Bethany.

AS the New Year ushe-ed in up.
on us, it brought on its glad wings
some of our most highly esteemed
friends; among whom we mention
DIR. E. FL. Stevenson. To be with
ELAN does indeed refresh memory
with the halcyon days of yore, when
as school children together we dal-
lied among garlands of flowers up
on the sun lit hills of Bethany.
must confess that it gives me great
pain to pen the serious illness of
Mrs. Matte Patterson. Her health
has been very feeble for some time
and seems that it does not improve
much; but we do seriously and
prayerfullyhope that something m ay
be done that will prove an effectual
cure and speedy recovery. The
health of Mrs. A. NJ. Wilson has
been very feeble for several weeks,
but she is now convalescent. In
fact there has been a great deal Of
sickness in our community a thing
OF uncommon occurrence.
Among the pleasurable scenes of
the pest we mention the recent Wis
it paid US by two of Elkton's fair
damsels, Misses Lizzie and Minnie
Beatty. After spending a week in
our midst they returned home, ac-
companied by two of their much be-
loved school-mates. Misses Lizzie
and Charlie McLaurlne.
Mr. Thomas. G. Jones recently
sold his farm, consisting of about
200 acres to Messrs. Morell and
Stevenson. Mr.. Jones speaks of
going to his farm in Marshall coun
ty. We regret very much to give
him and his family up.
Two of our young bloods, D. f,
W., and E. A. s., went calling u few
evenings past. After Willing away
several hours very pleasantly on
the silvery tipped wings of loveand
fancy, d. suggested to Mack to let's
ride; and ride they did. For when
they got to where they had hisched
their horses they found. them miss
ing; they knew the road was very
muddy; and besides, not a single
star was seen glimmering in the
sheen of heaven to give them light,
Finally, they set out, for home max
ing the elements ring with tramp,
Tramp, Tramp, boys we are march
ing." After Juggling about six
miles on the darkest of nights and |
through the thickest of mud tsey |
retired to rest firmly resolved to die |
Old Bachelors if such. as they had |
passed through was necessary to
win woman's affections.

disease of the heart, Wednesday
night, Jan. Both, Mr.. j. NJ. johnson,
aged about 81 years. He had been
a faithful member of the Church
for so years, and died full of faith
and of love. He was the subject OF
many affections for a long time,
being scarcely able to do any work,
but through all of them ne leaned
upon the Savior for consolation.
He expired in the act of getting out
of bed to sit by the fire.

The killing of Williams by Davis
is the only murder that has oc-
Cured among US since the war.
This probably would not have been
done in an incorporated place. The
grocer here conducts his business
as well, | suppose, as can be done
in place of this kind. We learn
that Davis didn't drink any here on
the day of his difficulty with Will
liams.
The friends of morality and the
Church are disposed TO remove the
liquor trade all from the country to
town, by having institutions of
learning chartered. This we un-
derstand has been done for Brick
Church Academy, which institution
is within three miles of this place.

ShOal Creek.

EDITOR CITIZEN About 8 miles
south of Pulaski, back among the
the hills in deep vale rises little
stream and puts out on its course in
a southeasterly direction. 1t is a
very crescent little stream, for all
along there are minor branches
flowing into it, and in A miles from
its source it assumes the impor-
lance of a creek. Running on, di-
viding the 3rd civil district diago
nally but never losing its general
direction. and into Alabama where,
at about IA miles from its origin,
its limpid waters are emptied into a
stream of larger tribe-Elk River.
This creek is called Shoal Creek
Along its banks lie some splendid
farming lands, as good perhaps as
any in the south of Giles. This
land is generally owned and cult
waited by farmers of exemplary
thrift. They give due attention to
wheat and have q large amount
sown this year. Though late, it is
looking well. Hereare the Hannas,
Whites, Pettys, Reagins, Joneses,
Waters, Paisleys and others, all of
whom are splendid farmers, and the
same of them as citizens,
1t is the opinion of the writer the
voters on this creek will go sofia
for "ye local'' in next August cleo
ton.
The roads here are bad-too
much mud
The chief mart on this creek is
at the place formerly called Reagin-
vile but, the Reagin part of that
name is a m.snomer. The real
name is Sawdust Valley. At this
place Mr.. A. C.. Thompson, one of
the most energetic saw mill men
ever saw, is operating a good mill.
He has great deal of lumber on
hand and is doing large business
to Northern markets. He
keeps several hands busily EN-
ployed. Among them is one of the
most talented laughers l ever heard.
The other evening heard him
laugh eighteen hundred yards and
recognized his voice without the
aid of q telephone. This good fell
low laughs hearty. rollicking, ex-
plosive laugh all the way down from
the crown of his head to the utmost
extremity of his big toe. If he was
ever sick and had a doctor near him
l don't know it. His laugh is so
musical that his companions call
him the diving calliope. A la,

District No. /.

AS you have no correspondents
from this District, ] thought it not
amiss to scribble you q few lines in
my uncouLh way and let you hear
from us. Well, we are all doing the
best we can, these wet, muddy
times. The roads are somewhat
new cut or filed with mud, so that
the most of us stay at home unless
we have very urgent business else
where, We sometimes think that
our neighbors are indisposed, as we
can not see or hear from them, but
the bad roads account for that. The
health OF the community is good at
present.
Farmers are beginning to repair
their fences and to get ready for
another crop, though some have not
done gathering their last years
crop yet
There have been a great many
marriages over here this winter and
Others are expecting to be off soon.
I he boys say that the largest size
women only cost 80 cents, and they
don't know but what the next leg
islature viii make them worth more,
as they must do something more
than vote themselves $4,000.
The wheat crop Is not very prom
Using.
We have preaching every two
weeks at Smyrna by the Rev. Mr..
Rhey and we expect TO have Sun
day school when we get the house
repaired and the weather gets warm
er. Although we were blessed with
good crops last year money seems
to be scarce. Many of our people
have not paid their texes for 1877,
and have. not the mOney TO pay
with.
We are delighted with our bridge
and viii ever feel grateful TO you
for your influence through the CIR
IzES in helping US TO get II and also
10 tic County court for making the
appropriation. Some Of Us are for
Reputation, as we do not think we
eau shoulder the debts of our IA

ED. CITIZEN Your welcome Wis.,
itor is to hand. l have read the
communication from Boas and am
well pleased with the Christian
spirit in which it is written. 1 do
not say that Boas has taken back
what he said in a former number of
the CITIZEN, but given a satisfac-
tory explanation to me, and l hope
to all that may have felt themselves
aggrieved. l have no doubt Boas
loves this village and people and
wishes them we'll, and means what
he says in his last communication.
Now let me say that l do hope and
pray that wickedness may cease i'll
our midst, and holiness may pre-
vail. Now, to Boas, here is my
hand in Christian brotherhood.

ElktOn.

We are sorry of saying IN our
last letter that our townsmen begin
to speak to each other civilly; peo-
pie may think from that that the
ElktonIans are not on the best OF
terms with each other, but we as
sure them that we are; our towns
men were always noted for their
kindness to one another.
DR.. L. E. Reed, of Lewisburg,
came down on a visit to his many
friends in this neighborhood a few
days since. Ras looks somewhat
older than when we last saw him,
but he is as Baughish as ever. John
Barlow and Will Griffis leave this
place next Sunday; we understand
that they will spend the most of
their time in the vicinity of Pros
pect; hope you will enjoy your
selves, boys. Capt. w. j. Ridgway
started an express, train up the
pike last week for Nashville via
Pulaski; it must have skipped over
the last named village as we saw no
account of its arrival in the CITIZEN.
The members of the G. p. Church
of this place have recently pur-
chased a number of chandeliers for
their church which improves that
building very much. The Metho-
dist church is to nave a carpet
which has already been ordered; so
you see there is improvement in the
churches if in nothing else,
Miss Lizzie McLaurine, a charm
ing young lady of Bee Spring, is Wis
iting here; we wish her a pleasant
visit.
Wheat looks splendid in this part
of the county; also corn and cotton;
also the boys of this vicinity. (By
way of atonement for speaking Of

The beautiful and artistic iron
railing on the veranda at the Os
born House was designed, moulded
and put up by our young friend
Frank Webb. He is following
right in the footsteps of his father,
who is a practical genius in me
chanics. His foundry is a new
enterprise in Pulaski, and this iron
railing is a new feature entirely for
the town. 1t should be a matter OF
pride to every Pulaskian that we
have such an establishment as
Webb's in the place 1t would be
creditable TO a town of much larger
pretensIons. Mr.. Webb will fur

lion ratings, as low as anybody,
and we hope every citizen of Pu

send of for anything in his line.
