A Wonderful oreration.

Drs. Duncan Eve and Deering J..
Roberts of Nashville performed a
wonderful operation upon Mrs. Will
Hams, daughter of MI. Jno. A.
Beasley, at the residence of DR.. j.
G. Roberts in Pulaski last Sunday
morning. They were assisted by
several of our physicians. The OPP
Grafton consisted in the removal of
an encisted multolocular abdominal
tumor, weighing 65 pounds. An
incision of about twelve inches was
made in the abdomen through
which the tumor was removed. Mrs.
Williams could not have lived long
without the operation. But little
hopes were felt that she would sur
vive it, anil she only lived until the
next afternoon.

a Preacher Captured.

One of those pleasing episodes in
the pastors life, which like angels
visits are few and far between, was
brought to happy elimination al
the residence of the Rev. DIR. Du-
Bose last Thursday afternoon. In
accordance with a pre-arranged
programme the members of the
Doctors congregation assembled in
q body and marched in solid col
umn to capture him and his family.
Seeing that resistance was useless
the Reverend gentleman raised Il
white flag, or cravat, or something
else which betokened full surren
der, and the party entered without
firing gun. To say that the pris-
oners were genously treated would
be giving but a faint expression
to the generosity of the magnani-
nous captors. The commander-in-
chief, Col. j. A. Rogers, ordered
that three months rations of -four,
hams, coffee, sugar, rice, tea,
canned goods, pickles, vegetables,
OSS'1 OO Aoo0CA az OhOC W bA4C
bers of the beleaguered household.
In an instant, as if by magic, the
house was Overlooking with more
plantation supplies than were ever
before seen in one preachers house
at any one time. Not satisfied with
this bewildering ovation, the com
mander ordered a supply of dry
goods and millinery goods of near
ly every imaginable description and
forthwith the parsonage assumed
the airs of a country store just
opening it's fall stock. The Doc
tor, as well as his family, was com
pletely conquered. He pronounced
the event as one of the greenest
spots in bis memory and said with
great fervor that never in his life of
sixty years had ne experienced so
much genuine pleasure. 1t is need
less to add that the donors were
even happier than the recipients,
for we all know that it is more
blessed to give than 10 receive.
After spending an hour in delight
full converse the storming party ad
journed to meet again at the same
place next Christmas Eve Browns
vile States.

Married.

On last Thursday evening, Oct
16, 1879, at 6 o'clock at Mt. Olivet
Church, by Rev. N. NJ. Long, DR.. j
H. KEELING OF Pulaski and Miss
JENNIE DICKERsoN of Bufords Sta
Attendants-Mr. Rivers Carter
with Miss Annie Buford; Mr.. Hume
r. Steele with Miss Ella Brandon
Mr.. S. E. F. Rose with Miss Luls
Jones; Mr.. Thos. NJ. Jones will
Miss Alice Osborn. The ushers
were Messrs. Henry Arrowsmith
Terry Dickerson, Jno. r. Jones and
DR.. L. B. Stanley.
Notwithstanding the beating wind
and ram fair number of friends
assembled to witness this consum.
nation of hope, happiness and love
three pearls that always sweeten
the bitterest cup of life. The
church was beautifully decorated
with flowers of variable character,
and when the bridal party entered
the door they marched in graceful
style to the altar to the delightful
strains of a wedding march execu
ted by Miss Maude Edmundson,
the bride and groom taking posi-
ton under an archway of ever
greens erected Immediately in front
of the altar. TIE ceremony was af-
ter the old English custom which
every one knows is beautiful and
impressive, the lady being given
away by Mr.. Achilles Dickerson.
The handsome dress of the bride
was of plain and brocaded satin of
cream tint, made bouffant, with
paniers, and deliberately trimmed
with point lace of the most elegant
character. A profusion OF orange
flowers added no little to her ex-
quisite attire, while a gossamer vail
enveloped the lovely figure and
flowed gently back in fleecy waves
until lost In the intricate folds of
the graceful train. She carried in
her hand fan made of two crane
wings-pure white-fnished off
with satins and other trimmings in
excellent taste, and what was more
noticeable about it, the work of or
namenting was executed by the def
fingers of the fair bride herself.
The wings were presented to her by
the groom about twelve months
ago. The angelic attendants of the
bride, together with the gentlemen
of the party, added their quota in
making this scene rich in beauty.
Immediate y after the ceremony the
bridal party came to town and pro-
ceeded to Martin College, where a
magnificent supper awaited them,
and where the happy pair received
the congratulations of their friends.
Suffice it to say that each is wor-
thy the other, and it is hoped shat
when old age shall have crept upon
them, as gently as the coming on
of evening mild" they both can
look back on two lives of perfect
happiness, made so by
Glove that is spirit blest,
Love that never dies at all"
The presents were a silver water
set, by the ushers and gentlemen
attendants; a set of silver knives
and forks by Mrs. Fletcher Tar
pley; a silver floral stand by Mr..
and Mrs. F. 6. Buford; and a sew
ing machine presented by the Doc
tor to his bride.

How We Stand.

"a Subscriber" wants to know
how we stand on the state debt
question, and what course we In
tend to pursue if "the party"should
nominate a candidate for governor
who is "tinctured" with repudia-
ton. We do not hesitate to an
swer promptly and categorically.
We stand perfectly upright on the
question-that is to say, we favor q
settlement of the debt based on the
consent of the creditors, and utter
ly removed from compulsory action
of every character and description
on the part of the debtor. We re-
gard this debt as perfectly legal
and moral obligation, inasmuch as
it was contracted with the knowl-
edge and consent of the people
themselves, through their duly
elected and accredited agents, and
if there are any equities in the mat
ter, leading to a reduction of the
sum total, we think these should
be submitted to the creditors in q
respectful manner, leaving it with
them to decide whether or not they
are worthy of favorable considera-
ton.
To the second question our reply
shall be equally frank and explicit.
If "the party" should nominate as
its candidate for governor a man
tinctured with Reputation doc
trines, which God forbid, we shall
refuse to support him either with
our vote, voice, or pen. We are
told that this sort of talk has a ten
dency to split "the party" Well,
be it so. If the cohesiveness of
the Democratic organization de-
ponds on a wanton disregard OF
public faith, and an audacious vio-
lation of the honor of States, the
sooner the splinters fly the better.

DR.. Guy Sumpter Is good drug
gist, a splendid owl fancier, clever
fellow, but rather poor on a COW
trade. About three months ago he
rode several miles in the country to
see q man who owed him $14.50.
He collected the debt by taking a
COW and paying the man the account
and So in money. He brought the
cow home, boarded her three
months, and sold her the other day
for eight dollars, and took pay in
hay at little over market price.
He lost 81 in cash, $14.5O in ac-
count, So in overprice of hay, 1915
feed for COW, and the COW valued at
IS, making total losses, $2s.25.
Total assets, hay Sc; experience
$25; total $3I. Net gain, $1.75.
We would draw a valuable moral
from this, but the point of our pen
Gil turned sick at the stomache
when we commenced to comment.

A subscriber at Elkmont Station
the other day reared up on his hind
legs and let loose his venom upon
the CITIZEN, because he had failed
to get his last one. He was about
to burn the depot and tear up the
track and went over to commence
by numbering the postmaster. That
functionary wanted to know what
he had done to be murdered for, so
that he could tell Peter the disease
that carried him off. The irate SUBJ
scriber balanced his wrath on his
front tooth, struck an attitude and
made the muscles in his legs culver,
like the cannon ball man in a cir
Gus, and said:
"Whence cometh the PULASKI
CITIZEN not, and how thus doth it
also appear to remain hence? My
bowels yearn for its savory news,
my eyes are sore to peruse it's
blooming pages, radiant in symmet-
rical concinnity, my people cry for
it, my customers are inconsolable,
and likewise / wish it to wrap up a
pound of nails for neighbor whose
stable leaketh. Dash blank the
post Office department, and blang-
take the railroad, and dad-gum the
CITIZEN mail-clerki l will have re-
venger'
$50 slow, friend" said the post
master, as the froth-mouthed mad
man was about to unsheath his an
ger as he practiced with his fists on
an empty mailbag: Here's your
CITIzEN-been here four days, while
you sat up there playing checkers
on a keg and soldering on your
shirt bosom"
"Well, by Jo., is that sop Beg
pardon. If you've got twenty cents
we'll set 'em up and call it square.

Old Giles.

We are glad to learn, as we do
from the Pulaski CITIZEN, that the
late Fair in that place was a grand
success in every particular-the
best that dear Old Giles ever had.
Visitors pronounced it better than
the Safe Fair at Nashville. A trav-
eler from an Eastern Agricultural
house pronounced the display of
farm and garden products the fin
est he ever saw. In the blooded
stock rings the exhibitions were
exceedingly gratifying.
We had something to do with
the organization of the Giles Coun-
ty Agricultural and Mechanical
Society, in 1855, and have never
lost our feeling of interest in any
thing pertaining to it.
The first premium we ever re-
ceived on printing was awarded by
that association. A million good
wishes for Old Giles and her gener-
Gus hearted people, Chattanooga
Chronicle.

The county court of Giles county
cannot afford to ignore or neglect
the turnpike interests of the county.
There is now a turnpike "boom"
among the people. There are four
or five of them needed and needed
badly, and they can be built now
with very little if any cost to the
county or people. All that is need
ed is the proper effort and action on
the part of the county court. 1t is
within its power now to give US
these things we have so long needed
and craved. Will it be equal to the
responsibilities resting upon it?
We pray the members thereof
to realize the vast Importance
of this matter. AL eyes are
turned upon them. All hands are
outstretched toward them for help.
Will they step forward to our res
cue? We mast have pixies to
Bradshaw, to Brick Church, to
Campbellsville, to Bohemian and to
Sugar Greek. These are impera-
lively demanded. Will the county
Court give them to us? 1t may
have to pay some contractor small
bonus upon each, tat what OF thai?
The county can unord to do much
more than will be required, In order
to accomplish so important a work.
Again we appeal to our magistrates
to wake uD to this subject.

Mr.. Buck Baugh was riding down

Mr.. Buck Baugh was riding down
the pike with another citizen of
Elkton not long since and just be-
low Crooked creek he pointed out a
beech tree and said that he had pri-
vate information that during the
war large sum Of money had been
secreted in a hollow tree near there,
and that tree filed the description.
He cautioned his partner to say
nothing and they would shortly
investigate and divide. That night
his partner took another into the
secret and they Immediately hitchcd
up and with a new AK started for
the tree, cut it down, found it solid,
and sneaked back home. Mr..
Baugh found it out and would have
told the joke on them, but they
begged so, Andrew such pictures of
the ridicule to which they would be
subjected, that mis- heart Bledsoe
for them that he would not tell.
