The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1879-11-27
Campbellsville.

AS it has been some time since our
quiet little village was represented in
your much welcomed paper, we
would say that while the God of Ma
ture has seen proper to change the
seasons, our hills and valleys have
laid down their beautiful robes and
assumed their brown foliage, max
ing everything seem drsary. But it
is well with us as it is; blessed
with a bountiful corn crop, much
beyond the sturdy old farmers ex-
pectations, also an abundant cotton
crop, at the advance Of prices, make
all nature glad and the people re-
joice. For blessed are those that
SOW, for they shall reap. Without
any deaths or marriages to let your
readers know of, we hasten on to
the end of the year ever singing
praises to the Most High for our
bouL1iful supplies and especially
the excellent health that our neigh
borhood is now enjoying. Many
incidents have occurred since /
last wrote you. Even the fire
tiend has spread its destructive
flames in our midst, laying waste
the cooking departments and other
houses OF DR.. j. II. Campbell; but
he has erected a very handsome
residence upon the same lot which
adds greatly to the appearance OF
our village. Since the beautiful
frost has spread its snow white
wings over our land, we notice our
old friend Josh, from Bohemian.
All, what pleasure lay in walt for
him in his old hsunts. He only
complains of having to carry 206
pounds which is a small item for a
youth of his requirements. Mad
ame Rumor says that Cupid has
hurled his penetrating dart to the
hearts of some of our young folks,
consequently we will have some
weddings yet to let you know of.
Boys don't forget to let US know in
time to get there by the time the
ParsOn does.
1t is our unbounded pleasure to
note the return of our friend and
fellow citizen, w. j. Morris, who
was arrested last June in this
county for murder and carried 20
Arkan sas, where he appeared for
trial in September, but the case was
continued by the State. Having
applied for bail it was granted,
and we are proud to say q better
bond has never been made in Giles |
county. He is well and looking |
fine. His family visited him while
there and also returned with him.
Their baby boy has had a severe at
tack of diphtheria, but with proper
nursing is now likely to recover.
Numerous friends greeted him on
his return, his Deighborood being |
jubilant over the prospect of his &C
quittal next March. He has none
but kind words for the people here,
and his highest regards are offered |
to those with whom he had transac |
tions while there. He says he was
as well treated as any man could |
ask to be as d prisoner. All he
asks, is that justice may be done.
We hope your valuable paper
may double its number in subscrip-
ton, for no more welcomed visitor
has ever come to our Office. Now
on thing wei liked to have forgotten,
IS the charge against Mart. Now, if
you knew how he has set that girls
brains crazy, you would wish him
On a rail in the Atlantic. But we
wish he could hear her sing with
hat cold she has contracted while
listening to his plaintive tones of
chin music. Go easy, and we won't
say any more, only that joys may
happen more often. j. w. z.
