There is apparently a total disap
pearance of educational interest
from the people of this section. AS
an stration, there is but one
school, and that a small one, that IS
going on within or 10 miles of this
place. Nor do we know of any
other in anticipation. There are
many school houses through here,
but hardly one of them is in a com
Portable condition for winter
school. This is an unfavorable
symptom. The spirit of enterprise
manifcsts itself III almost every 9th
err direction. In passing over the
country from Minor Hill to Pros
pect we notice improvements going
on about nearly every farm house.
Lands are being cleared and new
fences erected, and the general as
pect Of things is better than has
been since the war. 1t has been
said boastingly by some one here
that this is one of the most solvent
communities in the county. The
people have good lands, good
houses and good stock, and are able
to send their children to school and
pay The tuition. But instead Of
that, they are trying to make out
with the public schools till times
get better. The public schools are
very inefficient As n consequence
of this waiting for better times, the
education Of many sons and daugh-
ters has been delayed until they are
becoming men and women with but
very little education. In this con
dition they are turned loose in tho
world TO shift for themselves. This
cannot be justified in n community
like this. Tuition Is low in proper
ton with the prices of every thing
else, and there are numbers of idle

Hymen on East Hill.

On Tuesday night last. at the res
lie &c of Mr.. Jno. F. Rose. the
nrdrs father, Mr.. }. Ed. Jackson
was united In the holy bonds of
natrimony to Miss Kate NJ. Rose
Il # Pulaski. At the appointed
II ar for the ceremony quite a num-
her of friends and relatives had
gathered in the parlor to witness
the Plighting of the VOWS of eternal
love and devotion. Soon the splen-
did figure of the groom was seen
cnt' rirs the door, bearing upon his
arm tit bride, one of the most love
ly and beautiful young ladies OF
Pulaski, accompanied by Mr.. ".
Trudeau and Miss Annabel Rose of
Dawrenceburg and Mr.. Curry Mccall
and Miss Belle Meredith. The GER
emory was beautifully and impress
sively pronounced by Rev DIR. Riv-
ers, who at the close offered his
hearty congratulations and invoked
divine blessings upon the young
couple, praying that the morning Of
their lives might always be cheerful
and happy, the MONDAY bright and
Joyous, and the evening serene and
blissiul. The costume of the bride
was elegant. She was dressed in
white.tarlatan with white silk bodice.
and upon her brow was handsome
garland of orange flowers, while
over the fair form draped a tulle
veil in cloud-like beauty, flowing
back To the floor-alI Of which well
accorded with her retiring modesty.
In short time all were invited
to the dining room, where were Ia
bles groaning with every luxury
known TO the domestic cuisens. But
we had as well stop, for we cannot
justly describe such feast, and will
leave it to the readers Imagination.
just before the throng dispersed
the brides cake was brought in to
be cut, and the ring fell to Miss
Ella Hill and the button to Mr..
Curry Mccall.
Preparations for q brilliant re-
cepton at Mr.. Jas, II. Jackson's

We extend to the happy pair our
hearty congratulations. May their
hopes, now so fraught with happi-
ness, in the end be fully realized

In the death of our young friend
Percy Sykes, Pulaski loses one of
her most promising young men
one to whom she looked with conf
dence as possessing those traits of
character, those elements of mind
and morals, that go to make the
useful man, and the worthy, honored
citizen. Percy was a model of mod
esty and integrity, a loving, obedi-
ent son, a genial, sunny companion,
"a warm, devoted friend and a gem
eral favorite among his associates,
all of whom will miss him. But no
one will miss him Ike mother. No
one ever fathomed the depths of
mothers love-a mothers devo-
ton to an only child-and no
words of consolation can penetrate
the gloomy depths of despair and
desolatiOn that enshrouds a moth
er's heart when her boy is taken
from her. But Percy's trust was in
Jesus, and some day mother and
son will meet again in the bright
and beautiful hereafter beyond the
stars, where there is no more parting
forever

l22 cases docketed for trial and %

for resuming the civil list, but the

gument commenced Tuesday eve
ming and is yet continued. A YER
dict will probably be rendered to-
day. There are l48 cases on this
docket, 46 of which are for carrying
pistols. Judge McLenore has an
arduous task before him to dispose
of 27O cases, civil and criminal, in
the short time allotted, but he has
demonstrated his ability to consum-
mate it, if it can be done at all.
