The reception given Mr.. Jas. A,
White and his beautiful bride last
Thursday night at the residence of
the groom's mother was one OF the
most brilliant affairs that falls to
our lot to record. The bridal party,
consisting of Mr.. White and bride,
Messrs. Ed Buford AID Newton H.
White, and Miss Lucille Galloway
of Memphis, reached Pulaski Thurs
day afternoon, and Immediately
proceeded to the beautiful home OF
the groom's mother, two miles from
town. Before 9 o'clock the spacious
halls AID parlors were thronged
with friends offering congratula-
tions-among which number Pu-
laski was largely represented by her
beauty and gallantry. Every part
of the building was Ornamented
with flowers, and the marriage bell
which hung in a conspicuous place
was indeed beautiful and quite no
ticeabl". At 1920 o'clock the
guests were invited to supper, where
they were greeted by a bountiful
board that was inviting 10 the eye,
tempting to the palate, and was de-
servedly pronounced elegant. The
occasion was greatly enjoyed by all
present. In fact, it could not have
been otherwise, for the hospitality
of Mrs. White and her daughters is
second to none, and visit to their
home is always pleasant. The pref,
cradle mode of enjoyment seemed
to be promenading in the moonlight
in the large front yard, where the
aroma of sweet flowers greeted the
olfactories and the "soft silvery
rays of the moon" inspired poetic
thought and made more enjoyable
the sweet c. ncord of sounds which
ever and anon foated out from the
parlors, and gave a charm and an
enchantment to the surroundings.
Memorable will be the event that
celebrated the nuptials OF Mr. = as
A. White and Miss Mary W. Gal
laway.

From the pulpit and in the CITI
ZEN over the signature of station
attention has been directed to our
last notice of the Pleasant Valley
Sunday school which reads: "Our
Sunday school is not so large as it
was last year. Bro. Duncan kept
us at our posts nearly all the time,
The reins were held with a vigorous
hand, the lash sharply applied to
delinquents. Bro. Turner, in the
kindness of his heart, allows us
greater latitude which we take as
a matter Of course"
Station" says we reflected on
our pastor and did the community
injustice. No such thing was in
tended. We sustain the most pleas
ant relations TO this community aud
pastors named. Would not inten-
tIonally wound the feelings OF any
o ne, and have never written word
in malice Tor publication. Should
anything from our pen give ofen sc,
no one would more readily make
suitable apology or explanation.
We have no disposition TO "shoot
folly as it flies" We spoke of oar
school only, not Olivet and Blu
ford's, as "Statlon" has i'll We
said nothing OF waning" and "stir-
riEg up;" the inference TO as seems
gratupeus. Conclusions and inau
ences dependr--erV much on the
state Of the mind. Since our last
more than twenty have been added
TO our S. 5. 1t now numbers a
little over one hundred. Last year
1t reached, if we mistake not, about
one hundred and forty.

Lynnville.

Lynnville lost her correspondent
and one of her brightest ornaments
when Rev. Mr.. Stoddard left us,
since which time she has not been
heard of by the outer world. She
still lives for all that and does an
Immense business in her way. For
wheat, corn and fine stock she
stands far ahead of any place in the
county. Her business OUTLOOK is
encouraging, and although she has
dozen or more large business
houses, Col. Gordon is putting up
another for the use of Smith d
Wagstaff. Our grain merchant, H.
M. Fleming, is making preparation
to handle large quantities of wheat
this year. Our very enterprising
friend Thomas Wilkes shipped a
new barrel of flour from here Sat
urday, May 3lst. Last year he
shipped one on the 2Sth Of May.
We expect this is the first in the
State. Wheat is generally too thin,
and rust has made It's appearance,
and a good deal of uneasiness is
felt for the result. Crop a little
over half the area of last year.
Some fields are fine. Harvesting
will be general by the 10th. Corn
and cotton are very promising.
More cotton planted than since
1872. was shown a stalk a foot
high with squares. The weather
has been quite dry, but all night
last night. the clouds have dropped
their fullness down, and this morn
ing all things are lovely.
Lynnville, like her larger sisters,
is afflicted with the travelling nui-
sances. She is afflicted with two
latter-day saints-preachers from
Utah. Among our welcome guests
we notice DIR. Wayne Morris
and lady of Wayne county. Last
week we had Mr.. II. j. Townsend
and lady of Hillsboro, Ala, than
whom none could be more welcome.
They lived here in IS72-73 and
made friends of all who knew them,
and on this occasion all seemed TO
vie with each other to make their
stay pleasant. All regretted the
absence of their little daughter,
Hattie, who was the pet of the town
when here..' May they come often.
Mrs. Esq'r Wagstaa has been and
is quite sick. Also Mrs. George
.bCampbell is in feeble health. Our
l.old friend, that toweB of physical
morai and religious strength, Mr.
A. A. Dickerson, is PROSTATE with
chills. May he soon recover.
Old Lynnville was much disap
pointed on not hearing the gifted
MN. Robinson preach Sunday, but
DIR. Lock came nobly to the rescue,
and right ably did he supply the
loss.
We saw our young friend Joe
Braden behind fine blood Satur
day looking as if he had made it in
a 2 40 gait from Pulaski. This was
one of Lynnville's fine horses that
was sacrificed in Pulaski a. the
stock sale. We were disappointed
IN this sale. This horse ought to
have brought 5000. Sheep that
were selling readily at $40 here
went for SO to So. Our stock men
are full of energy and are not dis.
couraged.
The air is full of matrimonial
rumors. LYNN.

THE NEW YORK STORE
i receives goods daily.
Parker's Store.

snake hay while the sun shines
seems to be the motto of our farm
ers just now, judging by the way
they are pushing things. 1 suppose
the approaching harvest is one Of
the incentives to action. People
have been favored with good wealth
er for cultivating crops, and the
present status shows that they have
taken advantage of it. Old farmers
have expressed the opinion that the
prospects for a good cotton crop
this season are more hatterIng than
for a long time. Corn is rather
backward here but is looking well
nevertheless. Oats are better than
usual, and if the rust does not strike
them the yield will be quite beyond
the expectation Of growers. Wheat
is looking fine and present pros
poets indicate above an ordinary
yield. l refer to wheat sown on
good land and good stand. The
funeral dirge of the cut worm hath
been sung and garden truck pros
pereth. Old Soils heating rays
have driven them to lower depths,
and we hope peace and tranquility
are restored to this house.
While we are writing the rain is
gently falling, quenching the thirst
of the parched earth, reviving veg
citation and making all nature glad,
causing our hearts to rise in thank
full emotions and appreciative feel
ings to the great Fountain of all
good.
There are no changes going on
in our village now. Chronic tat
tiers are moving on in the tenor of
their. way while no one heeds their
latest effort; and with that excep
tion we have no cause or reason to
say otherwise than that we are NOV
'Ipg along well enough socially. L
hold that the world is composed of
but two classes, the good and the
bad, the high aud low, noble and
ignoble, respectable and disreputa-
he, all these 60 to make up the
two classes az humanity. Wealth
and the so-called social distinction
arc no separating lines in my opin
ion, but every one belongs to one or
the other of these classes. ANY
one going about circulating reports
on his neigEbors with view to
mischief and injury naturally be-
longs to the lower class and has no
right or shadow of a claim to a po-
sition in the upper class, although
be may count his dollars by the
hundreds. The man who deliber-
ately tells a falsehood upon an indi-
vidual is more to be feared than n
thief. de who attempts to scar a

It is kept by Mr.. Jno. NJ. Cayce,

many weeks at this excellent re-
treat, and aside from the delightful

that girt the springs about, the
water is delicious and strongly i'm
pregnated with medicinal qualities
that strengthen and build up ener-

Pulaski, and we advise all who seek
comfort, pleasure and health to
avail themselves of Mr.. Cayce'
extraordinary inducements.

Wheat harvest is right upon us.
A little rust is noticed. The cold
rains of Sunday and Monday may
damage the crop further. 1t gener-

that the small acreage sown and
the moderate yield will afford very
little for export.
