The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1879-12-25
Lawrenceburg Notes.

Circuit Court is just over and we
have had what we might term
"boom" all the week, for we have
done more business than any week
of the year. 1t seemed that every
body and his kind had business
either with His Honor Judge Nc
Lemore or some of our merchants.
Besides the citizens of the county
there have been a good many dis
tinguished gentlemen from abroad,
the Hon. E. I. Taliaferro, Captain
Matthews, Capt. A. G. Irvine and
Maj. L. NJ. n. Jones, from your
city. Mr.. TalIaferro made what /
consider one of the best arguments
l ever heard in the case of Mays &
Dodson as. Geo. Mester. HIS geu-
tlemanly bearing and easy man
ners have made him a host of
friends in this place and county.
Maury has beer represented by sew
eral gentlemen and two of the fair
est ladies that ever the sun shone
on; they are just too saOeeI would
tell you their names, but / know
those Pulaski boys so well. They
have a mania for goi-g away from
home to marry, and if l were to
draw the faintest picture of the
charms of these beauties, why, Col.
L. their papa would have to re-
fuse some OF them, and l don't wish
to make the boys feel bad The
gentlemen were Messrs. Miles Mays,
Julius Polk, Wash Gordon and
Chris LoOney, the last two came
Gown to attend the most important
social incident that has transpired
in the burg in some time. 1t was
the celebration of the nuptials of
Mr.. Abe Looney of Columbia and
Miss Fannie Stribling, daughter Of
Col. StribIing of this plnce, which
took place at the Cumberland Pres
byterian church last Thursday
Morning at o'clock. The event
had been looked forward to with no
little interest by the friends of the
contra citing parties, and although
the morning was dark and gloomy
and a continual rain falling, from
the time the door was thrown open
there was q continuous stream of
guests until the ceremony was over.
Rev. W L. Nixon ofticiated in his
usual impressive style. The bride
has long been conceded the foremost
place among the beautiful women
of her day, and L must congratulate
her, for size has the manly arm OF a
noble mate to lean upon in the
journey of life. They left imme
diately after the. ceremony for his
home.
had the pleasure of attending
the closing exercises OF the Presby-
terian High School here last night.
This school made the right start by
engaging the services of the very
best teaC hers in the country. Prof.
L. A. Johnson who came to the
school from the State Normal In
stitution at Carbonate, Ill, with
the endorsement of its officers, has
proved himself to be the right
man in the right place. Evi
dences of superior abilities as an
instructor were full and complete
on last night. His assistant, Miss
Alice Spaulding, from the State
Normal Institute at Ypsilanti, Mich,
gives the Professor such assistance
in the primary and female depart
ments as might be looked for in one
possessing her superior attachments
as an accomplished lady and schol-
ar. The exercises were of an ele
waiting kind, bearing the mark and
impress throughout of thorough
ness and real progress. 1 have
never seen children more at ease
end require as little prompting.
This school offers splendid facilities
to the people all over the country
to educate their young men and
women. A word for education can
never be out of place. So allow me
to urge on all the prime necessity
of good schools, one OF which we
have in our High School in Law.

During the term past several schol.

would be great injustice.
