The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1879-01-16


evening of the 18th by the brilliant
reception of James Benton Boyd,
and charming bride at the residence
of his father, John p. Boyd
The youth and beauty of Lynnville
assembled at an early hour TO meet
the bridal party, am4hg whom were
three of Pulaski's fairest flowers.
Misses Lizzie W., Ada. W., and Sue
NJ, and a lily of the valley of Rich
land, Miss Sallie L. The hours sped
by on pinions of gold, and many
heart felt the strange, sweet power
of love gently stealing in upon it,
oblivious of Virgi's warning "Vari-
am ct nauta6ile Senper It-n1iga. Sup
per is announced and gallant beauX
led the ladies fair to n scene at
which the gods accustomed to the
nectar and ambrosia of Olympus
would gaze in delight. Miss Anna
B. johnson was the fairy whose en-
chanting wand gave such beauty
of arrangements to the tempting VI
ands prepared under her supervis-
ion.
On the 10Th Hymen made his ap
pearance at Old Lynnville and uni
ted in matrimonial bonds our friend
G. G. Gibbs and Miss Mollie Isaacs.
Prof. G. w. Campbell performed
the ceremony IN his usual felicitous
manner, while Mr.. L. 2. Fry and
Miss Alice Higdon (Myrtle) were
impromptu attendants. A hand
somer couple or one more tastefully
attired is rarely seen. After the
ceremony invited guests repaired to
the residence of Mr.. Lynch where
a most sumptuous supper was
served under the superintendent
of Miss Anna Lynch and the even
ing was spent in the usual social
enjoyments. The 18th was of all
the holidays most fraught with
good and i'll. Every fool around
about LynnVille got drunk, bought
all the fire-crackers, Roman candles,
etc, in town and had worlds of fun
in hearing them explode. While
these sOul-stirring events were in
progress on the square DR.. DuBose
was engaged in tying the knot mat
rimonial for our gallant young
friend Mr.. Albert Shields and Miss
Ada HIgdon, who Immediately went
to Columbia where Mr.. 5. now re-
sides. At night in the Christian
church in Old Lyunville Christ
mas tree laden with presents for
the Sunday School and others was
unveiled and stripped of It's treas
ures in the presence of an admiring
multitude.
The reunion of Prof. Campbell's
present and former students at the
Academy on the evening of the 9th
was in all respects a most enjoyable
occasion. The weather was unfa-
vorable, and yet the house was
crowded with bright, happy and in
telligent faces, assembled to live
over again the days of "Auld Lang
Syne." Among old students pres
ent from abroad we noticed our
handsome and popular Deputy Sher-
if, Mr.. g. G. Vaughan from Wales,
that charming brunette from Beth
ell, Miss Laura Walker, accompa-
MED by our welcome friends, Messrs.
bearing, Whitson and Wilson from
Slate Springs, and Mr.. Willie and
Miss Kate Anderson from Brick
Church, besides many others, whose
mention space forbids. The litera-
ry exercises began with an address
of welcome delivered in highly
credItable style by Mr.. Fortress
Anderson. Miss Anna Horne next
held the audience spell bound-not
with the uninterrupted thoughts of
her Latin essay SO beautifully read
but by the grace of her charming
person. Mr.. John WagstaG fol
lowed with an address in Greek
which might as well have been ia
the Coptic tongue so far as your
correspondent was concerned, but
was highly applauded by his learned
hearers. Miss Clara Bodenhamer
concluded this part of the program
with an essay bristling with logic
and adorned with the beauties of
rhetoric. She has been requested
to publish it, to which request your
correspondent heartily subscribes.
AT nine o'clock refreshments were
served with Charlie Smith, Clifford
Thomas, John Boyd, Jr., Porter
Carter and other handsome youths
as walters. After supper Prof. G.
made his announcements for spring
session for 1879, the prospects of
which are very hatLering, as the
merits of the school are becoming
more and more recognized at home
and abroad. At twelve good-byes
were spoken and silence reigned in
the Old Academy. The usual
Christmas parties continued a few
days and Christmas at Lynnville
came to an end. n. S. Y.
