Hymen at Pleasant Valley.

Twas 1880 on the evening of Jan.
18th. A clouded canopy o'erhung
the world; the stars were shrouded
in a vale of mist; the vivid light
nings flashed and shook their fiery
darts upon the earth; the deep
toned thunder rolled along the
vaulted sky; the elements were
in wild commotion; but all were
merry and joyous at the residence
of Mrs. Mary Alternately. But
hush! harkl who comes there? IT'S
the attendants: Mr.. r. A. Aber-
nathy and Miss Melhe Alternately !;
Mr.. j. E. Tacker and Miss Verena
Wheeler; Mr.. j. NJ. Howard and
Miss Inez Alternately; Mr.. G. c..
Vaughan and Miss Bette Aber-
nathy. But who is that just pass
Ing the threshold? Ali that is the
elegantly attired and manly form of
VIM. O'Neal, bearing on his arm his
beautiful and blushing bride.
Whose voice is that ringing out so
clearly and distinctly? That is the
well known voice of the Rev. L. j.
Duncan. Yes, it is his and he has
solemnized the rites of matrimony,
and VIM. O'Neal and Willie Aber-
nathy are no more twain but one
flesh. After the congratulations
the entire party repaired to the din
ing room, where the table stood
groaning beneath its load of the
richest and best prepared viands
of which it has ever been our pleas
ure to partake. Having done JUS
tlce to the supper the party re
turned to the parlor, where the
hours sped away on golden wings,
being sweetly interspersed with
music, reading, chatting and low
ing. AT proper time the brides
cake was brought in and cut.
Miss Lavica Knox of Lynnville was
jubilanPover the ring; and Miss
Bette Alternately ives frantic over
the dime; and as for the button
well Bro. Duncan says that buttons
are very indigestable indeed.

The Sunday School Mass Meeting.

The mass meeting OF ali the Sun
day schools of Pulaski. which was
several times postponed before
Christmas on account of Indictment
weather, was held last Sunday night
at the Presby terrain church. There
was no service elsewhere, and the
house was filed with children and
grown people, eager to hear and see
what was to be said and done con-
corning the great Sunday school
caase-a work in which they felt an
abiding interest. After voluntary
by the choir, the services were
opened with reading and prayer by
Prof. w. K. Jones, who was then
made chairman OF the meeting. The
Chairman then called the speakers
in the order arranged on the pro
gramme, and after each speech a
Sunday school song was sung by
the children, led by the choir. Each
Speaker was limited to ten minutes,
nevertheless in that short time he
compressed many happy thoughts
and said much that was impressive
and to the point. The following
was the programme

An Account Of the Storm.

The warm and oppressive state of
the atmosphere, the dark and
threatening clouds surging up in the
western skies gave ominous tokens
of the coming storm. On the eve
ming of the 28th at ABOUT u O'Clock
a violent wind arose just south of
Tarpley's Shop. Taking an almost
easteriy direction it passed through
the farms of Mr.. Geo. Davidson and
Mr.. Geo. Suttle, doing damage to
fencing and timber, also dilapidat
ing, TO some extent, Mr.. Davidson's
dwelling.
Thence it came directly to the
farm of Mr.. Giles Reynolds, demol-
ishing fencing and uprooting a con
siderable portion of a large apple
orchard on the place. Thence
through the lands of Mr.. r. B.
Grove, destroying about 200 panels
of fence, also 100 yards of rock
fence; from there it passed through
the farm OF Mr.. Rob't j. Brunson,
devastating fencing, prostrating
large amount of valuable timber and
dilapidating the house occupied by
Mr.. Good. Rochelle. This was no
ordinary tenant house, being a COM
Portable frame dwelling with good
out houses, all of which were com
pletely destroyed. Mr.. RS meat,
corn and provender were literally
scattered in every direction, and all
his household goods, with wearing
apparel, destroyed. Mrs. Rochelle
received serious injuries from the
falling house, but is slowl y recover
ing. Her little child about five
years old was twice drawn into the
fire by the strong current of wind.
The storm then struck the residence
of Mr.. NJ. M. Thomas, destroying
his house and all it's effects, carry
ing immense logs for some distance,
also scattering new lumber pre-
pared for building, some of it being
blown entirely away. Mr.. Thomas
received severe bruises. Then pass
ing through the land of Mr.. VIM.
Scales, destroying fences and tim
Der, it struck Mr.. Beasley Cobb's
house, taking off the roof and level
ing all out houses. 1t continued on
in the direction of Bunker Hill, do
ing no other damage save to timber
and fencing. The course of the
storm was about 200 yards in width,
sweeping the ground perfectly clear,
prostrating trees and moving every
movable object.
The neighbors, almost without
exception, both white and colored,
came nobly and voluntarily to the
aid of the sufferers. Among the
number we think particularly wor-
thy of mention because of their
faithfulness are Messrs. Rob't John
son, VIM. H. johnson, - Street,
- Sharp and Bob Rose. These
with many others, whose names linn
tied space forbids mention, have al
ready repaired much of the damage.
Our synpathies are especially with
Mr.. Thomas, who is an energetic,
earnest and Woodworking man and
whose loss is great.
The parties injured by the storm
feel under lasting obligations TO
their friends and neighbors who so
magnanimously came to their as
sistance. CoRvUs.

Representative Jno. G. Lester
came out bright and early Saturday
morning, having got in the night be-
fore from the arduous duties Incl
dent to making and unmaking laws
at Nashville, and was anxlousiy
talking around with the boys to
learn the latest town gossip and to
tell what he knew, etc, when he was
approached by a countryman with
cotton sticking all over his clothes,
who said:
Mister, amt you this ere depot
clerk, Mr.. Dump
The Captain looked first at the
stranger and then at his good
clothes, threw himself back on mis-
dignity and was in the act Of giving
vent TO his Indignation, when one of
the boys interPosed:
HE amt Dunn now, stranger,
but he's member of the legislature
and soon will be done for good"
This took the anger out of the
Captain and gave him the dry grins,
taking advantage of which the
stranger vamoosed. 1t is proper to
remark that Mr., Dunn is not vet
pacified.

To take up the events of the day
at once we would say that health is
generally very good in this neigh

Gently, that of Mrs. David II. Par

village graveyard, but for a short
while, soon to wake with her Savior

that there never was a greater
plague of bachelors than exist in

DR.. j. +. Grant had several mis-
haps Sunday, but received no bodily
injuries. He was summoned to
visit Mrs. VIM, Rivers, who is quite
sick at Mr.. Jas. Rivers residence,
ten miles south of town, and when
he got into his buggy at his Office
door it gave way with him and fell
to the ground. He Immediately
got another and drove down the
pike, and when just at Midbridge
the horse fell and the result was an
other buggy was crushed to pieces.
A negro happened along with a
poor horse, with a saddle with rope
stirrup-straps. The Doctors call
was very urgent and he was still
two miles from his patient, so he
determined to try the negroe's
horse, and accordingly started to
mount, when the stirrup broke and
threw him directly under the horse,
which stepped over him without
hurting him. He mended up finally
and made the trip, but had to be
sent back in a spring wagon.

Matrimonial.
jan3O-2t

NASHVILLE, Jan. 81 '79.-MR.
EDIToR:-It was our pleasure and
good fortune to be one of a pleasant
party which assembled at the house
of our mutual and hospitable friend,
E. Hancock, Esq'r, of south Nash
vile, on the evening of the Both
ultimo. The occasion was the mar
riage of Prof. J. X. Powell, of Flor
ence, Ala, to Miss Lula Reynolds,
one of the loveliest and most Iowa
BILE young ladies of our county Of
Giles. We have rarely witr essed
an occasion of this kind, in which
there was a more perfect blending
OF all that was harmonious and
recherche, in the bridal party, the
ceremony, which was performed by
Rev. Mr.. Thompson of Florence,
Ala, the assembled party and the
elegant supper, the enjoyment of
which was in the highest degree
complimentary to the good taste of
our amiable hostess.
1t is seldom the siIken tie binds to-
gether two more fifty mated, seldom
a happy bride passes more grace
fully under the hymenial yoke, or
groom more gallantly accepts the
lovely responsibility. The brides
toilet was most becoming and APP
propriate, but nothing so impressed
us as the gliding of the tender little
white gloved right hand into the
broader nalm of the handsome man
who stood bv her side, and gave
promise, in the manliness that
marked his bearing, that the fond
trust was wisely bestowed.
Thus from our social circle the
charm of most winsome presence
is gone, for Miss Lulie was dIstin
guished for her beauty, and the
sweet womanly graces that adorned
her character.
A flower of rare perfection has
been plucked from our rosebud
garden of girls" May it preserve
its freshness, it's fragrance and
bloom in the SUMMER soil to which it
has been transplanted. Surely a
bow of brighter promise never
spanned a bridal morn.
Our choicest blessings go with
our sweet young friend to the new
home to which she is so proudly
borne, and ou~ generous forgive
ness is extended to the fortunate
groom who has stolen away the
"apple of our eyes," II.

was that the Legislature made big

A Famous Family of Cooks.

We find the following short biog-
raphy of a family that is represent
ed in Pulaski in the February
America Hotel Review. The one
now at the St. Giles has proven
himself an artist:
About the year 1854 there came
to the United States from Switzer-
land a remarkable family-l2 in all,
seven of whom are now engaged in
filling the responsible position OF
chief cook in some of our largest
and best hotels. Their name is
Mive,az.
Frank Mivelaz has been for sew
eraI years chief cook at TIE Louis
vile Hotel. Louis is doing the
honors of the Peabody kitchen at
Memphis, while Peter has charge of
the kitchen at John Gaston's cele-
brated restaurant also in the Bluff
City. Laurence is second cook at
the Louisville Hotel. Nicholas, the
eldest brother, has charge Of the
English Kitchen at Louisville.
Claude Oszier, who married into
the Mivelaz family, has been chief
cook of the Maxwell House for sew
eral years.
August, another of the brothers,
has just left the Waverley at Louis
vile, and, at the earnest solicitation
of the manager of the St. Giles Ho-
tel at Pulaski, Tenn, now caters to
the palates of the guests who stop
at that gem of Southern hotels. Au-
gust served his time at the Louis
vile Hotel and was with the late
Michael Kean in 1853.
1t is not without reason that the
Mivelaz family are considered the
greatest and best artists now EN-
ploved in American hotels.
