The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1879-03-13
Bohemian.

ne matrimonial Ice OF our
branch was broken last Tuesday,
and our young friend H. F. Kim
brough was victlmized by Cupid's
unerring darts. The arrow was ex
tracted with much grace and felici
ty by our honorable denizen, Esq'r
r. d. Reed. May the effulgent
rays of bliss cast a light in their
pathway, and natures choicest
blessings rest upon them.
Most of our young people visited
the supper at Trinity last Tuesday
night. The entertainment was one
of the most enjoyable occasions of
the season. The church was bril-
liantly Illuminated and beautifully
ornamented, and the supper was
composed of the most delicate
viands of natures gifts. The most
prominent feature, however, was
the lecture delivered by Rev. j. ID.
Barbee, on the requisites of acquir-
ing wealth. Rev. Barbee as a lee
turer needs no eulogy. His fluent
speech and superior eloquence was
rare compensation to his learned
auditors.
Here we omit page concerning
the supper, very complimentary to
all concerned, because the same has
already been said by another cor
respondent.
We are sorry Kully has construed
our PLAIN ideas into bombastic mag
niloquence. We always try to
make our ideas as plain as possible
without any ostentation of pedantry
whatever. If, however, there is
anything egregious in our writings,
we can thankfully say, without de
flaming truths proud temple, that it
was not amassed bv plagiarism & as
several snppose) but lucubrated by
the midnight taper, at whose Inn
pid fountain the sweetest nectar of
knowledge and wisdom is drank.
Self confidence is to US, worth more
than a thousand limitations, and
should be TO US a stepping stone in
the future. There is nothing lmpos-
sible, and man fails to do only be-
cause he fails to try. 1t is true that
such authors as Shakespeare and
Daniel Webster were endowed with
superior faculties, yet had they net
been possessed with self confidence
ard had attempted plagiarism as
method of rendering themselves i'm
mortal to our memory, never could
they have scaled the PERCEPTIONS
heights of eminence and written
their names in blazing capitals high
on the indellible tablets of immor
tality's proud throne.
Mr.. Joshua English of Camp
bellsvile is student at Bohemian
Academy. We congratulate him
upon having the good fortune Of
placing himself under the tutelage
of pedagogue of such renowned
eminence as that of Prof. Ander
son. Mr.. A. w. Whitson, a pre-
dominant star of the Bohemian
constellation, we regret to learn has
gone to try his fortune in Alabama.
We doh't see how we viii give him
up, unless Booker, our phitin editor,
assumes the vacancy. Mr.. j. L.
Yancey is convalescing of short
spell of sickness that almost Bat
tied him out. We have three splen-
did schools in our vicinity under
the supervision of w. Anderson, f.
Wood and G. w. Carter-all three
men worthy of their professions.
Petty's steam mill is in full blast
under the management of Messrs.
$. Woodland and j. Buchanan. Oh
serving the recent structure of SO
many pens and coops, we conjec-
ture the ladies are preparing for the
Methodist preachers. The agficul-
tural mania has taken advantage OF
the good weather, and pushed bust
ness with unrelaxed vigor. Mr.. NJ
Lasseter of Pulaski was in our town
last week, securing the plains of
Weak ley in pursuit of fur skins.
We are Indebted to our YOUNG
friend Mr.. James Petty, for an owl
exterminator. His method deserves
at least the patronage of the Metho-
| dist preachers. Masters Edgar and
Felix Anderson OF Pulaski are
amassing erudition at the fountain
/ head, which means students at 20
denham Lycepm. Harch. l0sn.
