city style and took a walk next
morning to enjoy the fresh air and
went to a sal forgot, but two
glasses OF wine will fly to a fellows
head, you know, especially II taken
on an empty stomach. The bridal
party will repair to Lewisburg,
Marshall county, in a few days,
where they will locate.
Mr.. G. II. Cameron has reached
the climax % his love and consum
mated his bright and hlisslul antic-
ipations by plucking one of Lynn
ville's fairest flowers, and trans
planting her to his Eden like home,
to brighten his Preside and cheer
him in his lonely hours. May they
successfully stem the vicissitudes of
life, safely ride life's rough seas and
anchor in the calm beyond. He
married Mss Anna Knox of Lynn
vile, and the silken knot was tied
by Bro. Weakly of Elkton Station.
The attendants were Mr.. Porter
Carter and Miss Fannie Parker, Mr..
J. II. Rogers and Miss Minnie Knox,
Jesse Alternately and Miss Lavisa
Knox. The attendants at the re-
ception were Mr.. j. Knox and Miss
Fannie Gilbreath. 9. &. Vaughan
and Miss NJ. 5. Gilbreath, Misses.
Ellen Davis and Ella Cannon. Not
withstanding the inclemency Of the
weather a large crowd of relatives
and friends met at the reception TO
congratulate him upon his success
in making a benedict of himself,
and TO partake Of his sumptuous
feast. The affair was grand. Girls
were pretty and charming and cap
tivated more hearts than one
Everything was lovely and went rs
lively as you please. dow con-
selling is the thought that there are
as good fish in the sea IS has ever
been caught, aud it doesn't take
golden bait 70 catch them either.
